The raindrops on the water look a bit different in the two latest pictures.
Nice raindrops. They made me realize that I usually think that if it is raining that is the time not to take pictures and so I miss some interesting views on the world.
Well, I don't have a camera so I miss capturing all the view on the world.
They're different raindrops. Not the same drops falling again, that may be what had you confused. :-0Quote:

Hammock on beach
Yes, I was aware the drops are not the same in the two pics. Looks like a shower might be in the offing in the hammock picture.
I'm sure we guessed as much. Would you wish to pursue the matter of what it was that looked different in the raindrops of the two photos?Quote:

Fantastic images North Star and Tony, a welcome sedative after a hard day at work.
Every one of your shots, Tony, I feel myself transported there, and feel the warm slow rhythm of a Caribbean island. Whenever I used to arrive in San Juan, PR, I immediately was taken over by it. Now I'm wondering if I shall be able to do so again, because apparently PR, formerly as safe as houses, is awash in gang violence and astronomical homicide numbers.
In one it is raining harder than the other.
Ah yes, that's true.Quote:

And another day

I notice the pondness of the pond.
You've been pondering about that, have you?Quote:

That is an interesting perspective on darkness, North Star.
Don't get ponderous, North Star.Quote:

P.S. I love that staircase photo, as with all your "studies in darkness." I bet all the goth chicks dig you.

I don't want goth chicks digging anything for me, thankyouverymuch ;)
That makes one of us. I used to love me some goth chicks fierce. As for my reference, ain't you the guy who posts all them black and white shots featuring shadows, light and darkness? Sure y'are. And don't think I didn't recognize the Ponderosa, you pondweed. :-0Quote:

There's no denying that my photography is steeped in Romanticism. I tend to forget that not everyone thinks of that stuff as so elemental to photography. Some evidence from the beginning of my serious photography hobby.Quote:

It's been rough recently.
Or perhaps pundering?
Good picture of Smiths Cove. Long Exposure, that must have taken quite a bit of experimenting. Great result.

That's it.Quote:

That's because the whole image is shaken, and not just the bottom. The flowers are closer so the movement is more obvious than in the out-of-focus curtain in the back.Quote:

Well, he says that's how he did it, but I think we all know he farted while focusing, then covered up the incident by pretending he'd done it deliberately, using some supposed artsy technique called "shaking the camera." I'll bet you shook the camera, after three cans of beans.Quote:

But yes, Tyrion revealed my secret technique.

It's not exactly a secret technique, although I had never read anything about it before just now - I didn't even know what it was called.. zoom burst, apparently. It's a nice trick, but it's hard to do anything interesting with it. Here's an earlier example of the technique.
