I think it would be a good idea to solicit a replacement for me in the sketchit community.

I think it would be a good idea to solicit a replacement for me in the sketchit community. I have come to the point where I don't care to post any pictures on g+ any more.
Heck I didn't join the hunt - don't enter pix for WPP or WPC or B&W or MM or LPC even. I haven't done a rusty, stair, circle, webcam, grate or alien shot in weeks. I just tried to post a gif (snow globe) in SiS and discovered that the animations are behind a click barrier...
Grrr...
We would do better with someone with a positive attitude and a willingness to participate IMO. My negativity can't be good for the group,
On the bright side - real life is peachy. Well, except for the cold weather of course. Brrrrr...

Damn ! Just posting up a howdy has turned into a project.

Paul Bagley I saw your Ghost Paramedic image shared on facebook.

Paul Bagley I saw your Ghost Paramedic image shared on facebook. It was posted by someone I don;t know to a page I don't follow and it's cropped and might be edited too I think. The page was California Fire Dept Chaplains or something and the poster has it as a timeline post in his photos at https://www.facebook.com/rex.evans.92/photos
I don't much care if people take my pictures (not that they do -lol) but I just thought I'd let you know, just in case it's useage is not legit.

Your attention please... we have a Special Mini Challenge announcement! On the evening of Tuesday 27 September, there will be a rare celestial event. This is the Harvest Super Total Lunar Eclipse!! The moon will be at it's closest orbit, and full, and orange, and in a Total Eclipse then! This has only happened 5 times since 1900, and the next time will be in 2033.
So, get out and get some Moon shots! Take some photos of this wonderful display of celestial awesomeness and post here!

With "regular" cameras you have to get the light just right and use the right apps or software to get a good SketchItSaturday shot. Of course you have to be a "regular" kind of photographer too...
I just grab my SjetchItCamera (shown with optional MacroSketch Adapter) and wait for things to just smell (or sometimes) taste just right...

Are we going to have a challenge for next month ? Here's leftover selfie from last month.

Here is why I went to the cemetery...

He's on his way to NYC so you could probably do short bits with him online while he's on the way.

Any suggestions for a monthly theme ?

My two cents - since this is National Honey Month, maybe we could share pictures of bee hives, our sweet hearts, sweet food things and such like ?

Started in GIMP, added some lightning and tried to add some more and got stuck. Started over with LunaPic but the lightning covered the whole page. Made a copy with, and one without and switched to Pixlr. Cut out the top and bottom thirds of the lightning and fiddled with the colors in the middle. I had to clone the clouds a bit where the cuts showed.

I used G'MIC and a filter called "Freaky Details" on this. It froze my computer the first time around but it was interesting. (esp. zoomed in)

I stopped and talked to this guy the other day. He was on his way to NYC from California, by foot. He has quite a story and a simple message. Go out and do stuff. I don't know what you're doing today but I'm going spelunking and boating. At the same time I might add, and with some "scavenger hunting" thrown in for good measure. 
Here's a link to his website. You can get to his FB page from there and see his updates and occasional live feeds.
