Soooooo, they just flew in on the red eye???????:rolleyes:

Reminds me of my old "69 bug. Obviously, this is an earlier model. And it's the wrong color. It's got the same aftermarket exhaust.

My experience has been that 24MP full frame and 24MP crop frame will allow approximately the same amount of cropping. Since the APS-C sensor is roughly half the area of a full frame, it must be enlarged more to get the same size as the FF. Higher pixel density only means more resolution when the...

Wow, he looks REALLY good for 208 years old.

Well, sharp and in focus are two completely different things. Here is an article about heat haze. If you look about a third or so down the article under "What is Heat Haze?", you will see an image of a range rover in a field of grass, along with a cropped version. Look at that and look at your...

Heat shimmer?

This was a somewhat timely thread for me. I was supposed to give a short talk on Birds In Flight at our local CNPA meeting last week. I had to cancel due to my wife falling and breaking her hip that morning, but I was prepared and ready for it. I'm certainly no expert on the subject but gathered...

Remember the old joke about the tourist asking a NY policeman, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?". To which he replied, " Practice. Practice. Practice.". Find some place that has a lot of birds in the air. It doesn't matter if they are aesthetically pleasing subjects or not. Then spend time...

The 500 pf should be less of a risk as well. It is shorter and lighter than the 200-500, which puts less strain on the mount, although it's still best to exercise care with a long tele. Also, I never really liked the idea of long external zooms. Too much length and weight hanging off the end and...

If you look at the mount area of the lens you will see the SS bayonet is secured to, presumably, the main outer tube with four screws. There is a another tube inside the bayonet ring that either butts up to, or is attached to the rear glass element. If the screws to the main tube loose their...

I carried the 200-500 attached to my camera in my bag for a year or two with no issues. I would think that carrying it in the field, ready for use, would cause more stress than carrying it in a bag. You didn't by any chance have mounted the camera/lens combo on a tripod using the camera to...

Well, I'm using the cloud version of LR, rather than LR Classic. The club I'm a member of has "Tech Tips" most meetings where a very knowledgeable member gives short tutorials on LR techniques. It seems almost everyone in the group uses LRC. My daughter and I got started with the web version due...

Another option is to add "grain" in post. I know Lightroom has that option, and I'm sure other editing software has the same option.

I ran it through a couple restarts and was busy with some other things. It seems to have settled down to what seems to be a little better than it has been. Time will tell. One interesting thing is watching the performance graphs that were available with the software that downloaded with the...

Well, I went ahead and loaded the new driver. It comes with some neat looking software that gives more options, and a lot more information. I fired up LR, and it actually seems to be worse. I may play a little with it, but unless I can find a way to make it better, I should probably just roll...

I pretty sure my unit came with Windows 11 installed, it's only about a year and half old. The driver I found was from Intel's website. The quick research I did says that I shouldn't have too much trouble getting the old driver back, if things go wrong. I did go ahead and set a restore point...

Thanks again, I'll check that out. This is what the system is currently saying for graphics card: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (128 MB) I went into device manager and hit the update for the driver for the GPU. The driver it is using is an older driver for a different GPU and only lists windows...

Thanks for all the info. I don't see an advanced graphics settings on my computer. I used the search feature in Settings, and it garnered no results. The only other thing that comes to mind for me is that I'm using an external monitor on my computer. I have tried unplugging it and running LR...

Well, I'm certainly no computer nerd. I know enough to be dangerous and that's about it. I used to be pretty good at DOS, but that was a long, long time ago. Things have gotten extremely complex these days. I tried to find HAGS in my settings, to no avail. I do think there may be something...
