I am confused. Won't the most expensive one give me the best image?

Oh, it's not so lonely being at the top. Me and my two friends rather enjoy it that way, being so superior. It's like watching a pack of dogs fighting over a pile of fresh meat. Once you've acquired about all of the knowledge that I have, it's rather amusing holding onto the answers and watching the scuffle that follows. It's also similar to chumming for sharks, eh?

Well I managed to get a shot of the eclipse without any filters, destroying my camera or blinding myself:

From San Francisco!

Yup that Water/Radio/Satellite/whatever tower is most definitely eclipsed by the cloud cover..

It's a good thing you used the RAW setting on that Ol' Brownie..I was able to process it a bit more. I hope you don't mind. Your image was spectacular by itself but I was able to bring out a bit more of eclipse' highlights


Well done on the incorporation of the eclipse.

I spent 39 years teaching high school Biology, and one thing I tried to pound into my student's heads is, "There is no such thing as a stupid question, no mater how many times it has been asked before." I hope I never become so intelligent, so superior as a photographer, that I feel comfortable making fun of people's questions. It must be very lonely at that top level of photographic superiority and intellectual superiority. For me, I would rather stay low on those totem poles.


I was taught that the Only "Stupid Question" is the one that isn't asked.

President Trump to Announce Sale of California

LOL

PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES SALE OF CALIFORNIA TO MEXICO
WASHINGTON DC (AP)

At 12:15 pm today President Trump disclosed that he has reached an agreement with Enrique Pena Nieto, President of Mexico, which provides for the sale of substantially all of the State of California to the country of Mexico. President Trump noted that this deal, which he claims "is his largest real estate deal ever" is a win-win for everyone involved. One of the benefits he says he will highlight during a prime time address from the oval office later this evening, will include using the proceeds received by the US from Mexico to 1) pay for the Wall (fulfilling yet another campaign promise), a wall which will now include the length of the eastern boarder of California, 2) fund all the infrastructure spending in the remaining 49 states and 3) pay to relocate the 67 Republicans that currently reside in California. He also noted that Federal money saved from the reduction of California citizens on US social programs will allow those social programs to be cash positive in less than 3 years.

Mexican President Nieto announced that he has already introduced a bill to the Mexican Congress asking to change his country's name to MexiCal.

Other benefits President Trump intends to discuss during this evening's prime time address include:

California will now be able to act as a sanctuary state within MexiCal noting that there is much more room for the refugees who will find the climate in the State of California more desirable than the climate in US cities such as NYC, Detroit or Chicago.

The elimination of the existing border between Mexico and California will allow drugs to flow more freely between Mexico and the users in Hollywood. Drug tunnel diggers at the Tijuana boarder will now be able to use their skills to dig tunnels under Los Angeles to help ease congestion in that city and allow rioters to move about the city's universities more freely.

The U.S. taxpayer will no longer be on the hook for any future disaster relief required once the next megaquake hits California.

The space in the Capitol and other DC buildings vacated by representatives of California will be fumigated and turned into "time-out rooms" for the press as well as Liberty Centers where US citizens can meet with their congressmen to discuss the pursuit of economic freedom.

Nancy Pelosi released a statement stating that she looks forward to making the Mexican President's life miserable and prefers the year round weather in Mexico City to that of DC. Her office has already announced a schedule of fund raising activities for what is believed to be an upcoming campaign to run for President of MexiCal.

Papers released along with Trump's statement reveal that a newly incorporated real estate company, pmurT, Inc., which was intimately involved in the deal discussions, will receive a broker fee of $25 billion on the California sale. An anonymous pmurT, Inc representative has revealed that the profits on the deal are HUGE and will be used to purchase, develop and convert all abandoned US Federal facilities in California into special high end retreats and resorts which will assist California residents with managing their euphoria and transition into the nanny state they have so long desired to be.

The exact northern border of the new MexiCal is still under negotiation. Apparently the White House is concerned that certain members of congress may be unwilling to give up California's wine country and are suggesting that the northern border align with the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge.

California residents will be issued special blue cards to cross the border into the US so that the total number of California liberals entering the US can be tracked and at any point in time not exceed predetermined levels. Residents that remain in California after the effective date of the sale will not be allowed to seek refugee status in the US in the future.

Mexican President Nieto stated he is thrilled with the deal and is looking forward to declaring Spanish the national language for his newly acquired territory and opening SSL (Spanish as a second language) schools throughout California. He also noted that funding for the transaction would come from the Mexican drug cartels, which have agreed to provide low interest loans to Mexico so long as they are allowed to move their cash out of Switzerland and the Cayman Islands back into Mexico tax free. He also said he considers the fact that a Disney park will now be located within his country an added bonus.

White House representatives refused to confirm rumors that a similar deal was in the works for the sale of Northeastern states from NY through Maine, to Canada.

President Trump wrapped up his statement stating, "this deal is YUGE and will help Make America, albeit a little smaller, Great Again".

The appropriate setting for a wedding is entirely up to her. I would just stay out of it.


Isn't the venue (aka setting) usually determined by both the Bride and Groom, as in a mutual decision?

Didn't even have to read the post - figured it out from the acronym. I totally agree! Except they're still broadcasting pics on TV and interviews with ophthalmologists about those who didn't heed the warmings..

Thank the Lord for that....there's enough fruits and nuts out there to feed a starving nation.....

1) which is better: raw or jpeg?
2) I'm looking to get a new camera and don't know if Nikon or Canon is better.
3) I'm also looking for the best walk-around lens for either of them


Three items?? Well, now the eclipse is over - lets get back to normal and have a go:

1) which is better: raw or jpeg?
There is endless debate over this - personally I like food cooked -

2) I'm looking to get a new camera and don't know if Nikon or Canon is better.
If you get a Nikon - you are stuck with it for life.
A Canon can always be fired.

3) I'm also looking for the best walk-around lens for either of them.
Speaking from personal experience, a normal walking stick is best,
A lens long enough to walk around on is rather heavy, and the camera not a good handle.

Did I say normal?? Well it take time to get over sunstroke - or is it "Lack-of- Sun"Stroke?

Thank Goodness The Eclipse Is Finally Over....

Now we can start discussing other important stuff... Such as whether or not to use "protection" filters or what's the "best camera" or the "right settings to use for....."!


How about shoot in RAW or JPEG, we never discuss that!
