Steve, what software are you using for this voodoo magic? I use ON1 and it does not do a great job with even basic photo stacking.

It is one of the worst license plates around. It screams our province doesn’t care how we are perceived when we drive out of province.

Yes, that’s correct. I got these mixed up with the Gannets I saw a few days later. Thanks.

Highly recommend the Newfoundland tour. Did it last year and plan to again next year. Great scenery, people and food not to mention the iceberg beer.

After seeing @benstiller.redhour.com β€˜s post about filming some of S2 of Severance in Newfoundland, I went through my photos of my 2024 trip there and decided to post this somewhat S2 E8 Severance ish scene next to the Cape Bonavista lighthouse.

I live in the maritimes (NB) and when that opening scene came on I knew it was in Newfoundland. Visited NL last year and was in Bonavista. Great place to photograph, not to mention every other place we visited.

Hi Oliver, thank you for the links to the scanning articles. I will be checking them out. I look forward to hearing how it goes with your scanning project.

This is something I planned to look into how to do as I have many negatives that belonged to my parents. Where did you find the light board/brand and why macro lens? What is your planned process? Thanks.

It’s not easy these days to find sound equipment. I still have my 80’s stereo system with Bose 301’s. still sounds good but am looking at slowly upgrading some components. Not a lot of variety out there and what is there is pricey.

Bluetooth Speakers Are Ruining Music You have two ears for a reason.

An interesting article from The Atlantic on the decline of music listening quality. Audiophiles out there will know what they are talking about.

The difference between tiny bluetooth speakers and a decent stereo system is profound.
