Just snapped a random picture of Tizzy grooming herself on the rear deck. This cat is a hoot!

Speaking about a happy cat, look at the smile on this one. Notice the claws on the pontoons.

Happy 4th of July. I'm just over here laughing at our previous owners from 73 floors up...

This image is not the 4th, but a celebration of the completion of the Arch renovation in 2016.

Those look way better than the ones I took last night!

Was browsing through my FB photos and came across the last time it 'properly' snowed here. I think this was 2015. One of the 3 horses was moved on as she had a right attitude problem (think kicking...it hurts!). She's now doing well elsewhere. They have 'big' horses, so she's not dominant in the herd.

Was in downtown Chicago at a play and this building was where we parked our car. Looked up and saw this - thought it was interesting. Used the iPhone 11 to catch this shot!

I was playing around last week and caught this image. Came out pretty decent I think!

Why'd he like your phone so much?

This is great. I love perspective shots like this.

This is legitimately scary for some reason.

How did you get your lightning image?

How did you get your lightning image?

30s exposure aimed in the general vicinity of where it was striking. Had to run for cover shortly after because it rained about as hard as I've ever seen it.

Still trying to figure out night photography, one of the struggles is how to get them in focus.

For my images I like having something in the foreground so I focus on that then turn off the auto focus or the camera gets "confused" trying to find something to focus on. If that doesn't work just focus on infinity. Or just play around and see what works for you. Same with anything at night like fireworks. Another point, when doing a long exposure, objects that move might be soft or out of focus due to the wind or other reasons - trees, people, etc

Thankfully we're photographers, not magicians.
