I have lowered the price of this lens ($200.00) I want to get rid of it, but this is as low as I go. It’s a new Sigma15-30mm3.5-4.5 DG Aspherical lens- Nikon mount. I have used it twice on my deck just to see what it can do, I was pleasantly surprised. I put it away and forgot about it, that was a couple years ago. To good to be sitting around doing nothing.
Shipping would be about $30.00, I'll take American money, as of this morning $1 US= $1.02 Cdn

Thanks Archy

Nice Pics Erv, I think the band on their leg are from a tagging operation some where. When you find a dead one of these birds, who ever did the tagging wants you to contact them and let them know where you found the bird, something to do with checking their range on where they live.
Don't feed them!!

Thanks Don, did you work at Cominco? The 4 bars in the Gulch are all closed now, 2 burnt down, Rex closed down, Trail Hotel boarded up. Times change but the memories live on, My 1st beer in a bar, underage (17)- Rex Hotel.
That was a very different time (1975), no one ever got hurt.
Thanks for yor reply

Took this on Sunday the 7th. This again is part of my old stomping grounds. Growing up in Warfield BC we called it Table Top Mtn, but the real name is Talus Hill, 3000 ft above sea level. Looking towards Castlegar, (north). There was a fair amount of smoke from forest fires down in Washington St (6 miles south) drifting north today.

I have had NX2 for a number of years now and have used it just for the basics. I found on Youtube some tutorials and decided to dive into NX2 a little deeper. All but one of the tutorials I have figured out and am highly impressed of what Capture can do. But the one I am having trouble with is batch processing. When I open the folder palette for all the images on my hard drive all the files are there but when I click on them nothing happens. I can go to the file on the desktop, click on the folder, select an image and open it on NX2 with no problem but I cannot open the whole folder. Help Please

Nikon Questions

I’m learning something new daily with NX2 but I’m stuck on this one. I’m trying to do some batch processing. When I open NX2 and click on the folder palette all the files are there but when I double click on any one of them nothing happens. Am I missing a step or have I down something wrong. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Cold weather, solution Captain Morgan, hot.
I think it's a great idea, Wedding outdoors in the winter,right on. How cold does it get in Toledo in December, I know in my neck of the woods it can get bitterly cold. Remember thats why they invented jackets.

Thanks it is a pretty good pub story also.
Lesson learned was ' If some one is better at something than you DON"T question their actions'

This might be hard to believe but it did really happen. About 25 years ago at this spot on the old rail grade that use to go from the mines in Rossland BC, to the smelter in Trail, BC (5 miles). My dad’s dog Max (German Shorthair Pointer) and I where out hunting grouse one fall, Max is off to me left doing what they do best and I walk around this small bend and there on the road is a grouse, so I lift the shotgun, shot the grouse and Max comes running, I can see the grouse laying on the road. I point to Max which way to go. So off he goes hell bent for leather and runs right past the dead Grouse. Well I start swearing and calling him ever stupid name I could think of. When I walk to the grouse and pick it up and just I had finished putting it in the game bag Max shows up, as I’m still calling him the stupidest hunting dog on the planet I notice that he has a live Franklin Grouse in his mouth. He stops beside me to give me the grouse, and I take it from his mouth feeling well a little guilty, say good dog as he releases the bird and off he goes looking for more. Now I got this live grouse in my hands, what do I do now. Thought about ringing it’s neck, no, so as I could feel this bird heart beating a mile a minute, I figure it’s had a hard enough day today, so I let it go. Now when a grouse flies it’s wings make a lot of noise, so just after I let it go back comes Max looking for the noise that he knows all to well, so I point in some random direction and off he goes.
I have often wondered did he know what I did, and did I imagine the look he gave me. Well we saw a few more grouse that day, I didn’t take the gun off my shoulder. True story

Where I learnt a valuable lesson

Thanks

Thanks Erv :-)
