    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.

Random Photo thread

The wind did some raking here yesterday. We're mostly finished now. Bob, did you hit that tree trunk with a bit of flash, or is that natural? Either way, I like it. I have a tough time with that type of composition.

No flash, but I brought up the shadows a little in Lightroom....
Thanks, although I think the similar one I did a year or two back was better...
 
Thanks. I've passed that spot countless times over the last 12 years going to a couple of jobs in the area. Yesterday morning it looked lovely with the yellow leaves so I stopped by after work.
 
Whheeew Glen!
THe camera, the frosty leaf, the waterfall.
All very nice, each exhibiting many and varied skills, artistic and technical. Impressive.

Been wanting to shoot the moon for a while. Last night it was asking for it.

Camera, what lens ?
Or photo adapter on telescope ?

Canon 60d camera body with a Sigma 150-300mm lens. I used a corded remote to eliminate camera shake.
I don't have any editing software on my computer so I did some light editing on my phone to bring out some of the definition.
Here's a direct link. May help if you want to see it blown up a little more.

EDIT: I broke down and downloaded Lightroom onto my PC.

Thanks Glen. That waterfall shot of yours is fantastic. I'm under the impression you brought your shutter speed way down in order to get the water to look like that?

Yes, the dance between a slow enough shutter sped to blur the water, but fast enough not to overexpose or have camera shake. I?d have liked to do it on a tripod to get more blur, but I don?t bring it to work, plus I was standing on the edge of a ( lightly traveled) road.
