Eating dinner out back while enjoying a nice, hazy sunset when I noticed these guys on track to drift by. Had to put down the fork and pick up a camera!

Saw a lightning bug crawling on the window and thought of a cool shot! Little guy was happy to fly away after.

There's something nice about walking around the woods on an overcast day after the rains. A bit calmer and I find myself paying more attention to little details like these guys.

 

Visiting a new park today and saw these two snakes wrapped around each other in the back of a dimly-lit case. Never know what you'll see in those little educational centers...

 

Walking the trails and this guy settled down right by me. Liked the colors but I ended up liking the details even more!

 

Interesting sunset tonight on the lake - reminded me of a black hole with an accretion disk and all the clouds swirling around it.

 

A harsh thunderstorm this afternoon gave way to a really nice sunset on the lake. I dug the lighting on these flowers - they really popped!

After a wild thunderstorm the sky cleared up really nicely and gave a beautiful sunset on the lake. I really liked how these flowers looked in that lighting.

Nice sunset out by the lake tonight - looked wildly different every few minutes!

 

Not actually taken in July but it's catchy! I went on a longish trip up to see snow for the first time around the holidays. When I came back home to South Florida, the heat was incredible and there was a wonderful blue sky juxtaposed with all of the Christmas trees everywhere. I liked how I could see myself in the ornament, too.

Thanks! Sony a7iv was used to shoot. The lens I'm rolling with for everything is the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM. Once I knew this hobby wasn't a phase, I chose to go with one quality fast prime to hone my composition and settings with. Barring the occasional shot I can't get due to a lack of zoom, I really love what this combo has been doing for me!

For processing with HDR, I now find myself going to Luminar for the initial merge and then splitting contrast for shadows / mids / highlights there. Then I take everything else to Lightroom.

Sounds great - good luck!

Certainly striking, and you still get a good sense of the size from that one row

This is a nice idea! Is this for any sort of specific type of editing techniques or just anything goes?

Yeesh - your other post said 4 people to carry? How heavy is that thing?!

Not much experience but:

What I liked - visual quality and lighting with that gradient into darkness. Tattoo on the finger is interesting and I felt naturally drawn to it.

I was having a tough time getting a certain emotion or vibe at a glance from the expression. Felt cropped in a bit tight for me personally.

I've been using a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 for probably 13 years now. I'd rave about them all day if I could, but they have such a great soundstage and also have let me dabble into a lot of different random creator hobbies because they are a great reference for mixing. Comfortable to wear for hours and no phyiscal / listening fatigue.

There is a decent aftermarket available for replacement ear pads, cables, etc. as well and I was able to refresh various bits from constant daily wear over the years at a low cost. I've seen the newer variants and just can't seem to justify moving away from these yet. If you can get a used pair in good condition then I think the price point is incredible.

Unpopular opinion - I think there's almost no audible difference between DACs once they are shielded properly. I used to route through a Schiit Bifrost Multibit into a Valhalla 2 with some rolled tubes but now I basically do everything through one Scarlett Focusrite 18i20. There is a difference in the initial volume the amp would push out and the distortion from the tubes, but there's no way I could describe any difference between the two DACs at the same volume and it is way more convenient to have it all in one place. Yes, I have the Thriller SACD ; ).
