I was able to get out today and shoot a bit! I’m thinking these pictures would fit with the second verse of “Fairest Lord Jesus.”

Hello again! I have now purchased a Manfrotto compact action tripod. Thank you all for your helpful advice!

In answer to your question, @hayhand02,…
Thanks for clarifying. Actually, I don’t have a tripod right now and don’t need an expensive carbon fiber professional model. All I need is a decently sturdy, entry level tripod (used is ok) for somewhere between $20-$40. If I ever go big into photography and need a better tripod (which I don’t have…[Read more]

Let me try that link again…
Sample Manfrotto compact action tripod

I think we found the problem, so here goes..

And another…

That didn’t work so here goes another try.

We decided to go for the art side of the title and here is what we came up with. I was able to use a camera with a higher resolution, but there was one photo that I decided to submit despite the small size😊!

At the risk of asking a dumb question…
Is there any way to get a longer edge on a photo other than using a higher resolution camera? When shooting in RAW and RAW + Large quality, the longest edge we could get was 3456 pixels.
If there is no way to up this resolution, either in-camera or in post processing, would ZFP consider a photo if it had…[Read more]

That did’t work quite right so I’ll try again and add a few more photos.

These photos illustrate praying. We can ask for whatever we need from the creator and owner of everything through the avenue of prayer. Why should we be worried or “careful” for anything? Through reading the Bible and praying, we can grow in our relationship with God, and…[Read more]

Bread reminds me of Jesus, the Bread of Life, and how He taught us to ask for our daily bread.

Here are some of our photos!
We were not able to export our RAW files from Apple Photos as RAW files, but only as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF. For this reason we are submitting our JPEGs to the forum. I hope they work (we would be happy to share our RAW files if someone knows how to share them from the Apple Photos setup.

Winter, spring, summer, and…[Read more]

James,
If we submit RAW files to Benjamin’s Dropbox link, will they be critiqued on the webinar?

Eastern Tailed-Blue

I love watching butterflies flutter and dive around the yard on summer days, but equally enjoyable to me is trying to photograph them.
This summer I noticed one that I hadn’t seen before. Looking online, I came to the conclusion that this is an Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly. It has a wing span of less than one inch, and w…[Read more]

The Butterfly Is Out!

It was a lovely, sunny, summer morning when I heard excited calls from the front porch. A quick investigation revealed that one of our butterflies had found its way out of the confines of its cocoon.
It has become a summer tradition to raise a few caterpillars, watching them eat and grow fat, turn into a cocoon, and…[Read more]

Wonders in the Weed Patch

Out behind our barn is a small area of our driveway where an old lawn tractor sits in the weeds next to some neglected fencing and some leftovers from the wood chip pile. Wandering over this direction around midday, camera in hand, I was looking to photograph one of the big gray grasshoppers that often sit on…[Read more]

It doesn’t look like my last try worked, so here goes another one.
