Random Photo of the Day - 2019 - post yours!

^^^^^ Wanted to rate this ouch! I do hope the bull had finished with it before that happened!!! And the focus was admirable. :thumbsup2:

After finally getting decent rain I have a good colour show happening with the bouganvilleas. This is last evening and Jazz is just going up to her observation post for a look see. :)IMG_20190428_172430.webp
 
@JanS your photos are always beautifully done, may I ask why you wanted to “upgrade” cameras? I am not an expert by any means but I was always under the assumption that the lenses were where the quality predominantly came from. I have a Nikon I bought I’d say ten years ago and I STILL only have the stock 18-55 mm it came with...

I think older models can only processes so many megapixels. I think my Nikon from 10-12 years ago is an 8 megapixel; my new Google 3 phone is like 12.2 megapixels. It's been too long since I've had my Nikon out but my phone just takes such darned good pictures... Obviously you get the benefit of larger file sizes with DSLRs so you can edit and crop without loosing resolution...

Another from our random snow storm on Saturday. Moo is still on the long lead... CT Scan tomorrow and hopefully results within a couple of days! Of course he woke up with a red and irritated eye this morning :facepalm:

This was from yesterday... actually quite a nice day! Got the arbor anchored to the ground and Dingo and I went for a long walk around the neighborhood! (Garden visible in the backyard is in place with all the dirt and mushroom compost one could hope for).

And wow! You got a lot of snow! I didn't think it would get that far south. Luckily, we didn't even get a flake. Well, I shouldn't say that. We probably got a couple. :evilgrin:
 
I could be mistaken but I remember reading (some time ago) that megapixels are really for printing. The human eye can’t tell a difference for anything over 8 or 10. Again it’s been awhile!

Crossing my fingers for Moose man <3

Yes buuut... I think that's where the editing and cropping comes into play. I always shot in RAW mode on my Nikon which produces a HUGE image. I could manipulate and edit without losing resolution and save as a JPG. Again though... I haven't done that in years... Even on my phone, I have it set-up to take the biggest photo and video files possible so I don't loose 'the magic' when I edit them. I use Google Photo's to back everything up when I'm on WiFi so I can clear files off my phone often. Heaven forbid I run out of storage space on the agility run of my dreams!!! :rofl:

I was just replacing one of the spares I carry in my car after the last one was stolen when I was parked at a hotel where I stayed when I had job training. I'll always stick with the DSLR's for most of my shots and have many lenses for them. All of them have high MP's but this newest one happened to be handy when I wanted to get that candid shot.
