I constantly struggle to come up with what to shoot. Does it come randomly to you? Or do you plan and brainstorm and imagine the final picture first and then arrange to make it happen?

Do you shoot what you happened to see? Or do you create your shots?


All of the above.

There are times I plan well ahead, like this one which I waited for months to accomplish:

https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-757095-1.html

There are spur of the moments things when I get bored
There times that I just go take a hike and shoot what I come across with
There are times I see things that is not really there & I need to edit the image to fit my vision:
And also times that I squeeze out what I can from a bland scene

It's a hobby. I do it for fun. I get inspirations in everything and everywhere. No style or nothing holds me back.

If it sounds like a provocative question, it was intentional.

A discussion took place recently on another thread that got me thinking about it. So I did some comparison's using a 24MP A7 III and a 45.7MP Z7 using each camera's 85mm f/1.8 lens (at f/2.8). Those lens resolutions are very close according to DXOMARK.

I viewed the results on a 2k (1920x1080, about 2MP) and 4k (3840x2160, about 8MP) monitor and couldn't tell them apart.

I printed the original full-size images on 8.5x11 Red River UltraPro Satin paper at their best settings. I still could not tell them apart.

Then I exported each image at a width of 1920 and 3840 pixels as well as at their full resolution. They will be attached to the next post.

The only time I could tell them apart was at the full resolution pixel peeped at 100%. But the only way anyone can see that is on a monitor where the magnified image is way too big to fit the screen.

There is a message here and some of you aren't going to be happy with it.

IMHO, aside from those who compare and want the bigger d*cks that others, the only person who is bothered by resolution and sharpness are those that process/edit images.
Those that are purely into taking pictures and do not process/edit, can shoot anything any day and be happy even with potato cam & jpegs.

There are many images here but some are from travel to Ireland and others from local area also. Really a sample of my photography. I like all photography and try not to limit myself in one genre of photography - after all variety is the spice of life.

The ship was apparently going at a normal speed for that area. But you know better?


As i've said beforehand, My judgement was just based on the security video they have shown, and I could be wrong. I'm just rooting for a good investigation to show what really happened.
Hopefully they also make changes that similar events would be prevented.

As for the speed, every port and waterways have their own allowed speed limits. The news said the ship was doing 8knots, which might be within the recomended speed for that area in the best condition. Generally, depending on obsatacles and traffic, the recommended speed is 6knots or slower. They were moving at night & crossing a bridge, not exactly the best conditions. Common sense says they should have slowed down. Then maybe, the end would have been different.

It wasn’t heading for the pillar the whole time. It only hit the pillar because it lost power and lost control.


It looks to me that way but I may be mistaken. One thing I know, the inertia of that massive ship will keep it going to the direction it was heading to unless a really strong force would move it another way. I do not think the wind was not that strong on that night to veer the ship suddenly to the pillar if that is what happened. Besides, the rudder will still work if the ship is moving forward, so a full loss of control only happens when they are adrift. A good investigation will hopefully find the truth.

I'm no stranger to boats. But I've never seen one like this. It's obviously a special-purpose boat....the purpose for this rig is alien to me.

In one video I saw, it appeared that the ship went black just before it struck the bridge... maybe it lost power? Also, maybe it's just my old eyes, but it appeared to me that there was no way that ship would clear the bridge anyway, because of the ship's height.


I was watching the security video published last night. The ship did lost light and smoke for about a second just before it hit the bridge.
But was heading for the pillar the whole time, maybe a full 10 minutes before impact, and was moving very fast for such a small navigation space at night.
That bridge and pillars should be clearly marked on their navigation tools and the area would be time to carefully pilot. If my bells are correct, it was intentional.

Your post reminded me of the TV series "Seventh Heaven" some years back, which I liked very much.
It was a family good moral show, something akin to the "Little house on the Prairie".

Which do you like?


Just an idea ha ha
A quick sketch and needs some cleanup.
