Raleigh Skyline

Java55 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:40:17 -0500

Thanks! I was fortunate to be there at sunset when an Amtrak passenger train was leaving Raleigh as this train really added something to the photo! The vast majority of times I have been here at or about sunset there was not a running train to be found upon the tracks and any photos I made looked relatively dull. This time I shot a whole sequence as the train rounded the curve and passed under the bridge, but in the photos I noticed as the train got closer it became the subject instead of the Raleigh skyline, so while sorting through my pictures I chose a photo where the train was at just the right distance that the two complimented each other. Trust me, this choosing was not an easy task!

Very cool Java! I'm going to

I have also noticed that the rules keep changing for successful transmissions to Share. I almost feel like a ham radio operator relying upon ionospheric skip for transmissions to go around the curvature of the earth - its never the same from day to day, or hour to hour, or even minute to minute! ...but if recorded and charted over a long enough period of time a ham radio operator *might* notice a subtle 27-day cycle that correlates quite well to the rotation of the sun and solar wind activity interacting with the earth's ionosphere to create ideal conditions for the skip needed for a successful 'around the curvature of the earth' transmission.

Right-mouse clicking to open pages into new windows helps sometimes too and once you find a page that you're actually logged in dont close that window. Also if you do get a successful photo upload, hitting the 'back' button on your browser after the photo has uploaded can often get you back to the upload page again for another upload. Hope this helps!

By the way, great fireworks picture!

tricks for glitches

mcaroline — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:36:08 -0500

I will have to try that one.I do remember reading Java'a explanation but hadn't tried it. I'll give it a go right now and see what ensues!!! Watch this space:) And thanks for the hot tip :)

Are you trying Java's trick

Art_Wannabe — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:29:44 -0500

Are you trying Java's trick of clicking on a thumbnail of one of your own shots? It's worked for me lately as a way to get the site to recognize that I'm signed in. Also, some work on the site seems to have been done. Some buttons on my profile page that used to be mis-aligned (and therefore all bu invisible) seem to have been fixed.

Random Idea

Java55 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:14:41 -0500

Being that the holidays are fast approaching this would be a perfect location for Santa to team up with Toys"R"Us for a real toy drive !:o)--

...and only moments away there would be an outdoor ice rink set up too.

i am looking forward to attend this seminar..i think attending it will be of great help to improve my business strategies.

Lucky shot!

Java55 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:55:38 -0400

Thanks! I think it was actually more of a lucky shot too as I immediately thought after I snapped this photo and with only 2 more available spaces for images left on my card.

Full Size Photo

Noticing the woman in front of me is the only one in the whole crowd with her arms going up at the grand finale, I could not have asked a person to pose like this at just the right time and in exactly the right place too even if I tried a million times! This one is definitely one of my faves! In fact its even got signs of noise in the original too :o)

By the way, I do like having these tags below the photos here as they are great for grouping related content and images too.

Exciting shot!

Thanks! I had a huge variety, a rainbow might I say, to choose from as these sculpture towers were lit up in so many different colours (sometimes in many colours at once) throughout the event that after a bit of indecision I finally just picked red. Oh, and I cannot say enough good things about having a monopod to mount my camera on for photographing night time events such as this night time photo at Raleigh Wide Open 4 as they are so extremely mobile and work just as good as a tripod too!

By the way, about getting around some of the ongoing login hoops here - Aaaargh! - they keep changing!!!
