Doc B...

Those photo's Master Gwil turned out drastically different than they looked to the naked eye. For starters, they are a bit blurry. I feel that this was due to the fact that it was MUCH darker than the images imply. Secondly, the effect looked surprisingly similar to a searchlight or light saber when I viewed it before clicking. Thirdly, the shot looks centered but I extended the image upward past the top of the light beacon effect I saw with my eyes. It came out centered but I couldn't tell that until I arrived home and looked at them in full scale on my PC. Sadly, my only complaint is the blurry. At low light level my camera balks a bit. Its more than likely my inexperience at taking lower lightlevel shots. The camera has a few more settings than I know how to employ.

I wish I could have previewed the shots. I might have tried alternate settings in the hopes of a perfectly clear shot.

Wife took this picture for me on my last run to Florida.

The shot is of a bridge near Mobile Bay. Specifically the one leading to the Battleship Museum.

The hurricanes musta put a major hurt on this one. Notice the distinct side shift of the bridge segment.

Very prophetic Fisheye. We have a similar bird scattered throughout the States. White and Brown if I recall. The Snow is definitely surprising.

Now my turn. I took these pictures on my last run. If they are blurry to much I can upload the full versions which are 3.2 MP in scope.

The deer are from a town called: Hondo, New Mexico

The cave house is also from Hondo.

The missle is of course from: White Sands, New Mexico

Hope these images fit, I shrunk them as small as I dare.

I know its not but, that last picture really is amazing. It looks like its under water. The angle and tint of the light makes one think you are looking in a clear aquarium.

Nice pics Obie.

Unfortunatly it's more like 3 hours from portland I think, but yes, it's really cool. It's too cold and snowbound at the moment, but if you get in far enough the Olympic mountains are really cool as well.

While I'm at it... Here's a recent shot from Paradise on Mt. Rainer:

In times of old... Last year. I was in a quandary about how to capture screens from a movie. Well PowerDVD seems to have heard and rendered an acceptable method. Their screen captures are easy. All I need do is apply a bit of XAT to them and they are good to go for Snarkpit posting.

Just in case some of you may want to build a bit of Hogwarts from the newest movie here are 6 for you. I have noticed that Hogwarts has grown with the children over the past 4 years. The shots are noticeably different.

Anyway, enjoy these shots.
