My neighbor had knee surgery but did not seem to do the therapy and exercises. A year later he still is limping because he did not do the therapy. My brother had both of his hips done (a month or...

I am fairly ignorant on taking videos. One of my hobbies is O scale trains and it too is (or can be ) an expensive hobby. I am planning a layout and like to make the layout as interesting as the...

Excellent photos Gramps. The do look sharply focused to my eye especially number 4. Are you using a tripod? All my macro shots are of stationery objects and I still use a tripod more for...

I found these two items (Christmas ornaments) the other day and thought I would give them a try.

Great photos Gramps. Never would have known those were "first attempts."

Nice work Pitter!

Thanks Stef. Enjoying your snow flakes and icey shots. I will have to try that here in Ohio as long as I can myself to brace for the cold.

I did photos of two items yesterday. One is a pencil sharpener ( the globe) and the other is a slinky. (a slinky is a toy for those who may wonder).

I am always amazed by the intricacy of the gears in a watch.

I love the Jeep and the dark blue color! Way to go Gramps! The Wrangler and Liberty versions are made in my home town (Toledo, OH)

Pitter,

What I have noticed about many of your photos is the range or variety of colors captured. Is that something you look for or is part of the culture or both??

Gramps,

That is pretty darn close up of the bee. I have never had the patience to shoot live insects. I though maybe I would try if I could find a dead one so as to take my time.

Interesting photo of the ancient (Egyptian?) money. How old would the coin be?

I know there is a precise definition to "macro" photography but in a more general way, I am saying "close up" photography is ok for this challenge. So......for those who wish to engage in the...

Technology is always changing. No surprise there. I have always found color calibration difficult and tedious. Frankly, most of the time I hope for the best. There may be more collaboration...

Some may recall one of my other hobbies is model trains (O Scale and HO scale). In searching for various youtube videos on wiring and making scenery, I came across this video which I thought was...

After the pricey Sony A9 came out I wondered what would happen with the Sony A7 series. I think the Sony A7R III turned out to be a great alternative to the A9 and given the upgrades and price...

I must whole heartily agree that Jay historically is the overall highest (volume) contributor and the best technical knowledge. He is #1 for sure. However, there are so many categories on the site...

On a contrarian side, people always come and go. When the site was first launched I doubt there were many people and then it picked up one by one and grew into a decent size site. Then the there...

That is one great looking cycle Gramps. I have never been on a motor cycle which may make me a wimp of sorts. I had too many bad spill on my Schwinn bike. But to give the bike a boost I and most...

I could not resist trying to do some close up views of my new toy acquisitions (Steam engine and ferris wheel):

I just started a new hobby of sorts or maybe it is just a new toy. Anyway...just received a steam engine (stirling engine) which operates on hot air that pushes the pistons.

Below is a photo of...

I like all photos of the ocean and I look forward to the day when I can have some time to stroll along a some beaches on the east coast of the USA (various states). Your photos make pine for that...

It must be about 18 years ago or so that I had the itch to try doing stained glass. The class was geared around making one project. Great artists never seem to have to explain their art as to what...

Nice work on the bees. My allergies have reminded me it is pollen time so with that the bees must be around too.
