Tom is building a shed in the backyard. With each step, each addition, Miss Maggie thinks that he is doing it for her. Imagine her thrill when the walls are up and the doors are not done. She will think that he built her a house!

German Shepherd Dogs Kennedy & K2 Tag Team To Devour Palm Frond Like A Hunted Dinosaur Skeleton - IMRAN™ (3D Anaglyph)
Friendly and loving as my beautiful German Shepherd Dogs Kennedy and K2 are, you can tell their hereditary predator and hunting instincts. The way they devour dead palm fronds at an empty lot in the neighborhood you would think they had hunted a massive dinosaur and were not ripping the flesh off the bones. Enjoy the 3D (red/cyan anaglyph) video with Tampa Bay providing a perfect boating backdrop.

Gerbera daisies caught in the dark, outside our local Stop & Shop. I like that they look startled and caught. I don't usually use a flash, and had to tone done the color a little, but it's still so vibrant. One photo a day. (232/366) Bayside, Queens, NYC -- August 19, 2020

Caltech is home to the 1.7-ton, 130-year-old Fleming cannon. The origins and exact age of the Fleming cannon are not known with certainty. It is believed to have been cast during the Franco-Prussian War era, but completed in 1878 after the war was over.
Somewhere east of Scranton, Pennsylvania, in search of scenic Route 6. I presume the cougars here are a local sports team, but found nothing on the internet. -- Northeastern Pennsylvania -- October 8, 2021

Lake Merritt in Oakland, California is one of the most unique urban spaces in the United States. Its three mile heart-shaped shoreline in the center of an exceptionally diverse city is the place for man and nature to migrate and mingle daily. This tidal lagoon is also home to the oldest designated wildlife refuge (1870) in the United States.

Between 7:40PM to 8:45PM on 30 Aug 23, I witnessed at least two dozen anvil crawlers (spider lightning) in Oracle, Arizona. Unfortunately, I was preoccupied capturing this with my iPhone and not my dSLR. The dischargers were overhead in occasional light rain and I didn't think it worth getting my camera wet for this. Little did I know that this activity would go on for more than an hour. Even my GoPro would have resulted in superior images.
This is just a sample of some stacked images lightened in Photoshop. They are unprocessed frame from my iPhone recording handheld at 240 fps. Sure wish I had my wide field 35mm lens for this.
Anyway, I thought you'd like to see more examples of what the SW Monsoon can deliver.

K2 German Shredder Training While Chill Champ Kennedy Relaxes - IMRAN™
Another from the early videos of K2, the GSD puppy, learning to be a German Shredder. The older but still young although wise and very chill German Shepherd Kennedy just ignores the puppy's antics.

Our Daily Challenge: Salt or Salty
A different take on today’s challenge, salty water. My Mom has been going stir crazy. Since the beginning of March she has only been out of the house a few times. I have taken her to the doctor twice and an outdoor nursery three or four times.
She begs me to take her to Macy’s, LOL! That woman loves to shop! Today I picked her up, went into the frozen yogurt store and got a treat, drove to the beach, and we watched the waves. When she finished, I said “let’s go to the glider port”. She had never been there and really enjoyed it. I alas, only had my cell phone which proved almost impossible to use with the low sun in my eyes.

Our Daily Challenge: Hands Doing What We Love
A bit of a selfie here. My hand holding my camera, a reflection of me with one hand holding the camera and the other holding the iPhone taking the image.
Smoke at ground level looks like distant fog this morning. The smell was strong and only expected to worsen this week. :-(
New iPhone has same resolution as old versions but noise is better controlled and color is richer (truer) especially in low light situations. Taken 12 minutes before sunrise.

Our Daily Challenge: Autumn
Here in San Diego we are blessed with moderate weather. Often the changing seasons look the same. I did find some Fall colors to represent Autumn on my walk earlier today.

It looks like I will be 20 shy of my 2023 goal of 100 self portraits (or parts of me portraits). This is my first failure in the 100 X groups.
For fun in the new year, join our 52 week project group: "52 Weeks of 2024" where we keep our photography skills growing, learn new things and have fun. Here is a link to the new group:

With iPhone 11 Pro Max handheld in really dark conditions. So dark in fact that I could hardly see the colors with my eyes but Apple's "Deep Fusion" could "see" in the dark!
What I like about the iPhone 11 Pro Max (overpriced as it is):
1) Capable of rather natural looking photos, good colors.
2) Ultrawide, wide and fast prime all in a pancake form factor.
3) Ultrawide 13mm equivalent is really very wide.
Caveat, under low light, the Wide is noticeably better thanks to Night Mode which is not available with the Ultrawide.
4) Portrait mode (52mm equivalent)
a. Bokeh simulation usable, can only get better in future versions with 3D ToF sensor.
b. "f-stop" adjustable to f1.4.
c. Studio Lighting and various lighting modes.
d. Post shot edit allows changes in "Lighting" mode and even f-stop!
5) Usable Night Mode with choice to lengthen exposure if necessary, able to perform much longer exposures that would require a tripod. Applicable for the primary (equivalent 26mm) lens only.
The iPhone 11 Pro as good as it is will not replace ILCs today but the smartphone market is so much bigger with rapid advancements vs a rapidly declining camera market releasing minor iterative upgrades, ultimately only the Sports and Wildlife genres will survive for ILCs.
Olympus however does have various multi-shot modes with RAW output. Olympus' Handheld High Resolution (HHHR) and Hi-Res modes both seek to increase resolution but the mechanics are different. In addition, Olympus also has 2 automated HDR modes (ISO fixed at ISO200) and Handheld Starlight mode (max ISO800, no longer available on E-M1 Mk2) but these are JPEG only modes.
HHHR works by switching off the IBIS intermittently while being handheld, merges the resultant 16 shots and does offer RAW output. Currently available only with the EM1X but should also be in the upcoming E-M1 Mkiii as well.
Olympus's tripod based Pixel-Shift (Hi-Res) feature utilizes ½ pixel movement of the sensor for 8 shots which are merged in camera with RAW output.
If Olympus can provide RAW output from merging/stacking in their "Hi-Res" modes, why can't they do likewise for in-cam HDR outputs which merges 4 sequential shots at different exposures, where's the logic of denying RAW for HDR!? Same thing with Handheld Starlight mode which averages 8 shots for lower noise.
The E-M1 Mkii in-cam HDR can be quite useful for night shots except it's not separately "marketed" as "Night Sight" or "Night Mode".
In comparison, iPhone's so called "Deep Fusion" stacks 9 shots at one go. "Deep Fusion" takes 4 (out of 9) shots before we even press the shutter for subsequent processing, Olympus' "Pro Capture" can do the same for up to 14 full resolution RAWs.
In summary, Olympus' HHHR mode handles 16 sequential handheld shots, Handheld Starlight mode merges 8 shots, tripod based Hi-Res deals with 8 shots and HDR mode merges 4 shots vs Apple's "Deep Fusion" assembly of 9 shots. Some of "Deep Fusion" 9 shots are taken prior shutter press, a process akin to Olympus' "Pro Capture" mode.
To claim that the iPhone 11 Pro camera is able to match m4/3 and even APS-C outputs is totally bogus! The m4/3 sensor is 10x the size of the largest sensor in the iPhone 11 Pro, so what if "Deep Fusion" is able to stack 9 shots!?
The E-M1 Mkii is capable of various multi-shot modes and the handheld HDR mode to my eyes produces results far superior to iPhone 11 Pro's Night Mode.
The E-M1 Mkii is feature rich but just too complicated (both by design as well as very bad design) for the average user, perhaps they need to implement much better iAuto mode like how "Deep Fusion" works which does everything behind the scene.
Meanwhile Huawei will be releasing a phone with 5 cameras which will likely include the Ultra-wide, Wide, periscope Tele of 240mm, Macro and 3D ToF sensor, all in a "pancake" form factor. A ToF sensor can perform "3D-depth range scanning" great for background blur.
As it stands for ILCs, we'll need separate lenses for UWA (incls Wide), Standard 50mm, Portrait Fast Prime, Macro and Telephoto but you can potentially do all that with the new Huawei without any lens change and the largest sensor used will be 1/1.3" at 52mp! Sony for all their prowess in sensors, display, video and gaming, yet their smartphones are so uncompetitive it boggles the mind really!
Ultimately, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is a very good smartphone camera but it will not replace a proper ILC camera unless the "photographer" is really clueless.
At the Great Halloween Blaze in Croton-On-Hudson, NY. The color is from a magenta spotlight, Part of a Halloween light and jack-o-lantern show. Spooooky. One photo a day. (317/366) -- November 12, 2020
Street scene of the bar and restaurant No 29, in Burnham Market Norfolk. I did ask all the customers if they minded me taking the image and all were happy, just waiting to see if I got run over standing in the middle of the road to get the shot !!
Like a few locations in Norfolk - Burnham Market is a sort of Chelsea but in East Anglia. Lovely town but do not buy much there due to London prices.
I consider this sky rated 8.5/10. A few minutes later: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/53332082243/

Good Boy K2 Tells Kennedy To Heed NO TRESPASSING Sign - IMRAN™
They say German Shepherd Dogs are very smart. They also are bold and will sometimes push the limits. For example, Kennedy went on to a neighboring dock to get a look towards our home to the right on the water. But K2, the 9 weeks old GSD puppy, seems to literally stop at the NO TRESPASSING sign and then scolds Kennedy when he returns to us. To his credit, you can see Kennedy look down at the sign as if he has just read it for the first time. LOL.
