    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 Ohio State Highway Patrol was at Mid-Ohio last weekend.
I like talking to them when we're not on the side of a Highway.
They had a recruitment booth set up.
I really liked their BMW. 20230722_125812~2.jpg
 
Wow Bob, that great. I love the color and perfect focus on the flower. Is this with the new 9mm lens?

Thanks.
Nope, not the 9mm. It was my 60mm Macro. I took dozens of it with the 9, but never got one that made me happy.
This morning I noticed that flower was gone, but one of the other buds was opening, so maybe I'll get another chance...
 
Bike and pic belonged to

My first landlord when I first moved to K.C/ independence area
He along with his son are responsible for leading me to my first gs, and gsresources website.
The landlord passed away few years back , but his son sent emailed me pics, they are Polaroid pics , son just used his phone and sent them...so quality isn't great.
Son said pic is probably late eighties?

Those are great shots, Skull.....That Panasonic FZ camera does well. I have an FZ8, that I found at a resale shop for $15. Maybe I should use it more.

these are old pics. Yea that camera did some amazing stuff for a 6.5mp. In the days before all the unnecessary features to take away the quality of the pic.

Unfortunately this dumbass got distracted and left the camera, ( in its case), on my ute tray overnight and a light shower damaged the view screen.

My Canon18mp isn't as good
 
Similar to Dave's shot but without the fun shadows. Also for the last two summers we've been dealing with Cicada Killers setting up shop in the gaps in the patio stones - they dig holes in the dirt. They are a large wasp, but generally harmless. . While shooting this pic I noticed them going after the bees.
