17 Jun 2026 Theme Portfolio Project & Color: Barb
BarbD continues with her dual portfolio ideas – architecture and “green’. She uses a compact 1” Sony RX100VI pocket travel camera. It produces photos of suprisingly great quality with little or no post-processing. I’ve started carrying mine around a lot more, inspired by her stuff.

17 Jun 2026 Theme Color: Sharon
Sharon opted for the alternate theme “color”, where you focus on finding and focusing on one particular color.
Portfolio Project 2026: Norm
Norm has a particular speciality – 360deg imagery – that is very unique to the group. He did not use a 360deg camera that is currently available. He took a series of images using a superwide or fisheye lens then stitched them together using PTGui software. He processes the image set into a 360deg panoramic image which, when view on 360cities.net, is immersive and interactive. Click on the panoramic image to open it’s 360deg link. You can view all of his 360 panoramics at 360cities.net.
Portfolio Project 2026: Jim
Jim traveled to Japan several times from 2004-2023 and wants to compile his favorite photos. It is not meant to be a travel log or photographic journal but a gathering of his favorite images. For his portfolio, he wanted to use a 16×9 horizontal format for stylistic consistency. So the images he is compiling fit this horizontal format.
Portfolio Project 2026: Barb D
Barb shared two ideas in May – “Green” and “Architecture”. We’ll see if one or both of these themes/styles/subjects continues to fill out her portfolio.

Portfolio Project 2026: Barbara
Barbara’s portfolio for May-July 2026 are of her street photography favorites. Since purchasing a Nikon Zf with the 40mm & 50mm primes, she’s focused on exploring street-style photos. Using the Nikon’s built-in b&w live view, she’s been shooting more images in black&white.

15 Apr 2026 Themes Clouds; Spring-Flowers: Mikky
One of Mikky’s favorite subject is Flowers and he works particularly hard at achieving the right bokeh (amount of blur) using lens aperture. Depth of field in macro photography is always challenging. It’s use can be creative and, at the same time, critical for focusing on the subject or feature of interest. He shared a set of vibrant colorful flower photos and some more subtle & delicate.
Mikky also shared a great shot of Clouds over Bryce Canyon, a wonderful destination for landscape photographers.
15 Apr 2026 Themes Spring-Flowers: Sharon
Sharon always seem to find something interesting in her backyard. Her eucalypus trees shed bark that can test the imagination, like animal-shaped clouds. The choice of different backgrounds also changes the interpretation – same object but different mood – interesting.
Her photos continually bring a smile and can be visually-provoking. Meaning, they make me want to slow-down and look carefully. Sometimes, interesting images are right under your feet.
15 Apr 2026 Themes Before/After; Clouds; Spring-Flowers: Gary
Gary shared some pairs of straight-out-of-camera photos followed by cropped, post-processed. One of his favorite post-processes is to flip a reflection to add to the interest – always fun. His passionfruit flower image was critically sharp and almost abstract. He continues to process and share timeless landscape photos from his recent Sedona trip. Lastly, for the Flowers theme, he included a favorite backyard-after-rain flower image – beautiful!
