Me, at the landing zone of a property that used Treasure Quest tokens to collect for free Lindens.
There are a variety of groups you can join in Second Life to make money, however, not all games require a group membership and are available to anyone. I think of the games offered as the current version of "camping," where residents used to stay in a designated area or on a chair in location for a period of time before they could earn some Lindens. Sometimes, camping residents might have to perform a service like scrub a floor, etc.
Property owners purchase the items that distribute Linden money in order to attract visitor traffic to their properties or businesses. The number of visitors is then used to rank these properties in terms of popularity when people use keywords to search for places in Second Life that match keywords in the description of the location.
For me, collecting money through these games helps provide me with an income that I can use in turn to not only buy goods and supplies for myself, but also to use for tipping entertainers and businesses...spreading around the wealth, as they say. Second Life definitely has a diverse economy to support!
Ladies and gentlemen,
I need your help to get a question answered about scanning old analogue slide film.
I still have a suitcase full of slides. The ones I'd like to keep are from about 1986-1988 onwards, so they are at the most 28 years old. They have long been stored in a bedroom cupboard, but seem in reasonable shape for their age.
Still, I would like to see them scanned. My main purpose is to preserve the images I made in places like China, Indonesia, Mali and Cote d'Ivoire. I do not think they have great artistic or historical value, but I want to be able to look at them when I am old myself. For a start, I want to collect them in a few Blurb books. I may like some pictures enough to have them enlarged and hang them on the wall.
Obviously, drumscans would be best, but I would not know if that still makes sense given the current quality of the slides. It is also prohibitively expensive for the volume that I have. I may want to do this for the few images that I especially like and may want to enlarge at a later stage. For the mass of slides I need to find a cheaper solution.
So I found a local gentleman who scans negatives and slides professionally. This was one of the scans he made to check the quality. It was made with a Minolta 5400, but he also has a Braun PS5000 scanner, which should lead to an equivalent quality.
What would you advise me to do? Would you consider having this quality of a scanner given the purpose that I have with these pictures? What do you think of the scan quality? Are there much better machines that are cheaper than drumscans (this gentleman also had various Nikon scanners, but he had technical problems with all of them).
I was told that this would lead to scans that could be printed to a format of A4 format (21 * 29.7 cm or 8.3 * 11.7 inch). When I view this on my computer screen, I think the grain allows a larger format, although sometimes the dynamic range may be a bit low. This photo may not be the best example, since the three people seem not completely sharp, in contrast to the flags and billboard.
All your remarks and comments count. Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, I do collect stamps. And I have stamps from all over the world, from France, Germany, Romania, Greece, Russia, China, Japan, Holland, Austria, Poland, Canada, USA, and who knows what else...
This could have turned out better, but I'm quite happy with it really.

This is an adult pika "making hay while the sun shines," consuming vegetation but also collecting large amounts of grasses, leaves and flowers to dry cache within its den among the boulders to consume over the coming winter. It's unusual to see them with a mouthful of already desiccated material at this time of year, usually they go for the more nutritious green stuff, but I guess they gather everything they can while they can before winter, which comes early, and stays late, up here.
Pikas, the smallest members of the rabbit family in North America, are a bellwether species in that they cannot survive in temperatures consistently above 78°F, which is one reason they are found only at high elevations. As average summertime highs rise throughout the globe, many pika colonies have disappeared when they cannot migrate to higher, cooler locations.
They are, fortunately, still thriving in the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness. The colony I find easiest to photograph is near the 10,947 feet summit of the Beartooth Pass on US highway 212.

Collecting Echoes
Glass works its reflective magic as it collects and series of shapes and bends them anew. They gather, forming a pattern of delight. Metal pathways are and sweep through the frame - roadways of sorts for my eye to follow. A touch of warmth and a hint of cool add a feeling of life - a type of motion perhaps - to this abstract study of space. Spatial relationships are intentionally absent. This isn't about seeing something specific. It's about feeling it.

In the wine cave at the Gibbston Valley Winery
We toured the Gibbston Valley vineyards on a frosty morning, tasted award winning wines in the underground wine cave and savored cheeses at the on-site cheesery. Gibbston Valley Winery is an award winning winery (produces world-champion wine), centered in one of the world's most celebrated Pinot Noir producing regions.

Two lover than can never be together catch a longing glance from the other in this sleepy old west town.
This is the sixth of my collectible minifigure scenes, and the first to combine two figures. They just went together so well. Inspirational credit for the buildings goes to Legohaulic.
Enjoy!

Again, as the sunshine was too beautiful to ignore we carried lots of empty jars down to a near photo spot - and we're quite pleased with the results! We'll be uploading more in the next few days :)

A consumerist society drives the economy and growth but at a cost... do we lose connection with our true selves and our relationship with others? This shot is taking a peek at that consumer society and our changing world of interaction. In challenging lighting conditions I never worry about blown-out highlights as long as my main subject is well exposed, one of the compromises of shooting a rapidly changing situation in unpredictable light.
