Now, on my "cyanotype" image above.... For fun the other day, I set the following task to one of my more sophisticated AI assistants. It's about...

Small win today. Was looking through my Valentine's Day decor to see what I had. Seemed a little bare. Was going to look online to see what I could...

Alan, thanks for the tutorial! I guess I'm a slow learner, considering I've been on this site for >25 years?? BTW, I love the picture of the...

I see suitable transparencies available easily in sizes up to 13”x19”. If you can go to rolls you can get substantially bigger. I’m going with...

Yep, you're not actually 'uploading' a photo here, you're copying and pasting a photo which has already been uploaded to a site elsewhere. The result...

No, you may not know I've moved a bit further north, just north of Olympia. The CU I belonged to in SW WA was only within Clark County.

I took this snapshot while DH was driving us back to the Islands. I haven't adjusted any filters, and the shot is in "color" but I love both how the...

Hey, welcome back!

I know nothing of films, filters, settings, or any such. What I do know is that black and white pictures, to me, are much more evocative than...

You are not the only one feeling scared! Project 2025 is in full force and worse IMO.

Years ago when I worked for Multnomah County (OR) I was a member of both Multco and PACE Credit Unions - both opened my eyes towards avoiding for...

I worked for 16 years at an orthopedic rehab facility. One of our more eminent ortho MDs was quite well-connected with some pretty famous people. ...

Sorry it didn't work out for you Tradd. I too am looking to change career (more so change locations closer to home). Been looking for about a year...

That would be pretty interesting and certainly unique. I might picture how one might make a 4x5 sheet for contact printing, but larger print sizes...

I wonder since so many of the Federal Prosecutors resigned rather than take up investigations into the mother of three and her partner if they will...

No. There is NO justification! It is interesting to note though a few republicans are finally speaking out against the regime and IL’s many...

I'm looking to take this monochrome sensor digital images, turning them into negatives and printing the negatives onto transparency films, then...

You know we could have an awful lot of interesting discussion regarding those three claims. Are you up for it?

You did capture a pretty wide dynamic range, by my eye. In my amateurish camera days, which are not quite over, I probably would have tried a...

Asshole trump is insisting the US take Greenland by force, if needed. he is talking of force in Iran and sending masked thugs to round up people in ...

Our U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments about two state laws, Idaho and West Virginia, that ban men from women’s sports in their schools. It...

okay---i can visualize this: Fanaticrat protessers, with their orange hair and tats and piercings, laying on the runway up there at Offut in Zurra,...

What am I watching? On TV? Nearly nothing. We haven't had it on in days. Since the last football game I imagine. What I HAVE been watching is a...

I’ve been using a monochrome sensor camera recently. It is incapable of taking color photos at all. There are some significant advantages to...

I've seen a couple of Caleb's videos. Seems like a fair guy. Yells at people who need it and compassionate to those who need it. I have always been...

Well, that was a bust. The salary was $30K less than I currently make. There's no way that would work for me. I was making that back in 2020! Plus I...

The cats that live in our woods only last about two generations. Moms/Dads with kittens but once those kittens have their own, their parents aren't...

I used to see feral cats along one of my routes and would see winter warming cardboard boxes around for them, but haven't seen any for a couple of...

Fingers are crossed!!!

Black and white is so effective, I guess because we dont see b & w images too often. When I make a floral design for a competition, I like to take...

Yes, I hope it goes well.

We had a time with raccoons getting into our trash to where I would stick a cinder block on top of the can. I came out to my car one morning and...

Sunday- Tamale pie Monday- BBQ burger bombs Tuesday- Tacos Wednesday- Biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon Thursday- Italian Bake Friday- Out to...

They are such harmless environmental good guys. I prefer to get my protein elsewhere.

Nice, Bae. The black and white is kind of moody and atmospheric.

IL: That's a really clever idea, although my hair isn't quite long enough to tie back. Klunick: Great news about your DH! Tradd: Fingers...

okay-----i been sitting here, re-watching news clips of fanaticrat white females scrimmaging with ICE agents in MPLS. So yeah---who needs futbol or...

Pre-screen interview (video call) at 730 am central tomorrow. Fingers crossed, please!

Went out for a little stroll today:

Wonderful, Klunick! Congrats to your dh.

I've been through a regime of foot problems. At one time two podiatrists both proposed surgically shortening three toes on each foot to correct...

I always get the spelling wrong and have been chastised for. Yes, ...gH. My home town of 100,000 had a morning and evening paper. I had friends...

I know we have a couple of threads about RMD‘s, but I’m posting my thoughts here about my own RMD just to keep it on this thread where I can find it...

since this thread started, I’ve been watching more of Caleb Hammer.. I think he’s funny at times ( a little goes a long way) but definitely goes for...

It is Pittsburgh, Post Gazette. Growing up we had 2 newspapers each day, Pittsburgh Press and the Post Gazette. Haven't lived there since the 60s....

Especially if you feed them on corn a week or so before you fry ‘em up.

I peruse the Golden Globe nominees and winners for films and television product. I have seen none of this films. None. I have desire to see none...

Just finished Pro Bono, a KDrama where a promising judge on the track to be the next Supreme Court Justice is caught in a scandal and resigns. He...

Klunick this is such good news! Health improvements as ee get older are wonderful.

Of course that incident was jihad, justified by religious fervor. But these are not fueled by ideas of serving God: * 3 million killed in...

Once I get home from work, I plan on going through our files and getting rid of all bills and unnecessary paperwork that accumulated Jan-Nov 2025....

Husband's A-fib appears to finally be gone for good! He has gone through a couple procedures that only got rid of it for about a week or so. Last...

You really think 9/11 would have happened without Islam? Really wrong. Suggest you read The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. I was...

Good job, I love possums. They are the sweetest!

It's probably best for us to agree to disagree on this one.

okay----you kids musta forgot the Ukrainia is your fav-o-rite country!!??? So yeah----Triumph is already boasting about conquering...

I haven’t observed that mankind needs any special religious guidance to commit brutality and mayhem.

I once forgot to bring a baited squirrel live trap in at night and the next day a skunk had somehow crammed his whole body into the trap and was...
