Greetings photography enthusiasts. After a couple months, this series is back. It’s Friday, and time for a new (almost) monthly foto flog. This is one I took in Tampa in mid-June. I have quite a few photos from that particular trip, but this is the one that I keep gravitating toward when I review my photos.
Please note that this is a reboot of a series that went to seed a few years ago. I know that there are some photo hobbyists like me who post here already. As always, I am hoping to incite a bit more “community behavior” in our community blog. AndiF and BobX used to curate the old foto flog. Others contributed quite regularly. Folks like Hurria, JimF, KNUCKLEHEAD, dada, olivia, ask, tampopo, Man Eegee, and a whole host of others posted photos at one time or another. I am sure I have missed someone in that list.
I don’t use anything especially fancy. Right now my Samsung Galaxy s6 keeps humming along well enough, and it continues to serve me well for most general photography purposes. Unless that phone goes bad, I plan on keeping it for at least the next year or so. I may switch over to the Google Pixel, depending on how one of my younger relatives likes his. Probably going to proceed as planned with a Galaxy S9 sometime in the next year.
Some of our regulars have actual professional equipment, and before Photobucket turned into such a drag, we were graced by some absolutely stunning landscape shots, close-ups of flowers and insects, and some abstract photography. I’ve often marveled at the creativity of the folks who have meandered in and out of this community over the years. I use flickr to host my photos for the time being. I have tried out imgur as well. So far, so good.
Consider this series as a homage to its predecessor, and dedicated to the spirit of its ancestors. Enjoy.
