Re: OT I gave up

Dave, my wife’s iPad mini is on 12.1.4 Not sure the mini version but I gave it to her 12-25-2014 so four years old. She virtually never connects the mini to her computer, only when I nag her that she should do a backup before we travel. Her update notifications come via Notifications, they are

Re: Back with a GESO (8) - Herculaneum

A nice tour. I particularly like the classic (Classic) statue, next to last image. But I don’t much care for the framing of that shot, wish you had shifted your view slightly further left and also not cut off the bottom. I assume you were limited by space and available lens selection... Stan

Re: WTF??? The Mystery of Life

Beautiful views of the eclipse in progress! Bright clear skies! I’ve ventured outside a few times to check it out. But with temps at -5F right now, I’m not about to be messing with camera and tripod... I will enjoy someone else’s shots... Stan Sent from my iPad > On Jan 20, 2019, at 11:23 PM,

Re: December PUG Countdown

So, in one of those ironies of life, I am in the Atlantic, about 60 miles from Casablanca, surrounded by water, with many Water images safely ensconced on my memory cards. And no editor on my iPad to process and resize one of the images for PUG submission. Next trip I will try to plan ahead.
