More night shots from my business trip to Austin, TX at the top of the W hotel/resort. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1859/42707273810_a9861924a1_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1900/44466508412_3ff9d5e110_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1885/42707274160_9282393fdd_z.jpg https://farm2.stat...

I am so with you on flash! I never feel like I get good results with it, and I'm not motivated to mess with indirect lighting and really get into the weeds of how to make that work without a flash that accommodates that sort of thing well, like your GF-1. Most of my photos are taken outside and are...

Love the depth of color in the shot.

zx...you are certainly all black & white in your life :D I hope your views are not that way :!: :lol: :mrgreen: Seriously...you've got some talent. Sketches are beautiful! Beautiful ladies as well. So are the "girls on wheels". Last pic in motion :arrow: pretty sexy. Used to attend mo...

Very cool. I'll have to look at phone camera quality the next time I replace my phone. The Orpheus photo was taken with my old Nikon D90. I later moved to a Fuji mirrorless X-T10 camera, because it's more compact and lighter weight, and it also seems to take slightly better low-light photos. I want...

Where my B/W photo inspirations come from....back when I spent time doing graphite sketches: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1894/44422214922_8562cfdbf4_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1874/43753806354_bbb451ea6b_z.jpg These are the girls in my life other than my daughter (and of course mom): ht...

zx10guy, I'm really curious what type of phone you have now! Those are great low-light photos from a cell phone camera. Here's one I took on 4th of July 2014, of Orpheus (with his lyre and strategically placed fig leaf) on the grounds of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. https://farm4.staticflic...

Peanut, Thank you. The funny thing is all of these pics were taken with my Samsung S8 phone. I do have a very good, decent digital camera with Leica lenses. I haven't mastered the various settings to capture the same look I've been able to achieve on my phone with minimal tweaking. OMG...where does ...

Some photos from last Christmas: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1854/42625211360_57deea7295_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1877/30566187268_0a67b68480_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1884/42625213360_ddaccca8f3_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1885/30566188748_903dd7cd33_z.jpg https:/...

Thank you stu, peanut, and BS. I've lately been on a photography kick due to what looks like the end of my marriage. I find capturing things I run into during the course of my day a form of therapy. I still look back at the various pictures I've taken over the past year and still remember the feelin...

I don't know about false positives but CEA is a very useful alarm for a range of cancers. Last year over an 8 month period my CEA went from 4 to 6.2. My onc at the time sent me off for a PET scan. Result after an EBUS biopsy was Stage 3A NSCLung Cancer. I am now in remission from this but reflect t...

So far haven't found anyone on the forums remotely close to what I'm going through. Last year went in for my 3 month routine checkup. Had one in December with a clear scan and CEA at around 5.4 if I recall correctly. I've always been on the high side so that number hasn't been alarming. March thing...
