    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

Great shots you guys, you've definitely have been a busy lot. Love following the photo a day series Bob.

You should be playing, LOL...Glen and I joined the forum at Cameraderie.org, and they have a lot of things going on. Also, a fairly strong mu43 section.

This challenge we are doing is their Single Lens 30 Day Challenge, which only happens every nine months.
We had to pick one lens/camera setup to use everyday for 30 days.
I am using my GX85 w/Canon FD 50mm f/1.4
And I believe Glen is using his new, (correction edit), GM-1, with a Panasonic 14mm f/2.5

Single lens challenge threads are here: https://cameraderie.org/forums/singl...hallenges.216/

The have separate threads for each day, another for discussion, another for out takes. Really is turning into a good time.

Bob, its the tiny GM 1, and your old 14mm prime lens. Its turning out to be a fun little unit despite not having the tilt screen.

Yeah, I looked over there when you mentioned it to Glen. Looks like a pretty good bunch and have to check it out further. Thanks for that. I like the idea of the challenge. Reminds me of one we did years ago with a camera club where we would pick a spot in the bush about 50 feet square and shoot there or picked a certain city block. Committing to shooting and posting everyday for a month would not work me. Heck, half of that time we'd out in the boonies with no wifi and quite often no cell service.
 
Just got home from spending few days in Utah. Man, now the desert in New mexico seems really bland. Utah is gorgeous!

You guys with the mad photo skillz could really have fun there.

Oh, I think you got a pretty good handle on collecting photons yourself....:cool:

Thanks, Bob. I really wish I'd brought a real camera, but the four year old cellphone did an OK job.

If you've never been, I'd highly recommend a visit to Moab.
 
Just got back from a week of Boy Scout Camp with my younger son, his and my last. He will age out next June. Camp Rodney in North East, MD is in its 99th year of operation. I didn’t take the good camera but still have a few pics that I think are worth sharing.

First pic is from opening night campfire. Camp Rodney has a great stage for this, the backdrop being the sun setting over the Chesapeake Bay. Tuesday night’s storm felled a tree that took out the stage and lots of benches. Lots of damage all over camp but the amazing camp staff worked hard all night so that programming could continue as normal.

Tuesday after the storm. Like it never happened.

Great pics, captures the best of what Scout camp is about. Dad was an assistant leader of a Troop in the Early 1960's, I have a few memories of being around them.
