Having trouble with the system today'.. AN entire write up of how to do the 3-D effects and a video deleted it self...  To suffice, click on the two screen shots.  You'll get the idea.  Briefly, go into your Photo file, pic a photo to open.  Now click on edit.  A menu on the right opens.  Now click on edit & create.  Click the top middle icon (Effects)..  pick your effect, and continue...  Once you play with it a few times.. you'll see it is easy to do.  There are plenty of effects.... to choose from...This App is installed in all windows 10 computers.......Have fun'...🎅

Thanks Ted.

I'll have to get together with my wife and her windows 10.

Dallas, by no means is it even close to  a "Photo Shop" app/software program.  But you can have fun with it... and you haven't spent any extra money....to do so'....

Some aren't dressed for the quick snow squall, but they didn't seek shelter in the nearby pub and risk missing out on the Friday night action...

Ah yes Paul .......your starting to get this winter thing down .  

You're right about some of the people not being dressed for this weather........especially the one at the trailer .

It's hard to beat the Santa Fe "warbonnet" colors and Santa's red suit...the weather gal mentioned tonight there may be a snowstorm coming...

How about a little firebox glow.

The tree guys pulls away after a week of brisk Xmas tree sales...his partner will finish out the season.  Let's just say tree guy met some interesting characters over the course of the first week, and his special permit to park the camper at the site overnight didn't hurt either...

Oh my god the Email hack is great!

Great lighting effects Lee.

It really makes quite an impression getting in close and having low concentrated lighting .   

Nice 👍

Hi everyone. This is my first post and kind of a test to see if I'm doing it correctly. This is a shot of a D&H caboose bringing up the rear of a line of tank cars as night falls on the Whereazona Central Railroad. (Sorry for the poor image quality. I need to get a better phone or a camera.)

I've noticed recently the inventory at the local "Chevy" dealer is getting back to normal...with the warm weather here, those "Bel Air" convertibles arrived just in time...

Some late night activity at the North Main Street station as the "Chief" boards for the west...

Things are hopping at the "20th Century Diner" behind the Greyhound station...

Nice shot Paul.  I like your recent post of the gas station activity'.  I don't go on that thread, and you know why..  I do look though.  So keep up the great photography work'... 😏👀

The local brewery is back to a second shift finally, just in time to quench the summer thirst of it's customers  At breaktime, many of the employees will cross the tracks to catch a burger at the 20th Century Diner, where the proud banner of the brewery is clearly posted saying "Hi neighbor, have a Gansett!"
