    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.

Later, in parking lot, at the bike, that woman was walking right past me. I could not think of some way to say "Hey, I got you in some of my pictures, you wanna see my pictures?"

Got home last night and made the mistake of sitting down on the couch. We are going to Charmayne’s baby shower shortly where I’ll be taking pictures there as well. Hopefully I can spend time developing all 400 plus pictures tomorrow.

My wife likes to go to remote places and you can't get much more remote than Leslie Gulch in SE Oregon. 25 miles up a gravel road and about 10 miles long, it contains so many interesting rock formations that I shot over 100 photos in a day. We later went to the Steens Mts, and camped at Fish Lake.
 
Tried this on this bike . . . . . .

PS:
- Am liking the GX85
- early evening with slight overcast (when looking in proper direction) was great for photos.
- JPGs straight out of the camera.

I was showing 3 year old grandkid "look at the little hummingbird".
She said: "THats a big bug, Papa, a pokey bug, it can poke you, look at it's poker. Doesnt have pinchers, has a poker."
I said: : "look how it can fly in place, and fly backwards. Listen to it hum and buzz. THat is a little humming bird."
She said: "looks like a big bug. It is a bug."

I will admitt to getting annoyed with her.
I commented that is good to have self confidence, but said that we need to investigate this further, (meaning SHE needs to look into this) and sometimes we need to realize that our first thought may not always be correct, and we need to consult an authority on the subject. (In otherwords, she should not argue with me, I should know more than she does.)

Well, I looked into it more.

And, ah, um... if it has stripped wings or translucent wings that can see thru, it is a Hummingbird Moth

So, um, er, ah.... she was right. I was wrong.





On another note: Pic is from my new-to-me iPhone8. And it also had a one second vidio too. (and I have since figured out to to turn on or off that feature.)

2006 the edge of the eye of cyclone Larry scimmed Mission beach. At the time this was one of the largest cyclones to hit this area. Catagory 5 with some reports saying it dropped just below to a very high Cat 4

A few days later this went over carrying the top half of a power line tower. heard the choppa and seen what was going on. By the time i got my camera out the car had no time to do to much metering but got this anyways

Very cloudy for a week after the cyclone, done some light enhancements to help the contrast.

Had a Panasonic DMC-FZ5
F/4.5.....1/400.........ISO 80....72mm...........Pic has been cropped
