Excellent pics! If you want to save a BUNCH of $$, make the adapter. Check out EYES ON THE SKY for a DIY version of the camera holder that you can make for about $5 in about 30 minutes. http://eyesonthesky.com/

The fighting today was fierce...A Civil War Battlefield story in pictures.

It's easy to do. Did my Masters and Doctoral work at Vandy, worked at Tn. Youth Center at Joelton and was on faculty at MTSU. Still have a few friends in Nashville.

Clear skies and good shootin',

Without a doubt! In 2013, I retired after 45 years of practice in Psychology. I often wonder what is the average IQ score of these liberals.

Stopped by a Cop

FWIW, I once had a Tennessee Highway Patrolman tell me that over 75% of headlight law violators are also driving impaired (alcohol and/or other drugs).

OK. Unfortunately, there are a lot of "Toms" and I SURELY did not want to be associated with that article.

Well stated!

Dirtpusher,

I'm beginning to understand why you usually only post links. Your butchering of the English language is, indeed, laughable and atrocious.

low key dogs

My avatar is my black Puggle (Pug/Beagle mix). No trouble on distant shots; just difficult with close-ups. Trouble getting good details. You did a great job on your dogs.

Good shots and great dogs. I've had more problems photographing black and Landseer Newfoundlands and Labs than with white dogs or black & white like my current Lab mix and my recently demised Border Collie mix.
