saturn Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 One of the many weird things I like to do is take pictures of cloud formations, pretty sunsets, full moons etc. Most are taken with my phone. I don't have any real knowledge or talent in photography. I just point and click. I figured I'd post a few here and maybe some others will want to post their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Pretty good result from that phone Saturn. Moon shots with a 35mm are tricky. Often for some reason, a full moon that fills your viewfinder still results in a pic of the moon that looks smaller than a shirt button. As I don't own a digital camera, and refuse to take photos with a phone( since I still use an old small flip phone) so I don't know if any of them have a "polarizing" option. That would make the cloud formations "pop" in any of those shots. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Is that house on the left really that unlevel? Or was this shot with some kind of "fisheye" option(or lens)? Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Whitefang, With non-rectilinear wide lenses, unless the plane of the lens is parallel to the horizon, distortion of this type results.

All houses are level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yeah, I figured it was an aberration of the device used to capture the image. I used to get a similar effect using a "fisheye" lens. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 I can't claim credit for this photo. It was taken a street over from our house by one of our neighbors and posted on FB. I just screen shotted it and cropped the FB stuff out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Looks pretty gruesome. But could just be the angle. What's going on there anyway? Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing up in Arkansas, we would have called that a squall line. That would’ve meant a tornado was likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) This AM. Rare Southern California rain last night. Almost finished house. I'll take it as a sign hopefully of good things to come. Here's another. I was sleeping this AM and Vanessa came running in after putting the dogs in the pen screaming get up, get up, grab your camera!! I don't think I have ever seen a complete rainbow in So. California before. Edited October 5, 2021 by Tman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Amazing! I've saved that one. I like the bit in the shade on the left, is that on your property? You've got rainbows and house is looking good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Yeah, too bad. What I mean is, going by that photo, it would appear the pot of gold wasn't on your property. Nice shot though. If I were you, I'd get an 8x10 print of it and frame it for the wall. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
