I never got a response on my email. It did not bounce back either. It does not have to be the worst possibility, but most of the others are bad enough. Like in the nursing home following a stroke.

Outstanding job! I even was cracking up reading the blog with the contest winners. Thanks for finding that @Marilynne .

The 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 sell for surprisingly low as used currently. I saw both listed on the used list at my local camera store. The 24-120mm is also selling for the $650 range as used. I look as I eventually plan to trade in my F-mount gear. Kind of disappoints me as I realize the...

The May 10 solar storm aurora.

Pretty much has to be the eclipse.

I at least use the same EQ wedge and counterweight. (y)

Personally, I would just use the D5200. It is a backup after all. But, I cannot recommend buying a new F-mount DSLR even if the prices drop. All scuttlebutt says Nikon has stopped manufacture of F-mount bodies a while ago. Mirrorless Z-mount is the future. I currently have a D750 that is a 2nd...

My father's stuff I managed to hold on to after he died 42 years ago. The military watches from my collection. My father is the portrait on the left, on the right is his older brother (Jay). Dad served in West Germany keeping the Russians on their side of things. Jay fought in Korea, was at...

With 3rd party batteries, problems usually will be the control circuit built-in to the battery pack. The cells may be fine, but they don't get charged right because of faulty logic on the control.

PC is searching for a good Internet connection and the D850 does not provide that. PC then will disconnect. The fix is on the computer end, not really the camera.

Happy early father's day, but were you not also thrown off by the "lens" also being in the style of Canon? LOL

He actually went quiet after March 3rd, and his last "likes" were 10 days later. His website from profile is a dead end. It looks suspiciously like an email address so I took a chance and sent a welfare check request there. Will update.

I had definitely noticed he was MIA for weeks. Was hoping he was only ill. You are missed Fred.

Good question about the burst mode. An experiment would be in order. I have always separated Raw to slot 1 and JPG to slot 2 since my first camera with dual SD slots (D7000). Partly because it allowed me to use an older and smaller SD card in slot 2 and it would just work out. Saved some money...

I wish you continued strength Danno. I have no doubt your soul will be in good hands.

Looks like you got a bit of Milky Way there also @Scott Murray

@Bob Blaylock : I agree that is more likely the glow of urban light pollution. Looks like what I have also captured with long exposure toward a town. My way to get to infinity is to get an assist from LiveView. Set to manual focus, activate LiveView, put the focus square on a bright star. Now...

It was not so much light pollution as much as the Aurora fizzled out overnight. I have been using a phone app for tracking Aurora which is half science data and half social media. You can see live check-ins where people report Aurora and also attach photos. All the new reports Saturday were late...

Aurora was directly overhead for me last night, but it did not extend too far south. Some of my photos were east, some west, some north. Ordinarily I would try looking at the north horizon when the Kp factor is lower. I had some challenges. Rain moved through at sunset, and the clouds were only...

Watching with bare eyes, it kind of was underwhelming. You could easily mistake the Aurora last night for thin, wispy clouds moving through. Color was only noticed in photos. But I did see from my home in the city. Just had to use my phone to confirm it. LOL
