The Northern lights we see are typically on the horizon and not as dramatic as many of the photos I see from others, which can be overhead at times. I only have seen the NL overhead once. And that ...

Really dramatic. But kind of dark. If it were mine, I would try experimenting with luminescent masks to see if you could expose the dark clouds some without losing the dramatic effect.

I have a 55 inch plasma TV (shows how long this has been in existence), with a WD Roku like box hooked up to the TV. I have 21,000 photos that I have taken from 2000-today on a thumb nail drive...

I love the clarity of the middle one of the reflection.

Nice images. Very pretty birds.

Nice capture on the Kingfisher. Seems like every time I try and take a picture of one, they start to chitter and fly off before I can get a pic.

They wander through the yard twice a day. Early in the morning and just before sunset. This one is most likely a yearling as it is pretty small. Our cat was watching this deer make its way through ...

Found a couple pics from the trip to/from Idyllwild.

Wow, those are some great calendars. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the state fair in Minn is supposedly one of the best in the U.S.  The people watching is outstanding, always new foods to try, good bands to listen to and countless exhibits to view.  I think ...

Nice pictures by everybody for their calendars. I have been putting together calendars for the family and friends for about 15 years. I have been using Shutterfly. I think the quality of the paper ...

Thanks for the link, I will try  there.

I would look at taking a day to do the circular drive to Idyllwild. Lots of turnouts and lookouts to pull the car off the road and have some scenic views on either road to Idyllwild. Curvy road ...

I will give it a go. But I think I have already tried that as well. But I would already have to be in the  app when I do the CMD 'F' to do the find/search. And the scrolling happens when I try to ...

Yes, I have used the a couple of mouses.  And I see the highlighted data that I was searching for before the app scrolls back/forward when I click on the highlighted row.

This is kind of hard to explain. I have a MacBook for travel and a MacPro that I mostly use for photoshop. There is an irritating behavior that I experience on the MacPro that does not happen on ...

Placed 9^th in the challenge. Week long celebration in Minneapolis has these firework launched from the Central Ave Bridge over the Mississippi River

Really nice pic. Sharp details, which can be tricky in a plane. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I love taking photos out of the plane window.  It is not always easy knowing what your are capturing. Flights to and from San Diego can take you anywhere from Salton Sea, Grand Canyon, Utah ...

Would love to see the Lake Mead Hoover dam photo
