Gorgeous Pics Joe.
I really like how the woodwork has been preserved and maintained on the building.
The 2nd pic with the ducks in the wake is spectacular. All are really sharp and interesting. You're doing some nice work as of late.

Thanks Alien. The forum cops get their panties bunched up over some really strange issues.

Occasionally they go nutz because a mistake is made and someone posts by mistake a photo gallery post in the Main Photography section. They make a big deal out of it because they are full of themselves and enjoy bullying people over nothing much.

In this case, it seems pretty clear to me my post was in the correct section, and those supposedly getting all recycled over it are just a few that have not been able to bully me in the past, and it's really not related to the subject matter at all and likely just a personal problem with them. I'm rather certain one of them complained to
Admin. about it, because it was moved, but it's as you say, a moot point.

Possibly a photo of an illustration, it is a jpg after all.

Sorry you can't relate to the mind/eye not picking up on everything it sees vs what the camera sees. Obvious example is taking a picture of a flower and not noticing a spider or other insect until you bring up the picture on your computer. Another is spending lots of time editing a photo and think you got it right and the next day you notice you got it way oversaturated/overcooked, or left a blob from a mask, or never noticed how the horizon was crooked. I'll take your word for it you don't get the relationship to photography, I guess your just special.

I think the photo/illustration and my statement clearly shows how it relates to photography, so it certainly does not belong in a non-photography chit chat section. There are a number of forum sections it could have been posted and imo, and plenty of others, it was posted in the most appropriate section.

I find them trite, dull and occasionally amusing.

Thanks Joe, much appreciated

Now that I read your post, you are surely wrong.

No! I thought about it for 2 seconds and decided it belongs here.
I relate it to both taking pictures and editing pictures. Perhaps you didn't read what was said?
I could have posted it in any of a wide number of forums, and I chose this one.

Often, when taking pictures you don't see what was in the frame when you snap the shutter. Sometimes you get photobombed, sometimes you just didn't see the tree for the forest. Also when editing, you can find stuff you missed if you go back the next day and see things you missed. General Chit Chat was not correct for this post.
Thanks for trying to help though.

First, the second baseman needs his hand to be where the ball is?
Any swiping in this case was too late, runner was already safe.

Great photo captures of the action.

Looking at this photo reveals more and more items of interest.
Probably has a lot to do with how we miss things both taking pictures and editing those pictures.

I've been keeping track on a spreadsheet for years and use a variety of sites.
I doubt I need anything near these reported speeds. Lot's of variables when hooking up to a web site.

Nice ones. The first two make me want to be there. The next two, not so much.

I shouldn't say this cause it's from memory, recent memory which is fading fast...
I was watching something the other day, I think it was on measuring the speed of light, or something like that and they said the camera used was capable of a million frames/sec. I thought hmmm, that's AWFULL fast. 3 Trillion frames/sec I have to question, I doubted a million and frankly would need some in depth explanation on how that could be done.

There is a far cry from those offering free help and nasty comments from snarky grumpy folks.

My experience is when I'm offered suggestions they have never been nasty, snarky or containing disparaging remarks. The very rare exceptions occur when in a spirited discussion over some issue and some clown goes through your archives looking for a photo specifically to "disparage." There are very very few UHH'ers that simply trash a photo. If someone says nice pic but a little dark to me... well that's hardly disparaging.

I've been advised numerous times when my horizons were crooked and I NEVER asked. Just this one thing has helped me pay more attention to horizons, both when editing and taking a photo.

I'll be dammed if I'd remotely consider chastising a fellow hog for taking time to provide free suggestions/help/critique. Further, I can't see how anyone could get mad about that? Even further, it's EXTREMLY rare for someone to get nasty and gripe when offered free, unsolicited critique, even in the gallery. It happens, but is so rare it's insignificant.

I've heard numerous times there are more stars out there than grains of sand on earth. When I hear this crap I always wonder who did all this counting?
Same with distances. A million billion light years away...Some of these numbers thrown around are hard to believe, even if true, and again, who did all the counting? The new James Web Telescope seems to be showing lot's of the past "counters" were in fact, wrong.

Great idea. Great result.
