    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've been enjoying the photos you guys post. Thank you for sharing them.

My wife is crazy about sunflowers. I stopped the other day after work and pulled several from the road side, roots and all, and tried to rehome them in our garden. Eight hours later they were toast. Literally, it's much warmer in Albuquerque than Edgewood where I pulled them, 30 miles East of town.

I think the green thumb skips a generation. My dad can grow darn near anything. Always asking me if I want peppers or tomatos or chiles or rhubarb.

Gustovh, is that stone arrangement under the sunflower marking a resting place for a family pet?
 
Gustovh, I love the sunflowers. One of my favorites.
Dave the overall color in your shots makes it look... cold.
 
Took the TuRD for a short jaunt into the mountains the other day. Had to get creative with some road clearing.

Then saw a herd of about 20 of these gals crossing the road in front of me.

I could sense someone to the left watching me and saw this guy ...pretty bird, I wonder what he was scheming up.

Thanks Rich. I think it's some sort of storm drain that drains into the ocean, or it may be connected to a large pond on the other side of the main drag by the beach. It's much longer then it looks in that zoomed in cropped pic. I dig the beacon light.
 
Thanks guys. I was incredibly pleased with these. Had a bunch of bad images due to having trouble with manual focus. Still trying to get accustomed to that, plus trying to focus a dark scene added to it.
I want to go back and try some more.
 
I really like both of those shots Glen. The low contrast almost mono colour and simple composition really worked for that one. Big expansive landscapes are my kind of thing. The other one with the ultra-long exposure is also pretty impressive and something I've been meaning to play around when I can find the proper subject.
 
Thanks Sandy, I finally took the advice of people smarter then me and changed the ISO from auto to 200 or as close to that as possible. It's taken away the handheld option in low light conditions, but the improvement in image quality is well worth the tradeoff.
