Winter pic from 2021. Amazed at how it is a "color" pic, but void of anything but greys.....

Great pictures!
I like the mud boot picture. I store mine like that when irrigating etc.

New to the group after lurking and learning for a while. Retired at the end of last month at 57 and so far, so good. I bought myself a nice retirement gift ( Leica Q2) and re-learning photography and was glad to find this thread. here are a few walk-about shots from the new hardware.

Great pics Jim! That train picture is stunning!

Thanks aja8888. the funny part is I spent 2 hours out in 9 degree weather taking pictures of trains at this spot and when the engine I was there for finally showed up, my fancy new camera battery was dead. this was with the iPhone.

Congratulations on everything, and nice eye for things to capture.

Best regards,

I guess that goes to show us how good those iPhone cameras are.

Nice pics CarreraJim and doneat54!

Went for a hike among the waterfalls in Starved Rock State Park in Illinois

I *think* this is Ronstar's waterfall from 4.5 yrs ago. Different season, different angle, pocket camera.

That's it! LaSalle Canyon - same as my left pic above (and my avatar). I took today's pics with my iPhone - too cold to manipulate a dslr.

Lots of people when you were there. I had the place to myself today.

I've only been there in the spring, but went to Hocking Hills SP in Ohio in winter.

Nice. I grew up in Chicago but it took me moving away and 55 years to finally visit Starved Rock. Very nice trip. My only complaint was the crowd, and for some reason, people on the trails were playing a lot of loud music with portable speakers. New trend?

Still totally worth it.

On the way there, we actually visited Hocking Hills first! So, nice to see both of these hidden Midwest gems. Don't let the word get out too far, or they'll get even more crowded.

Starved Rock is usually crowded in the summer, especially trails within a mile of the visitor center. Not sure about the loud music - I haven't experienced that.

I'll have to go to Hocking Hills some day. Looks very nice.

DrRoy has some great shots there.

 

[Freedom56]

Nice shots @Ronstar, @DrRoy, @Street, and others.

Photography is such a great hobby.

This was Juno Beach pier yesterday (1-28-22. It's a great place for fishing and surfing. I added a retro style surf soundtrack from Blue Wave Theory (surf band).

 

[Ronstar]

Another great video Freedom56! Great choice of audio too.

Went for a hike and ran into a plump cardinal.

Went for a hike and ran into a plump cardinal.

When I first read this I was expecting a photo more like this one:

 

[explanade]

That looks like something out of Angry Birds.

Is it fat or the feathers are really fluffed up?

I think it was fat. He moved around quite a bit and showed a large girth at every angle.

Gorgeous cardinal (the bird !)

Playing around with the new iPhone. Handheld, natural light. Too cold for outside pics, so I’m practicing on my new wood chisels.

Which model?

If the Pro or the Pro Max with the 3 cameras, check out the wide angle and the tele.

Very soft around the edges. Even the center isn't quite as sharp as the regular camera.

13pro. I haven't played with the wide angle or tele yet. True that this photo isn't as sharp as my dslr - especially dslr on tripod with a macro lens and focus stacking. But this photo is crisper in my apple photos library than it is in this post. Some clarity gets lost in the upload. At least it seems that way.

Nice photo, and I'm salivating over those beautiful chisels.
