Mickey, It's been in the 90's all week here, and is supposed to drop ca. 20 degrees, or even more, by this weekend. Send it on down! Doug

Hi Dave! I believe you're right. I got thinking about it, and decided to have another look at the manual (always a good idea ), to see if it has a fill flash setting. If all else fails, I can play with the subject to camera distance, to see if that helps.

Dave, That's a good use of fill flash. It seems, however, that when I try to use it, the subject is overexposed,the background dark. Maybe I'm just getting too close. With my film cameras I didn't have a problem, but with my digital, a FinePix S5200, I can't seem to get it right. Could it be the camera, or is it just me Doug

Hi Dave! I thought you did, but isn't a flashlight also called a torch over there? Doug

Bob,
I ride my scooter daily. It's fun and is cheap to operate. I've got an old 2-cycle,horizontal stroke engine that I'm in the process of rebuilding, and I'm pretty good with a torch, so this might be a fun project.

Wayne, A very nice photo, the fill flash is just right. It looks like little Ella knows how to pose too. Unfortunately, I don't have any grandchildren, but we have a whole tribe of great nieces & nephews to spoil, they're my favorite subjects Doug

Thanks Dave! They are very neat little scoots. Mentioned in the article I read was a reference to a Kenilworth Scooter. I could only find one photo of it,but it appears to be built along the same lines. Here's a picture of some friends that you might enjoy Doug

Hi Gang! I'm a scooter nut, and while doing some research for a project that I'm contemplating, I came across this. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen one, or perhaps even owned one of these . I guess they were built in the 1920's. It's just too cool, and would be great fun to replicate! Anyone got any photos? Doug

Interesting! So this is the "Genesis Project". Do you think they'll find Mr. Spock there?

Hi Wayne! I totally agree with you there. I'm a fanatical reader, and love books. I have to admit that, at the moment, I read a lot of Clive Cussler novels. It takes a lot of time and dedication to do the research alone, much less write hundreds of pages, thousands of words, and put it all together so that someone would want to read it. I wish that I had some of that dedication.

Dave,
That's cool, she's related to, but does she receive any?

:)Wayne, I never read the books, but just knowing someone who has had a book published, AND they were made into movies....... It's a really neat thing, to be sure Doug
