    I did not try other formats, Fred. I tried to find a number to call Friday, and I could not find a way to reach them. If you know the number or where it is on the website, I would be most appreciative if you would share it with me. As for learning CP1... You are RIGHT. It is a pain. I have...

    Danno's 2023 Who Knows When

    First Z8 shots... Not the best day to get out but it was nice even so it was good to get out. It is weird going out solo.

    Well, the Z8 came in. I do love it. It will take a little while to get used to. I know one thing... 20 shots per second is FAST and more than I need day to day. I have one complaint... LrC 12.3 crashes... That is the new version with the Denoise function. It opened the day I installed it and...

    Danno's 2023 Who Knows When

    Yes, the chopper was the Kentucky State Police. They flew over us for several minutes. They got pretty close to the Memorial a couple of times. The crowd enjoyed it.

    Danno's 2023 Who Knows When

    It was a wonderful day. I came home and took a 2-hour nap. This is a wonderful group of people. There were a lot of guys I used to ride with and folks from points west. About 450 bikes this year. Down a bit, but everyone is getting older.

    New Z8 is 3 Days Away

    Well, I got the call today from my local camera shop. Their first shipment of Z8s will be there Tuesday from 2:00 to 2:30, and they have one with my name on it. I have to admit, I did not expect to receive one in the first shipment. I am a bit excited. I have been setting aside cash for a...

    My daughter Caroline received her master's degree in divinity from Asbury College today. She will continue working as a Chaplin at the UK Med Center until the end of the summer and then take a position at the VA in Lexington. She really has the heart for that ministry. My friend was taking...

    here's something thats bugging me

    I don't know of a way to lock the focus point, but I do not use single-point anymore. I use face or eye recognition and BBF. I will lock the target in the center using the OK button. When my target shows up I position the center point over the subject. Press BBF and the focus point hangs with...

    Z 8 Mini Z 9 or Comparable D850 - Changes Coming

    That’s the one. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. This video is not very good. The assumptions no longer accurate. It sounds like it was recorded a couple years ago.

    Z 8 Mini Z 9 or Comparable D850 - Changes Coming

    Unless you are in the market for it right now I would wait a bit and see what is coming. I use my 200 - 500 Nikon when I want to shoot wildlife. It will be interesting to see if Nikon puts out a replacement for the D500 on the Z platform. But you cannot go wrong getting a D500 with a low...

    Z 8 Mini Z 9 or Comparable D850 - Changes Coming

    I think that has to be close. They have the focus system in the Z9. It would be interesting to see a cropped stacked sensor.

    Z 8 Mini Z 9 or Comparable D850 - Changes Coming

    Well, I watched the announcement of the Z8 and was glad for what they had to say about it. I watched Matt Irwin and Ricci Talks videos and was happy regarding their reviews and I preordered the Z8. The Z8 is a beast. I am excited about it. I would love to get it in May or Early June, but I...
