    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.

Intersting group shot, with the car and all.
I wonder if you recall if you directed them all to look over there, and some looked the other way, or what.


Hey, there is a lilley.... of some sort.

I took quite a few shots with different poses. Ones with everyone out of the car and ones with everyone sort looking in the direction of the camera and ones with them playing instruments. This seemed to be the favourite. They had most of the input as they were the artsy fartsy type.
 
I was able to take the Kawasaki out for it's first ride last Monday. The main road were mostly dry, but a lot of gravel to watch out for. Reving out 1st 2ed and 3rd gear sounds awesome! With its lower seat and light weight, it fits me perfectly!

I have fond memories of the darkroom.... despite the smell of fixer...
Click to expand...

I always wanted a proper darkroom, but was never really in a position to build one.
Ironically, the advent of digital re-awakened my interest in film and for the past 15 years or so I've been developing B&W films using changing bags and daylight tanks, to good effect.
It suddenly struck me a few months ago that I have the perfect place to make a darkroom from scratch, above the workshop, on the mezzanine floor. It's just used for storage of boxes and other crap, so a few square feet won't affect it. Power is already run around the mezz, and water / drainage is easy.
Hmm...
 
I could yack and tell long story, but this picture of daughter & SIL tells a story by itself.

The SIL looks like he has surprized himself by enjoying the dip.. can't imagine he could be though. :)

February in the boreal forest of northern Sk.

 
DaveR that is a beautiful picture of serenity.

Many years ago I had a darkroom setup in my parents laundry room. Buying the enlarger was the biggest cost. I found a used one in the local newspaper want ads - a tell of how long ago it was. I still have everything, but little desire to set it back up, but in these days of easily adapting weird lenses to modern cameras, I?m more then tempted to adapt the enlarger lens to my camera.

Great in multiple ways.

Gee, and all the times I have been standing next to 1300ft of churning water (lake michigan pier) . . . . and I have nothing featuring the water action.
Click to expand...

This was an outflow from a local lake. There was enough height difference and narrowness to make for some fast moving water and small wave action. I?m finding that with the days getting longer I can use the F1.7 lens wide or nearly wide open and use a fast shutter to capture some interesting shots. I did have a bunch of pics from this walk with very overexposed highlights though.

Drove over to the Elk and Bison range at the Land Between the Lakes Sunday but the Elk and Bison were hiding in the woods. Had to settle for some landscape shots.
