HI Moon. Around here they fly over your house in an airplane and ask you for big bucks. I can see my house from space via google who needs a photo:) [/quote] Old James |

Looks like everyone's getting great weather except me! ;P Don't feel so alone in that, Luke. San Francisco had a brief downpour on Monday, lasting about 2 hours, and dumped up to 2 inches (5cm) of rain. That caused flooding all over the area. |

I have never had anyone try to sell me a photo of my own house. Sounds like a really stupid job to me. |

This is what made photogs like Ansel Adams so famous. Moon has a beautiful house in a vista setting so maybe this photog got a great pic of it in just the right light? |

hehe - with my skills I can upgrade to windows 107 settings if you like - you just have to wait for Windows to upgrade.. ;-)) - mmmhh.. well, acutally - I would prefer to use on of my own photos of the house if i should hang any on the wall... ;-p It was really nothing special with that photo, other than it was taken from the air.. What was nice in that photo was the house -lol, and honestly..a house is nicer seen from the ground.. ;-D Well.. here they seem to do it quite often - Its not the first time we get visit of these kind of people - They do it with some years between.. and dont ask me why - because noone buy such a thing more than once at least.. i think..? pP If any of my sons had moved out, and would like a photo of the house on the wall, I would as i said, use one of my own photos of it - and then better use some money to buy them something esle they needed.. ;-)) |

Uli: Did you forget something or are you using disappearing ink? Nick: I know, I worked as a professional photographer for years. I even studied at Brooks for a while. However, Moon's own skills with a camera are significant. I would put here pictures against a pro's anyday. |

ehhrmm..? ;-)) Is this the "be-good-to-moon-day" ? hehe - Well..thank you guys.. Im glad to hear it ;-) Though I doubt very much it can be compared to any pro`s - I have not the experience, nor the camera to call myself anything else but a coconut ;-) Still.. If its to see things through My eyes, noone else can take my photos for sure - We all get them different - Thats a strange thing with photographing, and why its so interesting - Even if people take photos of the same objects.. Just because all this talk about photos, I thought to post photos i had uploaded earlier, but didnt post - If these are any good, I dont know - but again its not because of the quality, but to show an impression of a moment.. And that with a very normal camera ;-) The first one was one of the photos I took in June - middle of the night - Properties says; date; 26.06.09 - Time 02.19 am. The trick is that I had to hold it in my hands - out from a window in my house to get the right height - and because of the very limited light, it has a exposure time of 2,5 seconds. ;p But it came out to show the situation very well.. ;-) The next photos where taken the 20. of September 09 - between 13.20 and 13.40 pm. - exp.time only 1/640 sec. Thats a big difference from the first.. Gulp. hehe - As this day had such a very special light, I had to take a walk and - remember I went rigth onto this amazing rainbow? ;-) First photo; 2nd; |

When I was on holiday I took some photos too - but I have not had time to go through it all yet - And; One day - when I should take photos - It just didnt work. All photos came out with colour stripes on - and it looks like its totally ruined. I have no idea what may have caused it - But I dont have a camera atm. ;-) Well.. thats the end of it. LoL |

Hi Moon. Any thing less then 250th of a second I have to use a tripod or waste film or disc memory. I do digital now but im still in the habit of taking multiople shots of the same scene. Just to make sure of course:) [/quote] Old James |
