    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.

When i first came on the site flicking through the threads and found this one i was quite excited to see a bunch of people showing off their photography.

No offense Intended Dave. You were posting a lot of the pier around the sunset at the time and the thought did go through my mind, how many shots of the same thing that are so similar not get a bit boring.............Fast forward to almost a year since i came on here............Now after seeing the variety and changeable scenarios of the pics, and also the effort and risk of self harm to get the pics, you have an eye for the dramatic that showcases the pier in all its glory and anger.

Great photography. this last one with the icicles is the best one i have seen with the framing including the support structures in tunnel formation.

Stay safe getting these.

It also reminds me of where i grew up underneath a mountain. Saw the same thing every day but very seldom were there 2 days, where the mountain looked the same

I'm going to post some older pics of a mountain, (Mt Taranaki), i lived under, for the first 35 years of my life. This was an unusual set of pics because the cloud was higher than the mountain and when the sun set it reflected the shadow of the mountain up onto the clouds. What was also unusual was the 2 layers of clouds so far apart in height. The second can be seen just above the hills.

Used to get some great sunsets and this evening was a bonus with the clouds being so high Taken on 35mm film with an old Minolta ST101 camera about 40 years ago. scanned old photos and they show their age/damage.

Mountain is 8,260ft and is the second most cylindrical mountain in the world after Mt Fuji. Pics taken from our homestead, about 10 miles as the crow flies, to the base of the mountain

Thanks gentlemen. Rusty, I didn’t find it creepy in the least. The fog was so thick and it was so quiet that it was like a blanket of tranquility. It was a bit surreal.

Glen I hope you didn't take my comment in a negative way. That's not at all how I meant it. Maybe creepy wasn't the correct word to use...haunting...or atmospheric may be more accurate. In any case I really, really like the photo.
 
Absolutely no offense taken. We all interpret things differently, and absolutely, that could as easily have a creepy vibe.
 
Yep, looks like a whole house stereo/intercom, they were all the rage in new homes in the 60's. Very rare to find a functional unit these days.
 
Exactly Grimly.
The alert organic trike awaits the imminent arrival of something unknown. A suspenseful pregnant pause with a sense of foreboding.
When an image produces a response beyond an appreciation of its graphic and technical properties it enters the realm of art. I think.
