    This is another screencap from the same assignment. On this day the client wanted a pano showing the camp, and another nearby camp owned by the same owner at the time where there was a lake where the campers would fish. They would hike through the woods from one to the other. Because of the...

    This is actually a screenshot from a video of the return part of a drone flight. The venue is now a Buddhist retreat, but it was an educational camp for Japanese-American children some years back. This past summer I was hired by a group of former campers to shoot footage for a documentary...

    Single pilot commercial jets?

    On the other hand... Maybe part of the reason it's rare is because being a crew member temporarily pulls some lonely, depressed pilots out of their isolation. It's safe to assume that as in most occupations, contact with colleagues may be the most significant human contact some pilots have...

    Single pilot commercial jets?

    The airlines will be wanting to make piloting self-service soon. They'll hand a random passenger a flight bag and a POH and call it a free upgrade. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with single-pilot large airliners. There are too many lives at stake all depending on one person not...

    Artemis on its way to the moon

    It would be funny if we returned to the moon and found the Lunar Rover stripped and sitting on cinder blocks.

    I'm glad for the happy coincidence. It also supports .webp export, which is why I bought it. I was perfectly happy with V1, but I needed .webp. Now I don't have to process every image twice. There are lots of other new features in V2, however. I'm using it right now to make macabre greeting...

    Not a picture, but a heads-up on graphics software. I've been using Version 1 of the Afffinity suite ever since I spit in Adobe's eye and kicked them in the nuts for letting Fireworks die. Going subscription was bad enough, but letting Fireworks die was the unforgivable sin. They just released...

    Which header graphic should we use?

    I'm surprised by that. I'm drawing a blank on what would be different on the CMS end of things. Maybe they're concerned about gd support for image processing. I think it has to be explicitly compiled into PHP < 8.

    Which header graphic should we use?

    Last I checked it was 4 percent. I don't worry about them. They're used to stuff looking strange.

    Shoreline of Big Pond (that's the name of the lake) in Andes, New York. Frost on the trees in the morning in early winter. The Hudson River near Kingston, New York. Ice fishing hut on Big Pond in Andes, New York. This is actually my favorite picture, but it has zero sales to date...

    Letchworth Village, an abandoned residential treatment center in Thiells, New York. This is the Reville Hospital building, where the polio vaccine was first tested on humans and where the cause of PKU was discovered. Rich

    Thanks. I have scads of winter shots. I'll sort through them later and pluck a few. Rich

    Autel EVO 2 Pro 6K these days. I love the drone but have soured a bit on the company. Their long-term support is abysmal For example, they've already had three hardware versions of that drone in the past year, which are not compatible with each others' controllers, and only V3 appears to be...
