Spring Leaves — This photo is mostly about color and texture. I'm still getting the hang of resizing images to keep them looking good under 100KB. It seems like a higher resolution with a lower quality looks better than a lower resolution with a higher quality. ILCE-6500 + 16-50mm @ 50mm, ISO 125, 1/80, f/16

Azem Palace in Damascus — The palace was built in 1749 to be the private residence for As'ad Pasha al-Azm, the Ottoman governor of Damascus; during the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon, it housed the French Institute. After being purchased in 1951 by the Syrian government from the Al-Azm family and undergoing several reconstruction works, the palace now houses the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions.

Oregon Coast, 2017

Another Moto X shot

A full-resolution (but lowered quality to fit into 100K) of a detail. @norayr - the original shows curious waves of sharpness (I hope visible here). Moto X was an interesting camera.

Also a phone shot. The old Moto X phone camera was quite good, compared with my current Moto G Play... The depth of field is pretty amazing considering I was shooting into the bright sky. Unretouched.

Panasonic digital camera, f3.3 1/200 Macro I convinced many people that this is a photo of a rare marble-boring slug preparing to bore a hole in a slab of marble after a rain.

Pretty sure I shot this with a Nikon F3 with Nikkor F1.1 big glass 50mm lens, on Kodak Plus-X. Developed in Rodinal, 1:1. Later scanned on an old Agfa film scanner (dirty scanner bed was a lucky accident, adding to the surreal mood).

Mountains and Grass — Here's a photo I took of some grasses with mountains in the distance. I don't have much of a telephoto lens, but using the telephoto end of the range makes the distant mountains appear larger in the photograph. ILCE-6500 + 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 @ 50mm, ISO 320, 1/80, f/16

Extreme scaling/compression made the underexposed skyline less that it is in the original

What are good photo applications for use with dwm? That is, ones that don't open tons of windows all over the place, or at least behave in a reasonable way on a system where window placement is not manually controlled?

Fence — I sometimes try to avoid artificial objects in landscapes, but I think they can work out if you embrace them as part of the composition.

Cicada Macro Photography (5 image gallery) — Cicada are a big bulky tank of an insect that pop up here every other year during the summer time. They are quite noisy but very cool looking and non aggressive. This one perched itself on top of my outdoor power cord, I believe it is beginning the process of molting its skin.

Chicken of the Woods — I took this one a couple of years ago. We were on a mushroom hunting hike through Stebbins Canyon, where we spotted this lovely shroom in a shallow ravine while walking back to the car. Everyone else on the hike had gone home already. We took it home and I soaked it in brine, then fried it and served it with a white sauce and fettuccine. It tasted good but gave me a horrible stomachache shortly afterwards.

better colours — better colours why do i write this? i love film colours, and most of the times i don't like digital colours out of the camera. so there is this russian photographer - pavel kosenko. he also didn't like the colours he was getting with digital cameras, even after lots of editing, and so he started to research: read many books about colours, photography, cinema, etc. his research led him to writing a book, called 'lifelike' - it is now available in english here: [https link] if...

Trees in a Field — This is another early picture taken in the springtime. I like how the tree in the background is a bit more leafed out than the one in the foreground. This was the first picture where I noticed the effect that dust on the camera sensor has on an image. You can notice a really big spot in the upper left. In the original there were at least two other spots that were easy to see. This prompted me to learn how to remove them with GIMP and also how to clean the camera's light...
