Sharon shared some sporting images from the family album and as usual a humorous image of the family pet ‘enjoying’ the pool.
Month: July 2025
16 July 2025 Themes Summer Adventures: Mikky
Mikky shared photos from his recent trip to Africa. These are images he took of Victoria Falls, some from a helicopter. Many of his images are panoramas because of the size of Victoria Falls. Animal photos from his African Safari will be share soon as he processes them.
16 July 2025 Themes Summer Adventures, & Sports: Gary
Gary shared images from his recent trip to Morro Bay and Avila Beach. He caught some fun images of the resident sea otters. some other critters and the beautiful coastline. He also had an opportunity to photograph a Mission, last month’s theme, so he shared a couple creative shots of it.
16 July 2025 Themes Summer Adventures, SD Fair, & Sports: Cathy
Cathy was inspired to shoot the San Diego Fair during its run, like Gary and myself. She particularly focus on isolated moments amongst the chaos. She was also the one to propose “Sports” for this month’s theme but had trouble finding an interesting vantage point without obstructions.
16 July 2025 Theme Summer Adventures: Barbara
Barbara is recovering from an injured arm/shoulder so she hasn’t had much opportunity to get out with her camera. She was able to photograph some beautiful flowers in her backyard and share a ‘street-type” image of some young people reveling on a date.

16 July 2025 Themes Summer Adventures, SD Fair & Sports:
Jim shared recent images from the San Diego Fair and a recent trip to Sequoia National Park. Because of past images from Sequoia NP being rather dull, he experimented with using a R72 infrared filter. This filter brings out the character of sunlit foliage and is great to use during midday sunlight.
He also ventured out to catch the moonrise over Mt Ecclesia in Oceanside. Last month, the marine layer blocked the moonrise so he tried again in July. The skies were free of marine layer, but the best images had some clouds in front of the moon. This darkened the moon enough to balance the exposure between the dome structure and the moon.
