Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
General BS forumI guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.
Connie and I finally did something that was what I think retired people do. We took a month long "vacation" on Sanibel Island. It's something we have been talking about for years to do, so it seemed like it was about time that we just went ahead and did it.
I set up my Panasonic TM350 and the GoPro Hero4 Black the first evening we were on Sanibel Island and took side by side time lapse video during the sun set. This gave me a good opportunity to compare the quality of both of these cameras. Quite honestly, I'm considering getting rid of the Panasonics I have, and the GoPro is pretty impressive.
The Panasonic was doing time lapse at 1 frame every 1 second, and I believe I had the GoPro set for 1 frame every 5 seconds. After seeing the lightning flashes in the GoPro footage, I wish now I had also done that one at the 1 frame per second setting as well.
This is going to be the first of MANY videos I took, since the beach house we stayed in had a "widow's walk" on the roof that I would set up my camcorders on just about every day we were there.
