Just stumbled in to this thread again during my lunch break. It made me want to post some more pictures. Most of my pictures are at home so i'll post some that are on my PC at work. :blink:

Some were framed and given a title.

Ever tried to make a screw twist on its tip and then make a photograph of it while its spinning? :wacko:

One thing we eat here in belgium are mussles. Sometimes you find little crabs between them. Seeing this one killed my appetite. It was still defending it's eggs while being boiled :s

mmm.jpg

The next shot was taken at night. This poor guy just froze when he walked in front of our flashlight.

Added a little title... might have been a prince :p

This shot was actually taken just before nightfall of the previous shot. It was taken last year when the days get shorter. The sky get's magnificent colors for just a few minutes

The following 2 shots were taken at an abandoned mine. Nature was taking over.

Finally a shot of my ugly head taken in the showers of the abandoned coal mine. This was the only mirror that was still intact. Maybe it broke under the strain of my reflection :blink:

Maybe you can enjoy these shots a bit. Cheerz

Thanks!

I like them alot! Especially the spinning screw and the pipe in the

abandoned mine (I love the colors on that one, and the contrast

between the red rusty left side of the pipe and the right side where

it's green and growing).

The evening sky is pretty too, but I think I'm spoiled on that front,

cause the sky looks like that almost every night (ok, exaggerating

a little bit, but it looks like that very often. if the weather is clear,

that is) where I grew up. :)

The crab-picture has some lovely colors, but it really made me

lose my appetite too. The poor thing is looking at me! ;)

...outside The Old Manse

This landmark was built 1770 by Reverend William Emerson, preacher and patriot. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote his essay Nature (1836) here, laying the groundwork for Transcendentalism.

Nathaniel Hawthrone lived here with his bride, Sophia Peabody (1842-46), and wrote his collection of short stories, Mosses from an Old Manse (1846).

i'd recommend a lowepro tlz 1 or mini.

also, the lens adapter plus UV filter will help protect it. my sister messed my original g3 (i had it replaced, luckily), but you see this all the time at dpreview, where someone drops the camera with the lens extended.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By deadonthefloor · Posted

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
