Dan T. Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I took this one last week from the deck of our rental house on the Outer Banks. It was sunset, looking westward over Currituck Sound, with the thunderstorm rolling in. Edited August 18, 2019 by Dan T. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) It was also a pulse shot so the lightning bolt strikes and flashes. It it was a great week for weather. Plenty of sun, but also a couple of really cool and cinematic thunderstorms that rolled in. I got a couple videos of waterspouts that formed just offshore one afternoon. I’ll see if I can figure out how to post one. Edited August 16, 2019 by Dan T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I didn't take this, but when I was in Grand Cayman this past March my son and I were playing at the shore as the sun was setting, and there was this older couple probably early 50's sitting down enjoying the sunset, and the lady came up to me and said she was snapping pictures of the sunset and caught this picture of my son and I and thought that we would like it. So she just airdropped it to me right there and then. This is one of my favorite pics of my son and I. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 This is one of mine taken in August 2015 at Lake Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes Park, a nearby campground. Such a beautiful sunset and wild flowers in the foreground. Taken with my cell phone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm no photo buff..but I've always like Peter Lik's stuff that we always look at in his Lahaina store in Maui. Stuff like this (cliffs of Kauai). Here's a shot or two from Maui that I took with my crappy camera phone last year. Sunset at our condo in Kaanapali. Secret Cove Beach in Makena. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Two of my favorite photographers are Roy DeCarava and Fan Ho. They have a talent for composition I only wish I could achieve. Fan Ho: × DeCarava: A few of my own that I took...not sure if I posted these before. Oh well lol... I recently discovered that "somberscapes" is an instagram genre of photography and that I had been taking a lot of photos of somberscapes without realizing it: Edited August 17, 2019 by Califan007 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 One more I took recently with my phone. Again, geography makes the photo. Taken nearby from the parking lot of the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito. The fog was cooperative that day in getting my favorite type of picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I like growing parsley both because it's nice to have it to cook with and it attracts beaucoup black swallowtail butterflies. After watching the wasps suck the caterpillars down like Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti, I saved one and have been raising it in a terrarium. Henry (soon to be Henrietta) started his chrysalis last night. Very cool endeavor.

There is a family of kestrels that lives in my neighborhood and hunts the field behind my house for lizards and grasshoppers and such. Ours are much plainer being desert birds. Got this shot of one hovering over my backyard in the wind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
