Before I take them to the thrift shop... let me tinker.
Nice pic! Love the color and DOF of the image.
I am taking a few online photography courses. My assignment, in one of my courses, was "Portraiture" photography. Taking photos from different focal lengths and angles, also, not just taking a picture of the person, but setting the tone, mood and telling a story. Using creative thinking when taking portraits, and to tell the viewer something about the subject. I have the best son a mom could ask for, to make me happy, he agreed to be my model. So I drug him all over town and took pics. Here are a few. I think I did pretty good on the composition? Let me know. I know there are a lot more things I need to learn, and I am aware that I can do better on getting sharper images. Any constructive advice is appreciated. I want to improve my skills. I love photography, and want to get better. Also, the class focused on getting out of "auto" mode. I use auto very little, so all pics were shot in manual mode. I haven't learned it all. I forget to change certain settings when I change scenes. But I am getting there. Thanks in advance for your comments. "T"

Anyone know the name of the building shown as background through the window of the early evening Fox News TV network? That has been puzzling my wife and me for some time now. It is beautifully decorated at the current time with holiday lights and wreaths. Thanks for any help.

It is in and is part of Rockefeller Center. Located on 48th and 6th. there are so many buildings there and I have been so many times, but can't remember them all. I know NBC studios, is near by. Some of the programs are in other locations too. I know some are in DC, and you can see the capital in the background. What segment isit? that might help to narrow it down for you. Hope this helps!
Great challenge Lorima! Lots of beautiful bird photos. Wow, you guys are really talented. Bird shots, to me, are very hard. They just want pose for me. LOL! Thanks for the comments on my photo. I started out commenting on each post, but past two days got busy for me. So I came in this evening and looked at each and every one of them. I was very impressed. Hope everyone has enjoyed a nice weekend. And to all the Veterans on UHH, I appreciate your service to this great country of ours!

We had a 'party' here at the Manor to celebrate Veteran's Day. Each Vet told about their time in the service. Coffee and donuts were served. We sang patriotic songs and posed for pictures with Old Glory. I hope you enjoy these and if you have pictures of how you celebrated the day, I'd love to see them. I was the only woman Vet. at the celebration. I served during WW11 in 1943 for 2 years. Boot Camp was at Camp Lejeune, N.C. My first duty station was Marine Corps Base, San Diego in the Chaplain's Office. I was asked what I remembered most and I said many things but one was meeting my husband.
I shoulda taken a picture of the donuts and coffee. 😊

stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." These are shots of the National Postal Museum in DC, directly across the street from Union Station. You enter level 2 and go down to level 1 which has a huge glass covered atrium surrounded by more exhibits. This building houses a massive collection of stamps and postal memorabilia as well as the ways and means of delivering mail throughout our nation's history.

Thanks Carol, for the tour, you did an amazing job of allowing us a glimpse inside. I was just in DC, this past summer, for the first time. I only had a day, to see the city. I was attending my nieces wedding in Maryland, and could only take a day to go to DC. I did the typical sight seeing tour, so as not to miss the "main" monuments historical buildings, White House, and Arlington National Cemetery. I can't wait to go back again. It is a fascinating and beautiful city, with so much history. Glad I got to see another little part of it, through your lens.

We had a cardinal doing that this summer - he loved the side mirror on our car. Then, one day we came home to find our cat sitting by the front door surrounded by red feathers - oh, well.....
Oh no!! I have a cat, so I understand!
