Close to Home: Show us yours

[32BT]

Eighty percent of all my photos are taken within 1-2 kilometres of my home. I did the lamp series. But now I will show you my dust. When I moved into the house there were these cheap black plastic window blinds and wine coloured walls with a grape motif over the doorways. Tried to clean everything, but gave up, painted it all and changed the blinds! Amazing how much dust there really is when you get close enough.

You're familiar with the colloquial: "too much info!" ?

Here's one from earlier this afternoon, after some new snow, taken from just off my front porch.

Visited an old age home. Found this on way out and took it with my cell phone. Looks much cooler in person.

Across the river from me...1/2 mile.

Man in his subterranean environment. Look how small he looks.

A mile from my house.  I didn't feel like driving very far that night.

This is from my porch.

Thanks for reviving this thread, folks.
Good stuff.

P.S. My house doesn't have a porch. Maybe that's why I've never gotten such a good double rainbow?

Berlin chic?

So you prefer taking pictures at night too.

That has to be it! It certainly helps with all sorts of atmospheric phenomenon photography.

That's nice. The telescoping effect is kind of mesmerizing.

Nice, reminds of this one that I took in my neighborhood (I think it was a 5 frames stitch)

Yes, impressive! Have you ever had difficult stitching a rainbow? Sometimes they will just not line up.

WOXOF on Porpoise Bay.  With fog as heavy as this, there would be no flying that day.

Last week.  From my livingroom window. In my bathrobe.



I know, I know.  Haloes in the sky.  WTF, I'm new at Topaz Clarity.

I rarely experienced rainbows and I didn’t get to shoot panoramas of them either.
This particular one was challenging because of my framing (was in the car stopped at the entrance in the neighborhood and was trying to be done fast before other cars show up) and the camera. It was a  Panasonic FZ1000 with a 1” sensor which was shot at iso 800, borderline for quality. Being a larger photo though I could probably get around with a 13x19 or so. I’ll probably play with it again in PTGui.

Looking back I see this was actually at ISO 400 but I pushed it in postprocessing that it looks like ISO 800.


Here are few more from the same time
