Takes me back to Laconia in the 60s !

I would have thought that Grac I would have thought that Graceb1010 was trying to produce an analogue capture, rather than a digitally manufactured interpretation.

Can you show an example? :rolleyes:

If the picture is worth saving, print it. If the picture isn't worth printing, then it isn't worth worrying about. Nobody will ever look at your pictures, if they are just meaningless snapshots of nothing in particular, especially if ( as likely, at a rate of 1000+ per diem) they are repetitive drivel. I have spoken.

I have pictures of my Mom age 16 or so, about 1925, with a house in the background, which is still there. Thanks to your inspired idea, I'd like to try to get my grand-daughters, about the same age as Mom was, in a picture at the same place, across the street from the property where I, my Mom, and her father were born. I also have a picture of the house that I was born in, with my Great-Grandmother as the subject ( maybe 1918?) , and another picture of the same house, with my 2-year old self as the subject ( 1952 ??). I've always thought that these pictures are very special.

".....on Shooting Hummingbirds.....", My Daddy always told me, don't shoot anything you don't intend to eat.

That's a really nice looking bag, but it looks like leather rather than cotton canvas.

Why even bother wth digital?

I may be misunderstanding you, but it seems that you're saying that, in your opinion, the FM series of Nikon camera are among the "cheaper ones", because of the bent part?

White. Flat, matte ceiling white.

We're currently undergoing a very controversial public dispute, in Ottawa, about a planned addition to the Chateau Laurier hotel. Originally designed in something called Gothic Revival Chateauesque, the building was intended to reflect and complement the Canadian Parliament buildings, on the same block. The building is now about 100 years old (actually older than the current 1927 Parliament buildings), and the new (2013) owners are planning to construct a massive addition, in beautiful 21st century style. The proposed design, described by much of the public as " a huge radiator" has been recently approved by city council, but a very intense public legal opposition has been mounted.

Good Heavens, what is it? She seems to have an attitude!

I fully agree with Sandy and JDM about the forum, but I have a frustration, definitely personal, but perhaps others share it. Every day there are spectacular pictures, often of local or foreign scenes, streets, buildings, etc., with a notation of, perhaps, a beautiful 12th century church as " Nikon D7100". Obviously, a rose is a rose.....(Stein) but a clear identification of a subject which is interesting would not abuse the "No Words" rule. Any opinion on that?

So did I, and now I wish that I had never seen a digital camera. The zero expense, and spontaneity of "the next frame" eliminated my previous habits of care, forethought, planning .... and care. I ended up with several hard-drives full of repetitious trivial crap, and a huge workload in editing ( and discarding) an exponentially larger proportion of pictures, and intentionally saving far fewer than my prior film average. I've since shifted back to a preference toward film, but I have yet to reclaim the fascination that my film days held for me. I've lost the patience, and the eye; I'm trying to recover.
