The most engaged circle on the planet, fully curated for content!

Do you qualify?  Curation Info >>http://goo.gl/pRqyxR
Please answer (+1 your choice) the Poll in the 1st two comments

Quick start instructions:
➀  post a URL link to a recent G+ photo in the comments below,
➁  check out photos from others and +1 and comment on them,
➂  publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream (instead of ours)
➃  +1 this post to say "thanks", and add this circle  (replace it every week)

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other, indirect benefits, and is your choice!

Leaning Towers of Vegas

Posted on by

————————-
Having fun going through photos reminding me of all the great things I was able to experience at Photoshop World. Seminars were great, but I especially relished meeting wonderful friends from G+ finally In Real Life (IRL).
  This is from the pre-conference photowalk sponsored by +SmugMug and +PhotographersAdventureClub, led by +Michael Bonocore and other great folks.
  If it looks like the towers are leaning, it's not the wide angle lens… they were built that way, and they're named the  Veer Towers.

Try the new online editing tools!

I've always loved Snapseed on my mobile phone, but since all pics are auto-uploaded into G+, I really like having the ability now to use very similar tools within G+ to tweak these auto uploads.
  This is just a random image I took near my house, which was particularly difficult for my phone camera to handle the contrasts.
  I spent about 4 minutes with the new editing tools to do this.

Fog Rolling In

Really weird weather today… report said it would be in the 90s, but we topped out at 74… and it dropped into the 50s here by 7pm as a breeze started pushing in low clouds on our hill above the Napa Valley.

This is from my driveway (if you look closely at the bottom, you'll see our old TV antenna on the roof).

+Brian Matiash, I can see that I'll have a lot more fun playing with  #autoawesome  !
