Those are great!

Thanks for sharing, the audio attachment was great! We get our share of wildlife including bears and mountain lions here in the foothills north of Los Angeles. A few months ago one of our neighbors saw a mountain lion going up our driveway on the way back to the hills. A few days later, the lady next door smelled something bad and called animal control, and they found pieces of a deer scattered around her yard. We're going to start carrying a baseball bat when we take our 16 year old dog out at night. I can't imagine the uproar if I carried my rifle around at night!

Very attractive lady & nice cube! I would've voted for it if it was entered in the Multiple Exposure photo contest that just ended :thumbup:

Very nice, in spite of what my allergies are up to lately. I'm suffering from pollen blight :XD:

That makes sense. :thumbup: :thumbup:

But unfortunately, I'm retired and too busy spending money to save any. Another example, instead of building a barn door tracker, I bought an iOptron SkyTracker for yet another $300.00. Now that I think about it, I could have been buying the 150-600 lens I want :thumbdown: :thumbdown: Oh well, there's aways tomorrow :lol: :lol:

I use the CamRanger with a D5300. The Live View on the camera is disabled, because you get CamRanger's Live View on the device you connect it to wirelessly. I've successfully used my Samsung Galaxy S-4 (Android phone), Kindle Fire HD (Android tablet), my wife's iPad 2, my daughter's newer iPad?, and my 2011 MacBook Pro. The notebook is the best choice for my because of the larger screen. The software for each device is a free download. In the 6 month period since I got it, CamRanger has offered free updated firmware on the unit, and added several other features: http://camranger.com/blog/

That's why it was worth $300.00 IMHO. I use it for hummingbirds and the night sky.

Oops, I just notice you said "unless you are on Bell or a Cable system." I'm online with a cable modem.

The link worked for me, but then I'm only about 45 miles from Ontario, CA. Okay, just messing with you. I'm about 2,020 miles from Ontario, Canada. I used to get sales leads for Ontario, Canada because my company confused it with Ontario, California.

But the link did work here in the Los Angeles suburbs.

Take a look at the CamRanger. I haven't tried time lapse, but I've used it with my Samsung Galaxy phone, Kindle Fire tablet, iPad & MacBook Pro to photograph hummingbirds & for long exposures of various things in the sky. They also have free software to use on PC's and other Android tablets. I have an ac adapter for it, but since the battery life is really great without it, I seldom use it. Good luck with whatever you decide to use.

Thanks! I'll get my butt outside, it's 8:30 here in Southern CA.

Nice, what time are you seeing it? I've been looking for 2 weeks.

I'd been trying to decide between switching to a Mac or upgrading to a better Windows laptop. One of my daughters heard me and gave me the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) we bought her when she was in school. Since she has a PC laptop at work, and uses an iPad & iPhone for everything else, she hasn't used it for awhile.

I maxed the memory (unfortunately it will only take 8 GB), upgraded the operating system to Mavericks (for free) and then to Yosemite (also free) and it works great.

I downloaded Microsoft Office Mac Home and Student 2011 from Amazon for $118.96. I includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Outlook for Mac 2011. I had no problems using spreadsheets from Windows on the Mac. Having tried in the other direction, but everything is supposed to be compatible.

Having used PC's since 1983 I thought there would be a big learning curve switching to the Mac world, but it was really painless.

So my suggestion to Pepper is: Go for the Mac!

Now I need to get some good photo software. I was using Nikon ViewNX 2 and Picasa. I tried Photoshop 10+ years ago and it was to complex to deal with. Suggestions?

Thanks for pointing out the video. It was great and really pulled me into your shooting experience! Then I got pulled into the other photos on your Flicker page. I made it to the cow train and decided to bookmark it for later. Now...as TucsonCoyote asked..tell us more about the redhead..if you can.

No I got too caught up in the pictures and didn't see the link. I'll go check it out now.

I spent a week in ABQ last November. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see that critter. How big is it?
