Microsoft Paint 3D on Windows 10 can be fun to play on without any knowledge on 3D n stuff. But, your PC must co-operate, as most of these cloud-based apps are notorious for crashing on you. Though, it's the Photos app more than the Paint 3D.
I really love the colors in this image, and attempted a three image stitching, that would give me a wide array of our new "Meriden Green" It's January 1st, and I want to start a new, 365 photos, starting today. I think I'll make this my first entry.

Tot nu toe doet alles het nog... Windows 10 aan de praat gekregen. Wel even een ervaringsdeskundige geraadpleegd.
Dit vond ik een rustgevende achtergrond
Maar tot onze verbanning ging er niets de mist in. Alles draait soepel. Mis alleen de prestatie-index van Windows 7.
Was toch wel spannend, twee computers tegelijk.... maar geen bestanden verloren.
De derde computer heeft een CPU die niet ondersteund wordt, die blijft op win 7 draaien)
Back-up gemaakt kan/kon elk moment terug.

I've been in Meriden for a bout forty years, now. This is kind of sad, to see these residents have to go through this. But hopefully they will be taken care of, and live in another facility.

Hybrid printing system:
A digital negative image appeared on a 6.08" genuine monochrome 2K LCD (no backlight itself, originally used for a 3D printer / no RGB sub-pixels), herein called "virtual negative", was successfully formed on cyanotype (or Van Dyke) photographic paper using an analog photographic enlarger (light source: 395 nm UV SMD). This virtual negative method differs in this respect from previous digital negatives on OHP film (contact printing) and analog negatives as attempted by group: www.flickr.com/groups/cyanotype_wenlarger/).
Image signal is output to the LCD via HDMI from a mini-PC (OS: Windows 10) with a built-in graphics board capable of up to 4K video output.
Due to differences in resolutions between those of image used and those processed in the LCD, the image needs to be rescaled in advance.
That is, in the sub-pixel direction, the LCD treats 3 pixels for each RCB channel as one monochrome pixel, so the original image in the sub-pixel direction must be resized by 3 times the number of pixels beforehand. For example, in the case of a 1620 x 2560 original image (2560 pixels in the sub-pixel direction), while not fixing the original aspect ratio, the 2560 pixels should be resized 3 times to 7680, and the resolution should be 505 (pixel/inch) and then converted to negative.

Taken from Colony St. looking at the new Train Station as it's being built on a very Rainy Day. I used f./9.0, so the fence and the building behind would be in focus. Hand held at 1/50 sec. at ISO 250 did the trick.

I just love these old tanks. I mean could you imagine this car being your daily driver? It seems that there wes so much thought into making every piece of this car, to keep it so, very unique. I worked on this image for more time than I had expected to, but I'm happy with the results. It looks way better on a P.C. that it does on a cellphone.

First class seat, what a view.
Seen at London City Airport, the home of the CityFlyer fleet of Embraer's, ideal for the short runway & steep landing/ take offs required.
As well as the convenience of London City Airport with quicker access to London itself, the airport provides amazing views for departing passengers, you can almost touch the wings from the gates, plus all boarding is done by walkway, there are no airbridges.

At 12:30p.m. I went out to run a couple of errands, and remembered that this car was sitting by, where I happened to be. So, I went over and took a bunch of pictrues of this Pontiac Lemans 1974, in Meriden CT, over on Thorpe Ave.

On January 23, of 2016, we had our first snowstorm of the Winter season. It was 12:30, in the afternoon, and I needed to pick up some prescriptions for my Dad. I was only a couple of miles from home, but the roads were slick, and I didn't see hardly any other traffic, I made it home saftely, due to taking the right route back home. I took the flattest way I could figure, and all was a success.

I always loved these 3rd generation Mustangs. They look like battleships and I can feel the speed and power just by looking at this beautiful design.

I managed to use f./16.0 on this bright, sunny day. I brought my tripod with me to this event, just for that reason. I wanted to see how my lens reacted to being closed at very small aperture numbers. As some of the shots had some very long exposure times that day, up into the 10-15 second range. I found that I liked this method of shooting and thought the lens had a sweet spot around f./ 16 - 22 or so.

1st February 2020:
For the last couple of months Graham and I have been sharing my laptop, which wasn't easy as I'm not good at sharing mine!!
So what did he do (well what did I do for him), but ordered himself a new one from The "A" people.
There's something very wrong here, he has a brand new one (it arrived this morning) and it's Windows 10 with one year free use of Microsoft Office included in the sale offer.
I managed to get it started, with a lot of difficulty and rude words, but at the present time he's using Edge as his browser, as I haven't worked out how to download Firefox, which he'd prefer.
I might get there in the end and then in the long and distant future have a Windows 10 too. I will add that he was overdue for a new one, having been on a 10 year old laptop with Vista!
I blanked out the background as it wasn't pretty!
February Overview – February joined the calendar with January around 700 B.C. It derives its name from the Latin februo, which means “purification rites.”
During the ancient Roman festival Lupercalia, thongs made from goatskin were used in purification rituals, which took place during the month, earning it the name februarius.
When February was first added to the calendar along with January in 700 BC by Numa Pompilius, it became the last month of the year.
Pompilius tacked on these two months to line up with the lunar cycle. However, Romans believed odd numbers to be lucky. Since February ended up being the unlucky one, they placed it at the end and shortened it so the bad luck wouldn’t last long. February remained there for nearly 200 hundred years. Then, both January and February moved to the beginning of the year.
Julius Caesar attempted to align the calendar with the solar season creating the Julian calendar. February, already a short month, gained a few days bringing it to 28. Then every four years, a leap day was added.
Under the current Gregorian calendar, the leap year functions differently. Leap years are divisible by four, with one exception. Centennial years must be divisible by 400.
February is unique in other ways, too. Because it usually has 28 days, once every 6 years, it’s the only month to have 4 full 7 day weeks. In the years that aren’t leap years (otherwise known as common years), February and March start on the same day of the week.
February Culture Overview
The month has some fun events. Everyone loves to talk about Ground Hog Day, Valentine’s Day, and the Super Bowl in February. However, the big news in February is that pitchers and catchers report kicking off spring training for a new baseball season. What’s a truer sign of spring?
Black History Month takes place during February because Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were both born during the month.
One of the earliest flowers to bloom in spring is the primrose. It is also the flower of February.
If you are born in February, you are either an Aquarius or a Pisces. Your birthstone is the pretty purple quartz called amethyst.
Throughout February, we enjoy chowing down on homemade soups, grilled cheese sandwiches, chili, stuffed peppers, and cherry pie. This is especially true in the Northern Hemisphere, where the winters get a little more than brisk. In the Southern Hemisphere, summer is peaking.
Just for fun : It's National Serpent Day.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Pristine condition and one of the very few I've ever seen. Such a beautiful car and engine. It really is a shame that we don't see more of these beauties.

It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon in September of 2014, as I attended South Meriden's First Annual Car Show. On this Sunday, I was lucky enough to have nice weather and bright sunshine, to get some really good images of these Classic Cars. I love shooting car shows, because the owners and spectators are so friendly and are willing to strike up a conversation about the car that they brought to the event. This Mustang looks to be a 71-72 model. Maybe a Mach-1, or Boss, looking at the hood. But I love these old cars cause I've driven so many of them when I was younger and in High School. They were much more fun to drive than any of today's offerings, and had tons of power to them.

This is the tail end of a 1974 Pontiac LeMans that I saw on Thorpe Ave. while driving to do some errands. I'm glad I had my camera with me, cause you don't see classics like these every day. So, I got out of my car, and took a bunch of photos of this old, rusty, car. My '74 Riv was in similar condition, before I got rid of her. I have a soft spot for these early 70s Classics.
