MizBrown Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 One from the Panasonic GF1 which I took years ago: Some families in Nicaragua don't just stick their dead in the ground. Family mausoleum, taken in the dry season. Another of the Jinotega Municipal Cemetario showing more of the hills around town. At the top of the mountain is a cross and since this photo was made, a mirador. Walking up to Peña de la Cruz is a common hike for tourists and locals, but there is a road on the back of the mountain. Some people live uphill from the cemetery and give directions on how to get to the cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ashmore Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) When someone gives your wife a bunch of roses, obviously they have to be photographed! My son drew a self-portrait... I photographed it and decided to upload because you never know.... My son recorded a song for our church... so of course, had to take a photo!

Mr Standfast Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) The sun shone, cottages made nice patterns. Be rude not to take a picture. Edited December 21, 2020 by Mr Standfast 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blinking Eye Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) These are some of the first pictures I took with my digital camera. I'm looking at some earlier photos more closely and uploading a few. Ocean Beach, San Francisco. The Cliff House in the back just announced its closure after 157 years.

Curious as this is 2d art, wouldn't you require some "context" around, I assume the artist won't sue you, but you never know.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even clicked 'yes' to the property question and 'yes' to having a release in AIM. I'd like to think that a little bit of common sense applies too. And I guess this is a little akin to uploading vector graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizBrown Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 This one isn't showing up as on sale yet, or in my blue numbers, but it's one I took in rural Virginia before I left the US, and the only thing I had of the original shot on film was a smallish scan. Massaged it, enlarged it in Photoshop, wondering about the cars as modern technological ghosts against an 18th Century house, and sent it in to Alamy and then researched and found that the house had quite a past and was now an event hotel. The addition on the right is 20th century. And a window was probably cemented over on what's now a bathroom. Hillsboro, Virginia, national historical district expansion area. At one time in the 19th Century, the house's stone was stuccoed over and a hundred years later removed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I uploaded some of my own skies and have to say the sky replacement tool really saved this image taken on a gray soggy day - nothing like spending a week at the beach to take photos and having it rain or drizzle nearly every day. Gray skies do not sell travel scenics so gotta love this new tool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John may indeed have on, but no, a large, very hot frying pan, followed by topping and a go under a hot grill does the job. Been doing it every Friday since you-know-when.

Allan No, it doesn't look like the frying pan shape. But you need to cook the base through quite quickly before the topping goes on. Perhaps he grills it and flips it over. More than one way, etc.,etc. Edited December 23, 2020 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I've had my cooking skills questioned on the forum! The pizza in the pic was supermarket-bought; the best thing about it was the picture on the box... I also cook pizza from scratch, and enjoy making the dough. I use a wine bottle to roll it out, which gives me an excuse to empty the bottle first. My home-made pizzas taste great, and a regular oven is fine. Just don't leave them in too long... or they'll end up like my pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to roll out, but then tried just, well, kinda prodding and shoving it into a circle- the back of the hand Neapolitan thing is for steelier-eyed missile men than me- and you maintain some more of the air and a thicker base that way compared with rolling. You just have to try not to poke holes in it. I have decided that circularity is over-rated About 3 or 4 minutes in the pan, then top, then 3 or 4 under the hot grill. Chorizo, olives, cheese, a bit of chopped capsicum...mmm....never varies, neither of us wants it to.
