Planning to take the CAT from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth Nova Scotia in later May/ early June. Going to be driving around in NS. Will be there for 5 (five) days only . What are the places to go ? Is PEI and Halifax around driving range and can it all be done in just 5 days ? Taking my R5, 100-500, RF800, 100 RF Macro, 5DIV, 16-35 f4. Interested in photographing birds, nature and landscapes like coastal sceneries. Also let me know places where to stay and food joints. Thank you.
Yes, Cape Breton and Cabot trail, Peggy's Cove, etc. But in the neighboring New Brunswick is another interesting place for photographers: Hopewell Rock provincial park. Have o good and safe trip!

I stand corrected.
Russia was protectorate over eastern Ukraine by 1654 and slowly began annexation by 1689.
Catherine the Great conquered western Ukraine and Crimea in 1783.

Western Ukraine is far from Crimea. Part of Western Ukraine was annexed by Russian Empire after the several partitions of Rzeczpospolita (Poland and Lithuania) between Prussia, Austria, and Russia in 1793-1795.
You are right. Catherine II did conquer not only Crimea, but some territory near Black and Azov seas.

Ukraine has long been the breadbasket of Europe, going back to ancient Greece.
Russia has always coveted ownership of Ukraine. For grain and for a warm water seaport.
After several failed attempts, Catherine the Great was the first Russian ruler to successfully invade Ukraine (Crimea), in 1783.
Russia has considered Ukraine to be its rightful territory ever since.
Putin is merely taking back Russia's property.

Really ?
Ukrainian people asked Russian tsar Alexis to be their ruler in 1654. Crimea always was a part of Ottoman Empire. In XVIII century Russian Empire captured and annexed Crimea. Then it was a part of Russian Federation. In 1954 Khrushchev transferred Crimea to Ukrainian SSR.

What I have learned is that Russia does not want Ukraine to join NATO and have weapons directly pointing at them. I suppose the western democracies would feel the same if a nation next to them allowed ' Warsaw pact' forces on their borders. Look at what happened when Cuba allowed Soviet missiles to be stationed there, we came close to having a Nuclear war!
Unfortunately, when it comes to politics, people like you or srg are tiny minority. Majority of the people on both sides of the pond would believe in any BS from the mass-media. They don't remember Caribbean crisis 1962. They even don't remember "Wag the dog" movie from 1997.

I'm new to the board after buying a Nikon D3300. Very happy with the camera and 18-105 lens but want to pick up a "Cheap" (less than $100) flash. I'm an old Nikon FE owner who had a Vivitar flash back in the day.
Hi Will,
Look for a Neewer flash for Nikon at B&H. Several years ago I've bought Neewer Speedlite 750II for my D5100 and I like it.

Try Fastone image viewer (and pretty good editor)
It reads Canon cr2, cr3, Panasonic RAW and adobe DNG to my knowledge. In the list of read formats includes Nikon and Sony raw amongst several others but I haven't tested those.
And its free

Yes, it works well with the Nikon's NEF files

[quote=Architect1776]I have friends in Russia and I asked this question and this is what I got back.
Very enlightening. Translated from Russian.
"Russians are citizens of the Russian Federation - Tatars, baškíri, kalmyks, uyghurs,...
If you like reading like this, I would recommend you the books by Adolf Hitler and Alfred Rosenberg.
