gvallee Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 @WimBrutus’ reputation has been superceeded. 'Dominator' is it now. At 6.1m, he’s the biggest known Saltwater Crocodile in the world. He’s hyper aggressive. He attacked another croc right next to our boat, grabbing him by the tail. You feel very humbled by these monsters. We also learnt that crocodiles can retract their eyes in their eye sockets. The guide prodded one eye with a pole. The croc stayed perfectly still, not the least inconvenienced. They can also wait one year for their next meal. Respect! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 After a very busy week of assignment shoots in and around Washington DC, I had one on a rooftop near the U.S. Capitol building so I took advantage of the view. Some of the new apartment buildings have great terraces. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hyde Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I’ve uploaded a lot (for me) recently after a busy few months with the camera. Bits of all sorts really, some travel shots, a few festival shots, a few landscapes and a few old shots rescued with DxO Pure Raw 2… Edited June 25, 2022 by Steve Hyde 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Michael Ventura Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) A couple of weeks ago I was moving boxes around in my storage room, in my basement, I found an old cigar box full of a few hundred 120mm B&W negatives taken by my maternal grandfather, mostly of family. I am beyond thrilled! I have never seen the vast majority of these photos, many of my mother at various ages! I am about halfway through photo "scanning" the negatives. I set up a light table and have my Nikon on an arm, on a tripod. I shoot them with a macro lens and bring into Photoshop where I can invert the neg to a positive. My extended family are excited to see these photos. I made a gallery for all to see and download full rez photos. Here are a few from Egypt, where they lived in the 1940s. He was a U.S. government analyst (a code breaker). I have only uploaded a handful to Alamy (archival route), that I deemed suitable for stock. My mom riding a camel at Luxor King Farouk's royal procession for the Opening of Parliament in Cairo And then there was this gem taken in the late 1930s of tourists in Yellowstone National Park (USA), taking photos of a momma bear and her cubs. Absolutely crazy!! Edited June 28, 2022 by Michael Ventura 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Another cool photo that I scanned last night, from my grandfather's negatives, this one was 4x6 inches roll film. It is of a 1916 Pierce Arrow car at a service station. I was able to i.d. where it was taken but not the year, probably early 1920s. The sign in the background is of an old lumber mill, long gone, but in Pasadena, California. That is where my mother was born in 1923 (Pasadena, not the mill). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those where I knew the shot I wanted as soon as I saw that guy. I hung around behind him for some time until he stood back to look at the mural he was working on and got the image I was after. So often your patience isn’t rewarded but it all came together with that one 🙂 Edited July 1, 2022 by Steve Hyde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 So it came to pass that we were pushing our latest grandson around asleep in his buggy when we came across this artisan market in Heaton Mersey, Greater Manchester. It always pays to carry a camera ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
