Oh, are you in Joisey?Nice view , kinda my view from Jersey but it's cold today
I like the water image a lot. Are you close to Wales in the UK somewhere or from much further away?Some more photos from the trip to Wales, and trying out the long exposure mode.
This was near Tenby, on a rare day it wasn't raining..I like the water image a lot. Are you close to Wales in the UK somewhere or from much further away?
And what did you do to capture that water that way. I can never figure out what exposure to capture it.
Glad to see your feet stayed unpunctured! And yes the seemingly inexplicable size differences of images, at least to me, while trying to upload them is interesting.Here was an accident waiting to happen. Oh, wait, it did happen. I accidentally hit the knife on the table and I heard it hit. I thought it fell onto the adjacent stool. NO IT DID NOT! I knew I had to take a picture or two. When I went to get it, it was really quite well embedded and it took quite the two-handed pull to remove it.
Interesting. The first image was about 4600kb while the second was too large at around 6000kb and had to be resized to post. They look so darn similar in composition.

Thanks for that Olympic Sculpture Park link! Your images, and theirs are really great.@winmod21
Thanks for the links. The issue with the size is that only after an attempted upload do you error out and then have to resize/rescale the images. I use Irfanview on the computer. You can set a percentage. Occasionally, the first scaling down is insufficient, so I have to do it again.
And, yes, Olympic Sculpture Park is part of the Seattle Art Museum and is located on the waterfront. Great location and some really neat and some very large sculptures. It was an old oil tank farm terminal. Oh, and both photo shoots were on a bike ride - wheel the bike up and down paths and ramps and the occasional staircase!
Not my picture! It bridges a road and rail tracks.

I went with this scanner from Kodak. It is a bit tedious but did a good job on some test slides. My motivation, yet to be achieved, was to scan slides from Greece from 50 years ago to compare with my recent trip. I friend has a more automated one but pretty pricy.Thanks for that Olympic Sculpture Park link! Your images, and theirs are really great.
I saw the Old Spaghetti Factory !=))
Aw yes, I remember that old oil tank farm terminal, and the grain elevator terminal (is that still there?).
We used to walk & bike ride that shoreline trail occasionally. And way back, used to go dancing all the time at the Pier 70 Bar (which used to be at the end of the pier; don't know if it still is), where I also had a girlfriend who bartended there.
Looks like a fun place to ride and explore. You sure do get around!
Haven't heard of Irfanview, so will check it out. Thanks!
We're still thinking of investing in an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner, in order to digitize our endless drawers & boxes of old photos & slides & film. Have you any experience with similar?
We also happen to be currently in need of a new: All-in-One and/or Home Office and/or Home Photo Printer. Main problem though, seems to be in finding one without tons of nightmarish [ 1 Star - "Absolute Junk" - "I'll never buy a _____ again!" ] reviews.![]()
