After about two months of shopping around and comparing prices, I finally pulled the trigger on a new D7200. Selected the camera body only because I already have the two kit lenses from my old camera (18-55mm and 55-200mm) also have 50mm f1.8 and a 105mm f14 Macro. Decided to stretch things...

Well I feel like a Newbie here. Been almost a year since I've been here. I was taken offline due to illness. In simple terms, my lungs have pretty much logged off. As a result, I get pneumonia about 2 times a year, which puts me in the hospital. I'm also on Oxygen any time I'm out and...

At least Dixie likes it.

In keeping with the topic, "Anything there... WENT!!!" Almost didn't post it. All the others are Sooooo Good.

Around here, August means County Fair. We always take the four grandkids.

I was surfing around lynda.com this morning and stumbled across their Windows 10 videos. It appears that these are open to everyone, member or not. (my membership is currently inactive). If you're thinking about upgrading to windows 10, you might want to check them out.

OK. I'm going to try this, and hope not to be the first to fail. I can't guarantee completing this because of my limited ability to get out and look for this kind of stuff. I will try though. Abandoned Arches Architecture Bark Black and White Broken Chairs and...

I've found there are advantages to using slow shutter speeds. Like they said Bulb mode is the way to go. F11 and an ISO around 200. Around here, fireworks are usually no more than one or two bursts in sequence then a pause. (Boring) You have to leave the shutter open for a while to capture...

Re: Let's see some stitched panoramas… Believe it or not, this is part of a "Taxpayer Funded" Art project. The city actually paid someone to paint this wall. Sure am glad I live out in one of the nearby counties. Eight shots total, using MS ICE.

I know I am going to catch a lot of grief for this. At least I put it in the "Dumb Jokes" forum.

Stumbled across this E-Book (Free Download). For a rookie like me, it will be helpful. Sure hope the link works.

Round one of the snowfall. This was overnight. Round 2 is due this afternoon with predictions of the same volume. Neither my wife nor I are physically capable of operating a snow shovel. At times like these, we hunker down and watch the snow until our son can get out. He comes over once...

I wasn't going to do this till I got home tonight. After all... I AM at work Then I decided What the Hell Not sure if I like my background color but here's my first try.

After all you "GOOD LOOKING" people, I wasn't going to post a shot. Although it isn't a "SELFIE", (my niece grabbed my camera and started snapping). It's as close as I'm going to get to one.

Re: Let's see some stitched panoramas… Didn't know much about doing panoramas when I did this one. Since then I've come up with about a dozen ways I could have done better. Was hoping for this year's airshow to improve but it got cancelled for some reason. Took about a dozen shots using a...

I looked for this question in the forum but my search skills stink. I have a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II printer. I've been replacing ink cartridges by ordering from Canon Replacements (online), but I also see numerous third party companies like Innovera who sell "compatible" cartridges for...

You guys (and gals) literally have every one of my ideas covered already. My Dad suggested I do a selfie. After all, I am Old and Weathered (but happy). Took about 6 tries to get this one and still cut the top of my head off.

Figured the least I could do was share one I took back in May

OK, now for my second try. (probably my last for this contest). For those of you who are history buffs, this is the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. The building was designed by Thomas Jefferson house the library at the university. It's currently undergoing renovations so you'll see...
