Upgrades to Daily Photo Posts

I have updated the format of the daily posts to make it a bit easier for you to interact with them at the website. It is now easier to leave a comment or question on each post, and I have added a “like” button. (I won’t mind at all if you use it! ;-) I have also added some easy-to-use “share” buttons you can use to repost to social media.

    I am posting this comment on my own post so that I can quickly test it to see if it works correctly. Fun, eh?

OK, maybe I took some liberty with the name of this plant. I actually do not know what it is. (I’ll gladly accept identification help.) I think I photographed it during a visit to a particular botanical garden, though the details probably are not important. What is important is that… I really don’t want to run into a gigantic version of this plant in the middle of a very dark night!

Photographing plants is not my main thing, but at times I do find them very interesting — whether just because they happen to be beautiful or because they possess a strangeness that we usually overlook. In many cases they present remarkable graphical subjects, full of textures, colors, angles and more. They also are almost everywhere — so if you are thinking, “I can’t get away to make photographs…” maybe you can just look around and find something close by.

Quick Note: ‘Live View’ post updated

Earlier today I updated my post about the “live view” feature on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and added a couple additional reasons why the feature is so useful. See the post here: Why I Like ‘Live View’ on my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
