The Weekend Extended Share-a-thon
I'm sharing you!
Reply with a link to your best work and I'll share it!
(But READ the RULES below first)

So I went to my profile this morning and yesterday's post is just gone.
All those wonderful comments from you folks, all your plusses and shares … gone.
I'm really frustrated with this photo upload bug right now so I thought, instead of sharing my work and the liabilities involved with the current #GooglePlusUpdate , I will share your wonderful work until it's fixed.

Here are the RULES

1– Go to your best shot in the lightbox and copy the link in the address bar and put it in the comments here. if the link you've gathered ends in "posts" it will go directly to your profile stream, NOT the image and I won't be able to share your best shot. Iwon... more »

#MacroMonday Mini Theme  *A R T   S U P P L I E S*

I love playing with my new macro lens and when I read about the mini theme art supplies I instantly was on the quest for stuff that could match the theme.
At first I had no clue, there must have been some old paint and brushes in the basement, but that's painting and not art supply.  Then the window colors, my wife once used, came to my mind and today I put them out and set them up on the dining table.

It was fun to experiment with available light coming from a window next to the table - my biggest available soft box ;). Then I added one and finally two speed lights in the back to accentuate the background bokeh by illuminating a big painting and a storage rack at the opposing wall. Experimenting with shutter speed and f stop, seeing the effects on the image was great. 

So here is one of  my window col... more »

Domination of portrait oriented images ?

I don't like the huge portrait images in my stream. Ok, they were neglected in the old design - black bars/grey bars you know, we had lots of discussion about that on the last GUI update.
But the new portrait layout  is a bit too much for me. Portrait oriented images are getting to look huge now. On smaller screens you have to scroll up and down to see the whole image.

In contrast to that the landscape oriented images look like tiny little stamps and almost get lost.

What do you think about the new images layout in your stream ?
What do you shoot most ?
Landscape or portrait orientation ?

Gigantic Covers - How do you like them ?

As fantastic as the new gigantic cover images look, as distracting I find them, when it comes to figuring out, what the people are actually doing. I simply get lost on this vast cover area and it takes some time to s roll down to the posts or to look up to the small top rim toolbar which contains the links to the about, photo or post links.

What do you think of the new cover images ?

Please plus, comment and share.  This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated.

How to disable auto enhance:
Do you know how to awesomize or enhance photos ?

Then you might not want G+ doing the work for you or changing what you did in your own post production.
 
Open  your G+ settings and scroll down a bit until you reach the Photo section. Below that you find the settings for "Auto Enhance" and "Auto Awesome"

New G+ Design

I think it looks kind of cool, but I'm still struggling with some things.
The upload is weird now ....

What I miss is, when I uploaded photos before the update I could select the album which I wanted to put it in and then automatically a share of the photo by keeping the context of the album popped up. Within the post  you could easily navigate from the posted image to other images of the album. This seems to be impossible now.

How do I do this with the new design ?
I can only upload my images to albums. But when I share them from there the image is the only one visible without the option to see all the other images of the album. Found the former upload method a nice way to promote albums without sharing them completely.

Reminder Odd Weeks are Off-Weeks
Today is #NotALighthouseThursdayThisWeek no. 39

Post your look alike lighthouse images (not links) today. I already found two great posts and I'm looking forward to what you will offer us this time. So go out shooting or search your archives and post the best you can find to get it alive.

The image below shows a paper made miniature which I found on one of the Dutch Photo Walks I went on.

How do I participate ?

Just label the post

Tomorrow is #NotALighthouseThursdayThisWeek No. 39

You can post images (not links) of fake lighthouses, buildings that remind you of a lighthouse but are not, miniatures, candles, jars, magnets that look like lighthouses or things that carry a lighthouse image on them, like t-shirts, ads, boxes, etc. Anything but a real lighthouse would be compliant.

Go out shooting, search your archives or spread the news about #NotALighthouseThursdayThisWeek  

Like the contributors of the last theme day who you can find in the attached circle.

Be prepared ...

I'm looking forward to your images.

Cheers
Heiko

Dandelion

An image of my little macro walk, when I was picking up my car from the garage and taking my new macro lens with me to capture some dandelions along my way.

No K I T C H E N stuff, but I so dearly wanted to take a dandelion image for such a long time that I couldn't resist posting this, now that I finally found one.

Hornet

Testing my new macro lens. It's amazing how close you can get with it. It can actually focus on a point 30mm away from the front lens. Much closer than I wanted to go on this huge bug.

It's #LighthouseThursday  No. 41

Last week I skipped the off-week because I attended a team convention and was busy all day and night. But this week is the on-week again and I hope you recovered from what ever you did in the night to May 1st.   ;)

Let's post lighthouse images like the 28 members of this circle did two weeks ago. Any image of a real lighthouse will do.

Cheers

Siblings

This was taken at the 1st holy communion of the little brother who was unpacking his presents after they returned home from church. He earnestly read every greeting card that came along with the gifts.
