Thanks, all, for the suggestions. My suggestion: use common and frequently used abbreviations in your entries, but consider spelling out uncommon ones or ones specific to a particular brand.
These colors provided me an instant flashback. Very nice. Would love to see others like this one.
Some of our closest relatives and deserving of our appreciation.
I continue to really enjoy UHH almost every day, but sometimes being kind of old and strangely resistant to learning, here is something to consider. Could UHH create an abbreviation section that we could all add to? Sometimes UHH entries have enough abbreviations unknown to me that I cannot understand the point being made. An alphabetized, simple glossary would help me and maybe others. If such a thing already exists, please do let me know, but between general photography terminology and brand model names, etc., I could use a hand.
Could that last one be a Whimbrel and not a curlew?
I am challenged by the idea of making an image that would result in viewers have the same emotions I feel in seeing the subject in real life.
Terrific photos. When my father was young, this species was very hard to find because of deforestation. He told me this while watching a pair on our back yard. They are now common and my father has been gone for fifty years. Everything changes.
This is just an observation and I mean no offense in posting it. A very nice feature of UHH is the help provided among us. A primary request is for information about good photo locations during travel to areas we do not know well. In some cases - visitation changes at Antelope Canyon comes to mind - the info is very valuable and makes the difference between success and failure. However, in many places, getting off the beaten track might get you the more interesting, less massively photographed venues. So, take a place like Monument Valley. It takes a special eye and some independent exploring to get unusual or unique shots...and we see both on UHH: the good and the mundane. Anyway, my point is that I like everything I see on UHH, but especially learn and enjoy shots from the places less traveled.
Okay, some people like paper manuals and some people don’t. Some people who prefer computer manuals like to complain that those who like paper manuals are deficient in various ways. Got it, thanks. I don’t like the on-line life and minimize my time on computers, and I also rarely carry a phone. Call people like me what you like. Those who don’t like to go on-line for everything have heard from you: we must deal with this new world. Since there is no option here, okay. Let’s move on.
All superb, especially the third.
No one reads car manuals either...until there is a problem. I’ve been glad to have manuals for cars and wish I had one for my new Sony 99. Alas, no.
