Hi Guys!

I'm sure you can find my picture somewhere in this mess, but I just decided to come back and post more as my chances of going to college are actually becoming reality.

So... here's a recent one of me. Sorry it sucks, I took it with my phone the other night before leaving. I wear glasses, too, they're just not in the picture because I couldn't find them. Stupid things are always getting lost.

So... I guess this is a re-welcome for me! :)

I don't know about you, but when I lose my glasses, I need my glasses to find my glasses.

The nose and eyes are different. But the hair and forehead are the same.

That's great SimplySolitary_. Go for it!

Nice picture - you look mahvelous (to quote Billy Crystal as Fernando). I started wearing reading glasses about three years ago. Fortunately I have several pair which I keep in strategic locations - e.g. by the computer, or stack of books.

Mmm! Looks like summer squash, mushrooms and pork tenderloin (just guessing on the meat.) Good eats, in any case, I'll bet, Pooh Bear.

Oo so you have a second day of Christmas partying. I have one.

Looks like fun.

In Poland we met for the first time on Christmas Eve (that's when you exchange your presents), then there are first day of Christmas and second day of Christmas. Both Christmas days are national holidays (but not Christmas Eve).

I've stunt-doubled for another bald dude named Bruce. Not Gordon Liddy, that would be a risky Secret Service position.:bugeye:

I think we can safely exclude Mars from the choices. Nice pic, baywax, and nice neighborhood.

Very cool touch with the pencil Dave.

You are innately using a technique where the line fades in and out
in intensity to show stresses and to show compound curvatures of
an object (or a very round head!)

If you want, try eliciting the same effect by being aware of the pressure
you're using with the pencil. Pressing harder will give you a surface that
is closer and lightning up will give you a more distant and curving way
surface. That's very good though.
Cross-hatching is a delightful way to shade an area. Check out Albrecht Durur's
use of it in his etchings and drawings. You could be the next Durur dude! Just
ask Andre about that guy. Totally cool... no use of the camera obscura... the guy
was fantastic with drawing. Vermeer on the other hand, had help with the
camera obscura.

Here's one I whipped up while I was typing a response...:smile:

Different angle, different century :wink:

This is 70 years old postcard sent in 1938 from Croatia (then Jugoslavia) to Germany.

As far as I recall, the photo was taken while i was on my way back down from Biokovo. It was taken by a lady I think was Polish heading in the opposite direction.

Thanks for the history, Borek. These perspectives are important.

No you're not, you're about to go out on a frozen lake. MEN!

At least take pictures before you fall through the ice!

Have you seen Biokovska Cesta? It is a very picturesque, winding road up in the mountains over Makarska. Pretty narrow (barely for one car, with passing places here and there), it ends on Sveti Jure mountain. I have pictures taken back in 1998, but they don't give a feeling of the place.
 
  • #3,544
Yes, I was on Sveti Jura, but I walked up the path from Makarska. You can see the road, but I wasn't on it. It had rained steadily for the previous 5 days, so as soon as I thought the clouds were lifting I started walking. And the further I walked, the more the clouds cleared so I said I might as well go all the way. I was alone, so didn't take many photos. Mostly of the vista opening up below me. I'll add a few more to the picasa webalbum.

Don't worry. The river was frozen solid, so no fear of falling through. I can now say I have walked on the Rijn. Temperatures are coming back up so there will be no more skating after tomorrow. Did I tell you I lost 4 kg in as many days with this damn flu?

You should be able to find one online or through a camera store.
 
  • #3,548
It should be a USB cable. Find one compatible with the camera model. Presumably one could order on-line from the camera manufacturer or online wholesaler/retailer.
 
  • #3,549
If it is a USB cable buying one from the camera manufacturer is IMHO waste of money. Usually they want you to paid much more than the good cable is worth.
