You sure were. I like that one. I like this theme. I have a bunch I could use already from the weekend, but I think I'll hold out for now.

Thanks :)

I can't believe we are pretty much half way through with no more entries. I suspect it being the summer may have something to do with it and a lot of people are on their holidays etc.

Just waiting still. I haven't processed any of the shots I took this weekend. There were a couple I wanted to see for entering. I hopefully won't forget this time.

Fine, but I've got 10 days to find something better, haha. I wanted to use my car but I haven't gotten anything that I really like yet. This one was cool though, caught a stream on the way down.

On the plus, I think my photography/post processing skills have increased quite a bit recently, so hopefully I start getting more quality shots. Still learning this camera.

Having a nice fancy camera certainly allows for a little more flexibility with somethings but you don't need it to take a great photo. 

 

 

How does one post a flicker link please?

When you post, there is a little tool for posting pic's as long as you have the URL to the picture itself.

Yep know all about that ta but I cant seem to get a valid link from google+ or flickr the later says use the 365d86d29dc9ece5eea8d6f5034eb817.png shortcut but it doesnt appear to show a direct link

Oh I see, sorry, didn't mean to think so little of you!

 

I see it's hosted on Flickr so if you go to your photo stream and select the image, it should open it to a more detailed view etc. Then if you right click you get options to view in a specific size, I pick Medium, from there then you can right click and should be able to get the Image URL.

 

Not sure if there is an easier way but that's how i have done it.

 

this is yours...

I'm going to try and upload mine through Picasa, see if that works, as I already have an account there.

The link I get from Google+ shows the picture but not the EXIF info. I have this link here for that, which goes to the folder.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
