North of Hood River, Or. actually. One summer when my mom was visiting I took her up there. I took the picture from the seat of the pick up on a one way road that was on the water's edge. I have a tripod with a real nice SLR now. I bought it all when I sold my blue car, just haven't used it much, still find myself using the trusty old Olympus.
Oh yeah, Happy Belated Birthday ck1.

I do not know how they got it in there. It was in a crawl space that could only be accessed through a 24"X 24" door in the bathroom. There wasnt any room anywhere in the house. That house was packed with enough junk to fill 6 of those giant dumpsters that you see at construction sites. And that was just the house. Ther garage had enough to fill 3 or 4 of those dumpsters. Not to mention the stuff in the yard.
And that was how the last people to live there lived. With all that stuff in there
we had a house like that in Preston WA. on park property, fire department just used it as practice and burned it! funny they never tried to put it out :icon_smile_cool:
These were taken about a month or so ago. I was driving my son to the doctors, came into a little town called "Troy" (Idaho) happened to glance at the top of a cliff above the highway and seen this moose. Turned around, parked and noticed she had a baby with her. You can see it in the 2nd picture, laying down. It surprised me how close they were to the highway, let alone so close to town!

The fire department did practice on this one but they just cut holes in it. They nearly had to call an ambulance out cause 2 guys were carrying another out and they fell down the porch steps and the one in the back fell over the other 2 and landed square on his head.
we started a garden yesterday, some pictures today, didn't see any elk on the way home, which is rare :rotz:

Good answer, but it's on the east coast. It's an old fort in South Jersey. It was built to fend off incoming ships. There's some cannons around, but I didn't get any pictures. Imagine trying to nail a ship with a cannon ball? Talk about luck if you actually hit one.

They are pretty safe to drive on, even though I think they try to limit it nowadays. They have been keeping them up due to the tourist attraction they've become. I few years ago, a couple of them were set on fire by an arson. No one has been caught for it and no one knows why they were burned, very tragic and pathethic.

Took these on a business trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
And a side trip to Todos Santos, Mexico. Supposedly the inspiration for the Eagles song Hotel California with the Tequila Sunrise across the street. I suspect it may be the other way around.

OK if meat is frozen, let it thaw out a little but not all the way, deer is very tender," tell you cook it wrong", and is easier to cut partly frozen. Cut it about 2 to 3 inch lengths about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick off of a steak cut. get a large bowl to put your meat to soak in a apple cider, not juices, "CIDER"......... I like to use a part sparkling Cran-Apple cider but to keep the cost down you can use just plain cider, make sure meat is totally submerged in cider cover and put in frig for about 8 hours..............."BAM" :D
P.S. Apple Cider sweetins the meat and hides the gamey taste if you don't like that gamey taste wild meat has a tendicy to have and if you want to feed it to unsuspecting people who refuse to not eat deer and you want to disguise it :D but thats mean and I would never do that :nono:

Cut it about 2 to 3 inch lengths about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick off of a steak cut. get a large bowl to put your meat to soak in a apple cider, not juices, "CIDER"......... I like to use a part sparkling Cran-Apple cider but to keep the cost down you can use just plain cider, make sure meat is totally submerged in cider cover and put in frig for about 8 hours..............."BAM" :D
P.S. Apple Cider sweetins the meat and hides the gamey taste if you don't like that gamey taste wild meat has a tendicy to have and if you want to feed it to unsuspecting people who refuse to not eat deer and you want to disguise it :D but thats mean and I would never do that :nono:
OK, its been about 9 hours.............drain cider from bowl throughly then add your favorite barbecue sauce or you can go spicy "BAM" :D......"WARNING" you will see later on when other ingredient's are added what I mean, and if you use liquid smoke like from picture just a few drop! barbecue sauce first then other ingredient's or the potent stuff my stick to one peace of meat and you don't want that or you will get a suprise while eating it! place in frig for 8 hours. cider will protect it from tasting like all BQ sauce so don't worry about marinating it to long, I have had it set in brine for two days and still fine...........

That's my best friend rob in the pic(known him for over 16 years in the Navy....that's gotta be a record that we still live near each other.(his family is my family)

No, that is where our buddy keeps his key. We were stealing a trashcan to get some gravel at the pit. B and E baby! :icon_smile_big:
some good size deer tracks and the road.
Last couple. This is why we went up..to build a slab and put up the little generator house. Mission accomplished...(2+ -30 packs later in less than 48 hours, DOH!)
The other boys you see in the picture are Whitey(buddy's camp we broke in to thursday night) and Randy. Rob is in there again as well. We are all retired Navy Chief Petty Officers. That is 84 years of Navy right there between the 4 of us(i'm not in the pic) :o

make sure its really lean, the bacon makes it juicy enough.......I was thinking skirt steak would work good to...........but I always have deer or elk in the freezer....i usually get a deer every year, my brother, cousin and dad too, along with a couple of elks from our muzzle loader season, so my freezer stocked every year....... :yesnod:

CK,
no....we don't heater hunt. his stand is way back there in the woods but the deer really like to gather and cross over that road in the other picture. I'm guessing the shot would be in the 150-250 range depending on where they cross.

Those look damn good. How does one get his hands on deer meat if he happens to live downtown and doesn't hunt? They don't sell it at my supermarket, but I happen to know there are about as many deer in this state as there are people (enough to hit with your motorcycle at least). Seems like it should be more readily available...
Vainglory, I wouldn't suggest hitting it with your bike, but maybe a tahoe or suv of some kind might be the only way from what you have explained. If I had some I'd take it to a seafood market and have them ice it and ship it to you. I actually might be able to accomodate you. I have a buddy that has all kinds of deer meat. I might ask him tomorrow if he'll come off some so you can taste it. People around here like to hoard this stuff, it's like gold so to speak.
I'll let you know.

selling game meat is illage in most states I think because it incurages poaching..........but I think if you try a Indian reservation you can get it from there...make sure package is properly marked that it came from a Indian reservation because if you caught with untagged meat without a hunting licence you could get in big trouble............

well, the picture in Seattle looks like were my aunt and uncle use to live although I haven't been there since I was a kid, but just looks familiar......they lived on a hill like that on a corner, big house with some furs and I think a nut tree............was just a kid............I have some what of a photographic memory all though I was wrong earlier about a farm house :icon_smile_big: cabin creek was easy for we picked mushrooms many years there.....they kind of logged off the good mushroom area..........they still pop through the snow....true morels :D......I know it sounds silly but power lines gave it away too....live in the snoqualmie valley all my life and know area all around very well......that side road you got stuck on looks like the one we use to walk down about a 1/4 mile down on the right..........goes way back to the river and power lines...........use to be a old bridge that crosses that river thats been out for years.......use to and maybe still is a good hunting area :D

ok not taken today but here is a picture my father sent to me yesterday of his Little League Team back in 52' It was the first time he had ever seen the picture as well. It was sent to him by a friend of his from New York(that is where most of my dad's side is from, matter of fact they all are from New York)
I asked him to scan and email it to me, so I guess it was my picture of the day.
He's the 2nd one in from the left in the back row, I think. He won't tell me and made me guess. It looks like me though when I was that age so I'm hoping i'm right. The guy in the middle with his mouth open is some billionaire in Vegas who owns a couple casinos. I think he is connected from the vague description my father gave me.
My father was an awesome ballplayer and pitcher as well. He actually played hardball in the Air Force for a while back in the day.

So last night my best friends hottie daughter comes rolling up to the house with some other little hottie. I knew immediately she wanted some help fixing her stereo or something was up. Anyway I let her bat her eyes at me and play her little routine to get uncle mike to look at her car. She starts telling me dad effed up my stereo trying to rewire something. So after I tell her not to speak like that about her father, I start pulling crap apart to find out the amp Rob(dad) and I put in has thumped its last thump.
I pit crew the removal and head to my motorhome to pull a 500 watter out so she can have it and as i'm taking apart the enclosure that i made under one of the seats to house everything, I see this. Now I like to insulate but this was reeee-diculous. How did those little bas#@$s get in there.
Here's my pics of the day.
Pic of her for reference(she models) and the cabinet.
Da Beast(license plate and a milwaukees best light reference)
We used to drive this to Nascar races and I used it when we went to Loudon(NHIR) for bike racing.
Alright not of today but I just got back last night and didn't have time to upload but here's what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Barcelona, Spain. Lots of parties, got seduced by 2 40 year old swedish women and a spanish girl my age. Wasn't a bad score considering I was with Claudia. Even though we don't have anything you still get loads less attention as they always think we're a couple. Anyways had a great time, first day the weather wasn't that good but I was in the city anyways so that didn't matter. The rest of days I rolled my ass down to the beach which was about 30 meters from our appartment and she went shopping early in the morning til late in the day. I just got a sun burn and headaches from the night before, but I had a great time.
Pic #1: View from the small balcony in our appartment, which was located in Barceloneta, very cool being among the natives.
Pic #2: A watershow that is put on every friday and saturday evenings in the city.
Pic #3: What other place does a girl belong? Just kidding
Pic #4: The wind blowing through one of the metro tunnels was amazing she was standing still...

Hahaha becarefull what you wish for, she is expensive... While we there she bought Chanel sunglasses 310 euro's, a D&G belt 116,-, 6 pairs of shoes, a load of shirts and whatever I didn't really even care looking through. Imagine she buys sunglasses probably with a production cost 2 euro's and calls me crazy for buying drinks 15 euro's each. :-\ What can one say life is expensive.
I know I miss the movie quotations thread as well, but it wasn't my turn and I haven't had the nerve to go before my turn. But I think I might, I don't think chargerboy69 is going to post again. So keep an eye out I am going to think up a good one, haven't seen many movies lately though.

These are some of the abandoned buildings in the town i live in.
This house once sold for $6000
The last person to live in the white house moved into a shed on a farm.
So what is it with you and abandoned houses, do you work for a demo company or something?

The green house is a favorite of the kids in town. you see them breaking in a lot or sometimes youll suprise them when you go by and theyll run as fast as they can

This is the oldest building in our town. Used to be the hotel for the Chicago & North Western RR before passenger service stopped in the 50s.
All of these are abandoned right? How come the grass is still so short? I would think there would be bushes, trees, and long grass everywhere.

Cena doesn't look that big in that pic. It's always great to see the shows they have for the troops possibly remind them about things from home .
A few shots I took this morning before heading off to work - we're enjoying some great weather right now, and it was pretty hard not to sit out on the deck for a whole lot longer...
Nice back yard, Geno!
Mine looks just like that...except the grass, trees, water & deck...otherwise, much the same. ;D
Saw this silo while out driving around. Cant see it but at the bottom its says 10.2 tons.
Found this guy in a tree outside of the apartment complex I was living in near Columbus, GA a few months ago...............

I have been on that one a few times. In my opinion, I would much rather ride the Raptor or the Millennium Force. The Dragster is 10 seconds long, with a 2 hour wait.
Millenium force is great too. But seemed to me they all had a 2hr waits though.

Did they have a coal burning furness in the basement to heat the house back in the olden days? you should see the houses there building around here, they got to be very expensive to heat. there just the same size or most are even bigger and don't know how they keep them clean, except With out hired help.......................there is a saw mill owners house here in Preston washington which I think is a four square that the owners let me enter which was way cool, thing is huge! they were trying to furnish it with antique furnishings, Will get pictures of outside when I can, think IT was built around 1803 maybe....................

My baby getting ready to go to Prom.
Nice dress :2thumbs: I like it, not traditional, but the black/purple with black belt and the fact that it ends above the knee suits her very well. As far as I can see she even has the body for it as it accents her figure. Which really most girls don't have anymore these days. They are either too skinny or too large. Hope she had fun at her prom. Did you make the dress or was it bought?
Arthur
Wow. Shelby has changed since the last picture. She looks more grown up :angel:. By the way - I see you have a cat! I think you know I love pets, I have 5 cats and a Collie. ( I should really post on them on the pet thread).
also - Hey 68 Chargerwife, your new pictures look very nice!! I like your hair as a brunette a lot better, and your daughter is SO ADORABLY CUTE! Anyways, you look a lot hotter in those pictures and much more flatering. Now come on guys, THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT - - behave. :icon_smile_wink:
Arthur, I liked the dress , too. I was surprised she wanted a short dress. And, yes she had fun. Tufcat, My baby is growing up. :bawling: I thought you knew I had 3 cats. The one in the pic is Shadow. Wifey, I like the new pics of you better, too. And your daughter looks so cute.

I had no idea myself, so I did a little research. According to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Fleet List, (http://www.ww-group.com/index.asp?sid=1000163&strUrl=1000119c&noart=30) I'd say that looks like the car/truck carrier vessel Takasago. The weird looking structure on the back has got to be some sort of a ramp and support structure allowing the cars to be driven onto the vessel. There's supposedly another ramp setup amidship as well.
Here is a link to a fact sheet for that vessel:
http://www.ww-group.com/archive/Internet/The%20Fleet/WW_Takasago.pdf

I guess that would make sense to be able to drive the cars on, instead of using a crane. Probably would cut the loading/unloading time by quite a bit.

Correct, it is a ramp on the back. I recall hearing that it can carry 5000 + cars at once. Pretty cool to see it up close.

That's supposed to be real hardcore then, "satan's own" perhaps?
I've hears of the expression "playin' dem bones".....but this takes it to a whole nudder level! :eek2:
they are completely real, and it is legal. the bones are from 7 different "donors" and were purchased from medical resource centers where the bodies had been donated to science.
The law is that you can have bone as long as it does not have flesh attached to it. The guy who built it has 90% of a human skeleton in a glass case in his living room.
He actually sold that guitar to a collector a few years ago, but I'm trying to get him to build me a new one. Ya know, it goes with the whole IKILLYA theme. :) Speaking of, this is my homemade gun mic! it looks better from a stage, but hey, it gets the point across.

Hailey Idaho last week 2 hours north east of Boise small airport in flies a B-17 and the airport administrator lets me walk up to it and lets me take as many pics as I want. Only had my crappy cell phone to take pics but not often you get to crawl around a B-17.
the crew went into town for dinner and had left for the day so I could not crawl inside, they said I would be allowed if the crew was around but like I said they had left for the day.
B-17 I think.
Nice pic, got any more of the whole bird?? :2thumbs:

Not sure if you are referring to the one in the wooden pen or the one caged against the wall?
The one in the wooden pen will stay there for a few weeks and then move to a larger stall with a few others until they are large enough to hold their own ground with the larger cows.
The one in the cage against the wall is only about 12 hours old and needs to be separated from her mother while the mother eats. It is only caged like that for an hour or two at a time.
That poor calf will grow up to be a healthy Jersey who will produce quality milk with a high fat content for years to come. When we're done with her, off to the butcher shop! :yesnod:
Now, the last photo shows a calf that was on its last legs. My Daughter (3) saw it get born but it was the cows first calf and the cow didn't know what to do with her. She tried to clean her up but it just didn't work. She was a stubborn cow and wouldn't move to the pen. We had a rope on her neck attached to a pulley system to get her to move to the pen but had no luck and the cattle prod was not handy. The calf died about two hours after she was born, just after the photo was taken. My daughter was at the barn after dinner looking for the baby and we had to explain to her that the calf was gone to heaven. My Father-in-Law explained to her, "on a farm you have livestock and you have deadstock". :smilielol:
getting in the hay .farm is 4000 A 3000 cows
Interesting cloud formation north of my front yard last night. Looks like bird wing to me...
Shakey, we use to have to help pull calf's out sometimes on our farm because they would get turned around and come out hind legs first, it happened allot and never could understand it? we even hooked up the pickup truck once to pull the calf out and only a few would ever make it...................did you ever have to assist in a calf birthing?
I have. One word: slimey.

It excepitionally rare. Their were only several hundred pressed on Feburary 29th Records in 1989, which was before the band was sued by Kraft foods and was made to change their name to Green Jelly.

I'm always looking to pick up some vinyl, usually whatever I happen to come across that I like. The only particular thing I'm actually looking for :scope: is some Pantera: (Metal Magic or Power Metal), Metallica: Creeping Death E.P (Colored vinyl) Jump in the Fire (Red vinyl) or some NWOBHM stuff. I usually buy most of my vinyl on line because, their is one record store here in town that has been open and run by the same person since 1959 that mostly sells country and gospel albums. On a good day if you have a few hours to kill digging around you can find some rock/metal albums.
Ah,
I am holding onto my Pantera & Metallica vinyl. I am trying to sell of my Scorpions collection. :yesnod:
I had no idea we had so many metalheads here!! right on dudes!

Id love to own the record version of Ozzy's "Tribute to Randy Rhoads" live album. I have Blizzard Of Ozz on record and I hear its pretty rare. I also have Led Zeppelin Live in 1975 still in the package with the original price tag on it ;)
Also, heres my picture of the day. A 70-71 Cuda on a roof of an auto body shop. Its cut apart. You can barely see it but its a 70-71 Cuda for sure. I saw the 70-71 tailights last summer before they cut the rear tailight panel out :rotz:

The small mountain behind my house, on fire...again. It's pretty much a semi-annual thing, I suppose. ::)

Nah just over 105mph but the thing isn't made for those speeds, btw this is what the LT looks like as you probably don't have them over there. Btw that speed was going downhill and it was hitting the rev limiter. I believe with the ratio's and tires on that LT that was absolutely the fastest it can go.

Actually that is what we here call (except for the ugly grille) a Mercedes Sprinter. The LT shares the same floores and from the cabin to the rear panels. The front and the taillights/doors are completely different. But the basis is the same though.

whoa, what the heck, that is cool pic, looks like the waterfall goes down and down into mist, what is the black smoke cloud looking thing in lower left? is that regular mountain climbing gear?
Sorry it took me a while to reply. I had to ask my wife since she is the one hanging off the cliff. :faint: Pic was taken on her spring break trip this year. She said the black area in the lower corner is likely a camera strap or someone hand (which had a glove on). Here is a pic as they were hiking up.

Or a 2nd gen Charger or a few 3rd gens ! ;D
At Alki Beach in West Seattle there was a good sized car show today, found a few Mopars. This show was right on the water.
Check out the lady who drove the 440 Swinger. And the 70 Charger 500 had a small Mopar Hotwheel collection on the front passenger seat, ;D
Was at Alki about noon-thirty... The guy with the orange Charger also has another one at home and a Challenger... he's up at the Saturday night Burien cruise occasionally.

Hey Chris, how you been? I guess he was at the Mopar show last summer at Bellevue comm. college. Didn't know about the Chally, his other Charger is a 70 R/T 4sp. he said.
Going up to Lynwood tomorrow?
Hey Nate, surviving... better than not :icon_smile_big:

Aight I have been gone for the last week or so. Very busy with work. Some days even 18 hours per day. But I gotta get out of debt before school starts again and have some sort of a buffer. Anyways the first 4 in this post are of my only day off in the week (Sunday) and well they said it was going to very sunny and hot and I had plans with Safira to go to the beach. Well I wake up Sunday, well I agree a weatherguy can be off a bit because it is unpredictable, but they weren't even close. It was 14 degrees celcius and raining. So I called Safira and told her what I saw and that someone had stolen the sun because it sure wasn't here. So we were on a mission, we took the van and just started to drive in search of the sun. And well we found it, in Maastricht, the Netherlands. About 280km from where I live. Here are the pics, the last pic was taken in a forest near Eindhoven on the way back.
And this was thursday this week, had a job after work to deliver 500 new Samsung phones to Trier, Germany. Safira wanted to go with me on a little road trip. She was soo bored after 2 hours that she made over 200 pictures. Here are 4. The first is of the cargo, than Safira so bored she started taking pictures of herself, than me doing what I do best and than Saf on a hill in the sunny south of Germany.
Damn Art...you hittin that? :2thumbs:

Wow man,
Some of my fvorite Heavy Metal, Detah Metal & of course Black Metal bands are from that region. :METAL: :METAL: :METAL: :METAL:
Are you a fan of Metal?
They're not from Europe, but I love Pantera. :lol: Megadeth rocks too.
Nope Ponch, that is one of my best friends. I am still dating the ex-model, you know when you told me about the 3 date rule, well I never discovered if it was true. So it's going alright. Just a busy social/work life with too many friends and too many parties I have to attend. So we don't see each other as much as I would like, hope that it will be better as soon as we are both in school again. Here's a pic.

Arthur, you did not answer my question yet? :scratchchin:
Hey sorry, not much of a metal fan myself. Especially the heavy stuff is a bit too much for me. But I can enjoy almost every type of music. I wouldn't know any metal bands from the region, really not into the scene. Much more into the clubhouse, rave scene at the moment. Varies from time to time, but the club scene is huge in Rotterdam and well that's where the pretty people hang out. And there is nothing wrong with looking at good looking people all night.
BTW 70RT I did answer the question, I ain't...

Hershey Penn.
The park
The garden
Hershey Park is my favorite place! I had such a blast when I went there!
That is one nice area. It reminded me of something that you would read about in a fantasy book as a child. Everything was very well maintained, even the buildings that were over 100 years old looked brand spanking new. The roads leading in and out of town looked like golf courses. And it is simply amazing how one person did so much for one area/town. :o Our tour guide said that the Hershey trust pumps MILLIONS of dollars every year into the community. And that is on top of the money that the plant contributes through employees and other related companies of Hershey in the area.
I was not looking forward to the trip over there. But my wife wanted to go. After it was all said and done I was the one that enjoyed the trip/tour the most. It was great!
Oh yeah I forgot to post the most important pic..... :drool5:

So I'm driving home from work the other day & spot my car's TWIN on the side of the road for sale, went back the next morning with a camera. :lol:
There's lots of twins to lots of cars out there, but not necessarily this particular model...at least not where I am. The only differences were this one was an automatic, had no driving lights & more of a standard front bumper.
The clearcoat's even faded & peeling like mine! :smilielol: (mine's on the left)

Definitely one of the most beautiful places on Earth! :icon_smile_cool:
yeah it's running...bringing people up & down the mountain a few times a day since the late 1800's!
I was up on Mount Washington myself just a month or so back... It was almost 90 degrees at the base, but there was still some snow on the ground at the summit... it was 37 degrees, and the wind was blowing a steady 47mph... all in all, a pretty calm day for Mount Washington.
I was at Kansas Speedway over the weekend. I got to criuse the track :icon_smile_big: Check out the old Plymouth pace car.
Aww man, that looks like fun! I bet that was a blast.
Went fishing on Skagit River, in the first pic, that water is maybe ten to fifteen feet deep and maybe 60 feet across, then in next pics you can see how wide the river bed is, with that section from the first pic being way over on the side (in third pic). This river was way overflooded last winter and took out houses and land along the river banks, rains a lot here sometimes,

Amarillo by Sundown!
Ah not really of today but of this weekend. I hitched a ride with a friend to Lille to visit some of last years exchange students who live there and party with them as this weekend it was the semi-final of the rugby world cup. France - England. Too bad they lost (something nobody (not even the English) would have thought) but still had a great time. Anyways some cheap cell phone pictures of Lille. It is a pretty nice city. Oh yeah went there on thursday and got back on monday and the entire weekend cost me $140 USD including travel, accomodation and food and drinks, I'm proud of myself :P
Picture 1: An old bording school
Picture 2: The trainstation Lille-Flandres
Picture 3: Theatre Sebastopol
Picture 4: Town square

Dang lowpro, that power wagon looks exactly like the one I have in my back yard right now, camper and all. My buddy was gonna take it to the crusher and I said no way. running small block with a standard and a 60 truck rear. I couldn't let it go to the grave.
I'll try to snap a pic tomorrow cause it's dark now.
I'll re-size the actual pics of the concert...they are too big to post
Cody,
I'm going too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :METAL:
January 3rd in Portland Maine.
1st time ever I'm gonna see John Michael Osbourne. The Great Ozz, The Wizard of Ozz, The Madman, The Godfather of Heavy Metal,The Prince of Darkness, The Blizzard of Oz
and RZ as well, it doesn't get any better than that!!!
It was an awesome show!!! The intro to the show is HILARIOUS!!! Wont say much about it, dont wanna give away it but basically, they took clips from shows and put Ozzy in them lol.
They did I Dont Wanna Stop, Crazy Train, Bark At The Moon, I Dont Wanna Change The World, Fire In The Sky, Mama Im Coming Home, Paranoid, Suicide Solution, Not Going Away and Zakk did a 5 minute solo. Im pretty sure Im forgetting a few songs they did though. Its cool, Zakk kept all the Randy solos the same in the songs and during his 5 min solo, he included some parts of Randy's solo off of the Tribute album.
I was hoping for some retro stuff. :2thumbs:
I see my favorite song is in there...MINT!!!!!
Can't wait.

Of course crazy train, but suicide solution is my favorite preceded by Dee...remember, I wanted you to try to learn that one and do a video. Dee slides into SS on the album.
I have many more but i'd be happy with that one.
Ok, we are jacking big time. Back to the funny pics.

Yea, they are white tail.........We also have Moose, Elk, Mule Deer, Black Bears, Mountain Lions, and all the other little critters roaming around up here in the woods!
abandoned WW2 Submarine spotting tower near my house and a last gasp of summer drive a few weeks ago on Cape Cod
Mountain is named Sleeping Lady and dock is across the bay from it. Normally water isn't as high as shown in photo.
Mark
The Tug is my wife's company's, manager is out of town, I caught the guys doing 360's in it 8 times one way 4 the other. After they realized it was me video taping them, they came into the dock and were pretty freaked out thinking they were busted, I lol'd and said heck no, I want a turn! I didn't though. I told them go into the shop though and explain that you were teaching the new guy how to drive in case of an emergency to cover they're ass.

Nice Pic!
I took these pics just before I went to work because there was a light dusting on top of 6 to 8 inches of snow we already had. I like the glazed over look, & might even buy fake snow to glue onto everything so I can see it all year long. :lol:
I took all of these from my deck, the first one looking west across the driveway.

Wow Brock! :o What great finds! How did you acquire them? The reason I ask is our 11 1/2 year old boy has wanted to be an Archaeologist/Paleontologist since he was 5 years old. I can't tell you how many rocks, crystal, fossils, etc. that he has! (Lot's) I'm definitely gonna show him your pics. Got any more? :shruggy: :2thumbs:

Mrs. Skip, Since my retirement I've been busy,..
I met a guy who deals in gems, minerals and Paleontology as well as Archeology and sells items at the local flea market every sunday,..
some professors and scientists turn up every Sunday too to purchase rare stuff he get through his "connections" So i've been going down there and hanging out and learning from him as well as reading a ton of books and cruising all over the internet trying to get educated,..
The two jaws you see he collected in Morocco when he was there in the early '80s.
I've also become enraptured by these old photographs and I've been collecting them and sharing them with friends,..
I will at some point buy a scanner and begin posting the pics...
I've also been getting into the R/V,.. though this isn't the season for travel and camping. There's a leak somewhere in the front compartment i haven't been able to isolate and the radio crapped out yesterday, I'm gonna replace it with a modern i-pod ready c/d player and new speakers... I'd like to keep it "period correct" (looking) though, since it's all 1978 original in every respect.
The Camper is kinda hard to work on, for one thing the 440 engine is one heck of a lot bigger then the 318s i had in my old vans, everything is not only tight, but there's the A/C stuff and smog stuff surrounding everything, not at all like the 440 in the charger...
I'll try and scare up some pics here later..
And somewhere, buried under ten plus years of stuff, I have many pics of my tour of Alcatraz, that place is very strange indeed, it reminded me of the Tower of London, the only place I been that's stranger...

I always were that not just for sound purposes but to keep my head from being hit from thousands of empty cases being ejected all over the place.

This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA National Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear. If this does not impress you . nothing ever will. Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo .. I can't even imagine having the nerve ... much less the talent and ability ... God Bless our military.

That helicoper shot is way cool. :thumbs:
Here are 4 Antelope that were grazing in this field yesterday on the way out of town (I live in a semi-remote area). As we approached, they acted like they wanted to cross the road, so I slowed down to 15 or so...they just walked along, looking at us all fidgety like. I grabbed the camera & started rolling a little faster, then they picked up speed too.
This was at about 35 mph.

What did that thing eat ??
Bull snake?
Maybe you should keep it around. Looks like it just swallowed a gopher.
We think it was probably a mouse or rat??? He got a MUCH needed relocation.....

here's some from yesterdays windy outing,.. the great highway was closed due to drifting sand so I got to ride my bike the leanght of the city south to north and back, I get to the cliff house, from where the pics were mostly taken... and I attempted to capture pics of the two dozen or so wind and parasailers,.. but they never really lined up and the wind was so stiff with sand blowing everywhere and the sun so bright the viewscreen was washed out so i basicly had to just shoot what i thought were good moments and hope they would come out... and so i got some unexpected results...

350's & 500's are the same bodystyle. 500's are more common. 350's had 351W small blocks & 500's had 428 engines.
That one's a '70, because of the black hood stripes, '69 was the same thing, minus the stripes.

I had to deliver some industrial wheels to a factory in Poland (Goldap to be precise), it was on the border with Russia. I had a blast driving there, now I'm notorious for my faster than average driving, but these Polish are crazy. Only 70 and 90km/h 2 lane roads, no highways, where they overtake like crazy. But I was able to adapt pretty quickly and by the end of the trip I was faster than the everage Polish guy on the road. Everything was back to normal.
Rules for driving in Poland are that you kind of stick to the speed limit in towns (about 80% of the small tows that are on the road to major cities have a speed camera), but out of town there are no rules and the cops basically just don't care.

No kidding. I've been trying to get him to let go of it for 10 years so I could get it off the ground but he won't budge. He's an old stooge and the original owner. Talked to his wife one day when he wasn't there and apparently its a bit of a sore spot between them.

These are in my neighbors yard tonight. Weird circular pattern....maybe a mower spread the spores from the last ones.
Weird. Was there ever a pool in that spot?
it looks like there's a bit of an indentation there.
that's how mushrooms grow... some anyway,.. they used to be folklore about fairy circles and such...
they expand from a central core as they exhaust the nutrients in the soil...

thanks for saying so,..
the camara could only capture a small part of the sky, and those colors were soooooo much bigger than the pics can capture,.. and the light was changing every minute,.. it was really quite increadable. i have some more pics of various misc. stuff i need to post later after i review and resize...

Woah it almost looks like she is walking on water.
my kids at a water fall in minnesota
This guy tried to make the turn, and well...
This happened on RT.1 the other night. RT.1 is a 2 lane road, and this guy had both lanes blocked. I thought the guy would be in panic mode. Instead he and his co-pilots went over to White Castle and got some eats, sat under a tree and were laughing about it. I was in the same Castle lot eating in the car, so I was watching the whole thing.
And the day before. You can see the cab and first box looked untouched. I guess the back box got loose. I never liked those twin trailers. I always thought drivers should get double money for double trailers. ;)
These pictures were taken 5 hours apart. The first one was me coming home from work, and the next one was me going back to work. Not much changed in those 5 hours.

This is on 280E. My friend told me this is the steepest incline on any highway this side of the Mississippi. Not sure if that's true, but we have many crashes in this area. I live right behind 280, so I can hear those trucks dropping some gear that makes a god awful noise that can be heard for miles. Not sure what it is exactly, but it's loud.

Those Sygma drivers are usually some of the better ones. That guy flat screwed the pooch on that one. :rotz: A blind guy from Washington state could see that.
Are there any runaway truck ramps on that incline? Or is it just a short stretch?
I ran a show truck years ago out here, new 4 axle Pete pulling a 4 axle 53' flatbed. The truck run 8" stacks with no mufflers. Nice deep rumble. Those Jakes are fine and dandy, it's the Joes that use them in town that irritate me.

I took these about an hour ago.
You can find most of my pics on my facebook profile if you are "added" as a friend. I have way too many pictures up there. Here are a couple from yesterday.
First is a neat old snow removal vehicle Id never seen before.
Second is the highway I was traveling on. Saw a couple road construction "Be Prepared to Stop" sort of signs and came around a corner to find half the highway just GONE! Sorry for the bad pic had to take it while driving past. Those concrete barriers are only inches from the edge of the dropoff where one lane of highway used to be.
Next two are from a historical location here in BC! If anyone can guess I'll give them a virtual beer!

Those last two almost look like kite boarding in the Columbia gorge. Except we don't have barge's that look like that.

This had to have been done in the dark and the trees above are all that is there to hook some sort of rope to. The area behind those trees is a gated community. This was done about 2 months ago. It's still shining brightly.
I have seen this guys tags around Newark Airport as well. He's got some serious rocks, that's for sure.
They'll catch em' soon enough when the rope breaks and then, well...he/she breaks too. No reason for that stuff whatsoever. :rotz:

A bunch of friends and I were out at 10 Mile Lake just outside of the small city of Quesnel when I heard what sounded like a helicopter flying inbound. Something sounded off about it, not only did it sound really low, but the pitch was different that the normal Bell helicopters you always see. Well a pair of these came low overhead flying in formation. They went over the lake and continued north towards Prince George.

Photos of Scotty's Castle in the middle of Death Valley Desert. Note the absolutely huge swiming pool that was never quite completed and the literally thousands of railroad ties that were used as firewood in the house.

I thought he was going to say "Beam me Up!" :lol:
Here are a few more pictures of Scotty's Castle. This place is absolutely amazing. It had a solar heating system for hot water - had to be one of the first ever made. I am attaching a photo of what remains of the solar panels and hot water storage tank. If you ever get the chance to take the tour, it is well worth your time. The swimming pool that was never quite completed was going to be huge!!

Beneath the waves, upon the sands,
down fathoms in the deep,
sunken men, in silent ships,
find refuge fast asleep,
exempted from
the challenge of,
victory or defeat ...
where flesh and steel rest as one,
beyond the reaches of conceit.
Beneath a mirror of twinkling light,
upon a brilliant sea,
gallant men in stalwart ships,
on a voyage not to be,
wait at their posts, in eternal patience,
without anxiety;
In a world of liquid echos and muted hostility,
where a delicate lace of ocean life
adorns the mighty guns
and consumes their awesome appearance
in the filtered light of the sun.
The sacrifice of death cannot be sealed into antiquity by the date on a calendar, for it is ongoing, passing through all generations on its way to the end of time!
Please remember that as the last visitor leaves the memorial at the end of this day, over eleven hundred men must remain behind to sacrifice yet another evening, having made but one more days payment to eternity!
They ask for nothing but your remembrance from their place of silence beneath the waves, as darkness again falls over them, their dreams and their ship!
Always remember :cheers:

Well spoken my friend :patriot:
Here is a picture for the thread. This was taken two days ago, and it was a confirmed Tornado within this cloud. I did not take this picture, but someone around me did and sent it to a local news station, but this is what I saw from my backyard as well.
At 7pm, I started to cut my grass. Well about 45 minutes later, in the distance, I could see lightning, and it was really getting dark. I figured I would cut the grass until it started raining, or a lightning bolt was over my head. Well, my yard is 300 feet long, and as I was cutting on my tractor, I started to notice some real funky clouds in the distance at about 825pm. 5 minutes later my wife runs down the back yard to tell me we are under a Tornado Warning. I told her if she wanted to get the kids and go into the basement, to do it. I only had about 10 more minutes until the grass was finished, so I decided to stay out. After a few more passes with the tractor, I began to notice this cloud, and then the wind picked up to maybe about 30mph, and the temperture dropped at least 10 degrees. I could see it was staying north of me, so I continued to make the last few passes and finish the grass. After 5 minutes, the cloud was gone. The tornado that came out of it was about 6 miles away, and was an EF 0, which is the weakest of all tornados. They said it was not on the ground long, and no damage was reported because it was in a wooded area, but the winds were probably a max of 65MPH....but what a cool picture. The weird thing was that it did not rain a drop where I live! 8)

Well Colonel, I had to miss the Beaver Falls car cruise, I think it was Saturday, the 2nd. My friend won some tickets on the radio for the Rock Star Mayhem Music Fest and we git a meet and greet with Disturbed.
Here is a pic of us tailgating as well, the show was at the Post Gazette Pavilion in PA, good time. :2thumbs:
took a walk across the golden gate bridge,..
'n took over 200 photos alot of which are awesome, but for now at least i'll just post this one..
i waved (and perhaps other of the thousands of folks lineing the railing city side did too),.. but i estimate hundreds of folks on the ship waved back...
:D very cool! :wave:

TK73 next time you do that trail, go to the last trestle heading east bond before the tunnel and there is a trail just to the right side of the bridge as you cross it, there is a trail, don't head down the old rock steps but go straight through the brush and there is a hidden secret just a short distants away with one word you will find............tell me what it is and you will win a virtual beer!
I think the above pic was the first trestle we hit coming down from the tunnel goin west, same one??
We're headed back up there in a couple of weeks... this time though we're going up the mountain first, parking about 10 miles west of the tunnel, going to Hyak and back.

No thats the second one, the first one would be less higher and more straighter, trail would be to the left before you cross the bridge headed west bound, with a dirt road underneath and a small creek to the the right looking up the valley, the garden slug crystal claim is just above that valley and to the left, they also cored out granite of that mountain near by, I know to much information, nice picture I took the same of the that bridge

One dump wonder? wow. Thats not very nice. I would say any band that has 10 full albums plus many side projects (the Network, The frustrater's, Foxboro Hot Tubs and others) would be anything but a one hit wonder. Their songs are in lots of movies. They are known to anyone that grew up in the mid 90's threw mid 2000's. Yes they are still a band. They are working on a new record right now. Out of all of there albums. There is only ONE that sucked (shenanigans). Their first two albums off of Lookout records (1039 smoothed out slappy hours, Kerplunk) were produced before they were even 20 years old. The drummer on their first album left the band and told them he didn't think that they were going anywhere. Big mistake on his part. Ever since 1990 it has been the same three guys. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. plus they have had other people help them with some extra instruments. You should give them a listen before you start knocking them. As far as what I said. To me. They are the best band ever. To others though. They are nobody. but anyway you look at it. For a "punk" band to grow into as big as band as they have is very respectable. They played a concert with U2 in recent years. two of the biggest bands in the world. I know there is a generation gap, otherwise I would say that everyone ere would have heard of them. Are they the best band in the world? Probably not really. Have they had some Number ones? yes.

I have to agree that the majority of people under 30 would have to rank Green Day as one of to top groups from this era (1990-present). Though they werent like the Beatles with 10,000 hits; they definately had many, many, successful songs. Listen to any modern rock station for a few hours and you will most likely hear more than one Green Day song.
I'm forty and I like them ok, remember them in the nineties, they have had many songs on the radio, problem was a few years ago it wasn't the 10,000 great songs that bothered me, was the fact that the radio station would play there one new song 10,000 times a day, after you hear it a couple hundred times a week it sort of ruins it,

No one on the site likes Diturbed? :o
I have not heard a peep about the pic's I posted.
I have never heard of "diturbed" Is that a country band?
What about Grenn Day? I think that it is that Grenn Day guy playing the G-Tar foy yer' avatar? :icon_smile_tongue:

I toured with Green Day back in those days.......some day I gotta write a book about it. :musik010: :punkrocka: :apimp: :D

Mikepmcs.... Awesome shot!!! :cheers:
Thanks, but I didn't take it. That is my buddy "big Jas"(Jason Oliver) the owners boy who works with me at the body shop. His girlfriend took the picture and I agree, she is a phenomenal photographer. :cheers: :2thumbs:
I picked this one out of a host of pics because I thought the same thing as I am an amateur photo dude myself. Just don't have the cash to get the camera I want. :rotz: I have to figure out a way to blow it up so I can frame it and put it up.

Yea I do some amateur photo work myself. Run a Canon Rebel which serves my purposes. However I have a crappy lens and dont have the money i need for the 24-70L I want. It's like $1400 so its between that or putting it towards a nice TIG. Decisions :scratchchin:
Highly recommend the canon though. Tell her i said great photo!!!
already did, they were here today, she had a smile from ear to ear. :cheers:
she also uses a canon as well.
The one I want is a Nikon.(well 2 years ago anyway, i'll have to check the canon stuff out again)
Here's one that looks like it has Kris Kristofferson's face in it.
Let's see who can find it. :icon_smile_big:

been awhile since i been on that road, you can take bandara air field exit and go right off exit and head west, but there is a gate don't know if its still getting locked or you can take the macullen bute trail exit which is the second one after truck town, well actually the third for the second one you can only go west bound, its marked on I-90 as macullen bute exit, then head east alone highway and you have to look for the trestle and take a right or left depending on which direction your headed, don't know if you can still drive those roads still its been a long time, cool road though, takes you up to top of ridge overlooking the water shed..............
All that and a Mopar Gurl to boot! :D

Here is my contribution. Took the Caddi down some dirt roads looking for cars last week end. Thought this was very pretty. This is about 5 miles from the Idaho border.(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h4/Jeremymacdonald/guitarforsale005.jpg)
Got me a new NIKON D80 yesterday with the extra 70-300mm lens. These were taken with the 18-135mm :icon_smile_big:
So i thought i'd shoot some pics of the Maine sunrise and some tree shots. I'm gonna go driving around and see if I can learn how to use this thing. :yesnod:

These are all taken from my porch
Went around the block this morning and took a few more.
I need some more practice, it's been a while since I had a good camera and the possibilities are endless nowadays as to what you can do.

Here are some pic's I snapped a few weeks ago of a local Restaurant that burned down.It burned this past Summer.
I think the sign is ironic.... :D
Is that the one on 306 in Willoughby? My wife and I ate there one time...damn...and, oh yeah, "Where there's Smoke, there's Fire"....guess so! :smilielol:

I live about 10 minutes from there. My buddy was a bartender there. :2thumbs:

You have deer where you live? :o
I'd have figured the biggest wild animal in your neck of the woods might be a raccoon. :lol:
With the concrete metropolis know as Essex Co. growing everyday, these animals have knowhere to go. I guess slumming it up in my backyard ain't so bad. ;)
What can I feed them? May as well hook 'em up with something other than grass and leaves for a change. Maybe I can train one and make it a house pet? :icon_smile_cool:
This was looking out the kitchen window this morning around 9. We've been getting pounded for 3 days straight. I live on the edge of the "snow belt", so we get 40-50% more than in town, just 3 miles away. Weird. Can't wait to get out and hang those Christmas lights! :eek2: Sorry about the graininess; I took this with my cell phone.
Quote from: Chris G. on November 21, 2008, 04:28:44 PM

.270 grain always works well. :2thumbs:
you can feed them apples if you want to keep them coming around, they are pests and will eat your stuff.
If your going to keep them as pets you'll be needing to name them.
How about Backstrap and Tenderloin. :scratchchin:

LOL....we used to feed the wild turkey & other birds, but once we ended up with a pair of cats that someone dumped off, we stopped feeding. I was tired of cleaning up squirrel & bird carcasses. The deer seemed to like the corn we put out. Yes, they will eat shrubs & other plantings, so think about it.

Eldon, I've seen plenty of Moose in Geary, Oromocto West and out on the ranges that match the size of that critter.
Unfortunately for me....I was flying over them in a Griffon!
And of course, they disappear completely during Moose season. :flame:
How else do you think they get so big? :icon_smile_big:

Oops, back off topic again, sorry Lisa.
Anyone ever want to know how to make tamales, let me know, Ill give you my recipe(on the recipe thread of course that no one ever contributes too...hint). Also, I have a quick recipe for chile rellenos that is more family dinner type casserole oriented(almost like a quiche). I already have my Arroz Con Pollo recipe that I threw up there(hee hee, i said threw up, no pun intended)
Anyone in the San Diego area want to go to Roberto's or Alberto's and snag me a couple little cups of their hot sauce I'd sure appreciate it. Been trying to duplicate that one for years off my memory of the taste from 1991. I need to know what it is or who makes the one they use before I die, thank you.

Looked out my window this mourning and saw this.
We were having real bad wind storms last nite and my neighbors poll building which housed 4 vehicles was picked up and splattered on his other neighbors house....
To put it a little more into perspective. The building covered those three vehicles pictured. Not one of them got scratched.
One more :eek2:

That's the problem. They weren't in the ground. They've been sitting on cement blocks since 1978. So it was an accident waiting to happen.

That's the problem. They weren't in the ground. They've been sitting on cement blocks since 1978. So it was an accident waiting to happen.

Amazing striped icebergs - Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.
- Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
- When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.
- Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Been doing this all weekend. I swear every year at this time we get either ice or snow.
I got nothing to offer, but all these pictures and funny comments are great.

Holy crap, is that a regular size road or an ATV trail? I wish I could judge the scale, but regardless, that Moose is a monster.

Nothing to do with that whatsoever.
I'll give a hint, this is the remaining of two towers owned by Boston Gas. The original was painted very similar to this one. In fact the only reason this one is painted like this is because the first tower with the original art was torn down in 92'. Keyspan(as far as I know) now owns this gas tower and had it painted almost identical. They say it's because of the colorful landscape it lends, etc...... IMO, the real reason is in the blue, has something to do with Corita Kent and they just wanted to keep the speculation/truism/popularity alive.
Oh and I believe the moose was deemed a photoshop quite a few posts/pages ago.

No takers on the trivia question so here is the answer. Look on the left side of the blue. Doesn't it look like a profile of maybe like a Vietnam Communist leader like say....Ho Chi Minh? Here's the story if you care to read it. You've been lernded sumthing 2day. :icon_smile_big:

Digging for Old Beer Cans. Anybody have any? LEON.
Maybe its an east coast thing but that picture makes no sense to me lol.
Why would you want old beer cans?
And why would you have to dig for them?
Looks like they were out with there metal detectors. That's the treasure they found..
.
:smilielol:
This was me after surviving(amazingly nobody was hurt) the mishap of ACFT 123.
Long story short; one of the aft blades contacted a parked birds blade ropes, and drug the 2nd birds blades into the aft rotor system, and BOOM! No sooner did we all get off this thing, than the aft pylon completely collapsed, and caved into the cabin.
Now a funny, this aircraft was always a problem child for us. We just couldn't keep it fixed. Its nickname was "snickers"(not going anywhere for a while). So this accident was actually a relief for the avionics shop.
one more of that chinook.
im pretty sure that the chopper really wanted to kill itself from all the repairs im gonna nickname it "emo heli" ;D :coolgleamA:

Wow, I bet that was a big boom! :o Glad everyone's ok. :cheers:
The funny part was this one LT. Before the crew gave us the all clear to get off, this guy went running out the tail ramp. Well the rotors were still moving and BAMMO! One caught him in the kevlar and tossed him like a rag doll. Other than getting knocked out, not a scratch on him

Finn, I got $4,500 for a old empty can before. I guess you missed that Old empty beer can on ebay that got $19,299 a few years ago :scratchchin: LEON.
A Truck parked at Dad's Truck Stop in Idaho Falls, ID today....... :D
I used to live a few miles away from there. Just to the north of there on a back road, there was one of the cleanest 69 Road Runners I ever saw. It was an orig owner base 383 4spd post with no rust and less than 60K miles. He had the trunk full of NOS interior parts. The car still had its orig tires all the way around. Lots of muscle cars in and around IF, ID.

Well, beer cans are easier to store than cars so if you're going to collect really expensive items I say go for the smallest ones.

You should recycle all those cans, and buy more beer with the proceeds!!! :icon_smile_big: :cheers: :slap:
Ok, I'll admit, that's pretty impressive. :cheers:
Still, I can't understand paying anything more than maybe $20 tops for an old can.
How many of those have you found by using the 'ol metal detector?
HOLY SH++BALLS!!!!!!!!!!! :o :scared: :scared:
Leon,
Do you have this one? If not, PM me your address and it's on the way.
PS: Those 2 top shelves in the one picture need some support. Hate to see you lose those bottles.
Wow, man, that's an :o AWESOME :o beer can collection!!! I used to collect back in the late `70's and into the `80's, but once I started actually drinking them, I sorta fell off the collecting wagon, and sold my collection to a guy for 500 bucks. I had some gooood cans...flat tops, conetops, air cans...probably worth 10 times that now. Found a lot of them in the hills of W. Va. with a Radio Shack metal detector around some relatives' houses.
Hey, Hampton...for the uninitiated, how about a few Glamour Shots of your Olde Frothingslosh cans? Thanks, buddy. :icon_smile_big:
Mike, I dont have that sign but I like it, I have a few Genesee Cans, Had a couple of Genesee signs before. If you want to send I'll pay shipping & a little more. Let me know how much to send. e-mail me or pm me for my Address. THANKS, LEON
P.S. Big Red, Yeah, I got a few different Olde Frothingsloths. Including the rare 8 ounce flat from the 50's & the rare first brown colored can from 68 & many others.
The 70 r/t, I sold most my High Dollar ones in first collection (about 100 of them) to put down payment on my house, Then sold part of second collection(about 50 of them) to buy my Unrestored original FK5 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. That $4,500 beer can really helped out there. Heres a Pic of that can if anybody wants to see what a rare $4,500 can looks like :scratchchin: LEON.

Me in the black/blue jacket, all of my worldly posessions in the trailor. Just moved back East from California and hadn't even had time to unpack. Couldn't get the truck hooked up, so we unloaded everything by hand, onto jon boats and walked it out. The water got up to the bottom of the trailor and about and inch deep in the back left corner. We didn't have to move anything, but you don't know until the water goes down how high it will get.

I was out for a walk this past Easter weekend.
The Saint John river is almost at it's peak by this time, and there is still bits of ice to be seen as it finds it's way downriver to the ocean.

I'd like to live in an area like that (Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Montana) but I just can't do tornadoes :lol:
There have been a FEW rare tornadoes in Utah. But not enough to worry about.
I am guessing you saw a flying saucer when you took the pic, but it vanished before the flash. :yesnod:

Recently, I've taken to floral photography in a big way, probably because in the winter months photo worthy autos are scarce and few other subjects are as attractive and don't scream, hit and run away when the camara is raised in their direction...
Here are 20 photos of 300 I took on a recent expedition to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. Hope you enjoy them.
something is allways too large or needs to be renamed no matter how careful i am in posting pictures.. :RantExplode:
allready posted that file huh?.. :shruggy:
i'll keep trying... :-\
well if i cut the size in half and rename it and get out of the thread entirely and start over by retyping the caption... then maybe - just maybe one picture will post at a time... :2thumbs:
There are fountains and pools and rivers and lakes and each of the wings to the left and right are progressivly warmer and more humid to better replicate the amazon rain forest.
You know oh fearless leader... there seems to be one picture in every four that's just too big, no matter they were all reduced to the same size to begin with,.. which means through a painful process of elimination - that particular photo has to be found...
Ya' know we didn't used to have these problems posting pics Boss.
I love the site but DAMN!!
Why do some folks get to post pics of cars that are soooooooooo freakin big they are waaaaaaaaaay off the freakin page and you have to scroll over and back to see them,.. and my tiny little uniformly sized pics throw a wrench in the machine?.. :flame:
There is also an elaborate model railroad running around the north wing. I figgured you guys would especially like that,.. it recreates various city landmarks and local railroads using recycled materials kinda' in the "green" theme that is so popular these days...
the entrance to Chinatown.
i think by posting one pic at a time i can avoid having to try to figgure out which is the offending pic...
the Conservitory of Flowers itself is replicated in this model..
more flowers, orchids...
...
.
some architectural details...
there's rushing water under these grates,.. all the metal features are superb example of victorian era metal working, the Conservitory was referbished and restored a few years ago...
...

the end.
Great pics. Very pretty. I still need to get to San Fran sometime. I have had problems with the attachment thing here since day one. Thats why I use Photobucket. Then you don't take up to much space on this site.
I love the model train. I think it would be awesome to have a garden train.

Even if you reduce a picture down to the same dimensions, the file size in bytes may still be too big. That happens because of the content of the picture. It takes more bytes to store a picture with a lot of white in it. If you look at the file sizes of your pictures, You'll see the ones that are over the limit for attachments here which is 200 KB.
The folks that are showing large pictures are hosting them somewhere else and then linking them in their post rather than uploading them as an attachment. There's really no restriction doing it that way - other than what fits well on the screen and looks good, but even a 10 megapixel 280X1368 picture would show up using the link-from-somewhere-else method... but it would scroll off to the sides and bottom..
:2thumbs: Nice pics, by the way.
Makes me want to go check out the Niagara Botanical Gardens and the Butterfly Conservatory.

Oh,.. now your just talkin crazy man.. :shruggy:
i have an old 1.3 mgpixel camera and all the pics come out at 400-900 KB so i just re-size tham at 50-75% (depending on pic size) and it works great, sometimes i have to do it a second time if i guess wrong on the reduction but when i post them here they all look great
optimize the photo, an option in simple photo programs, I can tell you a free one, like photoshop, you can keep the big size, but reduce the file size so it goes below 200kb. It will be just as clear online, only will look grainier/less quality, if you try and print it that way. my digital camera loads right into serif photoplus6.0, then you size them, optimize them, and load into site from there,

What did you do set a 55gln drum on fire on its side? I like it, I like it alllottt!
Down down down...in a burning ring of fire....... :whistling:
looks like a flaming tire
It's actually a bass drum shell. I'm a drummer and I collect and restore vintage drums. This was a 24" Slingerland shell that was badly out of round and was a good candidate for a burning. I took several pics of it burning and I like this one the most.
that is a very cool pic! :scratchchin:
Out for a Nature walk Yesterday in my old Neighborhood. Turned over a big piece of plywood & found a little nest of newborn baby mice. looked like just born, bald & pink with eyes closed. Then went down to the river. Seen a big Turtle in middle of River on sand bar. He seen me walk up & scared him into water. Surprisingly he then swam right over to me only a foot away & stuck his head up out of the water to take a look at me. Was kinda cool, I love Turtles. had many as a kid. LEON.

Is oiling stairs a smart thing to do? (Other than for the comedic value, that is...)
you are joking, right? its deck/siding/fence oil, made for cedar, soaks in, basically dries,
the treated/oiled wood has way more anti-slip properties, after raining or whatever, than before I clean it.
Yes...joking. :cheers:

Nice work indeed. I was amazed at the difference just a power wash makes on a deck the first time I say it done. I'm planning on doing my fence sometime later this year.

Thank you much. Speaking of fences, ya, power washers are great for cleaning cedar, lots of it in Pacific NW and lots of rain and green and need.
If you do it, its kind of like painting something, come down closer to wood after power washing wand is moving at proper speed. Don't start and stop suddenly while at cleaning distance. Like in painting where you will make a big blob of wet paint, in power washing you will make bright line spots or tear into wood. If you have to stop and start, to make an invisible seem, just lift wand while keeping it moving. Then come back down into the seem while wand is moving at proper speed. The seem will be a sort of half cleaned foot long stretch where you lifted the wand while it was moving, and when you come back down just come into it at the other end of the half cleaned stretch. Then it will be evenly cleaned with no stop and start spots showing. :Twocents:

ya, I think that's what the missile in the background is for, mining. They pick up the bits and pieces of the crater the missile makes, then they shoot the minerals out of all those artilary guns and anti-aircraft guns to transport them to where the mineral dryer is located.

Good guess! It is a Rotary type kiln that lime, cement, pulp is pushed through and baked. Its lined with brick on the inside and heated to around 1100 degrees. I work on these every day.

When I originally posted the images in c00nhunterjoe's original post never showed. :shruggy: So I assumed he was talking about the post that landonsrt made just before him.

The gun looks to be a Tank buster from a Stuka.
That looks like a big gun/turret to be on an airplane. Looks more like a tank or ship gun, but if you say so.
Do you have a picture of the plane that that goes on?

An HE 177 used a 20mm also, looks like a "Tank Buster" of some sort. I had a "Spook" come in one night when I was in the Control Tower, Chief let me go down and check it out, all blacked out at 3AM sitting on the paddock, what a gunship...
So that big of a gun on an airplane would have quite a recoil, was the plane specially reinforced in the bulkhead for when it would fire? Seems like it would be hard to line up a shot on a tank when the plane was flying if the gun was pointed out the side of the plane, without fancy targeting computers back then. :shruggy:
The Stuka fired straight ahead you aim the plane. There are days I'd like one in the Charger. :D
big black dodge has nailed it! its an origonal me 262 cannon. captured very early on in development, the plane is long gone but the gun still stands in pristine condition in a warehouse at work.

when your firing shells that big at a rate of several per second, you don't have to be an expert marksman, just pick a city block and go to town :2thumbs:
So if that's a BK 5 (50mm) cannon, it is a 1 of 4 part as only 2 Me 262's were fitted with a pair of those bad boys.....that's very rare!

so this gun fires more like a gatlin gun? I kinda thought it was more like a gun on a tank, where they load one big shell at a time, and kaa-boom! one big shot. remember in transformers movie? where they call in the plane to shoot that scorpion thing? it shows the plane circling and we have the view from behind the gun, it shows the tracer bullets firing down at the scorpion at a fast rate, is it more like that? that is one of my favorite scenes in that movie
if i remember right those were A10's in transformers, i really don't know if it shoots that fast but even a tank can fire rounds every 5 seconds or so if their not changing round types,

the c130 scene si nto quite right, the fast paced fire is not the 105, thats the smaller rounds it fires, the 105 takes a few seconds to reload.
here's a new one for you, this is a true rarity. only 2 left in existance!

:smilielol: easy guys, thats my boy in the drivers seat.
here is another hint for the "antique" guys they may be in here, this is a picture of the drivetrain in this tank. any antique guy should spot the year from this photo.

so that is a picture of 2 seperate straight 4 cylinder, overhead cam engines side by side? they look like huge displacement 4 cyclynders then, and a big transmission, maybe I am not seeing that right,
One video on youtube that I could find..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JNy0ltovis
its 2 seperate engines and transmissions that are semi-connected . one engine per track. one starter to start the pair.
the engines and transmissions are directly out of the ford car. there are only 2 of these left in the world and the one you see pictured here is 100% origonal. the other has had the origonal drivetrain replaced with jeep components. attached is also a video i shot of us getting it running for veterans day. we ran it on stands because we ran out of time to get it "drivable" the auto tranny's clutches are stuck so rather then risk breaking them we let it go on blocks.

13 years I've lived here and multiple deer daily in the yard and enroute back and forth. In 13 years I have yet to see a horn amongst those deer. I've shot buck(no great rack) in the woods behind the house but never have seen one on the yard just hangin around. I'd be tempted......

I think it's about 1 hour 40 minutes. I'm just south of Gettysburg Pa so it's a pretty straight foward drive. We plan on making a day trip there pretty soon.

Sylvan Beach (WSYR-TV) – Crews at the scene of a crane collapse in Sylvan Beach say it may take several days to get a 130-ton crane uprighted. A large tree branch that fell on the big rig caused it to tip over.
Rescue crews were called to the scene just off Vienna Road just before 8:30 Saturday morning.
State Police investigators say a worker was using the crane to cut down some trees behind a home.
One large tree limb that was cut was just too much weight for the crane, and causing the boom to crash to the ground.
It struck a deck on the back of a home, and sent debris flying. "There are some private boats docked along the edge of the shoreline, and when the crane tipped over, the limbs came down on top of the boats," said Sgt. Scott Nell with the State Police
No injuries were reported, but the crane and some of the boats were leaking fuel.
The Department of Environmental Conservation was brought in to clean up the mess.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was also been called to conduct an investigation, but State Police do not expect charges will be filed.

We just spent last week at the shop setting up this new machine.....it's so awesome! Our new MultiCam 3000 series CNC router. Has an 8-tool changer, 5' x 12' bed and is network-aware. This thing is lightyears ahead of our old router, which we took out back and shot a few months ago. It took a few days to install and get up and running, but it's all hooked up now, we cut 3 jobs with it on Thursday with no problems. I can't wait to try out some real 3D signwork on it. Best of all, its a vacuum table which means no more clamping and very little cleanup with a dust collection system.
I call this Picture "DEAD OF WINTER"
alenglish, I'm taking for granted no one was hurt. Was there someone in the tree falling it? Doesn't even look like there's any counterweight on the crane.
Believe it or not, falling trees is one of the most dangerous jobs for operators. There's so many variables that come into play.

OK, Here's a Substitute Pic. Disregard those other 2 :icon_smile_blackeye: This Pic is from the other day when my Buddy tells me about a old 1800's Dilapitated Haunted house with Monsters upstairs. Said he started going up stairs when he heard a bizarre sound & something chasing him. He was afraid to go back so he got me to Investigate. Sure enough as I was near the top of Stairs I start hearing a really bizarre noise I never heard before. I took a Peek to see 2 Turkey Vultures huddling together in the corner. Viseable in Pic on lower right. My Buddy freaks out as I tell him come take a look. Took him 5 minutes to weasel his way up. It was pretty funny. LEON.

It's a Nikon D80 with a couple different lenses but cropping a picture is the poor man's macro. :icon_smile_big: It's over 10mp so you can crop close ups and as long as it was in focus you can get pretty zoomy. I normally take about 5-10 pictures of the same thing on continuous and then end up deleting a bunch and keeping only a few. I am searching for a macro lens right now because I want to get some real close ups like spiders and bees and bugs and stuff. Looks like I need to step it up so I can get my sack back from Foreman! :2thumbs:

wth? that gun is gigantic and that round, never seen something like that. was that gun in a fort on the edge of some waterway? to take out enemy ships? wonder what the range was. can't imagine the damage a direct hit could do, ka-blammo!
the round itself is 2200 lbs. the gun was one of 12(i think) built for a special class of battleships that were never made due to the early treaties of the 30's(i think) that limited the total weight of warships. the guns were built but the treaty got signed so the "super battleship" was scrapped. now having all of these guns built the govt decided to use them for shore defense. the one pictured is at apg maryland on display. it was set up as shore defense for years until its decomission and placement at the ordanance museum.

Yeah, I know this is a car picture..... :D
But it's my "picture of the day".
I was at a car show tonight and stayed a bit longer than usual. I don't normally bring my tripod to the weekly cruise-in at the A&W, but since I had it, and the weather was cooperating, I thought I'd do something a bit different from the normal.
As I was photographing this Challenger, the owner came along and seemed quite interested in my attempts to do his car justice.
When I suggested that moving it across the parking lot for a better background, he eagerly accommodated my wishes.
So this is the final product.
It's the first time I've done a triple exposure, the background, car (with flash), and the headlights were all separate shots.

the round itself is 2200 lbs. the gun was one of 12(i think) built for a special class of battleships that were never made due to the early treaties of the 30's(i think) that limited the total weight of warships. the guns were built but the treaty got signed so the "super battleship" was scrapped. now having all of these guns built the govt decided to use them for shore defense. the one pictured is at apg maryland on display. it was set up as shore defense for years until its decomission and placement at the ordanance museum.
Dude........thats the gun the Death Star used to destroy planets!!! ;D

Yeah, I know this is a car picture..... :D
But it's my "picture of the day".
I was at a car show tonight and stayed a bit longer than usual. I don't normally bring my tripod to the weekly cruise-in at the A&W, but since I had it, and the weather was cooperating, I thought I'd do something a bit different from the normal.
As I was photographing this Challenger, the owner came along and seemed quite interested in my attempts to do his car justice.
When I suggested that moving it across the parking lot for a better background, he eagerly accommodated my wishes.
So this is the final product.
It's the first time I've done a triple exposure, the background, car (with flash), and the headlights were all separate shots.

That CHevelle is exactly what got me into cars when I was a wee ladd. Neighbor down the street had a white one just like it. God bless him for having it and turning that muscle car switch on inside of me at such a young age.
That Chevelle is one nasty car. You take your foot off the gas pedal and it feels like you downshifted. Nasty I say. It's been laid up all summer in the shop, gettin a little body maintenance.
My favorite Chevelle of all time.

It's a Nikon D80 with a couple different lenses but cropping a picture is the poor man's macro. :icon_smile_big: It's over 10mp so you can crop close ups and as long as it was in focus you can get pretty zoomy. I normally take about 5-10 pictures of the same thing on continuous and then end up deleting a bunch and keeping only a few. I am searching for a macro lens right now because I want to get some real close ups like spiders and bees and bugs and stuff. Looks like I need to step it up so I can get my sack back from Foreman! :2thumbs:

:o wow, cool pics
nice pics alright,..
I wonder why folks post them so dang big though, so that 20 - 30% of the picture is cut off,.. and you have to scroll right and spoll the composition and overall effect?... :shruggy:
the measure ments i have found to work after experamenting extensvly this week are 750 wide or 670 tall.
I also notice that few pics are taken tall... you know, with a higher aspect ratio then wider... :shruggy:
:popcrn:
Dave,
I suspect the reason you can't get the whole picture on your screen is because of the settings on your display. The pictures show up in full on my screen because I choose the higher setting. Give it a try if you want. Control Panel, Display, Settings, Screen Resolution(I have mine set to 1280x1024)
Eric,
Notice the bugs, and pretty mean ones too, allowing me to effectively maintain man cardage. :icon_smile_big:

Depends on your monitor size/screen resolution. If your screen is set to 1024x768 (about right for a 17" monitor) then Mike's pictures will be too large (but they'd make nearly perfect background images). A 19" monitor will typically display 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 for a 21" monitor so anyone using those resolutions won't usually have to scroll at all. Everyone has a different environment so what is "right" for one person could be too large or small for others. Most browsers have a setting to resize large images to eliminate scrolling but I've found that they usually make the image too blurry for me (and I'll squint looking for details when the original size would have shown them clearly).
Troy
Great point on the monitor size. On my dell mini10 no matter what I do the pictures will be too big for the screen.
PS all pictures were taken yesterday.
Don't know if anybody has seen this guys work before but he does some amazing drawings in Chalk on the sidewalks. LEON.
I usually keep mine at 640x480 800x600 sometimes works out fine for most folks.

I didn't realize you could get different size pictures by having different size monitors,.. my relitivly new flat screen dell measures 17 inch Diag. as opposed to my old huge 60 Lb. dell 19 inch,..
used to be i'd do the 640 size but now the 75o size seems optimum,.. so,.. is their a default size built into these that can be tweeked?..
and how do/did the Alaska pics i posted come out for you guys too big or too small?..

Photos are great...love the study in black and white with the hint of color...always hated the 80's negative stuff in bizarre colors. However the pic of the Pug took my breath away. I lost my Chui after 13 years together and she was a little black and fawn pug...with attitude and lots of love. Mark's a big dog kind of guy and she stole his heart quick.
That's my 2nd pug. I lost my one eyed pug named Olive at Christmas 1 1/2 years ago. :'( LEON.

Hmmm I did not see the little wheels and enderle style bird catcher on his back?
now why would a bee try to catch a bird?????? sometimes i just kill myself
Seeing the bees made me think of this....
A coworker of mine raises bees as a hobby, and he had a hive swarm into one of the trees on his property. He called me up and asked me to help him retrieve the swarm. Really all I did was help run the crane in case he started getting stung and couldn't do it himself. The first pics are the swarm in the tree, and the others are after we got them down and into the hive box. I got a free quart of pure honey for my troubles, and didn't get stung once.
...
Another bug...
I snapped this picture while following my daughter on her way to college almost two weeks ago.
It'd have been a great shot if not for the raindrops on the windshield (it was still sprinkling enough that they were always there) and with better camera equipment. May have been a great rainbow behind us considering the severity of the storm we had just driven through, but we were headed away from it and couldn't see.
Seen Eddie Money & Pat Travers at DTE (a.k.a pine knob) on my Birthday last Saturday night. Here's Pat Traver's jamming with Eddie Money. Great show, had front row seats. :2thumbs: LEON.
love the pics and since someone else posted a music related pic, here is one of Gibson Les Paul doublcut I refnished alpine white. This angle against the leather background adds a bit of interesting texture to the shot.

I like that pic oldrock. I have some black satin and some white satin that I've used as a backdrop for some of my instruments and that has worked well too.
thanks, yep satin works really well too. Basically anything with a nice contrasting texture and color helps on instrument shots. I love taking pics so have been enjoying alot of the pics everyone is sharing.

This picture is from about a year and a half ago, but it's about the only picture I ever took that was noteworthy...
found this pic on the web, and wish and want to discover how to get this technique.
It's related I bet to the photo technique and equipment i posted on earlier in the Yr. that noone but Magnum responded to,..
anyhow here's the pic...
and the thread, http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,58740.0.html
sorry the subject is a car, and a rice rocket at that,.. shoot me. :shruggy:
That picture looks to be tonemapped. Or it is just a pretty good shot with a few highlights here and there. I don't have the time right now to read the thread you posted above but will look at it when I get home.
Night shots are hard to really make pop. Ive got a couple good ones from many years ago when I was in San Fran going to school. I'll try to find them.
Crop that little rocket out and put your car in there. LOL :2thumbs:
I don't know if it's HDR (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm), but it's something I'd like to learn more about.
Instructive link, thanks I'll study it in detail later... :2thumbs:
Ok, I can really see the pic now and it appears to be an attempt at HDR. I myself do not dig the blurred lights in the background. I'm gonna guess that the photographer bracketed the shots(maybe 3, maybe 5) and then tried to align them most likely using photomax or a variant thereof and the lights came out blurry due to camera shift during the shots. It's pretty much gotta be dead calm to keep it all still. Night shots are tough for sure.
Check this guy out for a wow factor in some serious HDR.
I don't think he admits it to be HDR but it has to be. It's incredible regardless.
I am actually fooling around with HDR at this very momnent because I tend to lean more towards the in your face photos myself. Almost fake if you will. I really dig that shizzle!
http://nature-lover.smugmug.com/
What is HDR you ask. High Dynamic Range. A post-processing of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed. In a nutshell.
I believe this is the look you might be trying to achieve Dave. If you are looking for the blurred effect then photoshop or picasa can achieve that pretty easily.
Hope it helped.
Mike

Very cool pics, definitely that second one.
This is my first HDR pic ever. very cookie cutter but it's a start. I only bracketed 3 shots. I think 5 is the way to go but my d80 will only AE 3 on it's own so I'll have to manually bracket, which will most likely cause some sort of camera shake. Hopefully the software can align it.
Anyway, cool stuff.
Ignore the watermark, haven't licensed the software yet. There is a free HDR program on the web but it's junk pretty much.
Here's mine from Monday

Photoshop CS3 is the only one I am aware of. Ill ask him though :2thumbs:
That HDR stuff is interesting, but it seems like a elaborate term for what I would just call "photoshopped."
Not to get all technical and stuff but any picture that is enhanced in any kind of way could basically be called photoshopped, right?
HDR is multiple pics of the same scene with different exposures allowing you to capture just about every tone/contrast/color. Then you combine the pictures into one and map it out so you can see all the best parts of the photo without losing anything. This is impossible with one shot out of any camera. I really dig it and is definitely my direction from here on out with my little photography hobby that I picked up 10 minutes ago.LOL
In your face, explosive shots. The photographer still has to see the shot and know how to work the camera options. What a great way to learn about aperature, shutter speeds etc...... I've leaned more about my camera in a week than I ever would have had I not ran into HDR.
BTW I'm not contesting your statement at all Mike. I just really have no allegiance to normal photography like one shot and done, I like it but not a purist as evidenced by the paint scheme on my car.hahaha.
After all, art is art.

what friend?
Here's a picture of a Cecropia moth we caught the other day at work...
Here's a picture of the historic Delta Queen, built for $1 million in 1926, cruising last summer in Marietta, OH on the Ohio River.
Democrats in Congress (primarily Rep. Oberstar of Minnesota who's chair of the House transportation committee and let the I-35 bridge fall on his watch a couple years ago and all of his cronies scared to break rank because they'd get less pork) refused to grant the Delta Queen a tenth straight exemption from federal fire safety laws that allow the boat to be inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard and continue to operate as an overnight passenger vessel.
Now it's docked in Chattanooga, TN and being used as an overnight hotel. It was the last steam powered Sternwheel in service in America's rivers. Gone now, reportedly because the company kicked the Seafarers International Union off the boat. The union is headquartered in, where else, Duluth, MN...

Leon, no real secret, just fooling around with different programs is all. Type in High Dynamic Range in your search engine. :2thumbs:
Truth is I keep about 2-3 pictures out of every 200-300 I take. Most everything I take I don't quite like for some reason or another.
But everyone's tastes are different so what I like you may not etc... Bottom line is, it's all art and it's all good.
i'd love to see you do a morning/eveining photohoot with JB666s' New Jenny! :D
It's funny you should say that, hmmmmm. ;D :D
We took our son to the park this weekend and in the distance i saw this mushroom. i've never seen one get this tall before. it had to be over a foot.
Cought this snake while digging in a Dump :o :o Was at least as long as me, maybe bigger so about 7" probably. I put him on the trail & when we turned around a few minutes later could not find him. Ends up he climbed up this Tree. LEON.
WTF do you live and why are you still there??? :lol:
that's a big guy. i think he left his skin at my place last month. :smilielol: here is a pic of some snake's skin i found out back. it's next to Rex who is over 5 feet long.

Went to the Walkway over the Hudson which opened yesterday (in the rain). (info: www.walkway.org ).
Took a bunch of pics but I dig the 2 panarama shots I took with the HX1 from the middle of the walkway.
It is built on top of the 1888 Poughkeepside RR bridge which spans from Poughkeepsie to Highland NY. Now the longest pedestrian bridge in the country... maybe the world ( need to fact check ). Height 212 feet over the Hudson river.
1st is looking north up the Hudson, 2nd is looking south past the FDR bridge.

I see at least 3 cars...and 1 black minivan.
How come the bridge and down the street don't appear to be all that blurry but the building's in the immediate background look real blurry? Allthough the water sky and far off background do look real.
What I'm trying to say is the bridge looks like it might be farther away than those out of focus building's.

oh ya, I see the black minivan now, and the cars under carports kind of. that is really trippy, really looks like a model.
cars are easy to put in a model and people are also if they are far enough away, the pic is cool but i'm a skeptic, i'll believe it if i see another pic without the effects and different traffic pedestrian patterns, maybe even a ship in the water or a dolphin jumping around.....................................

re the pic that looks like a model... one easy way to show it is real is to take a pic when there is some wind. That is one thing the model builders can't really replicate. Wind makes waves on the water and bows the trees in a specific way. Very hard to make a model that would reflect all that. BTW, if that is a model the trees are fantastic! They are not your average very uniform looking overly green things most models use.

There's a real technique to getting that "toylike" feel in the pics. There's a guy who's mastered the technique to create some really intriguing time lapse movies on Youtube...here's an example. Really cool stuff!

Actually, I'll try to get that shot when we are on Treasure Island this coming Sunday morning on our cruise to Santa Cruz down Coast Highway 1. There will probably be a bit of fog so the ambiance
will be different.

I can vouch for Mikepmcs. As soon as I noticed the picture, I knew that it was Augusta Maine looking from the Memorial bridge down onto Water St. BTW I live 5 minutes from Augusta and go over the bridge all the time.
Mike does take amazing pictures and by the looks of his pics he definately is very talented.

Holy moly, that is incredible. I'm torn between his ability to make this time lapse or the power he must have to stage a fake search and rescue when that guy fell in to the ocean. :lol:
On another note, no time to stop and take a picture today but I'll gen one up from a previous photo, gimme a few minutes.
Cool pics!
LI R/T, you come by my neck of the woods and dont even give me a heads up :RantExplode:
BTW, next time your around i live in Williamsburg Brooklyn...shoot me a PM!
Looked at pic more closely. I say you took that not far or right off of kent ave in Brooklyn....literally maybe 5 min from where i live.
Can't really find a good picture to do the fake miniature with. The trick is to be well above the subject and not to zoom in too much. I just started doing this so most of my exposures are set up for HDR process. I have a few ideas for some mini pictures but I have to get the church in town to let me get up in the Belfry so I can take pics of my buddy Danny's shop across the street. I think that will make a good one with cars in the front and stuff.

Thanks Finn. :icon_smile_big:
I guess I have to agree with you on that one and I have gone the sephia/blue/black&white route thinking at the time that it was the thing to do. Heck, I might have even posted a couple up here. Nowadays you gotta stray from the norm and I'm trying to break my own habits and to look outside the box. You can see I'm still pretty conventional but little by little I'm getting there. :2thumbs:
I'm looking towards submitting some pics to istockpohoto and shutterstock to see if I can join the royalty crowd but obviously they are saturated(punny) with nature and the like. Would be cool if Getty saw my stuff and sad come on in but Getty Images and Corbis are the "epitome of excellence" as Vern used to say.(the celebrity of the photo world basically)
Anyway, I'll just keep putzin along and maybe someday I can turn this in to more than a hobby. Never been too smart on the business end of things. ;D

3 or 4 years ago I posted pics of a dump truck/ trailer combo flipped here, same exact spot. had been full of gravel.
last week another guy does the same thing, got the pic on the cell phone while driving, lucked out on the spacing between cars in oncoming traffic that could have blocked the shot, (and in not crashing myself, heh)
Looks like it's hard to make a wide turn there and that 12" curb does it's job :pity:
I guess so. also, its called the w. seattle freeway, though speed limit is 35, and its at least a 90 degree turn, you gotta slow down a lot to make it, and hope you don't get rear ended, so people tend to take it a little fast I would say, don't know about the dump trucks though, what is causing it exactly. you think he's going up on the wall a little cause it won't make the corner? (found the last pics, the gravel blocked both lanes this other time) was digital camera while driving slower
WOW thats pretty good, both in the same spot. Maybe same guy too :rofl:
yeah, the pup is so far back he's not getting it around that high curbing, a REAL truck driver would have blocked both lanes with his 4-ways on before he got there to properly facilitate the turn, bet no one from his company warned him before getting there the first time, bet he knows now :brickwall:
Sometimes friends can really make your day:

Great picture Jen! What's the deal with senior pics now? Karisa (Lisa's daughter) was responsible for her own senior portrait this year.... of course they never told me and last minute hijinks ensued with her borrowing my camera and running around on Columbus day... KIDS!!! ::)
Hey... don't be a stranger either!!! Missya!
Thanks for the welcome backs.
Thanks Brock. You have some awesome pictures in this thread. The picture of your car with the bridge in the backround is my favorite.
Love the Boston harbor picture mikepmcs!
mauve66 Its a kid thing. lol
Looks nice Musicman. I am very proud of her. All of the kids have that silly little thing in their nose and 500 of them in the ears :shruggy: its a kid thing I guess.
Hey Brian. I miss you guys too, just busy working a lot and i have no internet at work. They get the senior pictures done early in the year. I ended up taking her pictures and 5 of her friends.
I think it's awesome that technology is allowing parents and teens to submit their own class pictures. That is a big unnecessary expense IMO and can easily be done with a little practice. I've also been asked to do some senior photos but if you'll notice there aren't too many people in my photos so I'll have to get some practice in as well.
When I took my buddy Rob's holiday pictures last year I thought they really sucked but they seemed to like them. Removed the family and took a picture of just the background and thought it was great. Guess my distance from people/humans comes through in my pictures haha. I think I might go and try to take some pictures of people this weekend in town.hmmm.
Anyway rambling now.
Jen, your daughter is absolutely gorgeous and you captured it dead on in the photograph. I hope I can do that well when the time comes. :bow:

Mike
You should try. I did a friends wedding in July (talk about stress). Didn't want to but they kept asking. I told them the same thing, my pictures are of dogs, cars, flowers, and bugs, ect. Not people. The pictures came out good and they were very happy with them. You most definitely have the talent.
Thanks Jen, too kind.
Ok, I'll go out this weekend and try to interact with humans and steal some souls. I need to post some more pics up here anyway. This is becoming my favorite thread and hope y'all start posting more pictures. :2thumbs:
ELANMARS, where are you. :icon_smile_cool:
Hey guys, check out all the firewood I managed to stockpile this summer from a tree cutter friend, ten bucks a truck load, delivered. there is another big pile on other side of fence that I threw over, and some stacked along the fence in backyard.
If it snows again this winter and gets real cold, I don't plan on freezing my butt off again this year, I am ready!!

When I get stressed out at work, which has been happening a lot lately, I go sit here for an hour or so. Peace and quiet, best of all, no cell phone signal.

thank you Mike.
These are of the fountain at Seattle Center in september also, usually a nice time of year here, though it varies as you can see from the salmon fishing pic. These were cell phone pics also. hard to get the timing with the cell, there is a delay from when you push the button. the master blaster fountain blast is only for a second, then the water comes crashing down and splashes off the dome and gets people wet. all those kids running around the thing were having a blast, and the water jets are all random as far as which jet they shoot from, and timed to music playing.
A lake in NM I was at the first of the year.
1. A Maple tree in the corner of our yard.
2. A spider web with morning dew. I could have done a better job taking this. ::)
3. Frog in the bushes.
4. At a jobsite up in Wa. 70mph winds, needless to say we were winded out. This is my operator seeing how far he could lean forward w/o falling over. It was two more weeks before we were able to go back to work. It sucked sitting in the motel.
1. East of Estacada, Or. I thought this was cool so I bailed off the side of the road with the crane to take the shot.
2. same as above
3. On our way out in the puckerbrush. I think we were setting bridge beams.
4. I like this shot. Sunset, day before the windstorm. Notice the pic on the back side wall of the cab. My daughter painted me a picture.
I never realised how big those wind generators are, that truck looks like a tonka toy beside that thing :o
Here's a pic I took yesterday along the niagara river, from below the Brock Tower on the canadian side overlooking Lewiston, NY, and Niagara-on-the-Lake, On.

Very cool pictures.

That's awesome Jen. It looks like he's waving to you.
What do you use for a macro....specs, brand if you don't mind. I bought a super cheapo just to mess around and well you know what they say. I can't get one decent pic. I photographed a wasp for over almost 2 hours the other day. Deleted every picture. :lol:

lol. That picture was taken with my Canon powershot S3 IS With a Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro/Close-Up lens. On a tripod, With the bug in a light box. It's a learning curve for sure. I'll take about 800 pictures and only be able to use about 10. I'm using a Canon Rebel xti now. I just got the 100mm macro f 2.8 for it and have yet to try it out. Maybe today. What are you using?

I got junk apparently :smilielol: :lol:
I have a nikon d80 with no name macro opticon, rubikon, trashicon, igotconned, whatever.... :lol: and I don't even know the specs, semi fisheye/macro la la la. don't have the lingus to get the real lens. I'm also wanting to upgrade to a nikon d3x eventually. Using this d80 to learn the ropes, then i'll probably sell my 67 coronet to get the rest of the equipment I want. I want that epson 4880 printer too. :icon_smile_big:
The d80 is a nice camera. You would have been better off getting the close up lens set. CLASSIC High Definition +1 +2 +4 +10 Closeup Macro Filter Set. You can get them for short cash (amazon). I have some and they are not to bad. I had one of the wide angle macros like you and they are crap. Good for wide angle but the macro part is a joke.
My lens was a early birthday/Christmas presant.
Funny, I was going to look at epson printers today. I think that one is out of my price range. :rotz:

It's nice the 810 comes with the duplexer. That's an accessory for the 800.
I was buying chinese ink off ebay for my last epson and it worked out OK but this one isn't happy with it :shruggy:
Anyway, Epsons make great photos. It has a tray for regular paper and 4x6 or 5x7 photo paper.
This pic that I took at the starting line that was edited by Rick E. From Island Dragway yesterday. That's his son's Magnum in the left lane. The Lincoln driver got Medevac'd out.

Not real sure... he took a left from the right lane, crashed into the left guardrail and bounced back into the right lane upside down. Apparently the guy is OK tho. We left soon after anyhow... figured the day was practically over and wasn't getting any better.

The 3rd and like the 5th one are awesome because you framed them with trees closer to you. All the pictures are awesome but those two are my faves in that bunch. Play with the ISO setting a bit and see what you can pull out of the darkness. Higher ISO mixed with the right A/S setting = blam! I am learning as well so just passing on some junk. :icon_smile_big: :2thumbs:
I have a long way to go yet, but it's fun. :icon_smile_cool:
Beautiful sunset SeattleChargerDog.
Great shot Mike.
thank you dart3404 and Mike.
Hey Mike, what does this mean? can you give me a hint? Is this in my camera? or in the photo working program?

What do you use to shoot with. I would imagine you have options for various ISO(film speed) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed settings and I'm sure you can program Shutter(exposure measured in time,examples...1sec 2sec 1/30, 1/800 1/200 etc...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_speed and Aperture(depth of field, Fstops, etc..) http://digital-photography-school.com/aperture as well. I'll be able to help more when I know what cam you have. If you already said it, I apologize. I went back a few pages but didn't see anything.
Jen's pic above, I would say she had a shutter(or exposure time) of around a couple seconds or less. If you don't use a filter during the day, you risk too much light coming through and it will wash your shot out. Maybe she used a Neutral Density Filter, maybe not. If it was a bright day, then you almost would have to...but I can't really tell. She had just the right amount of exposure time(S)with an equal amount of aperture(f stop) to get the right DOF(depth of field) and judging by how little noise in the picture she had a ISO in the 100ish range. If I'm wrong she will swiftly correct me I'm sure. :lol: But that is just what I see.
ISO is a fun one to mess with but it gets noisy when you start speeding it up(more sensitivity=possible degraded quality)
These above articles will really help out.
:icon_smile_big:
It was a cloudy day. ISO100 F/22, shutter speed 1.8 second to get the water to flow.
ISO is the film speed. A is aperture and S would be shutter speed. They are settings on your camera, if you have manual or creative controls.
I'm taking a course online. http://www.proudphotography.com/. But there is a ton of info out there. http://digital-photography-school.com like Mike said is a great place too, it's free and has a lot of useful info.
Is this shadow even possible? I got this in an e-mail forward, but if the shapes have 3 circles together in the railing i dont see how it can elongate the top one. Me thinks this is someones photochop Tomfoolery. :shruggy:

i know that helps for me :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :icon_smile_big:
hmmmmmmmmm
I'd say it's quite possible.
If the openings tapered down to a finer edge rather then the thick walls that are there, then I'd say you could expect three circles in a sort of clover like fashion.
If you take the three circles that you expect to see and then add in some straight lines on the side - caused by the straight lines that are part of the depth of the railing - then it could be..
Think of the openings in the railing as three cylinders rather than three circles. Then consider that the light isn't shining straight through and perpendicular to the cylinder openings, you have to allow for the sides of the cylinders to cast shadows. Since the inner parts of the cylinders are open, then you allow for light to shine right through the middle. Add it all up and you've sidewalk sausages.
I edited the pic and circled two points. one is the cylinder sides that I'm talking about and the other is the part of the shadow that it is casting.

actually yes it is possible...it looks like those round openings are pretty deep, and if the light is hitting the opening at the right angle along the profile you might get an elongated shape like that. I'll try putting in my Sketchup 3D with a light source and see if I can duplicate it.
sure enough....it's possible! LOL :icon_smile_big: not exactly the same but close.

Mike what HDR program are you using? I just got a trial of Photomatix Pro3. Haven't tried it yet.
That's the one. There's a couple more but the one you have is the right one. 3.2.6 is the latest version BTW. I have bracketed up to 14 shots but in reality, it really isn't needed. 5 shots should be sufficient and even 3 will work just fine. +/- 2 on the EV scale will get the job done. Too many exposures and you have a high risk of chromatic abberation and also some digital scaling appears as well(i'd have to screw one up on purpose to show you exactly what I mean) In other words, there is such thing as too much of a good thing with HDR.
You can do HDR in photoshop as well. I need Photoshop CS4 though. Working with an earlier versioin that just doesn't have the options the new CS's do. Lens blur is one of the filter options I really need. Gaussian blur just doesn't have that realistic lens blur feel(mimicks a macro lens shot for tilt shift/fake mini's)
Ok, I'm babbling now, have a nice day. ;D

Here is my pic of the day.
OF COURSE it's a photoshop...I already admitted to it (I made it). :smilielol:
I made it a couple of years ago to 1) creep out a friend who hates spiders and 2) to make people's eyes water in a "gross me out" thread topic on another internet forum of which I'm a member.
It's not a particularly good photoshop, either. I only spent like 10 minutes on it...cut/pasted a spider onto an eye surgery pic, then manually drew in some shadows to try to make it look realistic to the casual observer.
It got the reaction I was looking for, though. :smilielol:

I was snapping pics with my new camera - just getting the hang of things.
This is a sheet of uncut Coke cans that I have hanging in my rec room.
I thought it was a little Warhol-esc - maybe after some time in photoShop, perhaps?
Question for the experts - if I might be permitted a bit of a hijack: I can take RAW + JPEG file formats, What can I do with the RAW files?
As I understand it, it's what the sensor actually captured - without any kind of processing. So, you could do some processing with software on the computer.
Am I close?
Not an expert but i'll answer. You are not only close, but pretty much dead on.
Think of a RAW image as a film negative. It's not usable just yet as an image but has all the info in order for you to manipulate it with various programs to create the image you want.
A raw image has a wider color gamut than a jpeg. It prevents loss of data and overly compressed files leading to loss of color. Hope that answers your question a little bit. If not, ask away.
jpeg compresses files and you lose color and tone.
OK, now you are ready for bracketing. :coolgleamA:
What kind of rig you sporting?
Thanks for the info.
I've got a
Nikon D5000
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
I was really holding out for a D90, but my wife went and bought this setup for me for Christmas.
Now that I have it, I think it's more than enough as I think I have a lot to learn before the rig really matters.
And the store where she got it has a pretty decent trade up program - if I catch on to this stuff quickly.
Off to google bracketing. ;)
Service advisory for the D5000(check your serial number, a certain number experienced an issue with powering up) http://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/D5000-Service-Advisory.page Just an FYI. I'm a huge Nikon fan as well, so I will now spend an enormous amount of time assisting you. We can all learn this stuff together. If you would have said Canon, I would have deleted my post and most likely never spoken with you again.( i can't imagine what kind of crap that's gonna stir up.....it's a joke people, kinda like Chrysler and Chevy)
What's cool about the D5000 bracketing selection(when you have it selected) is you only have to release the shutter once and the camera records 3 shots with different exposures. Where that is most beneficial is you don't have to worry about any movement in between shots in case you were using them for layering purposes(ie: HDR high dynamic range. GTS(Google That Shit)
Even on my camera, I have to make sure my camera doesn't move because I have to release my shutter for each individual shot while using bracketing. I set mine on manual and manipulate the A/S settings every shot. Mostly I set the aperture and select different shutter speeds for my bracketing. That is..unless I'm shooting something close up and then of course I would want a large aperture setting(low f number f2.8 f4 etc...) to blur out the background. Ok, I'm rambling...... read this for aperture explanation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number
You will want to try your ADL(auto dynamic ranging) as well. This will really perk up your pics as well.(contrast, color,etc...) Don't know how that would work in RAW format though. (check this out http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d300/dynamic-range.htm )
Ok, time for me to get in to my manual and on the net to make sure I don't get complacent with my limited knowledge. Thanks for bringing up the question, you have my brain working again. Photography is continuous and if you stop learning or trying new things, then you limit yourself.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with just wanting to take family snapshots as well. But you'll have the best damn photos in the family that's for sure.

Service advisory for the D5000(check your serial number, a certain number experienced an issue with powering up) http://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/D5000-Service-Advisory.page Just an FYI. I'm a huge Nikon fan as well, so I will now spend an enormous amount of time assisting you. We can all learn this stuff together. If you would have said Canon, I would have deleted my post and most likely never spoken with you again.( i can't imagine what kind of crap that's gonna stir up.....it's a joke people, kinda like Chrysler and Chevy)
What's cool about the D5000 bracketing selection(when you have it selected) is you only have to release the shutter once and the camera records 3 shots with different exposures. Where that is most beneficial is you don't have to worry about any movement in between shots in case you were using them for layering purposes(ie: HDR high dynamic range. GTS(Google That Shit)
Even on my camera, I have to make sure my camera doesn't move because I have to release my shutter for each individual shot while using bracketing. I set mine on manual and manipulate the A/S settings every shot. Mostly I set the aperture and select different shutter speeds for my bracketing. That is..unless I'm shooting something close up and then of course I would want a large aperture setting(low f number f2.8 f4 etc...) to blur out the background. Ok, I'm rambling...... read this for aperture explanation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number
You will want to try your ADL(auto dynamic ranging) as well. This will really perk up your pics as well.(contrast, color,etc...) Don't know how that would work in RAW format though. (check this out http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d300/dynamic-range.htm )
Ok, time for me to get in to my manual and on the net to make sure I don't get complacent with my limited knowledge. Thanks for bringing up the question, you have my brain working again. Photography is continuous and if you stop learning or trying new things, then you limit yourself.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with just wanting to take family snapshots as well. But you'll have the best damn photos in the family that's for sure.
Cool! More stuff to learn.
I've already found that the bracketing makes a huge difference. I took many pics of stuff in low light and didn't use the flash - and they turned out fine.
I know it's just a start. As I figure out more, I'll build on it.
I've been spending time on http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/ as well.
Mostly looking for inspiration in the form of "That looks interesting. How can I do that?", and since they tend to post the EXIF info with the pics and explain their technique, I can find things that are within my limits and find things that I can work toward.

Neat!
My wife is a Coca-Cola collector on a small scale. A colleague of mine at a previous company had this and was doing nothing with it. So, he gave it to me to give to her.
It competes with her Santa Coke picture as the number one piece in her collection. (I took a picture of that too but it didn't turn out very well at all.)
Looks like another Saturday night spent with good friends :cheers:

I'm on the Base in Comox, but my work can take me to practically anywhere, depending on the need for my services. Tomorrow I'll be driving down to Pat Bay (near Sidney) to inspect a Sea King helicopter. While I'm down there, I plan on driving out to Deep Cove to see a house I used to live in, and a school I went to.
Very cool :cheers:

a stamp mill? what did it stamp?
Quartz rocks. They would bring in quartz rock from the mines and put it in the stamp mill to smash it up. This made it easier to get the gold. They would then take the smashed rock out and pan it or sluce box it. :scratchchin: I think I spelled sluce wrong... ? :shruggy: I need you Dan. :smilielol: Most times a gold vain is in quartz rock. If you're panning in a river or creek, a good place for gold is in black sand.

And yes I know but we're not suppose to post car pics...hope you guys dont mind ;D
Finn
What program(s) is he using? Photomatix, topaz adjust??
Awesome!
Photomatix and Photoshop. Matix is used to combine the pictures and do the initial editing then shop is used for final lighting and stuff like that.
Can one of you guys do a photo of people with that freaky effect? :shruggy:
Yes. You can do it with one exposure but it's not exactly the same as multiple exposures. Multiple exposure values layered together is what allow you to capture all the different tones and map them out to blow out certain colors to attain the desired result. If Finn gives me permission I will attempt to do it with that picture above so you can get an idea of before and after. I would immediately delete them from my computer after.
I rarely take pictures of people so I can't help you on the human front.
COOL! I know nothing about this stuff! :scratchchin:
Go for it!
this is a very quick render. i don't have the photoshop skills or the photoshop program to do this any justice.

I know that because I was coming home from Indiana over the winter and the snow was melting which caused a whole lot of fog. I couldn't see much but at one point this giant propeller appeared out of nowhere and scared me to death. A little farther down the road it cleared a little and I could see them everywhere. It's pretty neat!
I guess there aren't enough rich people with beach houses in that area to hold up windmill farms for 9 years...

Out near Palm Springs, CA there are hundreds of them all lined up in rows.
Here are a few photos of a crane that is used to intall them. Sorry, couldn't get the whole thing in the frame, but you get the idea.
This was from the BAUMA show a few weeks back.

I'd like any pix of the cranes you took Shakester, please.
This block may look like it'd take a crew of bodybuilders to reeve it but Liebherr's crane's have this numbin' pressed onto the end of the load line. You reeve it with this itty bitty wire a little bigger than fishin' line than hook it on to that numbin' & run the fishin' line opposite of the main hoist load line & it reeves itself. Pretty trick.
On the old iron it'd take us more than an hour to reeve a block half the size of this one.

Just as well. It just makes me yearn to be back out in the field. I went out in style since I was on a brand new 360ton hydraulic mobile Liebherr. You don't know what 'cha had till it's gone. :-\
IMO crane ops must be born with big f**king brass ones! I've got beauceau helicopter time but put in me a skyscraper, on a tall bridge or catwalk and I'm cringing!

About 15 years ago we had over 100 loads go to a damn with a good majority of them being 15'-17' wide. The last 100 or so miles was two lane. Each load had to have 4 pilot cars. 3 were in front. The extra ones were for any vehicles that didn't want get the hell out of the way after the first car warned them.

I used to go there all the time when my dad was on business trips for the laser show they did. It was pretty awesome if I recall.
A Mourning Dove decided that a flower pot on our deck was a good spot to lay an egg. It layed a second one after I took the pic. My mother is a bird expert and she says it will be about 2 weeks before they hatch and 3 more weeks before they fly away. The mother is always on edge because we are in and out of the door a lot, but she stays there rain or shine. Why she picked there, I don't know, but she's going to have to get used to the foot traffic.

We got about a dozen of the Blackfin Tuna - all huge. We actually had the both the bull and the cow Dolphin hooked at the same time but we only got the cow on board (the bull was much larger). Still a great day. FYI - saw no oil.

I didn't but now that i'm looking at it it looks all messed up like it's a bad photoshop or something. is that what you are referring too?
I have a 23x45 i just printed out of that picture this morning and it looks like that as well. i can only think it is just the way the current looked in the water due to it being kind of closed in by a surrounding pier or something, like that's where the water terminates basically so the ripples are less? good catch.
looks like i need to make another trip to boston at some point. :icon_smile_big:

Exactly, it looks smudged compared to the rest of the water. You can probably just clone-stamp it though. If you want, email me the full size one and Ill see if I can mess with it.

The only time i see the point in posting a pic with a car included is if its part of the scenery. For example, the pics that mike posted.
Or if we took some vintage gas station pics...ect with the cars not being the main focal point.
I had a fun little clean up job last week. On July 4th, fireworks from the neighbors
party landed on a hay trailer parked next to a customers horse barn. The trailer
had 300 square bales on it. The fire dept. quickly saved the barn but scattered
smoldering hay through out a 100 yard area.
The barn was built in 1830. Absolutely beautiful building. Thanks to the
Canfield, Ohio Fire Dept. this historic barn and seven horses were saved.

i saw the big dip in the sand there and thought it would be low tide, sorry

It was Insane. Loop de Loop, Wingovers, Dive and pull- up, the works. The sensation of my face being pulled back and fighting to hold my head up against the G- forces was incredible. It took two hands to hold the camera up, I was sitting in the back seat and at times looking straight down ahead at the Pilot. Throughly recommend it, though my legs were like jelly afterwards but I was on a high that lasted all day. New respect for Pilots that can do that. :2thumbs:

Here's one I took of a wild flower here in the Australian Outback

Really like 1970 Moparmann's acid flashback type of pic :2thumbs:

Around the grounds at the VA here in Maine....
Man, I wish we had those skies out here in Cali more often. Looks amazing!
These are from a zombie shoot I did last Friday just for fun. I actually want to redo the entire shoot because all the friends I used were first time models and we ended up just goofing around more than really staging the shots. It was disorganized but fun. I'm using the photos anyway to try my hand at adding muzzle flashes, blood splatter effects.
Been going through a lot of tutorials online. Its pretty fun making them more cartoon-ish than usual. Just grabbed these from facebook so the quality isn't the best.

Finn

and thank you.
Just wanted to share a pic that I took in a parking lot next to Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Yes it's been Photoshoped.
love the texture. great picture.
bonus for the words San Francisco and Candlestick.
dave's gonna get on us for posting a picture of vehicles though. :lol:
This was his vision and he asked us not to put cars on here.
I'm guilty myself. So :slap: me too.
"F" that! run what ya' brung... :lol: those are so good they deserve to be on here...
any word on those high resolution pics yet Dave?
Nope - the guy hasn't responded, is their any alturnative to pull this off?... like useing the pics directly off Flicker?.. :shruggy:

Just send me one that you have on your computer of maybe a different picture that you like. just make sure it's high resolution(lots of megapixels)
we can mess around with that other one another time. heck, i might not be able to improve on what you've already taken, but i'll try just for fun.
thanks Bro! :2thumbs:

Thanks, no photoshop - just a pic on standard setting, a minute later it had faded right down. . I thought it was cool enough to get my 6 year old daughter up to see it . She wasnt that impressed though ;D
thoughts?
wow strange, the color is washed when i post those last 2 up here. they have way more color when I pull it up to view it normal.
guess i'm gonna have to print one to really find out.
very strange :scratchchin:
it also looks like that second one is a little right wing down like about 2*.
oh, i got a new 50mm prime 1.4D and I was checking it out yesterday to see how much bokeh I could pull at a distance. I'll have to go back and refocus and reshoot due to me being blind apparently. :lol:
not a lot of room for mistakes with a portrait lens. :icon_smile_blackeye:
these were just the first 2 i even considered processing out of 92 shots i took yesterday(of basically the same thing at different angles). most are already deleted.
i dunno what yur talkin' about but I do know you pretty much rule this thread! :2thumbs:
I like it! Did you stack those yourself?
Just a thought; have you tried making an background copy HDR layer than putting the eraser on a lower opacity and going over everything but the rocks?
It might make them pop more, they're awesome focus points. :cheers:
teach me Finn, i'm all ears. You nailed exactly what I'm trying to do and what is lacking in these photos. I don't know how to do what you just described.
HELP ME!
Dave, thank you very much. I'm glad you like them. ;D
and to answer the rock question. i did not stack the rocks. they just appeared there most likely from a group of Einstein supporters with a lot of energy...... and they must have been very tall to boot.
Miller takes a damn good photo too, but you and Finn seem to be the real talents in the Photo Dept. Some guys have good camera gear and get pretty good pics, step up the the subject, and are wary of the light,.. but you and Finn are the guys who really take it to the next level. Bravo! :popcrn:
Much appreciated. Just having some fun but i'm happy you think they are worthy. :cheers:
Lots of great pictures on this thread for sure.

highly aniticipating the pictures. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :2thumbs:

I love Hawaii! Only vacation that I wanted to go right back to once it was over....
Neat photos Dan :cheers:
Cool! i was there for one day... on the beach... Two weeks sounds glorious! :popcrn:
I lived there for 12 years. You can have it. It's a whole different place when your not on vacation. Bob
...
There's an old islander joke that says...
A guy goes to heaven and he has been great but not really great...so St. Peter gives him a choice...guy asks to see what hell was like since heaven had angels playing harps and such. So he visits hell and everyone is playing and having a good time at the beach. So he goes back and tells St Peter that he would prefer to go to hell...cast down he is now in a blazing inferno and everyone is screaming...guy asks the devil...what happened? devil says...oh...last time you came as a tourist!
Island living isn't vacation...great place to visit...and that pic also looks like Kaupo Gap...hiking out of Haleakala and down into Hana...done it twice...giant akala berries...onolicious! If you ever plan on doing this make reservations at the Hana Hotel and arrange for someone to pick you up at the exiting point in Hana...I don't know if they have cabs in Hana or not at this stage of the game but they didn't back then. There are some amazing perks to growing up there...there are also some heavy pitfalls from the same. I still love my hometown just never want to live there again...better to see it as a tourist!

The ride home from Wyoming into Denver yesterday evening. Cruddy cell phone pic doesn't do the country out there justice. Beautiful just seems to simple of an explination.
Going back out for 2 weeks next month. Hope to shoot up to Devil's tower and over to to Rushmore and the badlands with the wife in tow. :2thumbs:
It actually looks like a painting to me. Nice job. :2thumbs:

Baker,
Awesome pics. I was just out to the badlands, Rushmore, and all that other fun stuff in June. Way fun trip and well worth the time. Rapid City, SD is a fun place and there are a ton of Mopars in that area. I am sure you will enjoy the drive.
Here are a few pics from my most recent trip out there. :)

Lake Almanor at dawn.
Brock Samson,
I've shot several Fleet Weeks back in the day and would never have imagined 4 front line carriers anchored in one small bay at the same time. Seems like very poor judgement on someone's part. Would never have occured on my watch.
Just for clairification, the three front liners and the one museum flat top were all in San Diego... That military base as seen from my Cruise Ship Approx. five stories up while exiting for home was quite AMAZING! :o
Following with the Naval theme but bending the rules slightly Brock, with R/T stripes :icon_smile_big:
I had my car in a tv ad on Monday and I had some time to kill before the shoot, so I took some pics down by the Navy base as the might of the NZ Navy powered past.
Boat looks nice, Like to see whole car in the pic.....
yes.. post the car on the appropriate "show your 68s" :2thumbs:
Brock,
Its a great shot with the compression and all. Now knowing is was shot in SD, the memory of countless pushups, razor sharp creases, batons banging trash cans at the butt crack of dawn, regular ass kickings and the full compliment of boot camp amenities made a tear come to my eye.
...
great pic mike, heres my addition to the thread :2thumbs:
Thank you Sir. I haven't been able to nail a rainbow yet. Great Job. :2thumbs:

Cool, did you take the helicopter ride to get the pic?
no i took it from the tower restaurant on the Canada side. if you go there go up in the restaurant it turns around as you eat your lunch.
the one at the stratosphere here in vegas does that, i've heard its an awesum view also but heard its expensive also......... how much is that one??
you dont want to know i had 8 people with me and it was 307 dollars i think once is enough but it was a nice trip
9 people for 307 bucks, sounds pretty reasonable to me......... 34 bucks each for appetizers, food, desert and drinks (i'm assuming) and a great view?? i've heard the strato is more like 60 a head................
Nice color in that Niagara photo. :2thumbs:

The old Waihi goldmine pumphouse
That building looks like it just got spooked lol. Why so tall?

Haha, I thought that too, the other pic of it had its 'mouth' open more
Height of the building determined the stoke of the pump ram that was used to pump the water out of the mine shaft I believe, it is another level below the road as well.
The new mine is opencast and 180' behind me taking the picture of the pumphouse

I thought it was pretty hot today while working out in the garden, so I went and got the thermometer at 5pm, turned out it sure was, had to replenish fluids :cheers:

Yes, but if it hits 30 C here it's considered a "Hot" Day Unlike in the States, and Aus where 30 C is nothing. It hit 36C recently (don't remember where) Hottest recored day here in NZ was 42.5 I think...but where I live, you sometimes get 100% Humidity so even a
25C day feels like Hell. Hottest I've been in was Phoenix AZ 2006 48C (115-120F?) But I found Thailand tougher 35+C (coming out of Winter) with Major Humidity too!

Here's a pic I took of a statue that's being built in Bali Indonesia.
As you can see it's currently as tall as a 2 story building.
(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac51/doctor4766/BaliStatue.jpg)
And here is a smaller version of how this statue will look when completed.
It depicts a Balinese warrior (or god) riding a Garuda bird and will be MASSIVE if it's ever finished.

An Airplane in Front of the Moon
Credit & Copyright: Chris Thomas
Explanation: "If you look closely at the Moon, you will see a large airplane in front of it. Well, not always. OK, hardly ever. But if you wait for days with your camera attached to a Moon tracker in a place where airplanes are known to pass, you might catch a good photograph of it. Well, if you're lucky. OK, extremely lucky. The image was taken over South East Queensland, Australia using an exposure time of 1/250th of a second and, in the words of the photographer, "a nerve of steel"."

A Hall of Mountain Glory
Credit & Copyright: A. Tudorica (ISS Romania)
Explanation: "If you tried to enter this hall of fog, you would find it dissipates around you. The hall is actually on the mountain from which this picture was taken. Known as "the glory", the phenomenon is frequently seen from airplanes. The ring's center is not visible, but if it were, the shadow of the observer would appear. This shadow would likely change as clouds passed, creating a faux moving giant known as the Brocken Spectre. As pictured, several concentric rings of the glory appear to create a hall for this mountain king. The cause of the glory has only been understood recently and is relatively complex. Briefly, small droplets of water reflect, refract, and diffract sunlight backwards towards the Sun. The phenomenon has a counterpart in astronomy, where looking out from planet Earth in the direction opposite the Sun yields a bright spot called the gegenschein."

while I'm on the subject of Camera Gear - and specificly new Casio Camera Gear as per the previous page...
This new Casio EXH20G has a complete GPS feature as seen in the middle of the linked page below,...
http://www.pcworld.com/article/220001/casio_exilim_exh20g_a_fun_pocket_megazoom_for_travelers.html
"intuitive map interface, points-of-interest database, real-world location names (not just raw latitude and longitude data), and easy integration with the mapping services in Flickr, Google Earth, and Picasa.
Establishing a GPS connection for the first time requires being outside with a clear view of the sky, and linking up to the satellites takes about 2 to 3 minutes for the initial connection. After that, it's smooth sailing, and the camera's internal autonomic positioning system can log your travels from there, even while you're indoors.
Pressing the globe-icon button on the top of the camera brings up the map interface, while pressing the person-icon button centers the map on your current location; the latter feature performed quickly and accurately during my hands-on tests, with a margin of error of about one city block.
As long as you have the camera's GPS functionality turned on, the in-camera map interface shows where you've been wandering with a trail of red dots. It also displays blue dots that you hover over with the camera's directional-pad controls to view photos taken at each location.
When you're taking a photo with the GPS feature powered on, the LCD shows the names of nearby points of interest on the map. If you turn on 'Place Stamp' in the camera menu, you also see a drop-down menu at the bottom of the display that lets you overlay the name of each location in the bottom-right corner of each photo. Around the PCWorld offices in San Francisco's South of Market district, the camera listed many appropriate points of interest (South Park, AT&T Park, China Basin, Hills Plaza).
Once you offload your images to a computer, the geotagging integrates perfectly with Flickr, Google Earth, and Picasa. The longitude and latitude data isn't explicitly visible in each image's EXIF data, but the shots show up in precisely the right spot of each program's map interface.
Unfortunately, my supervisors didn't respond to my repeated requests to go on an all-expenses-paid around-the-world vacation to test the camera's GPS skills across the globe, but the accurate location-based data and mapping of shots I took in San Francisco are good indicators of how well the camera's GPS functionality performs in a big city".
I guess it was just a matter of time till cameras had their own built in GPS capability... whoda' thunk it?..
kinda like the droid x. Your camera takes a great picture. Sometimes when the days are tough it's good to run through here and see the beauty! Thanks!
Stonington CT harbor at sunset from my S2 9.2A (30 ft sailboat) the first landfall I made in Triple Play after I bought her.
A couple nights ago, I was leaving my neighborhood when some guy comes flying down the street. He was on my side of the road and almost ran me into a parked car. I had to swerve up onto someones lawn to avoid this idiot. I wasn't about to let that slide so I went around the block to get his plate as I suspected he was either drunk or on something.
I couldn't have been more than 15 seconds behind him when this is what I found:
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/180168_10150089506993741_663053740_6290603_603317_n.jpg)

When I had pulled up a neighbor had just came outside because she heard the noise of the crash. The guy had ran but her son was chasing him down on foot. The family that owned the truck which got hit had just came out when my brother showed up. He had been at school for the last couple days working on midterms but when I told him what happened he hopped back in his car and took off after the guy. Meanwhile when the police/fire/ambulance showed I got a call from my brother saying he and the neighbor's son had lost the guy but they knew roughly which house he was in. They said he was bleeding and stumbling bad. The neighbor's son came back and took the police to where they had last seen the guy. I dunno if they ever caught him but I'm just glad no one else was hurt. With the way he was driving he could have easily killed someone.
Also on an interesting note, my brother suggested to the firemen/police they check the registration in the glove box to see if it was a local address. Both dismissed that idea without even checking because "the car might be stolen"...
:eyes:
Now I'm no detective or paramedic, but if I was trying to find an injured driver that fled the scene only to disappear into some house on the next street, checking the glove box seems like a pretty easy/logical thing to do.
you are lucky he didnt hit you.
Great pictures!
GO CELTICS!

As much as I don't want to hijack this thread.. Be warned that when you post pics of your ride and have the GPS data turned on anyone who downloads the pic gets the exact location of where you took the pic. So as cool as it sounds, embedded GPS info in pics can act as a treasure map that puts a big old
X on top of your garage with your multi-thousand dollar baby inside. :Twocents:

:P took my new camera out yesterday to find it smashed, cracked, toast,.. looks like it got caught in a car door that was slammed.. i have no idea how that happened,.. :shruggy: it'll probably cost more to have it repaired - if it can be - - then to buy another... i'm gonna need to pull my old one out of retirement... :'(
ahhh.. :o thats too bad. Sorry to hear that brother. I always fear that with my Canon. spent a roof skin and a fender on the damn thing, hate to see it get broken.
:-\ I'm pretty careful with it and I can't figure how it got so messed up,.. if I had dropped it I'd remember, so at times like this I suspect everyone around me... :shruggy:

Nah, small bear, ground to hard maybe to leave claw marks, rear foot still could have imprinted on front, from the slanted Palm mark I just noticed which I think is promnit on rear track, ground also looks softer on inside of print, bottom left. circular mark around print like it was outlined with a coffee can means harder ground about a inch below print in the mud, probably sand underneath............
Biggest black bear print I ever found was at a lake 20 mile behind our house on bare mt basin, longer then my 9 inch feet with claw marks reaching another 2 inches further out.....dam now I'm gonna have to get a hold of my friend and see if he can send me the picture he took of it about 20 years ago..............love bear prints thanks for posting, I'm fascinated by them :o
The neighboring ranch, took pics of the bear. So when chuck gets back in range/cell service I will post the pics he gets! :yesnod: mrs.skip68

Affirmative.
New picture taken today and then a little technology stepped in. It just didn't look right to me in color so I desaturated it and tuned it up. I love all kinds of photography but I tend to gravitate towards manipulated photos.
Photoshop and some of the other programs interest me quite a bit. They are very complex but fun to learn. The folks that write these programs are unbelievably gifted.

Cute dog. She must be a Mopar dog if you corrected me from Black to Charcoal. :2thumbs: ;)
screwing around with lighting. took this in pitch black. 30s exposure and a penlight.
Mike that's a terrific picture...........great detail for low light. Gotta love hi-res didgi cameras. Are you the E7?
Retired Chief Petty Officer. Initiated.
To be called an E7 and not Chief is the kiss of death in the Navy. LOL!!!!!!
oh, and thank you. that was my first attempt at that particular process of painting with light. (Well, I wrote MOPAR once in light way back and it's on one of the previous pages) it's really cool but i needed some content/contrast.. so I went in the closet and pulled out the Khakis. :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:
I'm packed and ready to go when I get the call to go back flyin' :2thumbs:
here's another one that isn't so great but you can see the different places I was attempting to bring out details. It's one exposure(a long one).
it's a nice change over on camera flash. i'm gonna attempt to get away from that all together.
i'm in the process now of collecting strobes and remotes and such. man this is an expensive hobby. :lol:
prices are starting to skyrocket due to the Japan deal.
I'm trying to make it my profession so most likely all my cars are gonna go pretty soon.

Don't hesitate to tell me if you don't like me messing with your picture and I'll take it down. ;D
nice job. by toning down the orange tints the subjects really pop and get more 3D. i like it
Much better!
Nice work Mike and good pic Foreman :cheers:
Quote...an example. this one i liked better as a painting.
very, very cool :cheers:
Hey Mike! No i dont mind you messing around with it at all :2thumbs: the reason its such low quality is because of the image reducer i used to post it. I do think that the skin looks a little soft but that it...hey if your interested i can email you the original and you can work your PS magic on it :lol:
thanks for the compliments guys!
I wasn't quite sure what I saw in the lowlight shot but it sure looked like a Chief's emblem. Pardon my E7 faux paux, as a former squid I should know better. I'm doing a all-day FOD walk down in my neighborhood to atone for my error. There is nothing like becoming a Chief Petty Officer in any of the other military branches. Any wise sailor treads softly around Chiefs........woe is he who he gets on the darkside of a Chief. Been there and did not have a good time! A family friend and fellow gearhead is a retired Master Chief Aviation Electrician. When he retired it took the next couple of years but he earned his Master's degree and the joke is we we're to refer to him as "The Master Master Chief". :smilielol: He's a great guy and was the youngest Master Chief in the USN at the time.
When you hit the apron take me with you. Turn and burn - fly Navy or take the bus!

Here's a pair of pics that are going to be more interesting to me than the other members. :icon_smile_big:
My daughter Kate, will be 12 later this month & just played her first rock concert. Her school organized a show that allowed the kids to sign up & play several songs this past Friday the 13th. There were about 6 bands that played from 6PM to about 9:30PM & a lot of the other kids in the school were there in the audience. She & 3 others got together about 4 weeks ago, picked the name "Deep Red Blush" for their band, crammed a bunch of practice jams in, & played 4 songs, including "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. I had no idea they were working on that song. :coolgleamA:
She's the bass player on the right.

She told me they just thought the name sounded good, no special meaning. I'm sure if they get famous there will be all kinds of rumors circulating on how it was chosen, what it means, or some secret meaning behind it. :lol:
I wish them all the success in the world and think it's great.

Retired Chief Petty Officer. Initiated.
To be called an E7 and not Chief is the kiss of death in the Navy. LOL!!!!!!
*Holds out hand pretending to hold a cup of coffee* RLY now ?
That's like calling a 'Gunny' an E7... :2thumbs:
Here's another. This is my buddy Tommy(also a Navy Chief[ret]). Band is called Backlash. They've been together for many many years and are very popular.
The first pic, a couple posts ago, is the stand in drummer from the band Twyce Shy(80's glam cover band)....also, extremely popular in Maine. Normally you wouldn't recognize Rick cause he's in hair and makeup. He's subbing for Backlash due to Backlash drummer having a heart attack about 4 days ago. He's fine.
Anyway, just got started deleting and then to edit all these pics but thought i'd throw this one up there. :icon_smile_cool:
Tommy and the other band members didn't mind me screwing around honing up my knowledge base. He literally let me experiment all night long.
This shot; Nikon D3S, 24-70 f2.8(@70mm) 1/320 and 3200ISO. Off camera flash. I had 3 sb-900's set up at 1/64th power.
Still a huge learning curve on the flash settings and the marrying of the flash with the Nikons. The remote trigger comes from a Power Wizard TT1 and AC3 controller sending the signals to Nikon Flex TT5's.
I also had my Nikon D3X there as well but the cleanest highest ISO I can go on that one is 1600. I think Nikon will be coming out with another higher MP super high ISO body later this year. I'll be going broke getting that one too.

No idea on price but they were given out to exmployees who made certain amount of sales. There was a few other items like picture frames and such that were also given out.
got to shoot the red sox affiliate today. Portland Sea Dogs.
over 800 pictures and this is the one that made it all worth it. i've got half to go through still but i have another level of respect for sports photogs. not easy. i concentrated on balls in frame mostly. missed some action shots due to lack of poop in one sock with focus of all things. i'm hoping for one bat on ball but the odds are ridiculous. i did see one bat on foul tip though so I guess that should be enough. :lol:

This is the crowd before the riots in Vancouver.
Put your cursor anywhere in the crowd and
double-click a couple of times.
To further help with image, use the scroll button in the centre of your mouse.
Zero in on any one specific single face. The clarity is unbelievable.
You can see - perfectly - the faces of every single individual - and there were thousands!

RF-4C Phantom crew chief, Zweibrucken, Air Base, Germany 1974-76, with my 7 years in the USAF.
Started out as a plane captain (chain dragger/chock chucker/fueler) then after quals spent the rest of my tour turning wrenches and safety wiring anything and everything. My toys were A-4E, Hueys and A-6's and T-39D. VT-86 70-76. They were good years but unlike the AF, Navy doesn't train you to achieve an A&P. Oh well.

I thought these were pretty cool. I should have brought my better camera and spent a little more time taking the pictures. Next time...

Can anyone guess this Bridge? LEON.
For the record, I guessed Mackinaw before I read the label on the bottom of the pic. :icon_smile_big:
Well, the tag says Mackinaw bridge so .... I'll guess that ! Ha Ha :icon_smile_big:
Yeah, like a bonehead I got it named at bottom of Picture. How many people been across Mackinaw Bridge? LEON.

Hope to get over it more when my charger is on the road. That's a beautiful part of the country.
Been up to Minnesota (Minneapolis area and around there for about a 50 mile radius) just once. Actually it was just a few months ago and summer up there is beautiful but, ..... I don't like cold weather so, no visit from me in the winter and living there is out of the question.

Welcome to Egypt.
Did you take that Egypt Pic yourself? LEON.

Can you imagine...........the chances of capturing that on film. It's really quite incredible. I bet the photographer didn't even realise what he captured until he looked at the developed photo.
ONE IN A MILLION
OR more likely Photoshopped
I took that photo on the highway that runs from Hurghada (Ghardaqa) up the Red Sea/Gulf of Suez coast on my way back to Cairo from a weekend at the beach.

You're probably right.....................still a nice pic though.
I also have a passion for railroad locomotives.
Grew up around the New Haven area, back in the 50's - 60's.
Sorry for high jacking this thread but speaking of trains, has anyone seen or heard of the movie "The Station Agent"
It's great. It's about a guy very much into trains who inherits a train station and lives in it. Worth watching. :popcrn:
LOL..I spend almost 5 hours a day on a damn commuter train...I sure don't want to watch a movie about them....or some demented schmuck that wants to live in a train station....but then again I see a bunch of those guys every morning in union station...lol

Zero in on any one specific single face. The clarity is unbelievable.
You can see - perfectly - the faces of every single individual - and there were thousands!

Ha, that's funny. I noticed that there are some "see-through" people there too and you can see some seams where the picture doesn't quite match up. It looks like they took a bunch of close-ups and tiled it together int one big photo. :shruggy:

I was also lucky enough to get into the Burj al Arab.
My nephew has a connection in there so we were able to drive right up to the front door and go inside.
We also snuck up the elevator lol

those are pretty gosh durn good! :2thumbs: i been there, many times.. but never with a camera.. i ordered a new one last Fri.. That last of Half Dome is EXCELLENT! :icon_smile_wink:
Unfortunately those pictures are taken with my sport camera. I get a 50 / 50 ratio of good and bad images.
Its hard to take a bad picture in Yosemite if you have a decent camera.
I really want to get a DSLR camera with a good standard lens and a telephoto.
The day I took the half dome photo there were about a dozen or so people on the top walking around. I could see them thought the telescope at Glacier Point but my camera just doesn't have the capabilities to zoom in that far. It would have been a awesome shot.

Nikon D7000(seven thousand, didn't want to confuse with the D700). Simply the best DSLR made at a very affordable price. It's a DX format but out performs pretty much everything and image quality is only second to the D3X(nikon's flag ship)
It's simply incredible, no other way to put.
Dont get the kit lens(18-105) It's a waste of $300.
Buy the body and then decide what you want to do lens wise. There are multiple scenarios and at every price point you can imagine. I would be glad to suggest some though.
Finally replaced my broken camera with a new one..
I've gotten serious about exploiting some of it's many capabilities and using some additional techniques i've learned over the past six years..
Got the GF to hold my sunglasses in front of the camera lens and i used a second lens to blur/focus and out of 30 or so shots managed to get a few decent Tilt Shifted and Tinted effects. This was taken yesterday at Half Moon Bay Calif. and was not manipulated after the fact. I tried the day before to shoot the Blue Angels Fleet Week Air Show here and out of some 1,700 photos got None i was happy with... But here finally one i am very happy with.

My buddy Joel and his family. Took these a few days ago. Tough light that day. For the record, he insisted on this picture as the backdrop because the house is in the background. I would have chosen a different one due to harsh light. It's not about me though. LOL!
I served with Joel way back in the day and now he's retired and lives right down the street.
His boys are avid skateboarders so we're dabbling in branding boards. We have a prototype being built but we're already gonna change companies. Poor customer service kills it for me quick.
Anyway, I made them a quick Christmas card for this year. Maybe I should add the year in there too.
I swear ive seen that guy on the left I think I went to highschool with him a while back
Here are some pics of King, the King Parrot who likes to hang out at our place a lot. He's so tame he'll sit on your shoulder or any other part of the body he deems fit.
And he talks and talks. Mind you, we can't understand a word he's saying, although we're guessing it's probably "where's my feed?"

Lorikeets and Gang Gang (male)
p/s Tuscany.............how beautiful.
Cockatoo's and Kookaburra's
Good pics Fred, cheers. Those Kingy's are beautiful, we used to have an Eclectus male, he was cool
Fred those birds are a delight to see! The Mrs and I are avid bird fans, thanks for the pictures.

Thanks Bob T. The many different colour combinations of these birds never fails to amaze me.
Also how smart these birds are. They certainly know how to get our attention. I'm sure if we left a door open, they would fly right on in and make themselves at home.
So what happened to your Eclectus?
We had a male magpie sit on the kitchen window every morning (all the birds do, they take it in turns) for about 15 odd years (he'd eat out of our hands and always introduced the new family members to us every year or so) but since around july this year he stopped coming. Needless to say he won't be back and it's kind of sad, we just got so used to him.

Glad you enjoyed them twodko, we also have a family of wedge tail eagles (4) soaring above about once a week. Sometimes they hover so low you can count their wing feathers. What magnificent birds. My wife's favourite are the kookaburra's, just hearing them laughing and carrying on fills her with elation.
As I've already said, it's a priviledge.
Thanks Fred for the pics! :2thumbs: You are so blessed to see those creatures every day. I do have roadrunners in my yard!!! And and owl den that has been here for over 8 years. Fun to watch the babies try and fly! The moms are tuff on them! The kookaburras a totally fun. Ive worked for zoos and veterinarians for years so ive experienced all kinds of creatures. Keep the pics coming!
Lisa
Gee Lisa, Erika (wife) and I just love the road runners. I think like most people never having seen one, we all think they are big birds as depicted in the cartoons, so imagine our surprise when we saw these little birds running along the roadside while driving in Arizona near Tombstone. At our motel we mentioned seeing these funny little birds to another guest and were told they are road runners. We were so surprised. They are so cute...........and little! As for the owls..........they are beautiful birds as are most birds of prey. Sounds to me like you are blessed too.
Fred :2thumbs:
More kookaburras for you. All looking for a hand out.
Beautiful pictures Fred as always. Thanks.
:2thumbs: Chuck .........
Besides birds, do you see any marsupials or other mammals? Would love to see pics of them. My kids are really enjoying the photos! Keep up the good work! :2thumbs:

Yes Lisa, wallabies, possums and wombats but mostly they're nocturnal and a little shy so it's hard to take pics.
I did manage to take a pic of a wallaby in our neighbours backyard early one morning. And our resident echidna is very relaxed about having his photo taken.
We live about 5 mins by car from a very large reservoir, it's completely fenced in but is open daily for visitors to picnic in and it is home to literally hundreds of kangaroos.
We always take visiting relatives (from Europe) there so that they can experience our wildlife. Must get down there one day soon and take som pics for you and the kids to enjoy.

Talk about doing it hard.................what a way to earn a buck.
It was 40degrees the day I took this picture. All the tourists had taken cover only this poor schmuck was left standing!
Went on our weekly cruise Sunday despite the frigid temps (the '37 Chevy has no heat...he's very dedicated). Driving through Hawks Nest and parked by the Delaware river. It's hard to get good pics this time of year with the sun so low in the sky.

Slightly bigger than golf balls. Even bigger with the rough edges. And as you can imagine, they did heaps of damage in the car yards.
All the car yards had hailstone damaged car sales. :eek2:

Yes, the Summer shot was taken the following year. A small birch tree went down that Winter, and the sign was taken out by a snow plow most likely. I was wondering if anyone would notice :scratchchin:

I resize my images in Photoshop... I just hate having to throw out 90% of the usable image quality to post here. It's not the dimensions of the image, it's the information stored within those dimensions that gets lost. 200K images (of any usable dimension) are a lot like MP3 recordings... You recognise them for what they are, but all of the details are gone. It is what it is however...

160 year old bottles
My friends and I use to go out and dig for old glass when we were kids. The woods around our area were chock full of old foundations from homes and settlements long since past, some dating back to the early 1500's. We use to come across a lot of old Indian areas too, mostly arrow heads and stuff like that.

Cool pic Dan! I had a job offer at the water treatment plant near Pebble Beach (Monterrey?)when I finished school but the cost of living was through the roof. Kind of bummed I didn't at least go to Cali as I have never been. Being Canadian I would of loved the winters though :lol:

I like Erdinger but here in the North I like Rickards White which is Blue Moon...........Most of the Real Deals have way to much corriander for my taste.
Erdinger Dunkel is good dark take on the wheat! You tried it?
Yes I have, and it's on my list of recommended brews. I also enjoy the Franziskaner Dunkel, and a few other imported wheats as well. The problem with "bottling" true wheat beers however, is they have to be poured correctly or it just doesn't work. The bartender on the ship enjoyed having me around because it gave him a chance to practice this. He took real pride in his work, and product knowledge.

My camera has been dropped enough times that the shutter makes bad noised when it opens and closes. Sometimes i have to help it along. Its funny how i can drop $500 on a part for my Chager but spending $500 on a nice camera is like pulling teeth. :-\
I hear that... sort of... I just hate spending money on myself period. I'll drop $2500 on a little chip off of a pretty rock for the wife's hand, but spending $25 on myself... I have to think long & hard about that, sometimes for days on end.
I use to have a lot photographic equipment back in the old film days. I even had my own darkroom for professional work and process development. Little tiny spy cameras to big giant reflex cameras, I had a ton of stuff. Gave it up when I saw the digital age coming. I figured I'd wait until digital catches up, then back into it again. My wife and daughter bought me a Nikon SLR kit recently as a gift, but it's a piece of crap, so I'm going to sell it. One day soon I'll get myself a nice Pentax and a good perspective lens and see what happens from there. I just have to convince myself that I really do need it first... like I did when I bought the Six Pack system for my engine. :lol: :lol: :lol:
i like the new stuff for gettin fast pic's and posting and all, but i love doing the black and white on my own still. i have the whole b&w dark room. it doesnt get used alot, but still fun to go down there and spend a few hours. to me its still amazing to watch the developement procedure right in front of you. plus black and white is not as temperature sensitive as color so i dont have to be so precise. :yesnod:
Wait, you can go behind Minnehaha Falls!? That's awesome!

I still have one enlarger... a Beseler 23C II XL with both Color & B/W heads, lurking down in my shop somewhere. I was going to donate it to the local high schools photo department many years ago. They actually needed it and wanted it, but the schools legal beagles wouldn't simply accept it as a gift. I had to fill out 99 forms, have it examined, get approval from the United Nations, etc,etc,etc... Such a big hassle just to give something away for free.
Got another 9inches last night... sugaring is slow so I took the family skiing...

Ahh the snow.
Last time I saw that stuff fall was in the UK in 1978.
Amazing that you're freezing your asses off when today it was 40*C here. (104*F)
Not enough to stop us going on a cruise to a pub up in the hills, but damn it was hot!
The only solace was a coupla cold beers in the shade of a huge gumtree outside the pub.
We didn't get much of anything for snow this year in SE Conn... :shruggy:
I don't think I've posted this one before... This is the waterfalls at the entrance to the Baltimore Aquarium.

Wow, Where I live in Kansas we had a record low of like 3" all winter. I have three maples in my yard and they have been pissing up a storm. Those annoying brown buds have been falling like crazy. I can hardly wait for the helicopters to come on ::) We have had hit and miss 60 degree weather every month this winter so they have been budding for a while now.

Interesting sunset, took these last night as I stepped out my office door. There were some pretty terrific thunderstorms around both before and after these photos were taken. First two were with the crappy iPhone3 camera, last two were with the ol' standby Kodak Z612.
The shots from the Kodak are very dramatic :2thumbs:

My view from my lounge chair in Mexico last week

What about the Red River of the North? It forms the border between North Dakota and Minnesota, and it flows NORTH into Canada to empty into Lake Winnipeg.
..Looking west at Marysville Michigan
This is the old local steam train that used to service the hills community (Dandenong Ranges) yonks ago. Called "Puffing Billy" it is now a major tourist attraction and runs all year round.
Just happened to time it right on one of our drives in the charger.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red Cedar River is a westward-flowing tributary of the Grand River in Michigan. Its source is Cedar Lake which is located in Marion Township in the southeastern corner of Livingston County, and it runs about 51.1 miles (82.2 km) through Okemos, East Lansing, including the campus of Michigan State University, and finally Lansing, where it empties into the Grand River. It has a West and a Middle branch, each of which also originates in southern Livingston County.

Also from Wikipedia:
The Red River (French: Rivière rouge, German: Roter Fluss, American English: Red River of the North) is a North American river. Originating at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers between the U.S. states of Minnesota and North Dakota, it flows northward through the Red River Valley, forming the border of Minnesota and North Dakota and continuing into Manitoba, Canada. It empties into Lake Winnipeg, whose waters join the Nelson River and ultimately flow into the Hudson Bay, which is considered part of the Arctic Ocean.

There are hundreds of rivers that are the
ONLY one to flow north. Complete myths surround this subject.
The Salinas River flows north in California. Starts in Santa Margarita and ends in Monterey. And it's a major river, not a creek or tributary.
The Teton and the Snake rivers flow north (Idaho). The Monongahela flows north. The Willamette flows north. There are hundreds more.
Now back to the great pics in the thread. :cheers:

No matter where you are in the world, if you've lived there all your life, the defaults are set and it sometimes takes a conscious effort to remember that it may not be the same for someone living somewhere else.
So, time to mess a few more people up... is it true that water rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise) down the drains down there (southern hemisphere)?? :flush: :laugh:

My little helper...
Those look exactly like the ones we have around our place... grey squirrels I think they are. :scratchchin: Was he friendly?
The ones around our place have all had Rambo survival training... they're fierce little buggers! :o Our cat takes the scenic route when there's one out in the back yard... she doesn't want any part of that!
He's friendly enough to me... and anyone else that he has grown accustom too. Other than that, he's just as skittish as the next. He comes around looking for handouts whenever I’m out there working in the garage or the back yard. He can be a pain in the butt at times. Like I was telling the boys over on the 66-67site, I was trying to set the float bowl levels on my six pack last weekend, and he kept climbing around on top of the carburetors, poking at my hands, looking for a peanut. Most of the time he’s just hanging around at your feet however, or sitting somewhere nearby.
You've got yourself a great buddy! A gearhead squirrel trying to help you adjust the floats. :lol: Cool.
Just love the birds 1BAD68 including the turkey.
Love the squirrel Musicman.
It's amazing how quickly wild life catches on as to where food can be had. Feed them once and they never forget that food source. We have a vixen that keeps coming back (mostly after a litter) year after year looking for brisket bones that as a rule belong to the dogs. But when times a tough, she gets a feed too. Don't like to see anything go hungry.
My lab was barking at the fence at 2am so I took a look and this was what was causing all the ruckus
Got plenty of them in our backyard (backs onto a forest). They look a little different here though.
That was a young-in I think. Last one was big and nasty looking hissing and baring some teeth. That side leads to the woods at my house
When we first bought our place 30 odd years ago, the old house had a flat tin roof and at night after we'd gone to bed you could hear them using the roof like a freeway to get from one tree to the next. 60 mph :lol: And yes, they're good little snarlers. We have ring tails (small) and brush tails (big). And boy do they love the maple leaves and magnolia flower buds. Cheeky buggars!!

Where is that Tilar?, was it from the Hawaii trip
Yeah Bob, The first pic is the island of Oahu. Diamond Head crater is in the bottom middle, then going up to the left around the coast is Waikiki beach where we stayed till we got on the cruise ship. The second pic is on Maui, the road to Hana. 59 one way bridges, 600+ curves and takes 6 hours to drive the 52 mile trip and back. Beautiful scenery including the 7 sacred pools which is 7 water falls going into pools, starting from the top of the volcano and ending up in the ocean. I have a pic of that somewhere too.
But I gotta add, the drive to Hana sucked. The 7 sacred pools is probably 8 miles beyond Hana.

Red sky in the morning, sailors fair warning. :o

No jacknife there, he intentionally tried to turn around on that bridge. You can see the marks near the back of the trailer where he had the wheels turned sharp on the tractor turning it, plus he admitted that he had missed his turn and was turning around. Bad thing is there are plenty of places he could have turned around just beyond the bridge.

I agree, if it had jack knifed it would surely have taken out the concrete barrier.

Gotta say though, he does look like an Aussie doesn't he.
So what WAS it like living in the wild west all those years ago Fred?
Fantastic. The gun ruled. You shot first and asked questions later. :2guns:
And as long as you got your shot off first there was nothing to worry about!

Actually he had his paw up as if saying "Hi" then he say down, scratched his nose, and went back to eating. I was about 30 yards away maybe a little less when I snapped the pictures.

Black bears are hardly temperamental as a Grizzly and it's the wrong time of year for cubs. Besides his body language was calm enough. On top of that I had my blade on my hip and a friend with a rifle about 100 yards to the left of me :D
Black bears are fairly inquisitive creatures. More than a couple times you have to smack them on the nose and tell them to get back cause they are in your person bubble :smilielol:
Came across this guy today, he was sure interested in what was behind that fallen tree...

He was about 50 yards away and was a good sized black bear. Not big but good enough to fit in my freezer! :2thumbs:
Sadly bear season is closed now until September. :'(

Yeah, they're trying to figure out how they can get into the house and help themselves to the sunflower seeds. They know that's where it comes from.
This is Elephant Rock. It's never the same twice. It's painted over every week and every time we drive past , we never know what to expect.
Sometimes it resembles an elephant (trunk and all), hence the name and it actually looks really good but more often than not it's graffiti'd over with all sorts of messages.
Happy Independence Day!

Maybe once upon a time...
That's a wonderful old picture of the Monte Rio sign next to the old quanset hut theater. My step grandad owned the Monte Rio lumber company where, for several summers, I nailed pallets together for him @ .50 an hour. Happy to get it too. Oh what a joy that was.......as a young guy my rightful place was down on Johnson's beach trying to get laid. Freakin' pallets, never did get any poonany down there until years later but the split tails were mighty fine.
This was the era when Guerneville and Monte Rio were THE party spots for the Hell's Angels.
Way diff now.
I took that in June 2006 on vacation. It wasn't much of a wonderland anymore which was why I took the shot and went B&W with it. I bet it would be neat to see what it looked like in it's heyday.
That's a great shot! :cheers:

Walking to work last week.
How great to be able to walk to work. Some of my work places have been an hour and a half's drive away.
Technically I was a few thousand miles away from "work". The photo is from a jobsite I was sent to in Denmark and during that time I was only working about a kilometer from where I was staying. At home I have to drive about 15 minutes to get to work so I guess I'm still ahead of your plight.
ok well, I'm retired now so I guess I come out in front. :icon_smile_big:
Lol, touche.

Spectacular!!!!!
I can hear the waves pounding against the shore tonight , apparently the tide is strongest at full moon , not sure why though ? The moon circles all month wether in light or dark .

C_stripes, welcome to PDX. I always planned on retiring up here, never thought I'd end up living here. All my family is back in Kansas so I guess that shows how much I like it up here.
I'm across the river, in Vancouver. Have to take you for a ride sometime.
472,
I think I saw your Charger going down I-5 north as I pulled in two weeks ago. It was Sunday approx 10:00 ish. Was a nice looking FC7 70, can't be to many of them rite here I would assume. And thanks for the welcome, I love it here so far. I can't wait to get started at my new job and save some money to get a 70 Bee
I want to share this inredible deal at my walmart with you guys.

I haven't been out in it since the Mopar Nationals in Woodburn, Or. July 22nd.
Every Wednesday night @ Portland International Raceway they have 1/8 racing & a car show. The car show brings in hundreds of cars'. We haven't had a Mopar night yet...I don't think so anyways.
You're a little late for all the all Mopar shows. I hope you don't mind rain. May I ask where you're going to work at?
Sweet, I would like to go to the shows and drags when I can. I have worked at a Toyota dealership for about eight years in Utah and I got a new Job at willsonville Toyota as a service writer. I wish it was at a dodge dealer, but as long as it pays the bills, it could be about anywhere.

How do you get a well lit shot of the moon without any blur? Usually slow exposures used for night shots of stars will show a motion blur from the earth's rotation.
Love the shots! Very cool. :cheers:
Luck helps. I do not have a tripod, so about one moon photo in 5 comes out in focus.
When I went to lunch yesterday I kept seeing this big dog pop his head out of the side windows of the car in front of me. One side, then a moment later it popped out the other side. The dog went back & forth to both windows for the few minutes I was behind them. Then all of a sudden he pokes up out of the sunroof. :lol: Damn thing was a huge Great Dane. They turned into the same parking lot where I was headed, so I pulled up beside them & snapped a pic with my phone.
Looking south about an hour ago;
Can you do portraits? :lol: :lol:
Yes, but only for pretty ladies.
Well that's a relief...........I'd hate to have just any old hag hanging on my wall. :smilielol:

I have quite a few moon photos, do you guys think a moon-a-month calendar would be a good seller?
I'd say yes and surely there's got to be more people like me out there.
yep, id think so. especially with the trees and such in some of the photos. :2thumbs:
Thanks for the input guys, I'll get 12 picked out & see what I can do. :cheers:

Sunset - September 29, 2012;
WOW, just WOW! Beautiful shots you take. I have a semi-fancy camera that has so many options I really dont get. We have beautiful sunsets in my hood, :smilielol: and would love to take better shots. Any advise? Thanks. :cheers:

Make sure you take the lens cap off.....

Hahaha! Remember, i'm NOT as handicapped as my spouse! (skip68)
Just take it out & play with it (the camera) until you get used to it. See what does & does not work. Set it at a high resolution, if you want to put them on sites like this you can copy the original & then re-size it. Digital images are cheap to take, so take lots of them & then look at all of them to see how your camera records them. I have one camera that takes great moon photos, but the more expensive model is not up to it.
Another shot from last night;
A few hours later.....
Just love those moon shots.
Drove over to where I work to pick something up & spotted this growing on a gravel pile. Damn weeds will grow anywhere.
It never ceases to amaze me where things will grow. Yet try to grow something in the home garden and it doesn't.
I bought an ultraviolet flashlight for finding scorpions. They are florescent and glow with black light.
Is that to check your bed at night? :smilielol:

Watch where you tread. If you get bitten by one of those there's no telling how much or for how long you'll be hallucinating. They're worse than giant tropical mosquito's.
Looks pretty cool though.
They are everywhere out here. And super fast.
Can a person survive a bite?

You don't get bit, you get stung. It depends on the critter. Some are more toxic than others.
Well, last year I got stung 3 times by a scorpion and bit by a rattlesnake and I'm still here. ;) There is a small scorpion that is deadly. My kids catch these things.

Of course, I know that. Forgive me, I'm not quite back to normal yet.
I'm talking about the one's that skip is keeping company with. Looks like a big one. Our's are tiny here and a sting is similar to a wasp sting (maybe a little worse).

Me. I'm not ready to keel over just yet.
hey skip, do you have the sun spiders and the vinegaroos out there? when i lived in the mojave desert in california they had them. they look like a scorpion of sorts, but are a spider and look alike. the sun spider isnt poisonous (as i believe it went) but would bite you and take a chunk out of your skin. the vinegaroo or vinegarette, (whichever it was called) would bite you and when you sweat you smelled like vinegar and everything would taste like vinegar. :yesnod:
Didn't know they call them sun spiders, we call them scorpion spiders.

I've gotta ask Alaskan, what kind of temperatures are you having right now? I take it it's a bit brisk?
63 yesterday, close to that today but I did not check. VERY unusual this time of year, but our summer was dismal & wet.

Been using vacation time to do some more roofing on my house. Last fall I did the front half, this fall it's the back half. My daughter wanted to see the roof garden I was telling her about, so I let her come up the ladder to stand on the scaffold I set up to rebuild the soffits & rehang the gutters. She snapped these before the dew dried up......
wow...looks like you need to get yer lawnmower up there
Bryan
There are some here with trees growing on them. :o
The weed whacker might be easier to drag up the ladder than the mower. :lol:
I've seen moss on a roof, but not the red flowers :shruggy: They're kind of neat, but I'd rather have the new shingles.
I spotted this little guy yesterday, but the lighting was quite poor then.
That's good enough to hang on the wall.
Thanks Fred.
If you are on Facebook check out Slices Of The Sky Studio. It is pretty new, so I do not have a price schedule yet. If anyone wants a print it can be arranged. :cheers:
Not on facebook TA.
What size prints?
This one should come out quite well at 16 x 24.
I pick up my first four full size prints tomorrow after my 'day job', they are all that size, all of vintage aircraft. I am going to shop them around locally, all four planes flew here from the mid 30s to about 1972.
Here's a few I have taken the last few days. I post most of these on instagram if anyone wants to follow me, jeremymac83

Moon over Ketchikan - 10-21-2012
My mind, when faced with a problem, struggles until a solution is found. I needed a company logo. I used to work with film, mostly aviation photography, my camera back then was a gift from my dad. He bought it used around 1980. It has a service sticker inside it from 1974. It has been broken now for over 20 years, but it is an old friend I could never bring myself to part with. This evening, in the garage, it became part of the new business. Old is new, welcome back old friend. :cheers:
That is absolutely stunning TA. I'm guessing your business cards will look the same?
Too cool not to use Fred. ;)
A behind the scenes look, a light table, an under-lit photo, an old camera & a nose from an airplane model. I may play with it some more yet........ :scratchchin:
That is pretty cool. Glad your having fun with it. :2thumbs:

WOW! I see there's more to it than just being adept in your field (photography). It takes a great deal of imagination as well. I think it's inate. You either have it or you don't. You TA have what it takes. :2thumbs:
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Art (and photography) is relative, everyone's tastes & perspectives are different. I had my first professional grade prints printed last week, I showed them to co-workers, family, friends & strangers over the weekend. One person had some neutral comments but some great insights on pricing. Everyone else was very interested & asked what else I had available. Wish me luck?
I am having fun, if I can make money having fun then so be it. :cheers:
Good Luck!!! :cheers: Will you be doing a bunch of Mopar prints at a later date?
I will be at Carlisle next July for the 'Ladies with Mopars' display, so stay tuned.............. ;)

Nothing beats making money while having fun. More power to you. I wish you success with your business venture.
That mopar print is fabulous. Looks like somebody just pulled out paint and let brush have it's way. We love it.
Erika's very keen on the mushroom print.
:2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA: Mopar print. Looks real cool. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Alaskan... I see that little blue pill you took back in the 60's has been kick'n in again! :lol:
Fred, the mushroom print needed a name, so it is know 'Erika's Mushroom'. :cheers: If anyone wants prints of any of these you can click on my user name & then click on my user name.
Musicman, I was born in 1967, so if I took any pills then it was likely baby aspirin.

Cloudless skies two nights in a row, so sunset shots are out for now. So all I can do is moon you.........
Again.
Have you photographed the Northern Borealis yet? Or is that a seasonal event? I do understand you probably can't photograph when the moon is out.

Hey Fred
I like the shots of the flying dinosaurs. :cheers:
Hey Musicman, they weren't easy to get. I had to keep looking up, camera poised waiting for one or two to fly directly over head. It's a bit like skeet shooting, I kept losing sight of the blighters. Most of them had already landed because it was feeding time. (It's a tourist attraction) Took a couple of snaps with nothing but sky.
Quote from: Fred on October 24, 2012, 06:50:20 PM
Hey Musicman, they weren't easy to get.... Took a couple of snaps with nothing but sky.
I hear ya! :lol:
You couldn't make a short film of them flying over and then pick through each frame?
No, most of them had already landed. Most of them were coming in to land (at the feeding site) while Erika and I were having our fish & chips. So there were only a few late stragglers left.
Random tip;
Do not look up at birds flying over, you could lose an eye!
...or get an eye full :lol:
Don't think I didn't think of that. Truth be told it was the Mrs. idea to take the pics and she was smart enough to wear her sunnies.
Why yes, as a matter of fact it does have a Hemi.
While that shot was going on inside, this was unfolding outside;

Very nice TA. How long's your step ladder by the way. :lol:
Here's a crazy moon shot Erika took last night.
How about putting an observatory on top of your house or garage?
Erika needs to sell that one to the folks that sell Viagra. :yesnod:
No ladder needed. I found a new angle with a clear line of sight, that one was taken from further away than normal.
It has a narrow view range though since it is over the highway. A few of them have a power line running across the top of the moon.
I took this one about 6 AM this morning. Happy Halloween everyone. :wave:

I needed some Maple Syrup so I took a ride up Jim Faddens General Store & Maple Sugarhouse in North Woodstock, NH on Saturday. A 3-1/2 hour drive from my place, but it was as good of an excuse as any to get away for a while. Had a great time talking with Jim... Him and his wife just love to travel whenever time & money permits, and have been doing so for a great many years. I do believe there are still 3 or 4 places in the world that they haven't been yet, but their working on it.
(http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww35/FastbackMike/Jim.jpg)
A partial Solar Eclipse here today, peak at 10.34am, used a budget filter, still didnt get quite the effect I wanted
The second one has the Dementor face though :D
Not bad Bob!
Another shot from my recent trip North to buy Syrup...

Would've been a worthy roadtrip MM, maple syrup is delicious, I could just glug on one of those big jars for ages :icon_smile_big:
And was'nt trying to denigrate your first pic, I thought it was cool, I would rather see images up for a day or so before posting something after it, just wanted to get the eclipse pic up as it happened ''on the day'' :cheers:
Yours images are usually very well composed, interesting and with great colour.

No problems Bob :cheers:
I'm not sure what your concern was really, we're all just posting what we can, when we can, as opportunity presents itself. Keeping the thread alive, sharing whatever we have. :2thumbs:
My only regret is that I don't get to see all of the fine images posted here all that often. Most of my time here is viewed from a secure sever which does not allow me to see a lot of the posted content. :RantExplode: I can see the pic's on my home PC, but I'm usually to dang busy to log on when I'm at home. :P
I'll take the Kudo's though... Thanks Bob!

Alaskan, you have some phenomenal views! Very nice.
I'll throw in a contribution as well. This is one of my favorites from over the years. It's the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN taken on a cold, calm, black November night a couple of years ago.

That's a reflection of the lights. I've always thought that it was a pretty cool effect. Here is a shot taken during the day. I took this much much much further away (a few miles). The shot above was taken from the shoreline right next to the tall ship in the foreground (next to the blue building).
(https://rebby.com/tmp/liftbridge-day.jpg)
I had to dig pretty deep to find a daytime pic of the bridge. As I went through my photo library it became pretty apparent that I strongly prefer nighttime shots of the bridge.

Yeah, Cape Cods are cool, even out here in the Antipodes :2thumbs: .
I've even seen some company selling mailorder d.i.y ones
Mural on a wall in a building I'm working in...
Look at it closely
It's like finding a cave painting predicting Angry Birds!
I looked closely...........even put my specs on.

Those things are so expensive to buy, not sure why.
You can make one in a day. Too lazy for a weekend project? :shruggy: :D

I don't want any (have enough garden furniture) it just always amazes me as to how costly they are. And yes, I could make them no worries.

Nice! Keep 'em coming. I got a few cool shots today, I'll put them up later on.
First eagle from today;
Second eagle from today;
Nice Alaskan. What camera and zoom are you using?
Here's a wild horse about 12 miles from us in the hills. Then these strange looking rocks.
I used a Canon SX30IS for those two, it has a built in zoom.
Great rock!
Another close up of eagle #2;
:2thumbs:
A truly beautiful bird
skip, that rock looks like the gaping mouth of a hippopotomus.
Alaskan... I like the small Eagle 2 shot the best :cheers:
Skip... what is up with that rock? It's not natural... is this near a river or something? :scratchchin:
Maybe it's like an Oreo Cookie, two granite slabs and a sandstone center. :eek2:
It's the Mick Jäger rock.
eagle looks HUGE, never seen one up close, are they really that big or is it just the zoom (i'm comparing the size of the pine cones in the tree around it)
Those rocks are real and by the American river in Coloma CA.

Their around 3 feet tall with a wing span of 6-8 feet, so yes there big.
+ Alaskan has a good zoom. How close are you from them Alaskan?

I was wondering the same thing. He has to be a lot closer to one than I ever have been.
Eagle #1 was far away, 1/8th to a 1/4 mile. Eagle #2 was closer, maybe 50-80 feet depending on where I was. I had to move around some to avoid branches from blocking his head.
I use the same camera for my moon photos.

Thanks! Sylvan Lake is another one of my favorite places. Like the Headwaters of the Mississippi though, it's always crawling with people which is understandable but, still, too bad.
Sylvan Lake has really grown in popularity since "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" came out. After seeing that movie, my kids INSISTED on going to Sylvan Lake. :2thumbs:
rebby, how did you manage to get a pic of Sylvan Lake without tourists crawling over the shot?
Disguise the camera as a .50 caliber machine gun & everyone just walks away. :shruggy:

:smilielol: I'll remember that. More often than not tourist's always get in the way and spoil the pics. Of course digital camera's are a great advantage now a days.
What a bummer it used to be (before digital) when you got your photos back and sure enough, there'd always be someone's head in the shot.

Right time of day, a little patience, and multiple shots. The same way that I got a clear shot of the headwaters. I picked a spot and shot multiple frames without moving (handheld in this case) while keeping an eye on the various people moving around. After a couple of minutes (and a little chimping) I was pretty sure that I could get a clear composite. In this case, I only used 2 frames and was able to remove all of the people that were out and about. I even pulled a boat out. There is another spot in the water that there was some stationary testing equipment that needed to be cloned out but that was a pretty straight forward process.
I have another picture of Sylvan Lake that I'm still working on. That one is a tall-panorama that shows the entire shore line. After getting rid of all people/boats, there are probably 25 frames (50mm portraits stacked horizontally and vertically). I'll see if I can't get it finished up over the next few days to add to this thread.
The pic a page (or two?) back of the Headwaters of the Mississippi was done in the same way. There were so many people/boats there that day though that it took about 10 frames to get that single shot!
Photoshop is fun! It's really the only way to get good/clear images of various landmarks that aren't packed with people that you don't know. Unless of course you know somebody and get them to close down the parks! If that's the case, give me call!!!

Are you saying that the 5" 1911 that I (often) open carry on my right hip helps??? Maybe that's why so many people run when I show up? I thought that they were intimidated by my giant white lenses... :confused:
FYI: That doesn't really happen. Barely anybody ever notices that I have gun. I'm convinced that I could have an AR slung to my back and nobody would look twice.

I think you're right there. People very rarely notice what's going on around them. I guess ignorance is bliss.

Here is my Sylvan Lake panoramic so far. It's not quite ready to print but it's getting close. The plan is to have this printed at 17x40 then framed with a double matte. We have a few walls in our house that we dedicate to our own photography and this is one (of few) that will be hitting the wall from this year.

A little smaller for those who can't see the whole thing at 1600px.

Eagle out on a limb;
I'm jealous of your eagle pics... Nice work!
Thanks!
Random tip when photographing an eagle. If it is ignoring you, like this;
Whistle, loudly. They can hear quite well & they WILL turn to look at you. Be ready. ;)
I can't seem to get that close. They would NOT hear me from my nearest vantage point. This is shot with a 1.6x crop factor camera @300mm and cropped to about 1/2 the frame. :'(
Just love all the eagle pics guys. :2thumbs:

There's an atmosphere, a connection even and a serenity you don't get with modern buildings. I could quite happily have those pics hanging on my walls.
Maybe you could post some of her pics up. I'd love to see more.
Between the four of us, we did get a lot of decent shots. I took all of my shots that day with my little pocket Pentax Optio S which I keep in an Altoids Tin in my pocket. It's a tiny bastard, and it's quite old, but it still takes a good picture. :cheers:
It beats lugging the K30 around all day when it's hot outside, and it's still good enough for the occasional 8 X 10 vacation shot.
This is one of the wife and I standing by those two carts in the earlier post. My daughter took this shot with her camera.

From about 6:30 this morning;
Looks like a very nice view :2thumbs: Must be nice
I like this one even better than your eagle shot. :2thumbs:

That was about 6 AM, this one & the next one about a 1/2 hour later from downtown.
Last one;
Alaska definitely has some great views. Thanks for sharing :2thumbs: :cheers:

What were you doing down there that time of the morning?
From much earlier today;
Looks good. Did Alaska not get much snow this year or is it warming up quicker there?
Is that the true colour of the sky? Very soothing. :2thumbs:
I am in SE Alaska, we average 13 feet of rain here a year. Large snowfall for us in Ketchikan is unusual.
Another view taken minutes after that one;
i did not take this pic but got it in an email but i had to put it on.
this is on lake erie and the people were feeding the eagles fish
I've got that pic too (had it for years). I've got to say, it's a pretty amazing shot isn't it. All those beautiful majestic birds. :2thumbs:

Found this little Easter operative outside my front door today. He must be looking for places to hide eggs, or to hide himself from the bobcat that's supposedly roaming the area. It stayed there for at least 4 hrs.
I love seeing a bunny at Easter. Probably because when I was around 6 years old my parents took me for a walk in the forest to find the eggs that they had hidden just minutes before and just as I spotted one, I saw a bunny hopping away.
Of course I'm all grown up now and don't believe in fairy tails but the two do go hand in hand this time of year. And it does bring back memories of a great childhood .

thought this was a nice "shot" got him early yesterday morning....... :2thumbs:
How many points? I'm unable to get a clear count. Did you get him with a rifle or bow?
11 pointer ...was hoping for 12 :'(, chasing some bigger stags , this one just happenned to be wandering around.
Didnt use a bow or rifle ...just gave him some of my wifes cooking :smilielol:
308 rifle , just a cheap rifle so i can put all my money into my mopar :2thumbs:
:smilielol: Good score :2thumbs:
cheers, there is 20 + trophy heads on the hill but they are more elusive
The great thing is that my home is 15 minutes drive to the hunting area and about an hour and a half to 2 hour walk up the hill (depending on how you walk / hunt )to where we caught up with this fella
Makes for a great retreat, doesn't it. My favorite fishing hole is about a 15 min drive away and is quiet enough to get away from it all. I guess you can call it a mini staycation.
sweet ...got any pics of your catches ?
I've got a couple of one I caught last year. It was dry, so the rivers wasn't moving very much.
I don't have a scale, and he wouldn't hold still long enough to use a tape, so I put him up against the cooler instead.
awesome , great colours on him /her ? too :cheers:
Channel cat is my fav. :drool5: I'd rather catch cats than I would bass. It takes a little more patience, but the fight and the meal is worth it.

My wife planted a few of those out back last season... The weather is begining to change here now, so they are just starting to pop up.
Nice pics of both the moon and the raindrops on the flower. Obviously taken by someone who knows what they are doing and has nice DSLR equipment. I haven't bought a nice DSLR yet but one is definitely in my future. Here is a "point-and-shoot" camera shot of the Fairmont Kea Lani grounds and pools in Wilea, Maui, Hawaii. Not as good as most of the pics here but ...........
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k195/69HEMICHARGER/DSC00135_zps7edc8ea5.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/user/69HEMICHARGER/media/DSC00135_zps7edc8ea5.jpg.html)
Thanks, I do not have a DSLR camera yet either. ;)
I am surprised that you do not use a DSLR for your moon shots. I have and older Celestron C8 with a Minolta adapter on the eyepiece from back in the early '80's and took a few pics on film of the moon and various celestial object that turned out pretty good but, I just do not have any DSLR equipment.
Probably looking at Nikon for it but a good Canon sure is nice. My son has professional Canon equipment (5D I think) for his action sports shots of his sons baseball games and they turn out outstanding. I just favor Nikon myself. Nikon is no better nor no worse than Canon when you start looking at pro-grade equipment, just different.
Need to start looking soon as my Charger is finished now! Ha!!
I use (for a little over two years now) a Canon SX30 IS
It has poor reviews compared to some, but it works for me.
I do miss the incredible macro of my old Sony Cybershot though.
Seems to work great for you! Good photo skills are always important. You, obviously, have them.
If the eye can see it, the camera can capture it with time & practice. For every shot that turns out, multiples turned out bad. Digital is a whole lot cheaper than film ever was though, so thankfully taking multiple shots to get one 'keeper' is a lot cheaper than it was decades ago. :cheers:
Taken minutes ago.
I like this one better, there's a little more to it.
The moon is waxing (heading towards full) so the more light it reflects, the easier it is for the camera to capture well.
I like this shot better myself, thanks Fred. :cheers:

Eagles and Owls, just love them. We have a pair of Frogmouth owls occasionally coming in for a drink at night. We have many bird baths around the place to accommodate all birds, (large and small) and it's a pleasure to see them.
Yes siree! Taste just like chicken.....a little fishy but chicky tasting none the less. :D

Brian, the wife uses PhotoScape. She's no professional but she says you can do heaps with that.
I do not use mac, but I am sure if you Google 'digital painting' or 'digital paint program' you will find something that will work with your operating system.
Thanks Guys, I bought Pixelmator, now the learning begins. Hey Fred you have got some cool looking birds down there, its like a pet shop,and your garden is awesome too :2thumbs: and not to leave Alaskan out, I love your state, I told the wife if she would just give me 3 months a year there, I would go where ever she wanted for the other 9,,,sadly no deal,,,,,,,,yet. I was there for three weeks in 2000 hunting and fishing with a High School friend who lives in Wassila and has a plane man,,,,that's the way to live,,,,,Brian
Thanks Brian, it is pretty special, we love our birds. Yesterday we saw 3 (they're a family of 4) of our regular wedge tail eagles soaring above us, they come down pretty low, sometimes just hovering above us. What a pleasure it is to see.
Good luck with the new software. These things a time consuming but fun. :2thumbs:

Did you take it home with you? because I can't see it. :scope:
Is that an ant hill behind those trees in the first pic?
In the garden...........
The second pic is for A6USMC (PhotoScape)
Very nice Fred, I don't know if I am all that happy with the Pixelmator I bought,,, I like your effect, mine although I can change the size of the shapes, it seems a bit to uniform. I don't know yet if another program is needed or probably its just my lack of experience,,,,Brian
I think it spotted the cat...........
WOW! that is beautiful. Is it the same eagle every time?
I have no way of tracking them unless it was from the same shoot at the same place on the same day, they are everywhere. Same photographer though.
It is drying its feathers after a cloudburst, common pose for them around here.
Ok. :2thumbs: They're my favourite bird followed closely by owls.
Nice pix TA :2thumbs:
Very nice photo :2thumbs: :2thumbs:,
and Fred if you like Eagles you need to go to Alaska,,,When I was there in 2000 I made a comment to my friend about many eagles there were, it was amazing, he replied that you get used to it, and having so many around, the locals call them buzzards in tuxedos. We are starting to get a good population again here in NY but Alaska is the Spot,,,,Brian

Yes, I just gleaned the from TA. I had no idea there are so many. Must be a sight to behold. :2thumbs:
Alaskan TA -
maybe we could trade for a year or so?? i go there to watch Eagles and you come here to watch scorpions...................................... :popcrn:
I am not interested in your trade, but my house is for sale, I want to move east. :cheers:
From today;
:2thumbs:
Move East? Of Alaska do you mean? Does that mean no more eagle pics? Pardon my ignorance.
45 years on a small island is more than enough.
No matter where I end up, I will have a camera. ;)

They are becoming a not too uncommon site in Northern Ohio as well. I do wonder how long before they will be viewed as pests.
This is how Mrsskip68 rolls! :2thumbs: Scorpion hunting time!

Damn awsome pics... You all live in cooler places than I do! Im lucky if my grass stays green all year...
I built this feeder some 18-20 years ago... and it's pretty much been neglected for the last 15 years or so. It's seen a lot of winters, but it's still holding together. :shruggy:
Mountain Laurel in the backyard.
It's hard to not love spring. Unless, you have allergies
Love that Laurel. Luckily I don't have any allergies. Boy do I love the smell of freshly cut grass.

That's a REALLY great shot! :2thumbs:
I love the way the stars, captured in the dark areas of the sky, are in contrast with the light of the setting sun. Perfect timing!
Awesome! Where is this place?
That is a fantastic shot of the setting sun on the wispy clouds and the stars already showing! Professional quality!

It's North of Poway and West of Ramona in SoCal. It's called Mt. Woodson. It's a pretty popular hiking trail head around here. They also sport a nice(Difficult) golf course at the base of the Mt.
Thanks for the compliments! Just got into the photography thing about 2 years ago!!
Here's another shot for you guys(been on the "low light" kick for a while now... hehe). Taken right form the back porch of the house.

I'll do one more for today. This one was taken around 1am. All the light is 100% the moon's lighting. This was taken in the Superstition Mt's near El Centro in CA. Infact those are El Centros lights in the distance.

I run the Cannon Rebel 3TI. Been a good camera once I figured out what lenses it likes. Really depends on how you want pictures to come out.
This would be about as entry level of a camera I would go if you want something a little more on the high end scale.
90% of my shots here were taken with a very old Pentax Option S pocket camera.
Another 9.9% were taken with a slightly better point & shoot camera, a Pentax X70.
...and a few of my shots were taken with a true DSLR camera, my Pentax K30.

Actually it was a family cruise that had been in the works for about a year. Barcelona, Cannes/Monte Carlo, Livorno (Florence and Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), Athens/Piraeus, Kusadasi, Santorini and Naples (Pompeii). Here is one from Montserrat (inland from Barcelona) at the start of our adventure. ;)

Nice pix, I'm a big fan of the abstract. On another note I'm sorry you have to undergo back surgery. It will turnout just fine and be worth it. Been there in 2008. My only advice is to do exactly as they say following surgery and the rest of your life. Lifestyle changes will have to be made, permanent ones.

Tom, I actually had my surgery on the 21st. They went in and found that part of the ruptured disk had broken off and essentially was bouncing on the nerves. Its amazing how much better I feel. I can move my legs without pain, I can actually feel my left leg again. I can walk normally, etc... But like they said, it is a different kind of pain after. The muscle tissue in my back is really painful. I can't sit up for very long amounts of time (doctor said no more than 15 minutes, and the back muscles agree. lol). I am supposed to walk for 30 minutes a day without going very far. But most off all, I am supposed to lay down and pretend my body is a log most of the time. So its really boring... I am actually on my way to the first follow up as soon as I finish this post, so wish me luck. Thanks, Jeremy :)

Reminds me of a little ditty I learned when I was a child, "Red skies at night, sailors delight. Red skies at morning, sailors take warning."
some pics of the smoke from the fire out here, 1000 fire fighters working it and only 10-15% contained
:rotz:
normally the sky looks like it is outside the left window, with all the smoke its getting to where you can't even see the Stratosphere

Here's a picture of a 1970 Coronet R/T taken at night in a garage with the lights out. Without a doubt, this is the most flattering way to capture a picture of one.

One of the first I look at on DCM is new posts in the "pictures by you" and "Pets" categories. Always a great way to start my day.
So many great shot to comment on. Good job guys and gals!
I love Kookaburras! Brings back memories of when I lived down under, as a young'un
Yes, they're the wife's favourite bird. She reckons nothing beats the sound of laughing kookaburras. It leaves her feeling totally at peace with the world.
This one also sits in her lap while she feeds it.
if you sat in her lap, she might feed you too

Yep, 5 degrees cooler than down below. When you see Melbourne's temps, take away 5*. Of course, my sister-in-law who's currently living in Austria calls them ant hills.
The moon over my neck of the woods a couple days ago, but not a star in sight, kinda different....never saw it like that before...

Basically, the Angel is crying because time is running out (the hourglass) on humanity!

South America??
Hey, a guess ! Ha ! Not South America. I will give a big hint. It is actually somewhere in Louisiana!
Never mind :scratchchin:
Surprised no one guessed it! It is the Kenny Hill Sculpture Garden, now owned by Nichols State University, located in the tiny town of Chauvin La. about 20 miles south of Houma La. on the Mississippi delta. You can see the canals leading to the Gulf of Mexico in both pictures. Very interesting story about the artist. Google this and learn about him.

When do they start heading south, or do they?
This species can hibernate.
We have monarchs here that migrate to Mexico. Unfortunately, due to loss of habitat in both locations, they're endangered.
Not my pic, but just for reference to what I'm talking about.

That's a real shame. Crows and Indian Minors are a bit of a pain for sure. I've got to say that's why we look after our native birds.......to keep them thriving. I don't want them packing there bags and moving on any time soon.

They've moved into the hills to and are getting closer to our place with each passing day. Erika says she saw some just next door this morning when she set out for her walk. They'll drive away the blackbirds because they're a little bit timid but hopefully the magpies will be able to stand their ground. We have two that regularly come for a feed and as long as there's something to be had, they won't move on any time soon.

Horseshoe crabs... older than dinosaurs.
QuoteHorseshoe crabs are not true crabs at all however. Horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Horseshoe crabs are often called "living fossils" because fossils of their ancestors date back almost 450 million years--that's 200 million years before dinosaurs existed.

I suppose they could be used that way :scratchchin:. They don't bite - but something about them always makes me hesitate before grabbing them.
They come up to the beach to lay eggs on the full moon in June in the Delaware bay - thousands as far as you can see.
That Balmain Bug is really neat.
I'll add these too. They are from last winter in a mangrove lagoon in the Florida Keys. Upside down jellies.
We are still rainy and cool. Not good car weather. Fall color like that pictured above doesn't make it as far south as I am and I definitely miss that.
Yes, they do resemble bicycle helmets at that. I'll have to check out the web to see how large they are, can't tell from that pic.
We had the best winter weather, took the charger out plenty but spring is a bit of a mixed bag. Cold and wet yesterday and again today.
Well I googled the horseshoe crab and found it all very interesting. I'd never heard of it or seen one (even in a pic) before.
I found some good pics but as they weren't taken by me, I posted them in the "Hijack" thread. Check it out.
That's one cool looking crab.

Very nice. :2thumbs:
Thankyou, it's the only thing that's cheering me up. The weather is terrible for this time of year. We've even got the heating on.
One could be forgiven for thinking we might have a white Christmas.
Great picture Fred. Is that taken at your place?

Yes it is Bruce, some of the back yard. The rain is really messing with the blooms this year though. This lot is pretty much the last to flower. All the other rhodies are done for the year.
Great shot Fred! :cheers:

Foggy Daybreak - November 11, 2013
awesome picture :yesnod:
My tallest cactus about to flower, a bonus was the corona above it. It is around 3 1/2 metres tall
And, 2 days later when it popped, it has over 60 flower buds on it on multi branches, neat! Last time it flowered was December 2010
Cactus have amazingly beautiful blooms. It's a shame the buggers are so prickly.
I love prickly pear but got a prickle stuck on the roof of my mouth once. Took days and days before someone actually saw it and was able to remove it with a pair of tweezers.

I know there are a lot of hunters out there and they will no doubt enjoy the pics. Maybe you could start a new thread called Kill of the Day or something where all that want to can post up their pics and or look at them can do so and others like me with "delicate sensibilities" won't have to. :2thumbs:

good for you, then no need to show it off then...right? Lets do nice pics here...
Come on guys, what's the deal? Hunting is as American as it gets. Drache is eating what he killed. Nothing wrong with that. Don't you guys eat meat? And if not that is your business, not ours. How do you think the burgers or juicy steaks get to our dinner tables?
I am not a hunter. Don't have the stomach to take a life. Don't want to go through the process of field dressing. But I sure like eating animals other people kill.
A pic of the day, is a nice pic. as seen in all the other posts, not a dude showing off his kill of the day...although, to be fair, haven't looked through all the pages on this thread, but the ones I have seen, didn't show a kill of the day pic!

And who determines that? This an open forum. Understand that when a person makes a post asking others to do the same, you may not always like what others like. That is how it is. You have no right to bash Drache because he posted something he is proud of. You don't have to like it, but you have no right to bash him.

I didn't come down in the last shower, I know where the food I eat comes from. That's not the point I was trying to make. We all have to eat, fair enough. I'm merely saying that not everybody is into hunting and therefore don't want to be confronted by a pic of a kill. :Twocents:
Thinking I have a right to say what I think, just like you have a right to tell me that I'm wrong for saying it....
Post the dead animal kills elsewhere, seems easy enough?

Thanks for the stand up posts Paul. Fred had a decent idea and since he was a good sport I created a thread for the hunters here. Ram07 can take his sensibilities and stuff them where the sun don't shine :nana:

First post in this thread by the OP, ck1, has a pile of dead fish in the second pic down. Go back up and take a look. The OP is probably an outdoorsman based on his other pics. He is a fisherman at least. Probably a hunter too. You guys came in late and expect to make the rules? I don't get it.

I saw that very first pic of the fish before I ever posted here so I'm quite familiar with the thread and you're probably going to call me hypocritical now but the fish pic is not a gory one.
I am done with this argument.
I don't think it was an argument...difference of opinions....dead fish, or a dead animal...pics a little different...sorry for having my say on an open forum.

Moon over Ketchikan, Alaska - December 14, 2013
Just had a few days off and tripped over to Morro Bay, on the central coast of California. On the right side of the harbor is Morro Rock, the remains of an ancient volcano, still about 800 feet high. First visited in 1542 by Cabrillo on his voyage on the west coast of North America.

Oak tree.
They can be up to 200 years old around Northern California.
A very hardy, long lived, species of tree.
For me, i think that's probably the best picture that i have taken. I like it a lot.
Quite a few people that i know, have a 30 x 20 blow up of it, framed, and hanging in their household.
Yes it's a beautiful pic. Would look great on a wall. Magnificent trees, oaks. The hills here are full of them. Hope it can hang in there.

Pommy or Pom[edit]
The terms pommy, pommie and pom, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa usually denotes an English person (or, less commonly, people from other parts of the UK).[9] After complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Board about five advertisements poking fun at "Poms",[10] the Board ruled (in 2006) that these words are not offensive.[11] The New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority made a similar ruling in 2010.
There are several folk etymologies for Pommy or Pom. The best-documented of these is that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[12][13] According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant".[14] Usage of "pomegranate" for English people may have been strengthened by a belief in Australia that sunburn occurred more frequently among English immigrants, turning those with fair skin the colour of pomegranates.[15] Another explanation – now generally considered to be a false etymology – was that "pom" or "pommy" were derived from an acronym such as POM ("Prisoner of Millbank"), POME ("Prisoner of Mother England") or POHMS ("Prisoner Of Her Majesty's Service").[16] However, there is no evidence that such terms, or their acronyms, were used in Australia when "pom" and "pommy" entered use there. Another folk etymology suggests that the term was derived from the word "pompous".[citation needed]

Same. The standard joke here doing the rounds for years is when a Kiwi gets to Aussie immigration at the airport, and the Aussie counter clerk asks him to declare any previous convictions before entering the country, the Kiwi replies " I didn't think we needed them anymore". :lol:

Was out working as a Wildlife Monitor (protecting working crews from wildlife) so I snapped a few pictures. Sorry for the poor quality but I'm learning a new camera.
You learned fast, they are some great pics there. :2thumbs:

My neighbors ride.
Going to Fomoso for the nostalgia drags this weekend. Hoping to get in the eights.
From a recent vacation to visit my sister in law.
The view from her patio. Camera in one hand, ice cold adult beverage in the other
A few views of the Grand Canyon . We sure have some beautiful country to see
Hands down the best trip I have ever takennnn bar none.
I have practically the same pics (taken on one of our visits). It's a jaw dropping experience to stand in front of all that splendour.
It's one thing to view it on a post card but quite another to view it in person. AWESOME! :2thumbs:

I was about to shoot the bear in the first set until one of the three cubs popped their head up. The second bear was a little too small although legal to shoot. The third bear which I didn't get pictures of since I was going to shoot it walked behind a hill and by the time I got there was gone. :brickwall:
Would you have eaten/donated the meat and made use of the hide?

I only hunt for the meat. I'm not a trophy hunter.

Where were the bears???
I decided I would add a couple pics to this thread that I took as I think I read that is a requirement . . . .
The asphalt plant this morning.
The annual VFR list gathering in New England sent myself and 3 other old friends into Maine for a 400mi day trip on our "vintage" VFR750s. This was taken at the apex of our loop just south of Oquossoc, Maine, in the Rangeley area. As much as these panorama shots are cool they just can't do the view justice. Awesome day with old friends!
Here is a direct link to the scenic overlook where the photo was taken..

Not an artistic pic. Could add some effect or filter from the iPhone pic editor, but preffered like it was. At my job you can find this quite often... ( sometimes even BETTER, but without a chance to be a nice paparazzi )
Kind of art anyway, I think... doesn't ?
and... well, something more "artistic"
taken with the pentax K-x, 72-300 Sigma apo lense in AUTO function LOL. In front of my home ( 6th floor )
OOooh... Nacho is a fellow Pentaxian. :2thumbs:
I used the Pentax K30 for my previous shots. :cheers:
well, but really dunno about photography... want to learnt.
My previous pics ( lot of replies ago ) of a sail ship in Spain was taken with same camera, but standard 18-55 lense
I've been working up in Abu Dhabi for 4 1/2 months, recently it was UAE National Day meaning the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Union.
Huge amount of signs, flags, bunting and coloured lights all over the city. And crazy driving.
I guess I was the only one thinking "Cool, its Richard Petty Day"
Next one is a sunset over the water out in the Persian Gulf.
Hard at work ;)
Nice shots Bob! :cheers:

Same deal with recognisable pics of our Ship, none- period.
Plenty of other cool Ships out there though, that catch and release gig would be fun :icon_smile_big:

This fire has been going since 8/13 but it remained small due to no wind. Well, yesterday the winds here really picked up and the fire grew to 12,000 acres. It's located 20 miles south of town in the Wenaha wilderness area. Started by 13 lightning strikes that have since combined into one fire.

There's no need to get on your high horse unless you're willing to get bucked off, dub. It was just a friendly reminder of what has already been mentioned in this thread already by Troy. Your pix are fine, but for future reference, you should post pix of things that you have taken.
Not a problem. I'm not on my high horse. If I do get on it I will take a picture of it. :2thumbs:

I didn't know this either when I first started posting pics here (as I didn't go all the way back to the beginning) and was promptly set right which is why I asked the creator of this thread to include the words ....."by you" so that there can be no more misunderstanding.

That is a new 65 Fleming I offloaded at the port of Baltimore this past Monday. And that is the Francis Scott Key bridge in the background, the body of water is where the battle took place that inspired him to write our national anthem. Sorry for the history lesson, I thought it was kind of cool.

Barn Owl Rescued from a barb wire fence.

Poor little guy. Was his right wing broken?
Surprisingly no, just worn raw from struggling for however many hours. I had to cut the barb wire to get the owl loose. I took it to a wildlife rescue a few miles away.

We are very fortunate, along with a lot of hardwork we have the next two years sold. Very low production yacht, we should see a new Fleming every 6 to 8 weeks for the next 24 month.

My ancestors name was Judson Clark. He volunteered for the Civil war in 1862 and was placed into Company "D" of the 1st Colorado Cavalry for a 3 year term. Now Civil War history buffs might recognize the 1st Colorado as Chivington's Unit... the Unit that is known for the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864.
The head of Comanpy "D" was a Captain Soule. He was an honourble man and along with one other Captain, refused to take part in Sand Creek. He told his men they would not fire upon the Natives. For this he faced court martial. Afterwards he even testified against Chivington and for this he faced death threats. In fact, in 1865, Captain Soule was shot and killed by a Cavalryman who was at Sand Creek (A member of the 2nd Colorado). A friend of Soules chased the man into New Mexico and brought him to justice, only for the murderer to escape and was never caught again. The friend of Soule's was then found poisoned to death shortly afterwards.
Judson Clark after being released went into the Black Hills, Wyoming and disappeared with a group of others looking for gold in 1869. The interesting part though was out of the 5 guys, one guy crawled out and said they were attacked by Indians. The bodies of the rest were recovered except for Judson Clark which was never found.
That's fascinating! So did Judson spend the majority of the war on the western front?

So I found this trail that overlooks the Fraser River. Really nice view... but spotted something I never seen before. On a small rock island in the middle of the river was an old cabin! I have no idea how someone would get over there, maybe there was a bridge at one time.

Beautiful service and lots of support from all. A reminder to all out there to take time to enjoy your families and yourselves when the opportunities present themselves. I didn't know him well but he served the department of our neighboring town and I have several friends that served beside him. :patriot: RIP Charles

Beautiful dog, and awesome that you're saving it's life cause most cats and dogs get a lethal injection after being in the pound for 1 month.
"Good looking dog, is he a White German Sheppard?"
No, he's a Great Pyrenees. Catching him running while his ears were bounced up may have been confusing.

Good looking dog, Never heard of that breed. Yeah the ears flipped up from running definitely changes the look
Great pictures everyone. If I had a camera that would take good low light pictures the sky has been beautiful lately at sun down. I have a couple chairs out behind my barn where I go set at sundown have a beer and relax with nothing but country side and the sky.
Awesome breed. Old neighbor had one. Super gentile. Huge too. Have fun with his coat. And the shedding. :laugh:

Thanks for posting the pics, that's very interesting. The boat looks like it's in very nice condition, compared to some of the ones in your previous pics.
Every time I see pics of those cargo ships, I'm amazed they don't tip over from the weight of all the containers up top. :icon_smile_big:
Its amazing what people had to do to get and maintain water on their farms 100 years ago. I couldn't imagine digging this well. This well is on a property I own. Waters down 17 foot from the top and I wasn't able measure how much water is in there.

Must be Fedex.
Despite some of the craziness, I loved driving that highway. I'd hold my Jeep Liberty right at its limiter of about 106 mph and fly. Every once in a while, there'd be a random batch of bricks scattered on the road because the brick trucks didn't secure their loads any better than the guy in the photo.

Found an NOS back up lens for my 1955 Plymouth to replace one that was well past its prime.
Took this, this morning just before leaving for work out my apartment window.

Might not be necessary in that state. Kentucky you don't have to have working trailer lights if the vehicle brake lights are visible.

Saw this flower the other day, I have no idea what kind of flower it is, but I like it.
It's certainly a lily. But there are 1000s of them, can't identify beyond the basics.
Family: Liliaceae
Subfamily: Lilioideae
Tribe: Lilieae
Genus: Lilium
That is a spectacular specimen (toxic to cats by the way).
:2thumbs:
Awesome flower!
Thursday morning going to work.

It's been too hot to walk around the neighborhood lately. Fortunately, Gambrill State Park is just a few miles away. It's usually 5 to 7 degrees cooler there and shaded. Plus, he loves the woods.

I've wanted to take a couple shots of my Townie in front of a cool mansion that's just a tad bit out of my price range. :lol: The locals call it "the Castle", in Layton, Utah. There was smoke from a mountain fire in the air that day, so it kinda messed with the colors a little.

A small part of the house is visible here...

If it wasn't so smoky, you could see much further, because just beyond the smoke line is the north eastern end of the Great Salt Lake. But as it is, they still have quite a view of the valley below.

What the island looks like after the wildfires:(https://i.imgur.com/jcuPzmF.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/eVwjjih.jpg)
That is messed up! What a waste...
Those pictures really show just how destructive wildfires are. I did geological work about 80 miles north of Yellowknife in the 1990s and we had some burned areas. It brings back memories about how much was exposed as a result of the fires. It is a real shame to lose an old structure like that one in your picture though. Don't I remember you posting the before fire picture a while ago. At the time it struck me as particularly nice.
I don't know if I've posted this before or not, I still think it's a cool pic. The 4020 on the far left is mine.
The drum solo part of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida from the Iron Butterfly show I went to recently. :coolgleamA:
The fuel sender in my 1955 Plymouth was bad, showing 24 ohms at both full and empty. Definitely not in spec. While I wait for a '55 Plymouth wagon sender to show up at some point in time, I hung a cheap aftermarket gauge under the dash and adapted its sender to the top of the old sender.

Was not expecting to see this on my walk along the beach I live on the other week! Quite a cool waterspout. The weather had been pretty stormy and warm so that increases the chances. Interesting fact time!.....per square mile the UK has more Tornados then any other country in the world.......just not very big ones luckily. Where I live we get quite a few due to the shape of the coast and the near by Isle of Wight. Lesson over!

Photos at a pre-bid meeting. A large retaining wall behind a shopping center needs some duct tape. :lol:
It's 40+ feet tall & about 1200 feet long. :o
Man, that wall doesn't look like an easy fix!
Quote from: Charger_Fan on September 23, 2017, 03:46:14 PM
Man, that wall doesn't look like an easy fix!
Nope, not easy & it was fixed already in several places so the plan now is to build a new one. The failing one is not even that old, it was built in the early 1990's.
Most areas in front of the wall it's at least a 30° incline & some even steeper. You'll need to construct a level access road that needs a temporary wall & fill it in to be able to work. Another option is to lower a work platform from above by crane, but it'll have to be a huge crane with a long reach since you can't go near the wall from above with a heavy piece of equipment.
My Uncle and his sons dug up his 383 that was thrown behind a shed in the early 1980's. I tried to dig it up in the early nineties and by then it was halfway buried.
I'm sure it's garbage but still cool to see. Loving the yellow paint on it, gave my Uncle a hard time about that :icon_smile_big:
It would be a cool story if it can be rebuilt. I'd guess that the block would still be okay, right?

That would be very cool indeed, but sadly I think it got ruined the first winter it sat through, I would imagine that ice formed in places and caused cracks? I can picture the cylinders being one solid mass of piston and rod, but someday I will mess around with it. He put it there in the first place after it spun a bearing.

Yeah, I'd suspect freeze damage at some point. Rain, freezing weather, done. My buddy's spare 400 split right down the freeze plugs on one side, 3 to 9 o'clock across all three on one side. Lesson learned. :Twocents:

That's really interesting. I (like most people I imagine) thought America was the Tornado capital of the world. I had no idea they occurred so frequently in the UK.

This critter was napping behind my door shell leaning up against the exterior wall of the property line. It was at night time so I caught off guard as well as him catching me off guard! :o
There was a large fly in the house and he was determined to catch it.

That looks just like the upper midwest of the U.S. this time of year. Do you get harsh winters there? The midwest does.
No...Sussex is on the South Coast of the UK....so very mild. Only get a couple of dozen frosts (mornings below 32F) per year around here. Have had no serious snow since 2010.....and most years we get none. :2thumbs:
Not the best photos but it was pretty impressive watching this 3 million kilogram (6,613,868 lb) bridge section being moved down the road. Each dolly had 72 wheels and there were a total of 5 dollys (360 wheels).
Impressive. :2thumbs:
Way cool! :2thumbs:
Better question is why ?
Did they move it from one place to another place that needed a bridge or did they put it together someplace and move it to its new home ?
About 70,000 cars use that section of road a day so they built it off to the side to minimize traffic disruptions. It is all part of a major road upgrade as that section of road is terrible in peak hour.
Been a while since anyone has posted here so.... why not.

Just in case you should care what I (alfaitalia....real name Dean!) should look like....this was taken a couple of weeks ago at a friends 40th and I quite like the photo. It was a black tie event. The fact I even own a tux that still (just) fits after nearly 30 years is good......but the fact I'm drinking pints rather than nice little things in champagne flutes the other guests shows you how out of place I feel at things like this !!!...lol. And my wife does not drink at all....which is handy when it comes to getting home!!! ! The lovely lady to my left is Mrs Alfaitalia....looking lovely as always (she might read this!!). I thought we brushed up all right for a couple of 51 year olds!! The curves in the dress to my right is the birthday girl.

Here's a couple more...
That looks a lot like the super charger from years ago. What is the story with this car?
It stems from the original 68 Topless Charger Concept.
Jim built his own... Jim's a real handy guy, especially when it comes to repurposing totally unrelated items. Example... it's hard to see in those pic's, but he made the steering wheel for the car by cutting open some old motorcycle mufflers, removing the perforated stainless steel tubing inside, and bending them into a circle... a hollow, perforated steering wheel made out of stainless, it looks super cool to say the least.
Here's a couple of shots of Jim's 64 Concept Clone seen in the background above.
The only 1st Gen Charger Vert... also one of Jim's creations :yesnod:
Jim's latest creation... the 65 Concept...
Another example of Jim repurposing items... Jim made the front grille surround out of those Handicap Handrails you see in bathrooms, and the grille itself is made from luggage rails he found on the roof of an old Ford Station Wagon. I had the pleasure of seeing this one in the rough, starting from scratch. Considering the fact that Jim has little or no tooling to speak of outside of a sewing machine, a few basic hand tools, and a small group of friends, some pretty amazing things roll out of his workshop. He does have his own little 120V Mig welder now though :lol:

It's going to be our family vacation property, we will stay there for 1.5-2 months per year and the rest period I will rent it to tourists.

Right behind him there was a second ( they usually take off one right after the other. At least 2, sometimes up to 6 ,,one right after the other Pretty cool
That would have been so cool to see.

An unwanted Halloween visitor.

That was the original 1966 fixture from when the house was built. That chain was sticky and undustable. Sunday, I finally took it down and put up a new fixture. It was gross. I didn't think the people who sold me the house smoked, but maybe they had friends or family members who did when they visited because that chain reminded me of the gross film that was on things in my parents house.
Show me the way to the next whiskey bar...

Potters Shed...
We had roughly 10" of snow last weekend at my place in the mountains. My buddy that lives just 15 minutes down the street, only got a 1/2".
Awesome. I love snow !!
Me to....not had more than a few flakes here since about 2012.
Your not too far from snow area's.
Not by US standards of distance I guess! I could go north to Scotland to snowboard (600 miles ish from me)..but you could not book too far in advance as the snow is not reliable...either loads or none at all. And it's usually cold and windy too. I prefer to head South about the same distance to the French Alps (about the same distance buy I usually fly...much faster and no Channel ferry cruising to sort).....90% reliable snow and blue sky conditions a lot of the time...especially in Feb & March. My two favorite haunts are Valdisere and Chamonix....both high resorts for good snow and a long season.
Sunset , Thanksgiving day comes to an end
