I'll buy the butterflies any day. Lyrical!
If that were my dog, I would hire you to take that portrait. It is exquisite.
I'm with Yodagirl. I'm tired of changes for the sake of changes. I'm tired of spending more time learning a system than using it. I'm tired of brilliant IT programmers who write gee-whiz stuff, but don't have to explain it (used to be called documentation). And I'm tired of producers of little enslaving me by making me pay monthly rent the rest of my life. I want out, too.
I've seen them on TV, converted into Tiny Houses
I like it as is. Says a lot, I think
I love my old film cameras, and I still use them. I love my DSLRs, because for fast moving events they make shots possible which would be impossible on film.... That is true, so long as I can find the settings on the DSLR, but because of their complexity I can't always, and the event gets away from me.
My objections to DSLRs are their astonishingly short shelf lives and lack of repair options: I love my Nikon D70s, but the flawed contacts in the CF slot make them risky to use. That one flaw shelves the D70, sorta like absence of a battery a battery would park a car, even if it only had 20,000 miles on it. Waste.
The other thing, of course, is instant obsolescence, created by new models coming out at the speed of light, and the attendant plunge in value within minutes after purchase.
My old film cameras--some of them 60 or 70 years old--work as well now as when they emerged from the factories, and they can still be repaired. The D70s are mostly shelved, except when I decide to see if I can defy the risk of using them.
Any good quality twin lens reflex--Rollei or Ikoflex. Film camera, of course.
If digital, then Nikon D70, which Nikon won't repair any more (notably, the CF reading error).
Phenomenal sequence!! Were your arms tired from panning so well? Pix are really sharp, particularly given the degree of difficulty!
81 yrs old, still love to camp. Prefer campgrounds with water and toilets. But increasingly, you have to get reservations, in advance, in many campgrounds. Might have to return to the cavalier M.O. depicted in your pictures.
But don't raise their taxes!
The pictures touch me. I live in Phoenix, have visited the foundations left from a camp about 40 miles south of here. I had a friend and coworker whose father (mother was deceased) spent the war in one of the camps and whose older brother served the entire war in that most-decorated Nisei division(s?).
Beautiful! Satin-like texture effect. Keep 'em coming!
KEH is my first, and most often last, stop for any equipment need. In nearly 20 years, involving scores of transactions, I have never--not one time--had a complaint about KEH.
