So are you saying to be a conservative you've had a history of being mugged? Now I understand why the majority of the conservatives are paranoid. LOL :XD:

Of course I'm paranoid. Every time I've left this country people have actively tried to kill me. And quite a few people in America have publicly declaimed that they'd like to kill me and "my kind." There's nothing abnormal about being paranoid. As Joseph Heller said in Catch 22, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to kill me.

Just got done reading a lens review and laughed (the Truth)

I remember a quote that goes something like this...."don't pick a fight with an old man....he won't fight....he'll just shoot you in the head"!

I like it. I guess, at 61, some would consider me an old man.

I'm 65, licensed to carry, and I DO carry every time I leave my (secure) apartment building. I carry a Glock .45 and 51 rounds of ammo. (Can you tell I'm a combat veteran?).

I DON'T pity the scumbag who takes me for a harmless old man!

Long camera strap.

I have their dual harness and carry two cameras many times without problem

Amen! I almost always carry two cameras, and do so using the OpTechUSA dual harness. It works great!

Lighttoom or Eleements.

I recommend just Lightroom to start learning. Once Don reaches the point where he needs layers, he can add Photoshop or Elements. If you try to learn both at the same time, it will take forever.

Simple Poll, what "Brand" camera do you use?

I thought with all the Nikon vs canon vs "???????"
It would be fun to chime in and let us know what camera you use.

This is not a thread for arguing about what is better or throwing stones! not what lens you use, just what Brand camera you use....{you don't even have to say what model camera it is, unless you want to}

2 Nikon's for me
1 Olympus P&S

Panasonic micro-four-thirds. See my sig-line.

Weight of Photo Gear You Walk With

apache wrote:

Hi everyone,

What about you?

:D

As noted in my sig-line, my two cameras, six lenses, and bag come -- altogether! -- to less than six pounds. But usually I leave four lenses and the bag in the car, and carry two cameras with lenses, using a dual-camera strap. Which two lenses varies according to what I'm experimenting with. This week it's the Summilux 25mm (dangling by my right hand) and the Panasonic 45mm macro lens (dangling by my left hand). Next week, who knows?

Panasonic GX1 Cannot Set Text Stamp for Some Pictures. Why?

I have a Panasonic Lumix GX1 camera. I recently wanted to date-stamp some photos to document behavior. When I tried to set a date-stamp on my test photo I got an error message "Cannot Be Set on This Picture." That's not a particularly enlightening message.

Can anyone here tell me what conditions must be met to set a text stamp with this camera. The user's manual tells me how to set one, but doesn't give any parameters for why it doesn't work on some photos. Thanks.

Lenses: Cheap, Used and Third Party

You might investigate picking up an FD lens (Canon) or the equivalent Nikon lens. Something that'll be cheap because it wasn't designed for Digital Cameras. Then look at getting a conversion kit so you can use that old, "out of date" lens on your digital camera.

This camera will NOT make files that are as enlargeable as my Sony A7R, but I don't care. It WILL make beautiful 16 x20 s.

Hi, Ol,

See my own comment earlier in this discussion about using Alien Skin Software's Blowup program to make oversize prints from M4/3 cameras.
