Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1576 – September 28, 2021, 10:53:35 am Soooooo it was raining (it's the PNW). I put on my new rain jacket, tossed my Pixel 4 in the front pocket and headed out the door. A bit of rain is not going to stop this old guy. After all I've lived on the wet side of Oregon for over 40 years. After a three mile hike I got home only to find my cell very very wet. After I blew out the water and let the poor guy set in the sun for hours it was no joy ...... AKA dead. Oh it would turn on but it would flicker and do random stuff. Sadly I had to buy a new cell ie Pixel 5 5G. After the arrival and set up of new cell I knew I had to destroy the old cell as I wasn't going to let anybody access to the data on old cell. So glen and his wisdom took cell outside, got his large hammer, then hit it. A large spark happen and a very large cloud of steam flowed out of said cell. Seems there was still a bit of water in the pup. After the steam floated away I finished the job. I feel if you can get any data out of the cell remains then your a better person then me. Enclosed it a images of the remains............ <smile> now you know what's inside your cell phone. 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1578 – September 28, 2021, 04:56:47 pm Maybe you really wanted a new phone, but if not, you probably should have tried the rice thing. You just put in in a bath of rice and let the rice eat all the water from the insides. I tried it after I left my phone in a pants pocket that went into the laundry. Didn't work for me, but that poor phone really got washed. I hear it really does work for some.
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1579 – September 28, 2021, 08:00:39 pm "you probably should have tried the rice thing."I just did a search on "phone rice", and found a strong consensus that this is a bad idea. Experts say the rice treatment is a "persistent myth," and can actually increase corrosion in the phone. This article offers good advice on what to do with a wet phone. 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1580 – October 07, 2021, 12:56:47 am Here is a giant pacific octopus who kindly allowed me to photograph her, deep in the back of a cave about sixty feet deep off the coast of Vancouver Island. She has reached the end of her 4 - 6 year lifespan and will die as her eggs hatch. Until then, she will guard the eggs and blow water over them to keep them oxygenated. She was about 15 - 20 feet from tip to tip and gently pushed me back when she determined that I was too close. It was a magical experience.Harold 14 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1583 – October 09, 2021, 01:38:11 am A photo from two weekends ago, diving with my youngest daughter, off of a rock outcrop off the coast of Catalina Island.This one-inch fish is a juvenile garibaldi. The iridescent blue colors will remain on the fish until it sexually matures. The adult males ignore juveniles with blue spots. However, when the blue colors disappear and the young fish become uniform bright orange, the adult fish will beat the bejeebers out of the adolescent fish, keeping them from mating until they earn their place in the pecking order.Harold 7 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1598 – October 31, 2021, 02:39:11 pm Hello Friends,My DW, Cindy, and I arrived home yesterday after a week long journey to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We spent a night at the Grand Canyon Railway RV CG before heading to Mather CG where we embarked on our first trip to the GC. What an adventure.Mather CG Fir Loop is well laid out with new roads and very well spaced & level sites. Gotta love it. Free shuttle busses are nearby. Three separate color coded lines take you to the different stops along the rim. Weather was perfect the entire week. Tons to keep us busy at the Art Galleries and Viewing Areas along the rim. On our return home, we spent another night at the GC Railway CG and enjoyed a nice meal at the Fred Harvey Restaurant. As our meal ended, the Grand Canyon Railway train was pulling into the station from its Round Trip journey to the South Rim. We hurried out to the dock to take videos and pics of the arriving train and Relics From The Past.Here are a few pics from our amazing journey. Enjoy,Kent 14 Likes
