Photograph and Camera talk

[Jett129]

Didn’t want to have to factor in skin tone and texture into my editing process,so I got my assistant/wife to wear a pair of sky blue gloves. I’m very happy with the results.

@Jett129  that’s a beautiful shot and creative as hell. I’m not much of a photographer but I can’t turn down a sunset. Here’s a pic taken at our farm on my iPhone XS

One more because I may have had a drink or three

[steelworker]

As you should be! Beautiful @Jett129

@SKT lovely. Are you in the States?

[SKT]

@steelworker  I am.  Our farm is in Mid-Missouri while I live with my wife and kids in SW Missouri. The farm has been in our family since 1903 and I’m grateful for that.

Full disclosure…In my case,laziness is the mother of invention. The trade off was having to listen to my assistant giving me shit about having to wear a glove to hold my ball. You had to know that was coming!

[SKT]

@Jett129  You ask your assistant to use her gloved hand to gently hold your ball in the creative process and I’m afraid the shits gonna fly especially if said assistant is your wife . I’d say the pic was worth it though

Great shot, @ROman
The glowing sun with the purplish sky looks magic

My fave is the one of two men chatting in the train. Look forward to your next post.

[Jett129]

You have to know I’m loving these!

Thanks to all of you for the kind feedback. Glad you like those shots!!
Chicago was really special. I don’t think I’ve been to another city where there were so many „picture worthy“ situations at every corner and at any time. This city is full of character, personalities, heterogeneity..

Also, did you know (I didn’t, before I visited the Chicago History Museum:

The first ever skyscraper was built in Chicago (Home Insurance Center in 1885, it had a whopping 10 floors and people where afraid of the height).

The first ever birth control pill „Enovid“ was introduced to market by Chicago based G. D. Searle and Company in 1955.

In December 1942, the first ever self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was observed by a group of scientists led by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi in „Chicago Pile-1“. It basically was the proof that an atomic bomb was actually possible. I don’t have to tell you what happened three years later to the country where our favorite jeans come from.

Im no history nerd by any means, but visiting at least 1 museum is a must for me, whenever I’m visiting a new city.

Was out at Yosemite last week,and this is probably the closest I’ll ever get to an Ansel Adams type shot.
