    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.

From time to time the camera model comes into discusssion.... and some folks, what software they use.

Most of my shots posted here will be from camera. Most bike/roadside shots in other sections will be cell phone.
 
Saw this famous Tank Engine today, at a rest stop on his way to Baltimore to delight thousand of kids (and cause their parents to spend a bunch of cash). My boys were big fans (so was I). Took them both to see Thomas when they were 3 or 4. Had a real nice collection of wooden track and a bunch of Thomas’s friend too. Good to see him still making the rounds.

My older grandkids liked Thomas the train characters when they were little. The younger ones are more into monster trucks and anything that can connect to WiFi....



No wonder the birds out back go through so much food. They've got help.

Found these jellybeans in a stump in my back yard, and it's not even Easter!
I think they might be future black-capped chickadees.

Somewhere in internet land there is a meme with a similar picture saying something about Thomas being kidnapped and taken to an undisclosed location....
 
Been quite quite a while since I posted a pier/beach photo. Have been going once a week or so. Sure was different the other day to be there in near 80 degrees temperatures instead of 18 or 28 or 38 degrees.

That day Had been mostly sunny all day, so thinking could be good sunset, then got overcast in evening, but I went for ride and swung by beach about 30 minutes before sunset. Heavy overcast, could not even see where sun was. But I walked to beach waters edge anyway. Then sun came out from behind darker clouds, and shining thru some overcast and made some color.

And in about 2 minutes, sun faded away in overcast, no color art sunset time, no twilight color.

Goes to prove again, cant really predict the sunset, Just have to go there.
Doesnt take a lot of talent to get a fairly decent photo if its a good sunset, but do have to be there.

On the first pic, I did clean up (paint,net, clone paintbrush) a couple sensor dust spots, and rotate (1.5degrees) to get the horizon horizontal.
 
Well, that's bad news. I'm relying on you all for some decent pix! (even if I had a real camera and skill to use it, "astronomy" is a joke here particularly this spring )
