Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Pic of the week game

Let me say that I thought that Mr bccap's cityscape would have got more attention, as it showed the city where he lives, and the row of buildings were well illuminated and in a stark row.
I say this as a reminder to everyone that the sample picture provided by the person naming the subject-theme-category is also a submission.

Agreed Dave.
bcccap, I found your photo was well composed, and very interesting. But that trash can???? :p
I hope you continue to play.
 
Fun game. Lots of variety. This one was shoe-in for burque until it wasn't!

Here's where we are for 2019:

That was really fun watching the vote count and I thought for sure Dorkburger would get the burden, ahem... I mean honor, of choosing the next one. BTW my wife really liked that pic from you, Glen.

Thanks to all who voted for mine. I got out before sunrise to get some pics. Let me sort through them and I'll be back soon to post one.
 
Here's a pic I took this morning from a fun perspective. That's this week's theme, a fun perspective.

 
I'm not sure if I understand the theme this week...but something that was fun for me and I' never forget, was the day that my son and Wes Cooley goofed around on my Wes Cooley... :)

 
I thought this was funny and pertinent to this week's theme.



As defined by Google...
per?spec?tive
/pərˈspektiv/

a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view

Darn, I just realized how similar this is to Kerrfunk's recent "point of view" theme.

A different perspective that produces a fun effect.
Stand a ways back, zoom in, at just the right time of day and time of year and place to have the sun directly behind the bike.

Well, stand a ways back and kneel down.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I hope that Dave (Redman) is flattered. Great minds think alike, I guess. I honestly got this image in my head when this week's theme was announced. I was just waiting for the right night to do it. For what it's worth, I like Dave's better. He captured a gorgeous sky. I took a series of shots within seconds of each other to capture this one. The streak in the sky was only in this shot. So I can only assume that I captured a shooting star (meteor) and not a jet trail. I never saw it until I loaded the pics on my computer.
