Photo-A-Day April 2019

As a courtesy we ask that you keep your photos to under 640 pixels on the longest side. If you post a photo that is much larger than 640 pixels then it may be deleted from the thread. You can have your smaller photo link to a larger version but the embedded photos must be less than 640 pixels. If you need help on how to post a photo see below and read through the Forum Rules & FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

Please do not offer criticism of other's images unless specifically requested by the individual posting the photo. Criticism may be best accomplished by posting comments on Flickr or the OP’s photo posting source.

Please read the forum rules regarding the posting of images not suitable for family viewing.

Instructions on posting from Flickr are to be found here:

Thanks to the Z6, I now have a bird:

Heee @ggbutcher great photo, but how do you post this on PAD? There is no link to flickr, I'am very curious, because you have the solution to place without Flickr.

@Ton14 , I have my own web server. Not for the faint-of-heart...

Thought I'd post one of my Z6 HDR images for consideration:

I just turned it on, braced myself against one of the deck posts, and pushed the button.

@Ton14, didn't mean to be terse in my previous post, works like this: I pay $4US/month for a virtual server, on which I run Ubuntu Linux. It runs an Apache web server, and I have it configured to host pages from my home directory. So, I just made a directory called Individual_Pictures, and I ftp images to it for linking from forums like this. I am considering a Flickr account, though; I can't code up anything that looks as nice as that.

We've lived a few miles from the National Butterfly Center for almost 20 years and had not visited it until a couple of days ago. (I know, I know - Mooorrrrooon) It's apparently in the path of the "border wall." My not be here too much longer.

@ggbutcher thanks for the explanation, completely clear. I had a website, but the security became too complex for me. Now I use Lightroom, create a collection and can share it with whoever I want.

I hardly do this anymore, because everything you put on the net has been lost, that has not changed in the last 20 years.

The question for "PAD" is, how to "embed" a 640 x 640 max picture from something else then Flickr.

Not an especially pretty picture, but I'd never seen an icicle do this before:

Is it possible to capture BIF with a Z6? At the Carolina Raptor Center, one of my first attempts... with the 24-70/4. Not really that sharp, IMO, but certainly acceptable as a snapshot.
