Have a good winter. Take some pics, post them up, even if there is no Darla involved.

 

Rocky, awesome answer, way more than I expected, but I love it. I have a Sony A6000 with two stock lenses and would like to get better with it. I think I should start looking at a community college course in basic DSLR/Mirrorless photography along with a PhotoShop.

 

Thats a great idea.... there is no substitute for going and and shooting images.... and Photoshop is a real game changer... once you start to explore it you realize that you are barley scratching the surface so you get deeper and deeper into it... and after working on a 17 layer 2 GBT image for what seems like a few hours, you go upstairs to find out that your wife left, she sold all the furniture and rented the house out to a family from Kurdistan.... because it hasn't been two hours.... it has been two months.... of course, you have these to show for your new found addiction....


We will keep a light on for you...

I know zero about photography. I took this with my iPhone5. I got lucky with the lighting

 

Very nice.... and luck is always part of it.

 

New piece of Iron I added to the stable today.... gave my Ram 1500 to my #1.... this will be my main ride ... until it’s not anymore....

I have joined “The Realm Of Soccer Mom”....

 

Great essay on the photography.
I like the idea of ‘use the iPhone’ for online platforms and the dslr for offline printing.
up until this past spring I only ever had the phone to use... but with our cross country trip in spring, decided it was worthy of using a ‘proper’camera... bought the kit, took a photography workshop and started snapping.
literally ALL of my photos, until very recently, are online... but I’ve now started to print some... and I can honestly say, it certainly makes you focus on what is to be printed. ‘Scuse the pun.

digital, far too easy to rack up the number of photos taken and kept... but look to print them, and suddenly you are looking ruthlessly at each capture prior to sending to print. (A project of mine this company not fall is putting together a photo book - never done one before, so I’m looking forward to it.)

i use snapseed for all of my mobile photos... fabulous app.

i use Lightroom for my Nikon photos, and on rare occasions will even use snapseed after that to make some finishing touches.

you've given me food for thought Rocky... cheers matey.

stay well,
Steve.

 

Rocky, if you get back to Vernal you should stop and visit with Randy Fullbright a friend and artist. https://www.randyfullbright.com/

He is often referred to as "our " Ansel Adams. His photography of Dinosaur National Monument is breathtaking. I've joined him on a few hikes and he will go places carrying all his equipment I won't go empty handed.
