German Shepherd... started with 2 & have 4 currently... (foster for a local German Shepherd Rescue) they keep me in sight at all times... As a woman photographing alone, they give me tremendous piece of mind... I can concentrate on my photography & not worry about being surprised by anything or anyone... they've got my back!

Upgraded my iMac ( circa 2009 ) 2 weeks ago, no problems.... I have always waited a few months to upgrade after every new OS, never immediately after release.... my iMac is still performing flawlessly.

Beautiful.... agree with vignette & making the bulb centered.... Merry Christmas!

I recall reading somewhere that she uses Mamiya Cameras....

I have never had anything stolen, granted the only piece of photographic equipment I ever packed into checked bags is my tripod, (there is always the very real possibility of theft) however my primary concern has always been for the safety of my gear. Judging by the amount of suitcases I've had to replace over the years due to the abuse they suffered by baggage handlers I simply don't wish to take a chance with my camera, lenses etc...

My thought has always been keep my gear with me as carry on. Better safe than sorry, why tempt fate?

In Texas, I take my German Shepherd Dogs with me..... they are trained well enough to not pose threats to wildlife/people/pets etc.... the peace of mind their company provides me is priceless.... I can concentrate on & enjoy photography .... when traveling, hubby insists on being my backup.... he is stoic, brings a book & never complains....

So VERY True!

Depends on how you quantify photography..... with the progression of mobile technology more people are making images and posting them online via a myriad of platforms available ..... inevitable snapshots and selfies aside, I would answer a resounding NO!....... one only has to visit sites like 500px to see that photography is alive & well.

FINALLY! A fellow hogger put voice to my thoughts......THANK YOU sulli009!!

While I didn't buy the camera for it, I have played around with video.... My results were less than remarkable by a long shot.... It wasn't the fault of the camera... Echo the sentiments of an earlier post and will happily leave video to the more experienced.....

I rarely go shooting without my German Shepherd dogs..... I rarely go into urban areas.... Preferring to stick to the countryside & parks.... Truth be told I take the dogs with me for fun & excercise... Not as protection per say... They are both well trained and obedient... Thankfully have low prey drive so recalls from a rabbits & squirrel distractions are instantaneous..... I teather them to my belt on 15 ft lunge lines and they are happy to lay or sit beside me while I set up & shoot....if anyone approaches us it's because of the dogs, they never fail to attract people & get compliments...... I prefer my dog's company to most people!

Outstanding! Absolutely Beautiful! Well Done!👍👍👍

I started with Lightroom 1 up to present CC... Loved it when it first came out, love it even more now! Never had a problem with it that I didn't cause... Yes, there is a learning curve,( albeit nothing like learning Photoshop ) it is a remarkable tool that I would be lost without.
