It’s great to see so many wonderful photographic art from the CALL group. Here is my first posting. I am greatly interested in portrait photography as an insights into the human experience.
I love the expressions Allan. The colour and the skin tones are really interesting. Great depth of field control.
Spotted the cabin…Taken many years ago
Converted from a slide
Wow, dramatic that sheer rock face.
Cold and rough weather yet the photo demonstrates that the hikers/climbers are so enamored with the experience that they take the time to observe and “point out” the wonder of the mountains. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
I think this photo broadly falls into the meaningful photo category. Shot this past Saturday chasing a subject for this photo challenge. I have been at this spot before but timed it this time for sundown period. It depicts three levels of the city. In the background are the gleaming downtown towers, middle ground is the industrial part represented by the train tracks area and the foreground is the un and under developed part.
F/6.3; 1/100 sec; ISO 100
ups! Posted photo unadjusted for parallax effect. Here is adjsuted one
Grass, light, buildings blending together really works to build a unique nature vs humanity perspective.
Vienna, this past June. Believe this is one that fits Rebecca’s description of a meaningful photograph
F/5.6; 1/100 sec; ISO 125
I love this scene, I’m immediately consumed with wonder, what the heck is everyone looking at with such intensity?

Happy times

Image is so sweet I may get a cavity.
Hahahahaha!
Love the comment Allan!

A delicate meditative observation. Thanks for sharing.
A Great Egret standing against the unusual reflections in the pond give this photo a light and ethereal feel. ISO1800 200mm f/6.3 1/3200s.
Love the colour and the abstract blocky ripple effect.
Wonderful image, the water has that incredible reflective color and painterly effect in the photo.

Great action shot.

Sunset in Magog, Quebec this fall…on our cycling trip
The sunset reflection is pretty incredible, and it was lucky to have the deck chairs there as well, to help frame it
I love the way the chairs seem to invite the viewer to take in this beautiful scene.
Cycle path near Chambly, Quebec.
I like the curvy path, with the rippled cloud reflection
Walking the dog as close as I get to the larch valley.

Stunning yellow and blue shots! (Apparently impossible to replicate the real blue in the sunflower shot.) Yes Henri, the sky with the larch is the true colour of sky in Alberta! From the AI summary on Google:
Alberta features a distinctly crisp, intense quality of light and an expansive, deep-blue sky that sets it apart from most of Canada. High elevation and low humidity allow for pure Rayleigh scattering—where nitrogen and oxygen molecules perfectly scatter short-wavelength blue light.
We had an amazing sunset the other night and I couldn’t resist a few pictures from my balcony shooting straight west. I reduced the size to fit this page. Settings were: F5.6, S 1/125, ISO 1000, FL 170mm, Matrix Metering.
Beautiful sunset – looks like one of our many recent chinook days. I worked a few days a week at the Herald as a copy editor (3-10 pm) for seven years and the newsroom was lucky to have a huge balcony facing west. We always marvelled at the incredible chinook sunsets.
Meaningful to me: Our tree-lined street and our boxer and tortoiseshell cat, who both died years ago. He was 10 and she was 20. She often followed the dog around the block on our walks. All my life I’ve lived with a cat and/or a dog and the house doesn’t seem like a home without them. Our solution is to board dogs, mostly for the company, but also for the forced walks.
Oops forgot the settings
ISO 400, 50 mm, f/4.5, 1/30 s
Love this photo….very touching, indeed. Especially knowing the story. Thanks for sharing that ❤️🩹

Aww thanks Brent🤠
Another meaningful to me photo, from a trip earlier this year to visit my daughter in London. We are best friends and always take selfies on our various outings and trips. While on the tube we noticed our distorted faces in the opposite window. She tends to ham it up and this was the perfect opportunity.

Having fun with a friend and photography, nice to share and enjoy.
