I did the Reader's Digest version! When I had to do that, it was I that was in a bad humor!!!

I worked as an OR Tech through college. Brings back memories. Of course, back then there was only one disease, (the Black Plague,) and the only cure was to burn the body... Well done set.

WOW! Excellent work!

I have bought 2 lenses from them. One I did not like and sent back - no quality issue; it was just not what I ultimately wanted. Perfect responses with everything.

Egad, man! You have discovered rational thought!!!

Bay Photo. I have done some 60" wide with great results.

I always use chocolate in my chili. That really does add something if you do just enough, but not too much.

Pardon the religious reference - and I mean to criticism to anyone - but we refer it to our "Amish time".

Since we are on the subject, I used my D7100 to record my grandson's Middle School orchestra, in which he is a trombonist. (He very good, but his real interest is in the fact that he can make "cartoon" sounds with it.) Standing in the back, I noticed the same thing. It obviously has nothing to do with the cost of tickets, but paying attention to your kids and grandkids for just 30 minutes or so. Since then, I have become increasingly more sensitive to parents at various restaurants - and it makes no difference whether it is fast food or something more upscale - totally ignoring their kids at mealtime, while the parents diddle with their phones the whole time! How can anyone criticize the children, when the parents are showing them a terrible example of such behavior?!? I am in a business where I have to react by phone immediately, AT TIMES! But after I react to that call or text, the phone goes down and I try to interact with whomever is present. I don't monitor Facebook when I am with other people or in other venues such as are described here.

I typically use a D7100, or sometimes my D300, with a Nikon 80-400mm lens and almost always a tripod. I shoot birds "as a hunter", or any other animals I see. ISO is usually at 320, but it and other settings are all over the place, depending upon the setting and subject.

Last year, the regular driver rang the bell and when I answered, he offered to hand me the keys to his truck. He said he would be able to come back in about 3 hours if i wanted.
