All great shots have a story behind them.

If someone gets a great shot of a Kestrel, Kingfisher or Bobcat ect. , I would like to know the story behind HOW they got it and what they used - and the exif would be nice also - especially as it pertains to the story - that is IF the poster could find time enough in his busy day to divulge this info !? .....

You pronounce it your way and I'll pronounce in in Southern. When I was a kid almost no one used the "shire" part.

I grew up in Kentucky across the river from Cairo Illinois - pronounced Caro. Then not too far away was New Madrid, Missouri pronounced as New Mad rid.

Okay. Not using the original pronunciation is nothing to worry about. When I go to KAYro, I’ll wave to you in New MADrid.

We are more than two countries divided by a common language. I’ll go have a drink at the bubbler before I have a grinder for suppah.

Another funny one - during WW1, the towns in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts changed the official pronunciation of their names to BERlin to avoid being confused with that place in Germany. I also enjoy my Liberty Cabbage and Freedom Fries. 😜

Actually I wonder how you improve your photography by looking at other people settings? I really want to learn your approach to learning.

Duh... Jeeze man. If I one were in a similar situation as the poster of a beautiful image including that information, it maybe helpful for a novice like me to improve my photography, could that not be beneficial? But, if Pro's like you want to be snarky, that's OK too!😊 You and I have been at it on it on another thread, why can't you just let it go man?

Ah, but I am 2000 miles away in Corona, CA.
So you will get a drink at the water fountain, then eat a submarine sandwich for dinner.
In the south we usually said breakfast, lunch and dinner but often called it supper esp if mentioning it alone.

I’m a serious amateur linguist. The differences in American regional language, pronunciation, and usage are really incredible.

There are more than a dozen regional words for a “long sandwich” alone. Ever had a Spucky, Wedge, or Eyetalian?

Andy and Robert seem to think this topic is boring enough to hijack, but I appreciate your finding my question. I'll follow up in a private message.

There is a difference between following natural drift and hijacking. Why don’t you return is to the topic?

I to wondered why the EXIF data isn’t given, but then realized that this sight isn’t set to automatically give the info like some sights do.

The data does help when looking at photos, you can learn from what lenses and focal length was used along with appeture combto get a certain look. By studying the photos and data you can get a sense of what you are doing right or wrong. It gives a person a jumping off point to start long exposures, maybe moon shots, sports. We all needed to start somewhere, maybe you were given some basic settings and told to experiment from there.
