I think it may be helpful in those instances when prolonged shutter time, increased or decreased depth of field is wanted, such as flowing water, more or less bokeh, to show motion or freeze action. Beginners, especially, can get a general idea of what settings to change to get desired effects in their photos. Even some experienced photographers who are trying a different style or genre of photography may get inspiration from seeing a photo and the settings used to obtain a similar image.

We are due to see the upcoming total eclipse soon. I am interested in getting a few shots of it. I have no knowledge concerning the filter required to do this. I don't wont to spend a lot of money since this will probably be a one time thing. I would appreciate any advise or information. Thanks.

I did that not as a kid, but as an adult with my two older boys. The train came by and the pennies were flattened and elongated and flew off the track. I think we spent nearly 15 minutes looking for them. I have no idea what becaome of them.
Also have used the machines that squash a penny, for my grandsons. Not sure if they still have them.

For those of us who still have it..... 
It is amazing that "common sense" is not that "common." Logic is also lacking in the majority of the world's population.

Obviously, all those yoga poses are AI conceived, the human body just does not bend into those positions without excruciating pain and permanent disfigurement. Not to mention that with many the body is disfigured prior to even trying to attain the pose.

Hello,
I have a Nikon N2000 35mm camera and I was going to pair it with one of my telephoto lenses (Sigma 200-600mm) or (Nikon 70-200mm) lens for the Solar Eclipse that is coming in April.
My question: I'm not sure which type of film to use for this setup, and what kind of polarizer should I use. Honestly, I don't even know if this would even work. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nick.

I made an attempt to photograph a partial eclipse with a film camera many years ago. I did not hve the proper filter and that is the reason, I truly believe, that created a problem with my camera. I plan to try again in April but with an appropriate filter. I ordered and received glasses and filters from Amazon. They have a variety of the glasses and a few fold up filters to attach to a telescope or telephoto lens. Check the diameter of your objective lens so you get a filter that will fit properly. The delivery was quick and the prices were very reasonable. I suggest you invest a few dollars and get them to protect your eyes and your camera.

Ok, LaPlata is a nice little spot in the road, but I’ve been through there many times by highway (parallel to the railroad) and I wouldn’t make a special trip just to see the museum and eat at the restaurant. Although maybe big city folks find us country folks quaint and the get a thrill out of it.
Maybe another enjoyable portion of the trip is viewing the countryside travelled through. The only trains I've ridden, and can remember, were the slow moving tourist ones that traverse a short predetermined local course. I have often thought a train trip across the country may be enjoyable, if I could have the opportunity to stop and stay a night or two at various places along the way.

Because there will soon be a solar eclipse with a path of totality that will be very close to us, my wife and I both would like to see it. In preparation for the event I made purchase of special eclipse filter glasses for us and special filters for my cameras. Today to experiment and practice geting an exposure of the sun, I placed a filter on one camera and took the attached photo of the bright sun.
The photo is not perfect, far from it, but I wanted to get an idea of starting exposure settings. I think I am close but will need a bit more practice and experimenting. The attached image is SOOC except cropped closely and saved as a jpeg for posting here. It was not easy aiming and centering, That will improve as I practice, I hope.

I cannot say I have seen any scammers posting, but I have noticed a few ads that seem to be more "click bait" than a legitimate advertisement.

I prefer to keep mine looking "natural".... (show quote)
I think of myself as a realistic photographer. Therefore, I post process my photos to make them appear as I truly believe the scene appeared when I pressed the shutter button. Once in a while, I may experiment with a not so good photo to see if I can make it into something that may be liked and appreciated by others. That isn't done very often.

I have Sciatic nerve compression to both legs.
You probably have done so, but have you consulted with a neurosurgeon regarding possible surgery to relieve the nerve compression? I had sciatic pain for several years had tried many varied treatments and therapies and finally complained enough to get referred to a neurosurgeon. St. Patricks day, 2020, I had a laminectomy with fusion (removed a disc and put in two rods with four screws) of my lower back. I've been so much more comfortable since. I can walk more and without pain. I was 72 at the time. I do not know your age but is not too late to get relief from debilitating pain. Best of luck.
