Very cool. To me it seems odd that it is so brightly lit, but it is odd in a good way. Mark On 4/11/2013 11:32 PM, David Parsons wrote: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alohadave/8641958744/ I went out exploring a local factory that has abandoned for a while. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Re: PESO - Knuckle Duster

That makes more sense. I'm thinking, "But I thought backgrounds are ~supposed~ to be fuzzy!" ;-) I wish the background were less fuzzy, too. Of the six frames I took this was the cleanest. Thanks for looking and commenting, and thanks to the others for commenting and to everyone who looked.

RE: PESO - Dad, the Philco and a Swivel Chair - 1959

Looks just like my dad did back then! Mind you I think everyone's dad looked just like that in 1959. ;-) Great pic, quite the momento. Too bad you couldn't keep a bit of that armchair in the frame after the straightening. Cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: George Sinos Sent: April

Re: PESO: Abandoned factory panorama

I thought the lights were rather odd as well. Maybe to keep vandals, squatters and other unsavory types out? Certainly seems a waste of electricity. It really adds to the image, though. Gives it a rather surreal feel. Terrific photo! cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Mark C Sent:

Damn. Note for Mac users that Mac OS X 10.7.0 or later is required. That rules out folks like me who are still on 10.6.8 for various reasons. Grumble. (Getting harder and harder to avoid an annoying upgrade, and I used to look forward to new Mac OS X upgrades.) On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 3:41 PM, Mat
