    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

THat could be in "went for a ride".
You rode out the storm.

And the bike took a nap during the storm. Good that no damage.

.

On further inspection the brand new brake lever is scratched and there is some damage to throttle rubber and foot peg rubber and possibly three small spots on the tank (like match head sized and not through the base paint).

I was going to go for a ride, but 43m/s wind and a news report of a caravan being blown away spooked me. Wonder if Im getting old, or if the weather is really bad.
 
Need to change the name of this thread from "Random" to "Spectacular Photo Thread." :cool:
 
Yes, of course you are right. I looked at it again and noted how painterly the reflection in the water is. Then the wiggly lower sides of the posts confused me until it occurred that the waterline is actually half way up. One of the best images posted here, ever, imho. Congrats.
 
Another from this morning. Its cropped quite a bit and I had to tweak the contrast due to the heavy fog. It wasn't intended to be a picture of the fisherman, but the trees that I cropped out. When I zoomed in on the image after transferring it to my phone, I really liked the fisherman's silhouette.

well my roses are at it again, the first of over 30 buds. Probably the tallest sunflower I have ever seen, over 12 feet high.

Lake is rough today because had been windy most of the night and this morning. Went to beach-pier to see the waves at the pier, took camera (for first time in months). Not so windy when I was there late afternoon but lake still rolling, and unusually warm (mid-low 70s degF) for this late in September.

Lot of people down there, so I included them in some shots, hey, they are part of the scenery. (I was intending for the people to be more silhouette.)

I thought I had developed a way to not be so obvious about taking pic of certain people. Kinda aim off in one direction, then scan across, stopp and click off a few shots, then scan across some more. Then walk over to somewhere else.

Took a few of this guy with metal detector. Then moved to somewhere else. A little bit later there is someone standing next to me and he is holding a metal detector. He asked if there was anyway I could get him some of the picture of him. I said, well, let me show you first, then see if you are still interested. So I scrolled thru the 4 or 5 shots of him. Man, the guy was so excited, exclaimed about having the waves and the pier in the background.

Was good to get out for a ride, and a little photo expedition with the camera (micro FourThirds camera with adapted 70mm from my SLR days). Pics may have been more interesting if closer to sunset with more color, but was a thick overcast so I suspect wasnt going to be much of a sunset.

Colder and rainy next week, so will not be the people there.

"again", meaning first time this year? or multiple times this year?

Yah, Tall sunflowers!
