    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.

  • 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

Love this pic............The only thing that detracts is, it's not on the level cutting off the pot handle..........bird colours pop, especially the one near the pot.........Where are the likes.

Bit like the Aussie joke.

How can you tell when an Aussie is on the level.

Dribble comes out of both sides of the mouth

Tell the birds they probably dont want to go too much further north yet. If go to Michigan they will not find any open ground.

And they may not get along well with some of the other birds here

Nice.

How did you do the border (rope?) all around without that piece being completly seperate? Or is it remounted somehow?

Yes, do show us the full project.

.

Each plaque contains three separate pieces - the fretwork for the internal ring of the service's emblem, the middle ring with the United States (Fill in the service's name here), and the outside rope ring. Once the interior and middle pieces are cut, you cut all three apart then go back to cut the short lines that make up the rope's design.

Once everything is painted/stained, I'll place a colored piece of felt below the middle ring that will raise it about 1/8" and then place spaces under the internal ring to raise it as well. All pieces will be CA glued to a backer ring that will then be glued to the door.

Will then be even more impressive that what we have already seen ! Do show us.

Thanks. I felt better after taking these. I went out yesterday (Sunday) morning in a completely idyllic winter scene- light snow gently falling in wind free conditions, snow sticking to the trees and ground, and a generally serene vibe.
I thought I left with photography goodness, but would find out latest that I certainly did not.

The weather went from around 60? on Saturday to snow Sunday then cold and windy today. I figured maybe I?d check the other side of the reservoir. It?s supposed to be cold again tonight then begin to warm up a bit. I may try again tomorrow depending on where my day ends.
 
Did check to see if has been two weeks, and has been a month since I posted a beach-pier photo.

So.....

And later that same evening

And, then later yet that evening, twilight, after the pier catwalk lights and beacon lights came on, it looked quite different again.
But you have seen enough of those.


>>Later note: Yes, it has occured to me that I am capturing images of an interesting grand scene, and doesnt take much compositional nor photographic skills to get an interesting image. Biggest challange is just to be there on a good evening.
And Glen and others here are finding obscure settings in difficult circumstance to get a good image and yet produce remarkable great photos. Or notice notice something in an ordinary scene, and make an interesting photo with it.

I see you folks are still progressing along with some great photos as usual. Winter here started out great but the weather kind of sucks for taking photos. It warmed up, no new show, everything seems to look crappy and not much enthusiasm to get out and shoot. Having a blast going through years of old photos and slides though. Here's one I did back 1991 of a local band.
