It's tuned too well, blaz. I wanted to see fire... LOL...

That does sound tough.... nice little vid, man.

I'm also planning on doing some serious work on mine within the next month or two. But it's fricken' 15F (-9.5C) outside atm, so I'm just gonna get a good pile of new parts going...

just standard on-auto pics there classic, but it was getting dark so i guess the camera compensated a bit,, then a bit of light and saturation, or blur in Picasa3, and finally framed and stored in photobucket.


i don't like photoshop, or more to the point i find it difficult to be subtle in.

been photographing for many years,and done wedding videos and pics in the 80's,
i'm just feeling my way at the moment with this digital milarkey, and i'm not in the business any more to go "way-up-there" with cameras worth thousands.

Wow, Ken!!
Those pics are great. I really like the last one a lot. Real crisp, and I've always liked that kind-of "industrial" looking black and white. (don't mind if I use it for a desktop background for a little while, do ya? )
They're all incredible, though. I like the lighthouse series, too.
Nice job!
