I used my dad's Argus C3 for most of my high school years. Great camera in its day!

The perception that gulls live just on French fries and other scavenged human food is hereby debunked. Here's a Ring-billed Gull diving into the water to catch a fish.

There's no reason to change away from continuous autofocus unless you have to focus and recompose. I never focus and recompose with the AF settings available these days.

This Wood Duck was looking at the acorns in the tree, and then looked over to me as if to ask if I could help him pick a few nuts for him and his friends.

Nope. These ducks are used to people, and will often get too close for me to be able to fit them in the frame. Quite different from Wood Ducks who aren't used to people, for sure.
