    A note to new registrants...

    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

Looks like it was a little windy...
I walked by our town's T ball field a few weeks ago. It's in an out of the way corner in town that I haven't been to in years. The feeling of times gone by was immediate and profound.

and a faster lens is better at that.
Glen, I am sure you are well familiar with this.


I did this as a study the other day, with 45mm f/1.8
At full stopped down (f/22) on top, more depth of field so foreground and background in focus.
And at wide open (f/1.8) on bottom, with shallower depth of field (as described decades ago, have a new name for it these days) so background is out of focus, on purpose.

Will be back when in bloom in a few day, maybe get focus better on the flowers.
Is in a little wood lot behind the back yard.

Kind of a cloudy, rainy day today but took my new to me Panasonic GX85 out for a 10 km hike today anyway. I think I'm going like this camera. First photo on the camera by the way.

Sandy, it looks like you're off to a great start. Enjoy the new camera. I love those low views with a lot of foreground.

Impressive photo of a great scene.
I am imagining you trying to figure all the new settings and features and function, while also walking out on those stones.

LOL. I actually ended up sitting on one the rocks which was a great vantage point until I had to figure out how to get my almost 70 year old body back up while holding the camera in one hand, pack in the other and trying not to fall in. Should have maybe thought of that before I sat down. Getting old ain't for sissies.
 
Nice. I do like how early spring flowers stand out with their bright colors against an often bland background still wearing dull winter colors.
