Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

Edit: Hoi peeps!! We love all these photos and this post got WAY more popular than expected haha! We’re wanting to reply to everyone, but it’s gonna take some time - so we’re not ignoring you and if we accidentally miss you aaaaa we’re sorry (there’s just so much @w@)! Thank you again everyone, this has been lovely seeing all these cool af pics!! :D

Very nice. Hello from the Gold Coast.

Had to try the capabilities of a zoom lens :)

Edit: Haha, even the moon is upside down when seen from Australia... I mean of course, I just never thought of that

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

wait, REALLY?! Never thought about that

[–] noname98571@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Probably not all that unique, but it's pretty cool to me because I managed to get this handheld with manual focus.

The flower looks so perfectly shaped huuuhhhh x>

[–] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It did! It opened that same day

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Awe! That’s so sick!! We’re always too early or too late to see flowers bloom

I went to an art museum at the University of KY and saw this really cool piece. The artist finds old photographsof scenic places and then tries to find the exact location they were taken from. You can see that the rocks and everything still line up exactly with the newer photo.

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

holy shit thats such a cool idea, reminds us that we gotta go to another art museum sooner than later.

Took this photo just at the moment the bananaquit decided to fly off, which gave a neat view of its feathers

I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I know that pistaccio! I hope you didn't try any wines...

[–] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We didn't really do any drinking while we were there, what's wrong with their wines?

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Count yourself lucky. Southern New Mexico wines are without a doubt the worst, sweetest wines in the world. They get a little better in northern New Mexico, but still not quite good.

Went outdoor rock climbing this past weekend and a group brought their bearded dragon ("Chubby") up to the crag with them

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

OH MY GOSH!! Probably the best and most fitting name for such a cutie!! Glad you guys had a fun time rock climbing!!

[–] ajikeshi@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

just a pic of a plant from my balcony

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ooo what kind of plant is it? :O

[–] ajikeshi@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

acer palmatum atropurpureum

red leafed "fan" maple

when the leaves receive more and more sunlight in the summer the red leaves partially turn green as well

edit: sorry for answering so late :)
