I had tried Bay photo but did not like their price for shipping.

I tried Amazon and Nations with the same JPG as a test. I asked for 8x10 with no correction, etc. I used my calibrated BenQ Monitor but no printer profile.

The Amazon print was easily the worst I've ever seen and totally bad. Cheap and fast but no good. Bad colors, way too light, etc.

The Nations print was much more reasonably priced for shipping and about the same as the others for the print. The packaging was excellent. The Fuji Pearl paper is my favorite. The print was excellent. FWIW, I will use them again.

Just because someone might ask: The picture was a "grab" shot with the rented 𝜶6700 using animal eye focus setting. The lens was the Sony FE 70-200 G (F4)

Your "grab" shot looks very good. I used Nations Labs for some enlarged prints a couple years ago and was impressed with their prices, turn around time and quality. I have recommended them to others several times.

That car could really benefit by consulting a "vehicular oncologist."

Dennis was such a treat. He could always embarrass his parents. I once read that Hank Ketchum based the comic on his son, Dennis, after his wife commented, "Your son is a menace."

Interesting, folks here will spend thousands on photo equipment but will not spend only $10.00 a month for a complete Photoshop set up that will improve there shots a thousand percent.


Yeah, it is so much more logical to pay $120 a year for something with hundreds more actions and processes than are needed rather than a free, simple and easy program that does what the amateur wants and needs to get the photos he/she wants with the lower cost older DSLR they have owned for the past decade.

This is probably the wrong section, but here goes.

It seems that Kensington Palace released a doctored image of Kate and her kids for English Mother's Day. It was sent to major newspapers to show how Kate was doing after her surgery. The newspapers pulled the picture after they became suspicious that the picture was manipulated. Take a look and see what you think.

One article - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/photo-agencies-kate-picture-editing-scandal-b2511726.html

Personally I think they are trying to make a mountain from a mole hill. Kate has admitted she did some adjustments to the photo and that she is an amateur photographer. Therefore, it seems the photo would not be perfect.

Reminds e of the elderly couple who had been married for many years. They had four sons. The youngest had a noticeably different physical appearance. The husband having been aware of the difference for several years, asked, "Tell me truthfully, who is the father of our youngest son?"

The wife with only slight hesitation said, "You are!"

Detention? This didn't happen in the 50's.


The comments were different but the detention was there. Come to think about it, is detention still an option?

I remember the AMT, AMF and Revelle car kits back in the 60s. I had a bunch of them back then, no idea where any of them are now. They were a good pastime and fun to build, paint and/or customize. I even remember adding some body putty to some the alter the lines some. Great memories.

I did not realize the Princess of Wales was an amateur photographer who post processed her photos.

Looks like the temperature for the cooking is a bit too high. Maybe turn down the heat and try again?

Then I have a little over three years to go. I turn 77 in April. I hope I can make it and if so then hope it is worth the wait.

Many years ago I worked for a California insurance company and went to the Texas Department of Insurance to register a new insurance company to be headquartered in Texas. We had all the paperwork, signed, notarized, and all the corporate officers. The corporate officers were on hand if needed for any additional verification.

The TDI official reviewed all the paperwork - once - twice, sighed and said these are all originals. I need 'Original Copies.' So we all went down to Kinkos or whatever and made original copies of each original document.

Took everything back to TDI, the official looked at the originals, compared them to the original copies. They all looked the same. Then he was happy.

What is an original copy? There is the original and there is a copy but the copy is not an original and the original is not a copy. Is the original copy the first copy made of the original? What about the second copy? If the first copy is lost or damaged would the second copy be acceptable as the original copy? I'm confused.
