His voice can be heard in the miracle of creation all around us. Give thanks daily for his grace and mercies that are new every morning.

I am glad I don't work for you. You treat people like toner cartridge.


It was just a bit of sarcasm...a touch of humor...sorry that was lost on you.

The idea and practice of arming yourself to defend your home against invaders is not new. In fact, it is a right that is thousands of years old and is as relevant today as it was then.

Sounds similar to hiring a new employee! When the newhire arrives, all fresh and new and full of promise, production is great and everyone is happy. However, over time, production seems to decline somewhat and the excuse is that well it wasn't forever and sooner or later, it needs to be replaced. Sometimes you can tap and shake the employee and get a little more out of them, then the "replace" light comes on, and it's time to reorder...

A rare and unique find. Thanks for including the pictures-words wouldn't have done it.

With everything happening in the world today, now more than ever, we need to make straight the path of the Lord. Pray for discernment and strength in these difficult times.

This is my humble take on this. A photographer is an artist, we do not have the canvas or brushes a painter has but we are still artists. We are also creative, we were when we were using the darkroom and we are now that we have the "digital darkroom."
AI is here to stay and I bet it is the future of ALL editing programs. More and more editors are incorporating AI into their software.

I have always been a fan of landscape photography and although I have been photographing landscapes for more than 50 years I still enjoy very much placing my camera on a tripod and exposing the beautiful scenery our Lord created for us. Nothing makes me more happy than to look at the beauty He created and with all my humble expertise I try to reproduce what I saw in a JPEG or RAW data. How many times I felt frustrated, especially when shooting slide film with those flat, unattractive skies mainly in winter? Many times, there was no way I could fix an otherwise interesting image. AI has changed that. I now have two choices, I can go with what I shot or I can improve what I saw with AI. Many times I go with AI and save the image. Enlargement? No issues, if good attention to details is paid and AI is not over used the image will look very natural.

I understand the purist, I used to be that way also but I cannot deny the improvements that AI has brought to my photography. As I said, we have choices and each one of us should do what pleases us.
To repeat myself, I am very happy using AI, not on all images and now I have new choices. I firmly believe that AI is here to stay.
This is my humble take on this. A photographer is ... (show quote)


It's a photo! No, it's not, it's a composite! No, it's not, it's simply digital artistry! No it's not unless it's over 50% digitally enhanced. And on and on…

To me, a photo is a canvas to either be left intact or edited to suit MY vision and intent. Whether using selections in Camera Raw, Photoshop, Topaz or some other editing software, or using AI selectively, or keeping the SOOC image, the end result is what I seek. Whatever term a person might choose to call the resulting image is not a concern...

As I’m driving or walking around, I’m constantly looking around and asking myself how I could frame things for a photograph. I consider what sorts of interesting perspectives I could use to make what may otherwise be a boring subject more interesting. I’m always taking pictures in my minds eye, even when I don’t have a camera.


I agree. Serendipity, finding a subject by chance is always, to me, an unexpected pleasure!

Happy Resurrection Day! In thanks and praise of the great sacrifice our Lord made on our behalf, may we truly reflect on the free gift of salvation, available to all, and the blessings each of us have received through our faith in Christ. Have a peaceful and thankful Easter today.

I absolutely love the capture of the rusty Ford. However, on first impression, the fountain makes it resemble an AWACS Ford! Maybe the new stealth armaments are coming out with a different type of camouflage?

As long as there are some of the nicest folks I have seen on the Internet on here it is certainly worth staying. You are always going to find some folks that take out their frustrations in life on folks especially when they can do it anonymously. I pity them but I am not going to let them take the joy away from me that I get from this site. You can't imagine how refreshing it is to find a site where most people are very helpful and very civil.


Well said...
