Nice shot. Are those cultivated, or do they grow wild?
Thank you.

Living here being a Garden City, most trees, plants, shrubs and greeneries that are found in public gardens and along by the roads are planted and taken care by the government department called the National Parks.
Also there are many private gardens (opened to the public) that are taken care by individuals.
Unless they are found in the forest, which are probably grown wild but they are still under the National Parks care.

The above shot is cultivated.

Haven't been here in a while!

First, is a macro shot of extremely tiny shells I collected years ago on Sanibel Island in Florida.

Second, are quince branches a co-worker brought to our office. Several of us took photos of them; my boss did sketches. This was my rendition of their beauty.

Last one is last night's V-Day roses

Took a slew of pix tonight, playing with settings on the Pen-F. Some in color, some B&W; the camera has a nice mono filter built in to it and I also programmed it to save a particular "look" of black and white.

Normally, I'd do some post processing to enhance areas, but didn't bother with it this time because I'm still trying to figure out how to get the images from the camera uploaded and preserve the EXIF info on the image.

For some reason, whenever I push it through via various apps it loses the info, especially when I work on it. This time, I emailed it to myself which does save the information. This probably doesn't mean much to anyone so pardon the technical jargon; but I keep my images on Flickr and like having that EXIF so that I can remember the shutter/ISO/aperature/etc info - it's a good way to learn from my mistakes or successes. And, I like reading other people's also as it helps me understand their methods for what I like in their images.

Nice shot, there. I used to do stuff like that with my old Canon FTb 35mm- a metal monster that would serve as a weapon in a pinch. One of my grand- nieces was going to school down in Pittsburgh, and needed a camera for one of her classes, so I gave it to her.

I still have my first film camera - a Pentax K1000. I keep meaning to send it out to be cleaned and tested to be sure it's working ok. Last time I held it I seem to remember it was a bit "sticky" when advancing the film. I'd love to start shooting with it again also.

Not a lot of portraits in this thread, so here's one.

This is my our very good friend, and pet sitter, Angela. She also shamelessly loves to pose :lol: I joke she's my daughter from another mother lol. Big age difference between us, but somehow it doesn't seem to matter at all. I love that.

I did a quick grab shot while she was sitting next to me on the couch, then another giving her a couple of directions to give her pose a better position. She's really good at taking direction too. She's a total ham
