This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

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.

For closeup shots lately I have been trying longer lenses.
THis is with Oly FourThirds 70-300 f/4-5.6 adapted for MicroFourThirds camera. Is kinda soft focus (or maybe is shake, was a bit breezy), but got better depth of field and I didn't have to hunch over to get as close as when using adapted manual 50mm (f/3.0) macro.
Will try some more.

You might ask: Why have FourThirds lens adapted for MicroFourThirds?
ANswer is: can find in used market for 80-90-100$ and has the automatic functions (focus, exposure), and is not 3-4-5 hundred$

Love the pic of the hometown mural, Scott.
Never been a fan of the Orange Buffoon, but If you look at the two vertical stains with a forward hash mark towards the right of picture, view down a bit, you'll see a mug shot.
No "tears in his eyes" though.
