    After receiving minimal snow the past two years, this week's storm has proven rather cathartic [OC]
  • Happy to help, but can you elaborate on a photosphere? Is that just a 360° panoramic photo?

  • Everything shuts down over a few inches around here. Meanwhile I just say DA BEARS and grab the boots and camera.

    In November of 2022, I photographed this tree amidst some fog while traveling in Shenandoah National Park. I captured the same image without fog in October of 2023. Here's a side-by-side. [OC]
  • Once you get into the woods the fog is substantially less. Not sure why. Here's a picture from that morning's hike taken on the Whiteoak Canyon Falls Upper Trail: https://lemmy.world/post/3812709

    Eastern Gray Squirrel enjoying a snack on my Silver Maple tree [OC]
  • Thanks! He was totally watching my every move as I opened the window and started snapping. That's why I love this pic. He's staring straight into the lens! I was ~20 ft. away with my telephoto 😃

    A man plays a flute at the weekly Meridian Hill Park drum circle in Washington, D.C. [OC]
  • It might have a different name, but I recognized it as an old school wooden one common across parts of the African continent.

  • This weekly drum circle established in 1979 at Meridian Hill Park in D.C. illustrates how rhythm and unity is ubiquitous across all cultures.

  • Didn't even know such a thing existed. At first I thought it was a baby hummingbird until I got closer and saw the fur and antennae.

  • This is good feedback. A lower ISO would allow for the highlights to pop more while reducing the blacks.
