    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Random Photo thread

(wow, was hard to find this tread.)
(Oh, I was last to post, early January, ew,,,,, maybe I should take a hint...?...)

Trying to get a shot of near full moon low in sky including lighthouse/pier, which presents an exposure difficulty due to differeing light intnesity of moon and pier/lighthouse lights. Moonset.
So, I tried HDR, without having much expereince/understanding of what/how it does.
CAmera went click and then click, and I hurridly grabbed tripod to move to another location. ....

, even though had shutters speed less than a second, apparently the camera was not done doing whatever it was doing.

I now uderstand that in HDR the camera actaully takes three exposures of diffeent exposure setting, and then processes them together and records it as one file.
Seems like maybe I was moving the camera during one or two of the three.

I can explain the dashed red line as being the LED beacon on the other lighthouse, being LED it actaully strobes real quick (60hz? 120hz) that cant see with eye. ANd I can somewhat explain the white streaks as being the catwalk lights. But I dont understand the dark streaks thru the white streaks. And I dont understand the red marks in the white streaks.

Wow Dave, that is really cool!
It would be neat to have a poster of it on the wall.
 
This popped up on my Facebook memories, Brown County Rally, 2007. Jeff Stanley in front, me in the Yellow helmet. Rodney Foster (Oramac) was in the rear. This was me and Rodney's first time at the BC get together.

Barn shot 2020 by Scott Marvin, on Flickr An old Kentucky Tobacco barn taken back in 2020. From the size of the tree in front of the door, it has been decades since it has been used for it's intended purpose.

Old industrial building that was renovated into offices.
THis gear on display outside, with reflective windows nearby.
Someone told me this gear was part of the original elevator/hoist/something, and the new building owner had the tradesmen on site for the renovation fabricate a mounting for it in the court yard.
 
I helped a coworkers family from Argentina move across town from a temporary house to a permanent home a few weeks ago with use of a friends box truck .

They gave me gas money and fed me and I was glad to do it.

To my surprise they called me at home and said they had something for me and wanted to stop by.

Pretty cool
The little girl of the family made it !
