Often (usually?) the ball was wrapped with electrical tape because the cover had broken loose

How about "Charlotte Russe", a sponge cake in a cup with whip cream and a cherry. Or a fountain made Egg Cream? Or are these only NY items?
Please don't ask for how they were made as I don't recall, though I did make a few while "Jerking" in about '54-55.
In New Jersey

I remember ice cream in Dixie cups. The lids had pictures of movie stars on the inside covered with a bit of waxed paper.
Staying with ice cream for a moment, "push ups"?

Believe it or not, on a hot summer day, we would gather pieces of tar from the streets - melted due to the hot sun - and chew it. NOBODY DIED OR EVEN GOT SICK!

LOL Been there!
Or just walking the roads and stepping on the tar bubbles, They would break with a satisfying "POP"! (Be sure to walk in the dirt before going home)

Well I guess I qualify for the older than dirt crowd as I can remember all of those and more. Floor starter switch on the old truck and hand cranking the tractor come to mind in addition to all the others mentioned. How about a ringer washer? No TV of course but we had something better, "the theater of the mind". Listening to radio shows, The Lone Ranger, The FBI (in peace and war), Superman,Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B riders, Sky King. The list goes on a long ways. How about learning how to use an ink pen?

Took a different route here... processed the image as a B&W then copied the layer....added a green tonal Overlay then erased the petals / background back to the B&W layer...
I like that! It catches my eye with its simplicity

Other than a couple of blown lower clouds 1939, I get a really crisp feel from this style of image you seemed to have mastered.
Thank you Frank. I had to let those clouds go where they wanted as too much of the foreground would have been 'muddied' by any further reduction of exposure. That would have killed any attempt at creating a sense of depth. I suppose if I wanted to do a print from this file that I would do a bit of cloning in the clouds. :-o

Here in Pike County PA for the last, seems like forever, weeks the weather has been plumb UGLY. I was having photography withdrawal problems! Yesterday that changed and although it was cold and windy , it was also clear and bright.
One of the views I saw was clearly just right for a black and white attempt. This shot was given about a 15% cyan tint.
Originally I looked at split toning this but the dark sky picked up the sepia that I was going to use for the dark areas and just looked wrong.
Edit, I revisited this image and tried reversing my original split toning idea and instead used the cooler tint for the shadows and the warmer one for the hi-lights. I think that worked.

I have a D600 that I set up for BBF. When using it on a tripod with a remote, I always set the focus using the BB before I step away from the camera. If you want to feel secure about the focus, set it then switch the camera or lens to manual focus. Alternately, just use manual focus.

It is never a bad plan to step away and give our senses a rest.:)
Also, it was interesting to copy the download into Photoshop as the colors on the web page are shifted as compared to how they show up in PS. ( I do that quite often BTW)

Just like Dave's first thought, I too saw the Hudson River school.
Beyond that, I wish I could claim to have taken that image.

If you look at the video closely, the antelope searched up and done the fenceline and chose the spot where the top lines of barbed wire were missing to enter the enclosure.
Two things
He did jump.
Normally they will go under a fence rather than expend the energy it takes to jump but,I have chased them with a pick up and when they didn't want to play anymore they would jump.

Nice shot. Elk can, Pronghorn antelope are the species you were thinking about that can't. :thumbup: :thumbup: Different muscle-skeletal configuration.
That is an old MYTH. They can and will jump fences.
