    A PBX Hike, The Warren Grove Wildfire 6 Months Later

    Wow, looks like you guys had a great day. It reminds me so much of the Westhampton Pine plains here on Long Island, I see lots of stunted pitch pines. Thanks so much for the great photos! How did you guys do with the ticks and chiggers?

    Dead deer in the Mullica

    Lets hope for some cold weather, though it doesn't look like it's getting here anytime soon. Just another possible side effect of a warmer climate. I will be on the lookout, even here on Long Island. Thank God it is not infectous for humans.

    Where's fall? Blocking bermuda high at it again!

    What's going on now aint that unusual, I'm talking about Thursday through Sunday, highs in the mid 80s and no rain in sight. That is crazy for this time of year. There has been a tremendous lack of rainfall, and some trees are dropping their leaves without even changing colors. Also the pines...

    Where's fall? Blocking bermuda high at it again!

    A Weather Channel meteorologist has found that it isn't our imagination, ridges of high pressure are indeed becoming more frequent and persistant. http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_13685.html Crisp fall air...not a chance, the bermuda high stays put right through the next 10 days. Check out...

    Discovery survival shows

    Yeah and not to mention Bear is a show-off who lies. That badger he ate, wasn't a badger but a steak in a badger skin! I wonder if he really ate those grubs, or maybe they were chocolate creme grubs...:mrgreen:

    Google Bearwiki and find even more fake stuff. Man Vs. Wild... what a fraud.

    Discovery survival shows

    The Discovery channel forums (http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/2161971848). Also on the show itself they edited. When the Scotland episode 1st aired, they shows Bear caught a rabbit in a snare, however, the episode was edited and he then says that the rabbit was brought there to...

    Discovery survival shows

    The new "edited" versions of Man Vs. Wild show what I suspected, he doesn't actually sleep in the wild, and even some of the food is "set up", ie the rabbit was put there and not actually caught in the snare. I still like the show, it is some interesting entertainment, but not a story. Bear...

    Comcast upgrading webspace

    Yeah that's a good deal. The main improvement we have had with Cablevision recently is Music Choice making long overdue changes to the channel line-up. The formats sound great now.:dance: We still don't have Music Choice On Demand which Comcast does. If we had Comcast or TW I prob wouldn't even...

    Who owns your photo's?

    Don't they usually require 10+MP for stock photography as well as DSLR's? I really don't know why, I don't see much more of an improvement going over 5MP. I'd love to get into stock photography, but I think it's pretty expensive. I could be wrong...

    Ice Road Truckers

    Yeah everything is hyped on TV lately, even Discovery is doing it alot. I am glad they finally got rid of that horrible show "American Chopper". Who wants to see a bunch of men yell at eachother? They also have too many repeats, it seems new episodes of Mythbusters are few and far between...

    Comcast upgrading webspace

    Comcast, Time Warner,etc all blow away my cable provider. Cablevision doesn't give us any webspace with their internet, it costs extra. Their Optimum Online is a joke, I get DL speeds of 1-2mbps and UL is half that. And many web sites are blocked, since their DNS has problems resolving...

    Who owns your photo's?

    Corporations have run amok and seem to be get away with breaking laws left and right. It's part of the reason I never upload full resolution photos, usually scale them down significantly. If it's "OK" for Virgin Mobile Australia to use this girl's picture, then it should also be OK to download...

    Just be glad you're in New Jersey!

    I do have a state ID which is my prepaid bus/rail pass, it has my photo on it. I also have a county photo ID. So it's not like I travel without identification.

    Just be glad you're in New Jersey!

    http://www.nysun.com/article/63115?page_no=1 I don't drive and don't even have a non-driver ID, they make it very hard for me, a US citizen to get one. Here in NY you need a photo ID, social security card, mail with your name and address on it, bank statements and a birth certificate. It...

    Meteor strikes in the Pines?

    The meteor was probably giving off noxious gases. There probably have been meteor impacts in the pines in the past, but the sandy soil and forest filling in could obscure any craters.

    You could also shoot in RAW mode. That lets you process the image data on your PC.

    On The Steps of the Atsion Mansion

    Yeah I use one too, it does help blue the sky, but with any digital camera you have to worry about overexposure. If the sun goes under a cloud the photo will be messed up, so you have to make sure things are sunlit. Expose for the sky, which means you will have to reduce the exposure...
