    Weird Thought?

    I will be incinerated, already bought and paid for. No pipes or tobacco will accompany me- nor any other item. I've put everything, with two major exceptions, into a living trust for the benefit of my sole heir and excecutor; nice and simple with no wife and one heir. Oh, advice I got from a...

    Back to business: This photo needs adjustments, cropping being just one. Ideas, critiques, welcomed.... Tehama Golf Club, Monterey County, CA, 2021

    The only difference in feedback vs. critique may be that feedback is either like or dislike, whereas critique goes beyond that with specifics, both affirming and constructive criticism. In any event, the comments above will be deleted in about a week, and we'll get back to just photos. I hope.

    Weird Thought?

    I read that as guidance, not mandate. I would send emails with the guidance to the heirs, not just leave a paper in a safe.

    I should have put that in the o.p.. So, it is now edited to read: • Only images you have shot. • Location and date mandatory. • Camera settings—only if you wish. •. Manipulation O.K., but notate. • If you do not want feedback, say so in the post.

    This is just Bananas #2.

    No worries. I've taped two bananas up, which you can have for the bargain price of $100,000. What a discount!! For something worth twice as much.

    I surely did not read the comment as derogatory, and regret you took it that way. You used the term "weird" for that image, and perhaps the comment was meant to soften your own critique. As to critiques in general, they are welcome and some times sought out. Altering another's photo: I am...

    Are you meaning Lightroom? Yeah, I know I can do a custom sepia. Ugh. There are many choices under some of the options, all with names that have no meaning, no clue as to what they do.

    This is just Bananas #2.

    Well, if I had Six Millions to throw away - out of billions, that is, I'd donate an art center building, or perhaps chuck a gold plated toilet off a building, carefully video'ed from many angles. Nah, I'd just buy another car I didn't need...

    The Pipe That Pulled Me Back In

    If you wanted to keep a record of its coloring (and weight): Take a photo with the back of a business card in the capture. Try to photo in the same circumstances each time- the white card will help adjust if needed. Weigh it now, and periodically - say every quarter or so. Lovely!

    How Many Cutters And Lighters Do You Have?

    Just one point of data: My Xikar pooped out without a great deal of use.

    Well done! Extra donation to church? :) You might contact the son for any deals on the really old pipes!

    The Pipe That Pulled Me Back In

    I have a similar carved one, but tiny in comparison. Missing a claw or two.

    Sammy Davis Jr. Doesn't Get Enough Respect.

    I have zero interest in any of the rat pack. I'm an outlier for sure.

    What Defines a Codger?

    Yes, you qualify, as do I.

    Filters; No Filters; and Resting

    Two members, one of which was you, followed by Sigmund. In both cases, stem was left out, and moisture from salt and alcohol or other caused swelling of the mortise. In all cases, leave stem in for the flush. Problem solved.

    Better! It lost a lot of pixels, though. I went back to the original RAW image, and was just going to "sepia" it, to coin a phrase, and crop it. Lightroom has got so sophisticated that it doesn't readily show a sepia button!

    I love this long dead tree, but not thrilled with the photo. Thought about turning it so it's not dead center. but .... any ideas?
