@senanthic My Dad liked to quote Branch Rickey: "Luck is the residue of good design."
You were standing there with your camera. Probably thought, "Hey, there might be a lightning strike..." and pushed the shutter release (here's the luck) at just the right instant. A hundred--maybe a thousand--times you've been in the right place but were an instant too soon or too late. But persistence pays off.
My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.
Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.
It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight#photography
There are some things that just have to be photographed. This kind of chalk-based street art definitely qualifies. It’s beautiful, whimsical, and sadly, ephemeral.
Landscape Photography doesn’t have to be about getting up early running, up a hill and taking a photo. I can’t do any of those things. These were taken by a road or in my wheelchair in the afternoon, the only time I can sit up. Just do what you can, #Dartmoor#Devon. #photography
@Rachelburch you are correct. Some of my nicest fall colours and picturesque streams were just ditch photos. In the eye (or camera) of the beholder. It's also not that special when a tree grows in the woods, but when it grows out of a rock or difficult place, it's amazing
On my way out to go to the tank farm (gas station for you who don’t live in the Arctic) and something stopped me in my tracks. #Nunavut#photography#LandscapePhotography
@RiaResists@EU_Commission I've always seen this project as a way to win the new-space race. The more of those he send, the more difficult it will be for non-SpaceX launchers to find a window...
Providing space-based internet might just be an excuse to take the monopoly of the rocket market.
However: the quest of finding a sensor that can capture the spectrum that aerochrome did continues.
(short of NASA grade sensors I haven’t found much yet)
I was in Seattle visiting friends and on the way back we impromptu wanted to visit Mt. Rainer. I had realized that the moon phase was new and the galaxy core would still be visible so I got my camera out and took this in a random part of the park. This remains to be one of the cleanest photo of the galaxy core I've gotten so far. #photography
I don't have a job for the first time in my life and have to ask for help. Each boosting means a lot to me and I hope it will help to find a few persons interested in buying my photographic prints.
Thank you so much for your help!
Hello mastodon !
Il doit y avoir quelques photographes pro par ici tout de même, le but du jeu c'est que ce pouet les atteigne.
Je bosse en aménagement d'intérieur, on fait pas mal d'impression murale et on a un client qui veut un espace immersif forêt en photo.
On a jamais fait ça, on travaille en vectoriel habituellement. Il nous faudrait du coup une ou 2 photos panoramiques d'ambiance similaire de forêt, de qualité et format suffisant pour être imprimée en 2x5m environ (2x10m si une seule).
Où est-ce qu'on achète des photos de ce type ? Est-ce que ça se trouve ? Est-ce que ça se commande ?
@Ortie Hello ! J'imagine que pour le meilleur résultat, le top serait de trouver un.e photographe qui sachent faire du stitching de photos.
C'est à dire prendre plusieurs photos et les assembler : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stitching
Dans le but de découper ensuite les images en mosaïque A0 pour l'impression et obtenir ainsi une bonne résolution.
Mais tu peux trouver des trucs de résolutions intéressantes, genre : https://www.pexels.com/photo/panoramic-view-of-trees-in-the-forest-13308323/
14 000 × 6900 pixels ça peut être déjà pas mal pour un mur.
Some old blackhouses in the Scottish Highlands weight their thatch down with stones. These ones made me think of those theme park rides where people dangle from a track.
That one in the front has just seen what's coming.
OK, Friday night we were looking at the pretty colors and then turned the corner of our house to see this friggin’ thing looming overhead (shown earlier in this thread). We were clearly looking straight into something from space entering earths atmosphere. It only lasted about 5 minutes and dissipated. I think it was a fairly rare “corona” structure, but I have seen them in a fair amount of other photos from Friday. This black and white version is cool. #aurora#photography#nature
