April 14 was our local papers last delivery via paper "boys" it is now going to come in the mail so won't be ready for me to read till the end of the day. Been starting my mornings reading the paper over my cereal and tea for close to 50 years, no more. I chose to go digital, at least the news is not old news by the time I read it. It was a slow death, first they stopped the local press and started coming out of Indianapolis, so suddenly you didn't get the sports from the night before, you get it from two days ago because for them to get the paper printed and down to Bloomington, they go to press too early. They say that instant media is their downfall but when they responded not by figuring out how to get the news sooner, they started taking even longer. Bad business plan.

Would love to find a Minox one, it was even smaller, used 8 mm.

I have one my father bought, he passed before I was 3. In high school I did use it for my vacation camera and I snuck it into the factory I was working and got some cool shots of work and metal sparks from grinders etc.

The filters I use for solar are 100K ND. You cannot see through them. Only sunlight or an arc welder should be able to be seen through them. You don't want to burn out your sensor, it is not worth it.

After seeing the great results a 1" sensor can give you, I picked up a Sony RX100 vi for my travel camera, gives me a 24 to 200 lens and flash. Has all the settings of my a7ii and a6500. It is a complete camera bag that fits into my pocket.

When I started photography in the 1970's, I went and still continue to shoot more like a newspaper photographer operating out of a bag. The bag on my shoulder, the camera strap wrapped around my hand. When done shooting the whole thing goes back in my bag. In thinking about it, I rarely have it around my neck, even if I'm only carrying one camera, it usually ends up hanging off my shoulder, if security is an issue it will be bandolier style across my chest.

I like the three. I always seem to go for odd numbers in my composition.

I use a big zoom, 200-600, so zoom out to find then zoom in.

Just a work crew, the ship was able to notify the bridge and they shut down traffic on it so there was no cars on the bridge at the time of collision, they just couldn't get the work crew off fast enough.

That one doesn't bother me, it is the singing about diabetes and your A1. That and St Judes and the abused pets commercials.

Started with a rangefinder camera, had SLR's, twin lenses, and now a mirrorless. The only thing I prefer the SLR for is manual focus with the old school fresnel/split cirlce, with the mirrorless, I'm able to see what the finished photo will look like with the settings I'm using, for most shots (not long exposures).

me too

They invented punch bowls centuries ago.

I carry a Sony RX100 VI, slips into my pocket, 1" sensor, 24-200 zoom, and flash.

Nice shots. Does Purdue have an extension up in Westville? Just where is this sculpture park at?
