Photography & Photos

[poddster]

This thread is about photography and photos, not to be confused with the Weekly Photo Challenge.

The thread is an ongoing one with no time limit and no challenges.

Anyone is welcome to submit photographs here for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Questions and comments should pertain to photos or photography.

Thank you Faye. 

I love seeing photos of the snow and ice.  I don't like the cold either so will probably never see it for real. 

Here's another variation on Sabastian's (my son) sunglass picture.  Taken at Pottsville Northern NSW.

This is not my picture but it is well worth including in the thread.

The pair are 13 and 14, they are members of a group of students learning English in Russia, the event was a party on Valentine's Day.

The Sun.

Picture taken using a 32X ND filter and 2 linear Polarizing filters out of phase at f22. the polarizing filters have to be of the linear type and set at 90 degrees out of phase the blue colouration is added by the polarizing filters.

The sun was also veiled by a thin layer of cloud.

The solar corona is clearly visible, which I was hoping to capture 🙂

Great thread. It doesn't say in the head post that you must have taken the original photo, so... I'll post a few "impressionist" pics, if that's all right...
