Not telling the truth - about WHAT, Scotty?
Okay, so - take $500 as an average per DSLR … that's six grand for the dozen - bought between 2010 and 2015 (the D7100 was the last) … bridges are a dime a dozen … say $150-$300 apiece. You don't seriously count THEM - do you? … The rest - the SLRs and Pentax 6x7 and View Cameras - I've had for donkey's years … they're really not worth anything, anymore. I don't get how you condense everything and wind up calling me a liar, Scotty. I'll be 72 on Tuesday … been around a long time. And, in spite of that, I have an excellent memory. Look, man … I was a Pro photographer for 40 years!!! … Even had my own studio. And - no, I haven't fallen on hard times … I have just retired, and now live on my Social Security, alone - ok?

Here's another view of the Dock at Squantz Pond State Park, in New Fairfield, CT …
In this one - there's even a Kayak floating by … Dock, Boat, Water, Bay …. all it takes!!!
Follow-up pic - shows the sign at the entrance to Squantz Pond State Park - boat launch parking area.

Neat math you're using there. By my calculations, $400 x 12 = comes to LESS than $5000 for ALL of them! And THAT was spread out over FIVE years!!!! ...
EXCUSES??? ... for WHAT?
You're the one who needs to make up excuses - for the reasons you're just here - ANTAGONIZING people!

Ooooh, Goody!!! … Is that the Opera House I can just barely see, to the left rear?
Here's another harbor, of sorts … this is Sail Harbour … a very exclusive community on Candlewood Lake - way north … almost into Sherman … not as private as Candlewood Isle - but, pretty upscale …
Again - shot with my Fuji Finepix HS-50EXR - a half-inch bridge camera (24-1000) …
Bottom one - shot from that same parking area ...

No. See the fishing rods?
No, Richard … all I noticed was the fishing NET …
Now - rather than a DOCK pic … as this one, surely is … here's a Bay pic …
I believe THIS one - is between Candlewood Isle, and Candlewood Lake Park … looking south …
… again - taken with my trusty Fuji Finepix HS-50EXR, with its 1/2" sensor … not bad, eh?
Bay just south of Candlewood Lake Park, in New Fairfield, CT

I didn't trash anything on this thread.
Fiber optic costs me only about $50/month but you can get a slower speed for about $30/month - a dollar a day.
And I've never spent more than $2000 on a camera. Even my Hasselblads didn't cost that much new about 30 years ago. I got the Df used from KEH.

Not yet, you haven't … and it doesn't matter if you do - I'll just stop responding. I won't abandon THIS one, as you made me do, with the LAST one. … Whatever it costs, Scotty … it's too much. I can't pay ANY monthly bill - so, that's OUT! … And, most of the cameras I've bought were around the $400-$600 mark, and that was all in the past, now (all before 2014) … I'll never be able to buy another, so, that's that! ….

Boats or ships use all of the ones I post. I don't have any amusement pier pics.
Bushfires are no joke here, and are sometimes lethal.
A lot more to come.

NO FIRE is fun, Richard … not only can they be lethal, but, can leave you with burn scars for LIFE!!
Piers - like the one in Brighton, Sussex, England - serve only as places for seafood restaurants, etc.
I have a lot more to come, too … we'll match - pic for pic - how's that?

Interesting, Richard … so, now, we've gone from a Dock, to a Pier, to a Wharf!!!!
Fire Danger, huh? … Does it happen more on a Monday, than on a Wednesday, or on a Friday?
You come up with such really intriguing pics, Richard ….
Now - getting us back on track (somewhat) here are some boats "docked" (moored, really) in open water.
This was shot at Candlewood Lake Park - very near Candlewood Isle - here, in New Fairfield, CT … with my trusty Fuji Finepix HS-50EXR - which uses a half-inch sensor … not much diff from my DSLR pics - eh?

In that case here's a couple more - boats but no dock. The Mission Beach photo was processed with Dynamic Auto Painter (DAP).
You and your islands, Dan … Sitka's on Boranof Island - right?
I sense, perhaps - you probably have a boat - much like THIS one - right?
Ahhhh!!! … San Diego, too … finally … on FIRM ground!!!! …
Like this one, Dan … has a sense of utter expanse, plus … all the bodies … like ants, burrowing under …

You can't afford to upgrade from dial up? It's been pretty much relegated to third world users. 
The rest of my advice still applies. You are welcome to it.
