Thanks, guys. Angad, you speak Texan!
Been a while since I submitted any photos. I don't so much take pretty pictures as I take pictures of pretty things. Afraid that when it comes to...
Like that one, Neo-nimajus!
Texas spring... First is a shot at Hamilton Pool, maybe 40 km west of Austin, Texas, USA, looking along the edge of a collapsed limestone hollow...

Budget: Don't have money to burn, but I expect to use this computer for 6 to 8 years, although it will likely be demoted to e-mail/browsing after...

I'll upload a photo of the interior of the case later, if it appears necessary. Remember, though, that this computer died after more than a year...
My everyday computer died recently overnight. I'd left it on, and it had to be restarted. When I did restart it, it behaved normally, but died...

It was not that the first picture in this thread was good. It was that further compression made it worse, as in the second shot. The graininess in...
Guys! I guess I implied that the first photo here, having been blown up to a faretheewell, and maybe compressed some more (I don't remember...
At least, it wasn't noise as we usually mean it. I posted some flower close-ups to Shot of the Day some months ago, and folks saw bad...
