    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

I stopped by my buddy Chuck's house yesterday. He gave me this cool LED light that he made. I found a good place for it. 👍
 
There's an owl that lives in a tall sycamore tree across the street. Last night we heard it's "hoo -hoo" call and tried to catch a pic of it, but to no avail. Too little light and poor photography skills, even with a DSLR camera. I went inside to get a tripod since the shutter was staying open so long and my wife gave up on the owl, turning to capture the nearly full moon. Just then, the owl flew right in front of her scaring the crap out of her.

 
Roger, night shots are touchy. I've spent considerable time with it. Its both infuriating, but wonderful when it works out. I love moonlight, and moon shots, but I try to add things besides just the moon for added interest. This was last night. Not great, but interesting enough in my opinion to share.

I think we're always a little too critical about our photos. Great shot Glen!

Thanks Sandy. I've come to notice that there are so many sunrise / sunset / moon pictures in circulation that its tough to make a standout image. Its fun trying though. And yes, I'm typically my worst critic. Recently I've been moving toward posting my pics without commentary and let them stand or flop on their own merit. I seem to have an atypical view on what's cool, interesting, etc.
 
Tricky indeed, Glen, to get the moon in the photo. Nice job there.

I asked my dad how to use the camera he gave me. His advice, point, click, experiment and maybe you'll get lucky. Thanks pop, not much help there. He's the one that when I asked for help growing up would say, did you read the manual? i'll look for one online and figure it out here soon. Maybe by the time the next super moon rises.
 
Well, Dad was partially right. I've learned the most in the last year with my new camera by using and experimenting. Reading helped to make sense of some things, but often after something went right... or wrong. Good thing with digital is there's no worry about wasting film so experimenting is free....

I've been taking mine to work regularly and stopping on my way home to grab pics, even if for only a half hour. It's been hugely helpful.
 
And a great way to unwind after work too I'm sure.

Man, the moon setting while the sun was rising this morning was incredible. I was on the road just wishing I could stop for that.
