Re: Don's D7000 Daily Dabblings

This is downtown Prattville, AL. If you look at my photos you will see an old mill and a mill dam. It is just across from this Red Arrow Hardware store. The mill and dam were built in the 1850 and were still producing cotton gins till just a few years ago. It is about 5 minutes from my house so I use it to test any new equipment or technique I want to try out. Sort of a standard shot to judge thing by.

I'm assuming, then, that Prattville is not all that large. It seems a lot like the small upstate NY villages we have here in the hinterlands.

Prattville was a town of about 20,000 when we moved here 12 years ago. It has now grown to about 40,000. The downtown area has not changed at all. The growth is closer to the interstate that goes to Montgomery which is the state capital. That is about 10 miles south.

I would suggest for her birthday to give her a shoulder strap and get that camera off of her neck. She will thank you for it!!!

I tried to get her to use the strap like I use that goes across the shoulder like the Black Rapid straps and she does not like them. Not pushing it yet.
