thank you for the mention !

Hated portrail style shots forever...now somehow they make sense. It must be all the DIPAs I've been drinking of late

Wow, gorgeous photos...for some reason, that second photo of with the foreground vs clouds really stood out. beautiful stuff as always

thanks!

I did it without and blisters, hooray - I always have those hiker crocs ready to go too for backup.

thank you thank you! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the photos!

Yeah I struggle with it myself. Vertigo gets me thrown off for sure. It's almost like there is magnet drawing me to the abyss, you know? No fun!

well thank you! I do like to share this part of the world off, lol, especially on Hive

Well, since I posted this, we've had two days of rain now...so I guess I tricked the Universe into giving us something over here, lol

Thanks! Glad to know there are other Beach Boy fans on Hive, lol...I worry they are too "old fashioned" you know?

beautiful captures yet again...

My entry is in !

I actually use Snapseed ... but GIMP? I haven't heard of that one...I will check it out

Thanks! I really love playing with black and white with these kind of clouds...so much fun to edit.

Yeah, you will have to let me know how it goes! I started tracking my exercise a bit today that were recommended. I'm curious if it does stick and work for me.

thank you @ackhoo and @qurator !

thank you for stopping by - I'm looking forward to sharing my adventure with this path, and I hope it adds value to us all

thank you! Negative space...funny you mention that because I do want to try photography in that arena a bit _ i might have to wait for winter though, lol

thanks @monochromes for the mention! Much appreciated as always!

I typically only tell my wife my plans, lol, then it goes away...I think you are correct on it muddying the waters. We'll see if I can follow the "plan" here for a bit - hopefully good for the
