PowerDVD has that option right in the preferences of this playback software - to capture images and save them as BMP's You just find a scene, put the player on pause, on the player interface, you see the image of a 'still camera'. You click on this and this scene on the monitor is captured as the BMP in the directory assigned for capturing images.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-12-2007 09:15 AM                     Got a new one now.

All the white stuff on the ground...that's not snow. It's ice. All of it. Freaking ice storm from hell. Made for some nice photos though.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Sheldon Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Mobile, AL, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 02-06-2007 11:23 AM                     I hope you can see this, Boston, because I'm doing it as hard as I can.  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 02-06-2007 05:22 PM                        Edwin- sent you a PM.

Northwest have since replaced them with A330s. The A330s give a much quieter and smoother ride and have much sleeker lines, but somehow lack that Austin Powers/1970s/retro chic look! The picture was taken on Kodachrome 64 with a Nikon F75, 70-300 lens with a polarising filter on it (shooting through a window). It was quite a long exposure as I remember - had to balance the camera on a plant stand. A security guard nearby looked at me most oddly! Last month I had the Ansel Adams picture of the Hindenburg flying over Hartford on my desktop (the one with its nose emerging through the fog with the skyscrapers in the background), but accidentally deleted it and can't remember where I downloaded it from...  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-08-2007 05:25 PM                  I always liked flying in the DC10. When I was a young man, while working for ABC news, I was lucky and thrilled to pilot one. I did really well...except when landing. Unfortunately, I landed 40ft below the runway surface and killed everyone on board. Oh, Ummmm... I was flying the AA simulator in Texas. True story!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 02-09-2007 01:12 AM                     I can see it now: Coots on a Plane, starring our beloved Phil.

Musta had the same tower jockey as in Die Hard 2, eh?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-17-2007 01:22 AM                     Spring has sprung in SW OK. Lots of things blooming. Especially Bradford Pear trees. Took this photo today in front of the Comanche County Courthouse (coworkers were installing new building letters). A large f/2.8 aperture is handy for throwing the background out of focus. It also works well for getting your frame speed up to very fast rates, like 1/2000 sec. That can be handy when you're shooting a near macro shot of flowers...and then freaking out when bees get after you!  |  IP: Logged
