other dog Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Took a few so far, mostly playing with the new picture taking device.Saw this aminal in a tree before I left.Saw this creature on the side of a boxcar in Dillwyn.Saw these goats. I never changed any settings on the camera but they looked different, the sun was already down.Then I took a picture of the sky because that one cloud looked like a dog's head.Saw some machines too-orange ones and yellow ones.Nice nut covers,eh?I saw a car......and a girl in a car.Saw some apples too.Leaves are already turning.Still liking that zoom!That house and those transformers are way over there.The sign on the fence.Mountain in Lynchburg. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's amazing what one can do with a point-n-shoot these days. The close-ups look great and I can't even see the house and tranformers in the wide shot. The goats look great, too. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32740-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-205493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Gotta look at it another way Vinny, it may not be your style but that forklift looked pretty clean and the operator was trying to make it better. 2 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32740-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-205610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post other dog Posted September 14, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2013 Keepem comin Tom!arrrrright then, part two-I picked this load up at B & W Thursday...or maybe it's BWX Technologies, or something like that now. Anyway, they're the nuclear people. Very high security place, they have armed guards all over, machine gun towers, razor wire, the whole deal. They search the truck inside and out before you go in, no cameras, cell phones, cb mike, tv, tobacco products, drugs, alcohol, or weapons are allowed, so I put all that stuff in a sack and left it outside before I went in the facility. I asked them about the old steak knife I put in the truck to slice some tomatoes I brought from home to put on sammiches. They said "oh, that's fine, you can keep that." I put it in the bag anyway, but I still don't understand why it's ok to have a steak knife, but no cd's or dvd's are allowed in. Maybe they thought I was a ninja, and a cd would be deadly in my hands.This is what I picked up. Went to a scrapyard in McKeesport, Pa. I thought it was stainless steel, which it is really, but it's something called "Inconel alloy 690". ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconel) The guy that loaded it said what I had on was worth about a quarter of a million dollars. I asked about it at McKeesport and they said it had a very high nickel content.The steak knife...Saw some big Mack trucks...this one ain't looking so good...Cabover KW wrecker in Blue Ridge, Va.I was sitting in Flatwoods, W.V. and saw this load of wood going to the particle board place.And this red Mack truck.Picked up 5 coils in Pittsburgh, going back to Lynchburg.A hayes grizzly on a Kenworth out of Canada.Took a lot of random road shots-headed up to that little dot on top of the mountain.and there it is....more road shots-and then...on the way home I saw this girl sitting in a chair by the road in Winfall. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I was sitting in Flatwoods, W.V. and saw this load of wood going to the particle board place.That retaining wall across the street was my lunchtime view from 2:10 to 2:50 this morning. I parked against the jersey barrier that seperates the truck stop from the other store.Been through Gormania. Just beyond that next telephone pole is a little convenience store with a real deli section and room for a big truck or two.

I usually stop at the store on top of the mountain at the corner of rt. 42 and 93 where you turn to go to the power plant, where everything is outrageously over priced.

other dog Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 I took a nap for about 4 hrs. at Flatwoods, took this night shot when I got up. Found the camera has a "night landscape" setting. I never did actually read the instructions, maybe I should do that sometime. I'm pretty well pleased with it so far though. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Nice pics. New camera takes very nice quality images.Thanks Ken, I think overall it's pretty good, I still take some bad pictures though. What I was looking for was a true "point and shoot" because I want to be able to grab it quickly and take decent "drive-by" pictures without having time to adjust any settings on the camera, and so far I think it's doing a pretty good job with that. And that 14X zoom is just like icing on the cake, when i'm stopped that is. Doesn't work too good when i'm running 95-100 mph. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
