I was sitting here going through some of my files, just looking at what I have captured over the last 8 months and I came across this photo...it was taken on an outing with my good friends, we had been together all day and being a person who does most everything alone I was getting a little edgy and needed a break from being with people, so I used the line, "Hey you guys keep going I'll catch up!" and I found this little cluster of trees and I ventured in and just sat down on the ground leaned back, closed my eyes and breathed, emptied my mind and just plain relaxed. After a few moments I opened my eyes and saw this shot and took it. When I got home a few days later, going through the photos I had taken, I came across this one and said to self, "I really like this, let's see what you can do with it!" and I played a very little bit with the windows photo processing on my computer, got a little frustrated and just slid the color slider down to no color and saved it. I seen it tonight and thought, "WOW! There is a wonderful capture of a time of solitude!" I looked at the picture info....this was my 275 shot I had taken with my Canon just 9 months ago....I'm now well over 10k....but I looked at this and the calm feeling that I had when I took it just flowed back into me... and of course I needed to share....thanks for allowing me to...

I was totally alone in 1946, standing on an ice-covered alpine lake so I could capture this view. I don't know how thick the ice was, but the air was frigid. The static electric discharge in the image apparently was produced when I advanced the film -- or maybe when the Compur shutter blades opened and closed for this one exposure. But I suddenly heard sounds and looked down to see thin spidery lines fanning out in the ice under my combat books. I was quite a few yards out from the shoreline, but I managed to carefully get back to the shore. I apologize for the 73-year-old negative's quality, but the scene was such a prime example of stunning solitude that I decided to share it with you. The site was Konigsee; today there are lake cruises there for tourists.

Nice shot RichardQ, thanks for sharing and telling the experience that happened. I think the static marks help this one. pg37

So I decided to take my "moment" shot and try some pp in paintshop….increased overall brightness, highlights and shadows...now there is a little more detail....and Simon I figured out how to add a border!

The second I just added a filter in the windows photos pp program...kind of like the depth in this one more...
cc please!


Nice Vicki set really like the 2nd one pg40

Gorgeous misty sunrise even though color not brilliant. Grandson and I each set up a tent down by water for tonight. This will be challenging for me but I think I’ve got things figured out. Surely hope so. Was only able to view a few pages. WOW is all I can say. These are iPhone edited in Snapseed app


Nice ones Pat like them both pg41

This one is a bit special. I submitted it to the County Calendar contest held every two years. It ismy son's village during the Christmas Holidays and entitled.....liberally translated to English ''The Time of Peace''. There will be an annual county show in October and the citizens will vote. Have entered this contest four times and have been chosen four times.....probably because they are not photographers LOL


Nice one Jim pg42
