I totally got bogged down in Lunenburg, Mass

So where do I start..Hmmmm

At the beginning I suppose.FACEBOOK....I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.Farmville,Mafia Wars,etc, etc,ALL the other games also is NOT what I'm there for. I want to socialize with folks but I don't have the time to "find a pig for the farm"

I create pictures,some bad ,some good.I have a passion for making those frames, the best they can be.It is a learning process,that will probably never end (I hope not anyway)I try not to take "Snap shots"

That being said,I'll explain about Lunenburg, Mass. I crew up there.Some of you reading this, I went to school with,some I've just dug a little and asked you to join me in FB,or have clicked my link in my e-mail.

Lunenburg has a link in FB http://www.facebook.com/LunenburgMA When I lived there I did not realize the history of the town.

What I'm going to try and do is share Lunenburg..thru pictures,my ramblings,and what others have said.

The new "upper common" as it is called now.

The upper common then (sorry about no dates)

Public Safety New Facilities
The Department moved into new quarters in December of 2004. The new Public Safety Building at 655 Massachusetts Avenue replaced the fire and police station at 7 School Street that served the Town since the early 1900's. The modern facility provides ample space for fire department apparatus, a state of the art police station and lock up, and a 9-1-1 dispatch center with two operator positions.

Police and Fire as I remember in the 60's

Things that haven't changed much:

Just a thought.......Marketing

Megapixels

Instead of film, a digital camera has an imaging sensor consisting of millions of pixels. To record an image, each pixel builds up a tiny charge of electricity in response to the light it "sees." A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution.

Now, once upon a time, megapixels were the big differentiator in cameras — because if you didn't have enough megapixels, you couldn't get a high enough resolution for good photo prints. Fortunately, most new cameras today offer 6 megapixels or more — ample resolution for small and larger print sizes, including 8" x 10" photos.
Type of image Minimum resolution needed Number of megapixels needed
Web image 640 x 480 1-megapixel cameras* & up
4" x 6" print 2048 x 1536 3-megapixel cameras* & up
8" x 10" 3072 x 2048 6-megapixel cameras & up
16" x 20" 3264 x 2448 8-megapixel cameras & up

* Top counts of 1, 2 or 3 megapixels are mainly seen only in today's cell phones and camcorders.

So if most cameras can deliver the print sizes you need, how do you decide between, say, a camera with 8 megapixels and a camera with 10 megapixels? You may not need to. The difference in resolution between their photos can be difficult to detect, unless you're a pro who looks for the tiniest details, or you plan to make really enormous prints.

With that in mind, you may want to instead consider your photography habits and decide what other camera features are particularly important to you. Do you want extra zoom capability to capture close-ups of your child across the baseball field or wildlife in a distant tree? Are you mainly interested in automatic functions, or do you want to experiment with camera settings on your own? Are you looking for an ultra-slim model that you can easily carry everywhere?
