First thing… please use the quote reply button below the responses so that we know to whom you are responding.
Thanks.
Next…. As far as quality goes, it doesn’t really matter which system you’re using. Some will say one has better something or other that the other doesn’t have. But Nikon and Canon systems will always work well and give you fabulous results. My advice would be to buy into the system that has a good supply of equipment and is readily available. I would hate to have a project to complete and not be able to get the equipment I need to do my best work.

"Generally" should apply to all software. Why re-invent the wheel? Simply selecting it doesn't work. When I do that, it tells me to "Select it, like Control A. "All" of it is already there. I want to select only a small portion. Whey couldn't they have said, "Select it by..."?

YouTube has given me the best information, but if I click on an old post, the screen is different. I have to find one that is less than a year old.


I have found that when I use help for an item, the response is usually for a different or older model. They simply cut and pasted the old text and slapped it on the newer model. Lazy.

How is it that every advance in energy consumption usually results in higher purchase price for the consumer. That never gets dicussed by the current admin.

Before he died Dusty Hill told the band he wanted Elwood to take his place. Elwood was clean shaven, and they didn't see him during Covid, and when they were ready to start touring again he surprised them with the beard he had grown. I saw them with Jeff Beck last year in Austin Texas.


You need pretty long fingers for that fretboard. I wonde r how many octaves that thing covrrs.

You can shoot and edit with your cellphone very easily- right on the spot. First, download this FREE app SNAPSEED. This is surprisingly excellent editing software. You will know exactly waht you chav captured and edited before you leave the site, If you are not satisfied, you can immediately re-do any action as you edit or re-shoot and re-edit immediately.

When shooting a tombstone, marker, monument, etc, try to line the "camera" up so it is vertically parralle to the subject- avoid shooting up or down at the marker-if possible. Then, share the image with SNAPSEED. If there's any remaining distortion- foreshortening or elongation you apply the "Perspective" tool and normalize the converging lines. There is a "Detail" tool that is a kind of HD and sharpening setting that will bring out fine detail and sharpen the image. The "healing" too will remove some stains or distractions. You can also control density, contrast, saturation, cropping, and more. The Perspective tool and the "Extension" tool have built-in Auto-Fill- which works very nicely!

Hanging around a cemetery does not sound like a whole lot of good fun for the kids and children might be more entertained and interested to learn about photography in a more " happy" or festive environment.

Kudos- you are providing a service to families or individuals who are researching their heritage or are unable to visit family gravesites and pay their respects.

A note about gravestone preservation. Please resist the urge to "clean" stones before photography. Some stone, especially the very old, are actually quite fragile in the inscribed surface. Brushing, chaulking may make for a better photo but will set the stone up for accelerated destruction. Use varying lights to highlight the inscription. Remember, if you didn't buy it and put it there, leave it alone.

In prison's walls, a story unfolds,
Of a man once powerful, now trapped in holds,
His reign of chaos, a chapter closed,
As fate's hand upon him firmly enfolds.

Donald Trump, a figure divisive and stark,
Whose words and actions left a lasting mark,
In the corridors of power, his name embarks,
But destiny's path led him into the dark.

From towers of gold to a confined space,
On uncertain grounds, he finds his place,
No more rallies, no more public embrace,
Now only whispers of regrets and disgrace.

In shackled moments, reflections abound,
A man once untouchable, now earthbound,
As time ticks by, a new truth is found,
That all power can crumble, without sound.

Within the prison walls, memories sink,
Of a presidency built on ego's brink,
The triumphs hailed alongside the stink,
Are now echoes lost, fading into the chink.

The walls closing in, whispers come to pass,
Of a fading power, no longer to amass,
While the world looks on, through a stained glass,
The legacy of Trump will forever surpass.

But even in darkness, hope still resides,
For justice prevails where corruption tries,
So let lessons be learned, as time abides,
That no one is beyond where the truth resides.

For in the end, a bigger tale unfolds,
Of a nation's journey, as history molds,

The rise and fall of a man once beholds,
In prison's embrace, his destiny unfolds.
In prison's walls, a story unfolds, br Of a man on... (show quote)

The hub sounds like a device to download from various sources to the tablet, not from the tablet. You may need a cable that fits into your charge port with a female usb on the other end.

You are mistaken. Not only is it the safest big city in America but it's the 5th safest big city in the world, just behind Paris France.


If what you say is true, then why are people leaving NYC for safer locales. And why are NYC employers finding it more difficult to attract candidates to commute to work in the city? New hires certainly don't have the resources to live there.

NYC has very restrictive gun laws and is the safest big city in America.
Proving that you are wrong.


NYC is certainly not the safest big city in America.

It is an interesting plane. It looks very much like they just took two P-51s and joined them together. In fact, though, the airframe was almost entirely re-engineered. There were some teething problems early on but that's to be expected. They started out using the braking system from the P-51. But the F-82 was much heavier and they had to completely redesign that feature.


Looks like the props turn in opposite directions from the pitch differences. Just like the p-38.

Fully restored to original, these can fetch $50k to over $100k. Wood repair on those is a constant job.

Hey, how about the phrase "you know". How many times has that phrase been beaten to death and yet still being resurrected by the younger set. My sister always used this phrase so I told her, "no, I don't". it got her so flustered that she would loose her train of thought, more likely derailed. It was always fun to do this.


Ya know what I'm talkin' bout?

I would stay away from Windex. It's not the glass that you need to be concerned about. It's the coating on top of the glass that you need to be careful with. While coatings have become more durable over the years, they still need to be handled with care.


Windex can actually ruin some coatings.......especially CPLs.

Analog versus digital, early cameras were analog because there were no electronics involved only mechanical. I would think when cameras started using electronics as a part of their system they no longer were analog.


Electronics for years were all analog.
