If you would like, Please click on the picture, doing so will link you to the gallery page where the shot can be seen in higher resolution and full page. Thanks for viewing and Have A Blessed Day !!!

This was a stylish old girl. Any guesses at year & make.
It was my parents car back in my young days, I had the use of it when they upgraded.
It towed a heavy caravan across Australia & back, maybe twice.


Not sure but maybe a '51 or '52 Ford.

I post in a couple of forums. I show images, offer insights into how I got the image, and always try to help others. I don't say bad things about people, I ignore many comments that do bother me in one way or another, and I've always tried to say things in a manner that does not imply anything negative or critical. I realized a long time ago that we are all different and we all think very differently and I like those differences for the most part. I posted something in a forum and someone responded and then I responded back. Nothing in the conversation, either his comments or mine, were offensive in any way from my point of view. The moderator of the forum, who is a very nice person, sent me a private email saying that a part of what I put in my response was cut out by the moderator because the moderator felt/believed/thought it was not "friendly, supportive conversation."

The topic was about SOOC to some degree, although not the original post. The sentence below was written by one of the posters, and I believed it was actually written in jest but I responded, his post said, "Realize you are upsetting the people who say that the SOOC is a gift from god and it is "My Style."

My response was "In reality the only image straight out of the camera (for the most part) would be a RAW file, not a JPEG file. As we all know, a JPEG is a processed file, letting the camera make all the decisions, so, a camera is the artist for a JPEG file, not the photographer. And any "style" that may be involved can be contributed to the camera, not the photographer." Part of that response included the words, which were cut out by the moderator, "A rational, thinking individual would know this." I meant the sentence not as a criticism of anyone but as a reference to rational, linear thought processes using science, i.e. RAW is not processed but JPEG is processed so only RAW can actually be SOOC [and, in fact, it is often referred to as a negative], even though there is a belief that SOOC applies to JPEG. I had no ill intent nor was I trying to "put anyone down" in anyway.

The moderator's response to me was this: "Here we are again, Connie, chatting about topic content. I deleted a sentence in your reply to --: A rational, thinking individual would know this.

Please remember that -- Forum is about friendly, supportive conversations. Let's please leave criticism of the great unwashed to main discussion forum.

Thanks much!"

I am stunned that this person would reply in this way, "criticism of the great unwashed" and I have no idea at all what the person means by that. I am also insulted to some degree that this person would assume that I would say something offensive. I can only guess that saying the words "rational" and "thinking individual" were found to be offensive words by the moderator. Obviously the moderator saw those two words and interpolated them to his/her way of thinking, her thinking had absolutely no place in my mind.

What is the role of a forum moderator? To cut out things they don't like, don't agree with, or something THEY think is bad or wrong in some way? How far does a moderator go? I can see a moderator taking down a vile, ranting post as that would be obviously hurtful. But after that, what are the guidelines? Are we now a society that believes we can only say things one way and there is no room for saying something another way? I can also see a moderator posting something in the forum that says, in essence, "hey, cool it." And I've seen that before and that does seem to be needed at times. This actually reminds me of the discussions going on now with Amazon and Facebook and perhaps other sites. I absolutely agree that our conversations should be civil and inclusive and that no one has the right to berate, belittle, or generally snarl at others but should all of our words now be formed by the moderator or some "thought police" type person?

I have to admit I am more than a little perplexed by the email I got. Obviously I won't be posting in that particular forum anymore (and I really did like the forum and have learned a few things in it) as I don't care for that type of extreme policing. Your thoughts on this?

I have heard worse on this site. People need to quit being offended by everything. What happened to thick skin?

I don't generally take pictures of flowers. I don't generally do close-up photography. I don't generally post images of things I don't generally photograph. I don't generally post a series of images... so, here goes!

I took the opportunity to photograph some subjects in my wife Linda's garden. She has worked very hard on it this year, and has made our little homestead an explosion of color and texture. I thought the lighting was pretty good in the later afternoon, so I went out and caught a few of her flowers. Enjoy! And any suggestions as to how I might improve in this area of photography would be most appreciated!

I'm Craig. I began shooting with a SLR camera back in the early 80's when dating my wife (we both had cameras and photo outings were a great dating opportunity). I stopped shooting after a few years - as a young couple starting out, our budget just couldn't support the cost of film and developing.

Around 2008 I bought a DSLR and began shooting again. I photographed everything from flowers and bugs to my sons at their lacrosse games. I bought a motorcycle in 2013 and began taking trips. Unfortunately, I didn't feel comfortable packing my DSLR so my iPhone became my go-to (and the DSLR went on the self).

Fast forward to the fall of 2019 I was reflecting on the things I've enjoyed over the years and realized I needed to get back to using a DSLR. The iPhone no longer held my interest and there wasn't much challenge. I realized I enjoy the feel of a DSLR and being more connected with my gear; to me, it feels more like what photography is all about and I wasn't able to get that from the iPhone.

I now shoot with a Canon EOS RP and I love it. This time around I am committed to developing all areas in my journey as a photographer - from planning a shoot, to deciding what settings to use on location, to working with filters, to post-production, to printing.

Friday I drove up to the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon to check on the state of Albion Basin, the site of a great wildflower bloom every summer. We still have 2 to 4 weeks because the snow has not melted in the valley crease. I decided to stop on the way down to take some landscape shots (I will post these later).

I then discovered that the remaining snow was yielding a great downhill flow. The conditions were poor because it was mid-day. Many of my water shots were blown out (probably should have had a polarized filter).

The ones that I was able to salvage are attached to give an idea of the results of the continuing thaw.

Downloads are best to see in the shadows.

I really like the sense of motion in the water. You didn't stop the motion, but you didn't blur it either. Excellent photos.

Strange day - beautiful sun then three or four cloudbursts in the course of the day. Now, moving into late afternoon some interesting cloud masses. DF and AF S Nikkor 18-35 - 3.5 4.5 G
The DF does this kind of thing exceptionally well, IMO.


Beautiful photo's and an enviable yard.

I posted some of these the other day, but they disappeared from the photo gallery almost right away, so I thought I would repost them. Sorry if you have already seen them.

Drove up to Milton, Pa. today with my wife to order a cap from the Leer Factory Outlet for my new truck. On the way back, at the suggestion I decided to get a few shots of the Harrisburg skyline. Hope you enjoy.
