Who do you recommend for printing photo books? Do you use local or online-only printers? I found this Colorado-based printer and though they're a little pricier than some, it looks like they may do quality work. Anyone else used them before? https://www.artifactuprising.com/ Thanks in advance!

Tried to do a pro shot of this 'French Apple Cake' I made yesterday (my mom's recipe which I've been testing and modifying - this one came out the best!). I used diffused natural light on this, DIY style, by putting the cake on a white table out on the balcony in the sun and suspending a...

Autumn Rain Passimg by Amy Earl posted Mar 27, 2020 at 10:06 PM 'Autumn Rain Passing' - took this from the horse pasture overlooking the village after a rainshower in November 2018.

I thought it time to give this subforum some love :) Taken last September, just getting around to editing this one tonight as I might be using it in a mini-calendar that I'm ordering for my sister's birthday. Horsetail by Amy Earl posted Mar 21, 2020 at 7:25 PM ...An alternative title could...

Did a hike on snowshoes on Sunday. Gorgeous weather! I couldn't decide whether I liked color or b&w better, so here are both :) Prarion by Amy Earl posted Mar 17, 2020 at 10:04 PM Prarion (B&W) by Amy Earl posted Mar 17, 2020 at 10:04 PM

On Monday I had to do the grocery shopping which is never very exciting and which requires driving 25 minutes down the valley. It was typical moody March weather with passing showers and I hoped I would be rewarded on the way back with some interesting end-of-day light and clouds. Well, I got...

There was a spring snowstorm last year on May 5th. It was real windy. I ran out to the field where the apple trees were all in bloom and captured some shots of them getting covered by the driving snow. The spring flowers thread reminded me about these shots that I never cropped quite the way I...

This is from last May on another hike in the Alps. This place has a pretty wild feeling when you get up in altitude and I tried to capture that in this photo. I liked the shadows that the clouds were making on the snow. Contamines Montjoie by Amy Earl posted Mar 5, 2020 at 10:50 PM Here's a...

From a really cool little hike last Friday, this is looking south at the Aravis range which is running nearly in the same direction (north-south, angling west slightly). If this were a clear day the Mont Blanc range would have been visible in the background. The tall point is the Pointe Percée...

Here is Part II of my series of Wellington's southern coastline. We lived in Island Bay in 2015 and this was certainly our favorite spot on the coast. We also had the best apartment, a self-contained unit made from a converted garage. It was practically on the water and you could hear the waves...

I've been perusing photos taken in 2017 around Wellington, New Zealand where I lived for almost 3 years with my husband. Makes me miss it. Wellington is on the southern coast of the North Island. At sunset you can glimpse mountain peaks on the South Island across the strait. The small village...

I shot this mushroom in the woods around where I grew up in New Hampshire. Only in post-processing did I notice the tiny little mushroom next to it which luckily happened to be fairly in focus too. The cap of the "big" mushroom is no more than 2" / 4cm wide! Mushroom Close-up (New Hampshire) by...

My husband kicking up fresh snow last winter :) Fresh snow by Amy Earl posted Feb 25, 2020 at 2:44 PM

Early last spring I went to Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval with my husband and a Dutch couple who were visiting us to explore "le Bout du Monde" (the End of the World), the steeply enclosed valley with a plenitude of waterfalls that Terry posted a splendid photo of recently. That weekend was overcast and...

We've had record-breaking warm temperatures this winter in France. The prolonged lack of snow in the Alps has disappointed everyone. People from all over the country book ski resorts well in advance for this time of year (schools are on vacation now). The landscape is pretty sad for photography...

Back in December we snowshoed in the valley called Sallanches which isn't too far from Chamonix and other popular places in the Alps. It offers a nice view on the Mont Blanc massif. I had initially thought to discard this shot and the others in this series, but after revisiting it recently and...

This is a different edit of the same tree photo I posted in Landscape recently but which I thought also looked nice like this with a pulled-back crop to show the layers of mist in the field. In B&W the rays falling next to the tree jump to the eye more readily as well. Actually I guess these...

These are from a walk in late November at sunrise. I love how beech leaves hang on late into the winter and turn golden when the sun hits them. I took so many shots that morning that culling the folder is daunting, but I finally got around to these edits. Got a couple more to share when I get...

Hi all, I revisited some photos I took one misty morning last October here in France. My husband and I were heading out early on a 6-hour roadtrip. One minute down the road, I noticed this field filled with mist, so I made us stop so I could take pictures for a good 20-30 minutes. He made good...
