    Post your latest purchases.

    Glad it worked out for you. Looks like they are out of stock now, and since they are currently closed, an order won't be processed right away anyway. However, it looks like these can still be ordered, and the orders will be fulfilled when they get more in stock. Just wish it wouldn't take...

    Post Your Heavy Equipment Shots!

    I can't say for sure that this is considered to be heavy equipment because it was out-of-order​ and left sitting on the side of the road. ;) We are still digging out from 22" of snow over the weekend. Plows broke down and needed to be dug out by backhoes. The photo is posted in my 366 thread, too.

    This area is still digging out from the snow storm. Supposedly the total for this area was 22". According to a couple of neighborhood watch groups, even a few plows got stuck and had to be dug out by backhoes. Today school was cancelled, and tomorrow they are calling for a two-hour delay...

    A couple more from this afternoon. We are expecting LOTS of white stuff either late Friday night or during the early hours of Saturday morning--but not THIS white stuff. ;) It's supposed to continue all day Saturday and into Sunday. Last I heard, they were calling for between 12" to 18" of...

    Even though I kept looking, I didn't see any heavy people walking around slowly. ;)

    I contacted one of the canal organizations asking if there are any plans to restore this end of it, and they let me know they are looking for the right person/organization to respond. When I searched online, I couldn't find photos that show this end of the canal so my reason for taking these is...

    I really enjoy seeing the Delaware Canal. One of my previous photos shows a beautiful section of it. The canal is man made and runs from around Easton, PA down to Bristol, PA. Built in 1832, they used the canal to transport goods via mule pulled barges. As roads were built for transportation...

    Monopod head modification

    After purchasing a Manfrotto monopod, I searched through the various types of heads available. Since I already have 2 Manfrotto tripod heads (one takes a hexagonal plate while the other is a rectangular QR plate), I looked at monopod heads made by them so I can use the same plates. Manfrotto...

    Here are a couple from this afternoon--both along the banks of the Delaware Canal. It's been unusually warm so the canal hasn't frozen over completely.

    Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

    When I clicked to see the new posts in your thread, the following screen shot shows all I could see on my laptop. I only read as far as while waiting at the can so I assumed the photo was a row of porta-potties! I am so easily entertained. :beguiled:

    nikon as 24-120 f4 VR

    I don't have the lens and have never used one so my comments come from shooting in somewhat low-light situations. Here is a SOOC photo taken yesterday immediately prior to the Worship service. It was a test shot to check the exposure--it is completely unedited except for forum resizing. I was...

    Thanks, Roy. I really liked Jake's results from his initial post about it. It really isn't that hard to do--and it's definitely something I will play around with again. :)

    Hark's 2015 and 2016

    Just for kicks, I tried out the Twirl technique that @BackdoorHippie mentioned in his thread. I don't want to post the original photo since it was 4 musicians performing during a Worship service. I did what Jake suggested by rotating the top layer 180°. This is the result.

    Monopod v Tripod

    Adorama has the Manfrotto 680B for a really good price...$59.88 at the moment. It can be ordered directly through Adorama or by going through Amazon using Adorama as the seller. I just bought one for myself as I've been wanting a monopod. Question: How many use a head on a monopod? Is one...

    Rokinon 14mm on Nikon D750

    For me there are times when I really like the perspective distortion when the lens is aimed up a little. This was taken with my Nikon 14mm.

    Here is another shot of the same mechanism taken from a different vantage point. Different aperture and focal length used compared with the previous shot.

    In hindsight, I wish I had remembered to make use of the DOF app @BackdoorHippie once mentioned for cell phones. The app is on my phone, but I simply didn't remember it at the time. Plugging in the values, 125mm at f/5.6 while standing relatively close (maybe 10-12 feet) didn't give me as much...

    There is an aqueduct nearby associated with the Delaware Canal. At this juncture, the Canal runs above Brock's Creek and drains into the creek below. This device (sorry don't know its name) is located where the water from the canal overflows to the creek. The water behind this device is part of...

    Size Matters!

    Just a little humor to start off the New Year! Even though I am a female, I got a chuckle out of this. ;)
