Random Photo thread

No can do. Don't and wont use hosting sites or clouds for storage.

Any particular reason? I mean we are all entitled to our quirks, but I am curious.

I keep over 30K photos in the cloud. My important photos are safe, even if the house burns down.

Hey Bob

I'm not naive enough to think i can be on the web without my personal details getting used and passed around the web. That being said i am also not naive enough to believe social medi sites will look after my personal details without on selling them or changing their sites rules, (that we all agree to when we sign up), to suit them selves and change the parameters of the agreement. Was free now its limited, now go to a pay feature and you pay by a certain date or we delete information and Pics. Flickler done that a while ago when they limited the free host to 1000 pics and then they upped the cost after 2 years saying Flickr was loosing millions when they bought it.

I like to have as much control over my personal space as possible. On my iPhone i only use the apps needed to do basic functions. All others are either not accessed or deleted and GPS has not been turned on.

That is why you will see a copyright with my name on all my Pics. On another forum i go on i have seen photos of bikes and made up wiring diagram, posted up in a thread and the next day it is in the images on a Search for the world to see, download, and use as they wish........seen pics of simplified wiring diagram that was made by the members and posted on their site and here it was in a search. When going to the site it was blurred and only available for money..........

Whats to stop anyone from using one of your pics for commercial use......I'm of the mind where i own my data. In the limited control i do have i intend to exercise it.
I don't do Facebook, whatsapp, instragram or most of the other bloodsucking leaches.

Not the best of reviews either

Still confused.
My photos are copywrited. If someone uses any of my Flickr photos, I know, (tech stuff), and can take legal action, if I wish.
No personal information in photos to speak of. Take a look at my linked Flickr account.
My backup cloud storage is not open to the public...Of course. But I won't loose my stuff in a fire.
Really no different than hosting your own website...

Hey...Whatever floats your boat. I can't be limited by unfounded fear. I would love to see more of your photos, though.

I don't do Facebook, whatsapp, instragram or most of the other bloodsucking leaches.

I feel the same. Though many of my friends put Grateful Dead stickers on their vehicles, I won't even keep any music visible when I park my car. Someone looking in won't see anything that wasn't installed by GM.

This is the only site I visit. I like to fly under the radar...with a big loud 4-into-1 pipe.

Sandy, I love that lake shot.

Last night at the channel to the pier

Yes, I did that on purpose.
Set up for long exposure (so can catch both beacon lights on), was waiting for boat pass so not blocking view of pier, then I noticed it was turning and going to pass un front of me, so tried it, thinking would just be streaks of light.
I found it interesting that still make out the boat shape, and that see thru the cabin windows.

Wow Dave! How artistic/surreal/spontaneous/fun/crazy is that? Good stuff!

Thanks.

Yep, about as crazy as I get.






THis more realistic, but still has time lapse streaks of boat going up and down with waves.

Just a pic of the moon and Jupiter last nite. Having beers with my dad on his 82nd birthday and noticed the pretty sky during a brief visit to behind the barn.

You all probably have seen enough pier sunset photos from me, but just to show you how different the scene can be just the next night:
P1200734 by Dave Redman, on Flickr

At full 300mm (600 equivalent). I would say I am 2500 to 3000 feet from the pier, down past where the channel makes a turn, so I am looking down the channel over the water. Someone familiar with the area, but not understand telephoto, might think I was in a boat on the water to get a view from that direction.
THis wider view (maybe 70mm=140, so still telephoto) explains it better.

Dave, I would say that new lens works fairly well. And photographer isn't too bad either.

That upper photo is outstanding....Really outstanding.

Hey all, another nice set. Glad to see people out and about. I'm still somewhat home bound with the puppy.
