Just as I was going through some past work I came across a number of images that apply and you may not have seen.

1) This photo was taken last year in April. The crescent moon phase was 4% and had 2% illumination. The clear clean dry skies of Arizona made this shot possible.

Maybe too much going on for a minimalistic photo, but to have this single cloud amid a sandstorm (large negative space/limited tones ), I think it complies.

The female dragonfly tried to lay eggs in the water. But males constantly were approaching her and it looked like the female was diving under the surface for a while to be unseen.

Hi everyone,

Giants Causeway at Sunset -- Both of these feature the strange rock formations at the Giants Causeway in Bushmills Ireland.

Minimalism is one of those things that everyone has a different opinion on. I can't offer a good explanation of it but when I manage to get one I like it hits me like minor chord.

The strange rock formations at the Giants Causeway in Bushmills Ireland. Taken near sunset bringing out both the golden hour light, and the texture of the slabs.

A fleeting rainbow appeared in 'Ōpūnohu Bay on the island of Moorea. Only visible for a few seconds.

Hi every one, i'm "new" here. I've made this account and became a member a while go. But i haven't come around to post anything.

Some pictures from around Venice Florida shoreline.

I have been "uninspired" to take my camera for a walk and I haven't watched videos of my favorite landscape YouTubers since February.

# 1, 2, & 4 are "Drive-By Shooting" images. That portfolio is now large enough that I think a formal publication is starting to germinate.

Juxta : charged and not yet charged up

These are some of my concert shots from the last couple of years.

The Setup:

Imagine me shut in a hotel room and a fire starts and I only have 50% chance of survival.

The Paradox:

This Brownie Target Six-20 model was manufactured from July 1946 to May 1952 and, of course, uses 620 film. You have a choice of apertures of around f/11 or f/16.

Other than aurora I've never really had much luck shooting astro, the results just never lived up to expectations.

These birds are fast...they are hard to get into the camera....but once you get them, they are yours...amazing little birds for sure!

Not much to say about these since they're self-explanatory. Hope everyone is doing well!

After dark at the Old Royal Naval College Greenwich, Queen Mary building viewed from the entrance to the Chapel. Sony A7iv + Sony GM2, 24-70mm f2.8 EXIF: ISO2500, f/7.1, 1/80 s, @70mm.

Looking for new locations in Dolomites, during a scouting trip, i find this epic mountain with a vertical and impressive wall, very amazing to see.

This guy flew in with a flock of house finches, but I've never seen such yellow on a finch before. I'm assuming he's getting in his adult feathers, but that yellow is surprising. Oak Ridge, TN.

Just a few I have shot through the years.

Just adding a few more examples of images where a key element may be missed on initial viewing.

This is old.

Jumping on Dean's suggestion for June. This month's challenge is to present images where a key element of the composition is text.

Find something with a word (or words).

Photograph: a sign, a bookshelf, add words to one of your photos, instructions on how-to assemble something.

Examples:

One of those that Alan mentioned ... takes a second to bring the 2 together . shot with iPhone waiting at the traffic light ... these moments happens quickly

I've been experimenting with a new editing technique all week on some of my older photos. I decided to do a series on some of my older lighthouse photos. These are some of my favorites.
