Re: Old camera appreciation!

That reminds me of some bottle openers at a shop in Hawaii in 2012. :lol:

Re: Anyone bought a new scanner recently?

In the last few months I have found that the Topaz programs I have (Photo AI, Denoise AI, Sharpen AI, Gigapixel AI) can often do great work with old film scans (print scans too). I start off with letting them automatically choose the settings and then usually adjust from there. Photo AI which basica...

Re: Old camera appreciation!

Packed away in the States I still have my A100 and A700. Also, a bunch of A-mount lenses. Someday when I am back there I may charge the batteries and take them out to take some photos. :)

Re: Turkey trip photos

I am glad that you and your family are well. Are you still in Instanbul? After I posted the message I later saw reports that the earthquake was in the east on the Turkey/Syria border. The first report I saw yesterday did not say that. In 2014 when I was there the furthest east I got was to Konya in ...

Re: Joshua Tree National Park

This forum is the strangest one I have ever seen on the internet. It is normal for there to be more views than posts on all forums, but this forum takes the cake. It is common for threads to have thousands of views and zero posts or just one post. I wish I could see the stats for this forum for one ...

Re: Joshua Tree National Park

Nice panoramas!

By the way, how were you able to upload those photos? The attachments functionality on this site seems to be broken for me. When I click on Add files nothing happens.

Edit: I was using Safari, but I just tried it in Opera and it works.

Re: Tiny sensor revenge gallery thread!

Lately I have been getting videos popping up on youtube of a bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings using old, cheap digicams from 10-20 years ago. 3-4-5-6 megapixels, usually. Can often be bought for $5-25. Of course, they all have smartphones with cameras, but many love having a real, dedicated came...

Re: Joshua Tree National Park

I especially like that last photo.

I have driven through Joshua Tree National Park a couple of times, but both times I was on my way somewhere so did not have a chance to stop, look around, and take photos.

These days Mom pulls out her smartphone to snap a pic of the kiddos. Years ago she carried this in her purse. :lol:
