"A PHOTO EVERY FRIDAY" - Let's try it.
Let's try a new NT feature, one that invites any/all members to post ONE PHOTO EVERY FRIDAY any subject, edited/Photoshopped, or, as is from the camera.
It's not a contest not competitive in any way just a chance to share pictures.
Captions and related information can certainly appear with each photo.
Critiques regarding the photos can be requested but that's strictly up to the photographer and comments in general are welcomed as in all discussions and they will certainly add to the feature.
One photo every Friday. Whaddya' say?
See you tomorrow.
Post this Friday's images in THIS DISCUSSION tomorrow Friday.
Every week every Friday I'll post a new discussion requesting photos.

See you tomorrow like starting 3 hours, 44 minutes from now.
It's been Friday where I am for 8 1/2 hours already, but to keep it proper I'll wait to post.
Let's call it Friday, 12:01 AM Eastern Standard (or Daylight Savings) Time, Buzz.
I'll try to! I'm still trying to find the cord of the camera. My wonderful Nikon was stolen, so I'm using my husband's and I don't like it 1/2 as well... Plus, he didn't have a cord that fit, so I had to order one. All the cords are in a giant tangle, so maybe I can sort them out...
This sounds like fun!
How about up to 5? Sometimes one photo doesn't tell the story.
tomato - tomatoes
photo - photos That can't be right. Shouldn't it be photoes?
Just one per person this time we'll go for stories and other challenges down the road. I want to see if we can get this going.
Just got there now Mac. This week's photo is an easy choice, since, on Wednesday morning we got a little bit of sunshine on the leaves, and I happened to have the camera with me.
It is said that to know China, one must climb The Great Wall, watch the Peking Opera and eat Peking Duck. In my first year in China I travelled to Beijing during Christmas and did those three things. This is a photo I took while watching the Peking Opera. It is a very noisy event with the actors screeching and the traditional instruments banging and blaring, but it is interesting to watch.
Exotic picture! I haven't ventured out today, yet... But am looking forward to it!
Thanks MIG for an interesting image and narrative. The supplemental videos are also welcomed. I still have my Lionel trains from the early 1950s.
The video on the model trains was awesome! How on earth did he get the rocks to look so realistic? That was great! It was even "aged" in spots! What fun! I love model trains...
Buzz,
Beautifully colorful and interesting photo; I like the narrative which adds to the visually rich interest.
By the way, did you receive the items I sent?
Thanks HAL! Great color and iconographically fascinating content.
Kavika,
The ionized atmosphere following many storms yields colors with tones and intensities not otherwise seen. Nice silhouetted foreground adding great contrast and drama!
Beautiful!!
Great color, TTGA and well-composed with excellent exploitation of the rule-of-thirds!
I love reflections in lakes and streams.
Thanks, Mike! We have a railway museum in KY, and it's great! They have a dinner train ride that's a lot of fun!
They also have a museum of model trains, and that is also a blast!
How neat! They are so cute!
Golly! He has a long neck!
Wow. That looks other-worldly! I love it!
I bet that is granite, along a fault...
Truly beautiful!
Well, I'm not going to make it out today to photo-shop, other than to a ballgame tonight, where I'll be helping with the concession stand. So, like many of you, I went back to the archives, and found a picture that I worked on a bit.
This is Chief Whitepath, who died of illness and hunger at Hopkinsville, KY, on the Trail of Tears. This statue was made to commemorate those who died in Kentucky on their long march to Oklahoma. I call this picture, "Endless Sorrow". More info, here.
A most interesting image LR; thanks for your contribution.
Dowser,
There's no cutoff date or look-back period on photos. Thanks for both the photo and the history!
Feronia,
Long time no see. This is a great photo in every respect -- and from a mobile!
Meep meep.
Many thanks Grump!
Dowser,
I did take the picture but it's not my
FAULT.
LOL!
That just looks real blocky to me... Probably not! But it looks like the side of a block fault mountain... Sure is pretty!
That is beautiful! So pretty!
I can see why the Scottish people wanted to settle in Appalachia-- it's so much like home!
Good to see you again Feronia - you have been missed.
Taken 10-17-2014 Colorado Fall Colors
Taken from my front door looking south west.
-Did that one with my phone,,,lol
Photo taken July of 2013, in northern Minnesota. The first 30 miles of the Mississippi runs due north, then 100 miles east before it start it's southern journey to the Gulf of Mexico.
Thanks Hal
I did forget ABSOLUTELY PHOTO EVERY FRIDAY IS ON!
'Gettin' old and forgetful I am.
Mike,
That photo is a gem!
Bravo!
Kavika,
Break out the fly rods and the Griffith Gnats!
Hey NT photographers! Thank goodness for Hal's memory!
Bring on your pix!
And Mike,
Especially when you post a great photo (or any for that matter), somewhere on or near the photo, place a copyright notice ( ). While there's no guarantee that someone won't copy it and take credit for it even sell it should that happen and you discover it's happened, you can produce a date stamp and the fact that you own the image's rights.
Some years, my biggest sale is one collected from an individual or publisher who pirated one of my pictures. Fortunately, the agencies representing my work have law departments and track visitors to sites on which my pictures appear.
Fascinating and surrealistic Hal!
Photos can certainly be edited and manipulated on "A Photo Every Friday."
Great "genre" image, Buzz.
Leading lines very compelling to the viewer.
Just a mile or so outta town on a gravel road. Just an ol' piece of farm equipment; but,such acartoon-like changing perspective when ya drive by it, as the wheels and tines merge then seperate , then merge....
This reminds me of true mid-summer warmth, vibrancy and serenity.
(as always, clicking on the image renders a better picture)
Interesting "sculpture," Larry. It indeed looks cartoonish.
Did you use an infa-red filter to take that shot, A.Mac? It has the feeling of an Ansel Adams photo.
Mike,
If you have image-editing software, one that allows "layers" or text overprinting, it's quite easy. If not, placing the copyright notice as if it were a caption will do the job.
I can see your photo as a book cover, greeting card, calendar page with or without text. I'd be happy to copy your photo and show you an example with your consent of course.
I used a circular polarizer and darkened the sky digitally. Ansel Adams did his modifications in the traditional dark room he used "dodging" and "burning" techniques to alter his negatives then printed them in ways that also modified.
God only knows what he'd have done in a DIGITAL DARKROOM!
Ha, I know that one!
)))
Well, I'm running late. As usual.
This is an interesting picture, not one of beauty. The picture is one of a pump-- the bowls of a pump, to be exact. The red goo is iron bacteria. Iron bacteria is an aerobic bacteria that eats the iron that is dissolved the water, and forms loooong, gooey strands of snot-like bacteria bodies. When a well is infested with iron bacteria, it stops up the pump, the screen, and the formation.
Lots of things have been tried to reduce the effects of iron bacteria, but nothing, absolutely nothing, really helps. You can inject chlorine at points around a well, at some horrendous cost, and within 6 months, the well is pumping snot again, until the motor burns up. This was in Lincoln, Illinois, at a job site, in 1984. If you pull a pump and it looks like this, abandon the well. Wear glove when you touch the goo, too. It's some really nasty stuff!
Such a sweet face, dear Neetu!
Beautiful!
It look almost prehistoric... I love it!
Horror movie stuff? It looks really neat! It reminds me of that old ROC commercial-- where ROC heals the lines in your face! I tried it, and sure it does. Your face is smooth as marble. And it feels that you can't "crack" a smile...
Whatever it is that they're eating, I want some...
Beautiful! I want to walk down this path...
Dowser,
If the bacteria are aerobic, why not install the pumps in some sort of a vacuum sleeve from which air is pumped out regularly?
It appears this dog could talk, or at least communicate via facial expressions.
A nice picture that freezes a moment in time.
Thank you, dear Dowser, Daffy does have a very sweet face.
Thanks, Mac. That is what my family feels about Daffy. Her face conveys
Buzzzzzzzz, that is so like a picture I have of a street vendors in Delhi, India! Just the faces have different racial characteristics. Very nice photo! And I even learned from Mac's comment below the name for an image like this.
Very cool, Larry! I like the image.
It even has an element of surrealism, in my opinion. At least, my first glimpse made me think that.
There is oxygen dissolved in the water that they use. It sounds so simple to fix, but it isn't. Chemical treatment plans just don't work. Once there is an infestation, about all you can do is abandon the well. There is currently no way to design a well so that the infestations don't occur.
Not with existing equipment, anyway.
Heck, what happened to the rest of my sentence above?? I have been having trouble posting comments this morning.
The sentence should have been "Her face conveys a myriad expressions that we can easily read. It looks as though words are lurking right behind them and if she could, she would talk."
Yup, Neetu. You have stood under that portico. It's a beautiful, inviting place.
That posting problem is driving me crazy - I have to delete my chopped off comment and reboot the article to try to post again. Sometimes I just give up.
Been happening to me too, Buzz, if that is any he
Ha, see, it did!!!
Yeah its been quirky lately. I copy every comment I write before hitting "Add Reply," that way when a 50 word comment is posted with just the first word, I can paste it in and try again.
