Betty LaRue Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 On 14/11/2019 at 09:03, Bill Brooks said: About 5 KM from home. November 7 and an early snowfall when the last of the autumn leaves are still on some trees. A rare occurrence for Toronto, as first snowfalls are usually not as early as they were this year. The winter weather is ahead of the game in the US too, Bill. We’ve already set records for lows here in Kansas. 9 degrees F In November, and a dusting of snow in late October. Missed out on a lot of fall color because leaves turned brown after such a hard sustained freeze. I’m not looking forward to the rest of winter. I think it’s about 126 days until spring! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) The last of the tiny Gray Hairstreak butterflies before the deep freeze hit. Taken with the Fujifilm 80mm macro. Last weekend, Sunday, a balmy 70F. That night a bitter cold front came through, dropping temps to 23F for Monday, 9F Monday night. Fuji X-T2, 18-135 lens.

Ed Rooney Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) That's beautiful, Bill. I don't envy you that hard, Canadian winter though. I bought me a 13.5 tog duvet in case any of that weather comes across the Irish Sea. Edited November 15, 2019 by Ed Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizBrown Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I went back and found some that I hadn't put in my portfolio just after I took them. They either weren't obvious at the time or I needed to tweak them in Photoshop or Lightroom. Women watching a performance of Danza de los Voladores in Xochimilco, Mexico City. Women making rosquillos in Jinotega, Nicaragua. I did a series called "Made in Jinotega" to show various activities in my adopted town. Weekend crowd on Avenida Madero in Mexico City's Historic District. Really liked Mexico City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blinking Eye Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 One thing I am enjoying from this process is researching photos in order to tag them. Here, I learned the difference between chemtrails and contrails. Chemtrails is a conspiracy theory that the government showers the earth with chemicals, among other things, when these lines in the sky appear, which is impossible and disproven by science and fact. Contrails is short for "condensation trails" which is what these are: Ice crystals created by water and sediment released as exhaust. They can however modify weather and cloud patterns and are scientifically named "homomutatus", meaning human-made clouds. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your "Made in Jinotega" idea. BTW, these three images look vertically stretched. Wonder why that is.

Marianne Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I had fun playing with this one (I uploaded the original and another modified version too): As Betty mentioned, fall colors this year haven't been great due to going from a warm September with green leaves, to such cold that many leaves went from green to brown. So, I figured it behooved me to process and upload some from the past. This is one from last year: A few from a cute little town on the Hudson River called Cold Spring: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working in Firefox and noticed this more with some earlier photos dragged and dropped into the contests. The contest ones were enlarged; these weren't. Not sure why. I couldn't drag and drop when I used Safari, haven't tried it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an easy test: in the Reply box, there's a weird little icon on the right of the row of buttons. It looks like a search button, but it's the preview button. If you cycle through the 3 formats and your image doesn't stretch, you've picked the right one. If it does stretch/shrink/deforms, try view image and drag from there. This one is from the view image page: (hold the shift key while right clicking) And this is from the zoom page: Now if you make your window smaller or just narrower, the second image will distort. The first one will just become smaller. wim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlmphotog Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 A great location with a terrible keyword name of Miami Lake... I'm sure I'm getting lots of confused search results with this image. Miami Lake, Talkeetna Mountains, Matanuska-Susitna, Alaska, USA A friend has a remote off-grid cabin not to far from Miami Lake that I was able to spend a week at in September. Only access during spring/summer/fall is by the last flag-stop rail service in the USA. You meet the Alaska Railroad Hurricane Turn passenger train in Talkeetna or Hurricane (another keyword confuser) were you load up your gear, food and drink then the train will stop at the requested mile maker where you unload all your stuff. A wave goodby to the train then a mile hike with a heavy backpack stuffed with provisions up to the cabin. Great fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Those are beautiful images. Your story reminded me of an all-woman fishing trip I took to the boundary waters in Minnesota. First I drove to Wisconsin alone from Oklahoma. I met up with my friend, then the rest of the women. We drove to a stopping place in Minnesota, and portaged backpacks, tents and canoes to the water. 8 of us. 4 canoes. We’d paddle down a stream, come to mud, portage 50-100 yards again to deeper water. More than once. Came out on a big lake, and paddled to an island where we camped. We applied for a permit 6 months in advance. We had a contest, and I caught the most fish, and the biggest. All of those women were locals, and I was from Oklahoma. I’d never fished for pike and that other one with teeth in my life. Everyone but my best friend glared at me. They couldn’t figure out how a woman who put makeup on when she crawled out of the tent could fish like that. 😂 My friend and I had never been in a canoe, so we bounced from one bank to the next in the stream. I laughed until I cried. Betty Edited November 17, 2019 by Betty LaRue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pulled up to shore and camped at night, but paddled all day. I perfected my loon call. Unforgettable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a bird person, and the loons were thrilling. The water was black from rotting leave fragments and such stuff that was suspended in the otherwise clear water. There was a crippled bear that swam from island to island. He didn’t visit us but we had to put all food, even chewing gum and breath mints in a bag hung high in a tree. I had a hard time falling asleep in my tent for listening for snuffling! 😁 The only bad thing was the no-see-ums, who relentlessly ignored my deet spray and bit me through my clothes. All blood-sucking insects think I’m candy. My sister always said the one way for her to not be bitten was to hang out by me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
