I did chimp but wasn't paying attention to ISO, just to see if my exposure was not blown out....

:thumbup: I know the feeling!

I am going to try it again.... :thumbup:

:thumbup: you bet Richard!

It seems like every time I pick up my camera, I am learning a new lesson. Today, I got up before daylight to get the good light. I set my camera (Nikon D80) to manual mode which i set the aperture and shutter according to the light. What I forgot to do was to take the ISO off of automatic. I was shooting on a 10-20mm at 125th at f8 in raw. Everything was great till I got home and noticed the pics were grainy. When I checked the ISO it was 1600. It had automatically cranked up the ISO to make up for the amount of light. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed at myself for not noticing that until I got home. With all that said, I took the ISO setting off automatic. I went out to re-shoot the pics late this afternoon and got better results.

There will always be con-artist and they use platforms like Craigslist to take advantage of you. If it's to good to be true, 99% of the time it is. I feel your disappointment.

I was looking on Craigslist in our area and noticed a Nikon D7100 for sale in box, barely used for $380 U.S. dollars. When I inquired about it I got an email that stated it had already been sold but if I contacted their friend, he could direct me to a bidding website. The only way to contact them is by a scrambled email address. I marked ad as prohibited but they run the ad every other day. I assume it was a website that you pay 50 cents every time you bid on an item. I thought it was too good to be true. Has anyone else encountered that kind of problem?

thanks for sharing John, fascinating clip!

Yes, PC with windows

I searched the archives and could not find the answer. A friend of mine wants to move all of her photos from her Ipad to her PC. She wants to keep the photos in the albums but when she tries to transfer the pics, it does not keep them in the albums, it puts them randomly. Does anyone have experience in moving photos and keeping them in the albums? Thanks for your replies in advance....

I live in the very south of Alabama, right on the Gulf of Mexico. During the spring, early March, nets are placed along the beach and they capture hummingbirds as they fly from Mexico and South America. The researchers found that the birds fly across the Gulf of Mexico and travel to the northern states in the US. They nest and lay eggs and in July and August they fly south to the lower states and stay till mid-October. Around the middle of October they make their journey back across the Gulf of Mexico. Generally these the Ruby Red Throats Hummingbirds.

I have never used Kingsoft 2013 but like anything, if its free, it comes with a price (meaning adware). I have used Word 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013, each one takes time to learn. I would recommend WordPerfect which is by Corel. Generally you can go to discount software and buy a CD version for under $20 with no adware, it's has everything Word Office has. OpenOffice is another good program. I would go to C-Net and down load it from there to avoid any third party site trying to put adware on your computer. Good luck!!

Yes, it has very sharp focus.... my lenses now are cheaper and a bit soft.

I am looking for a Nikkor 35-70mm f2.8 with no fog, mold or dust inside. This is an older lens and heavy.

Thanks for the laughs... I love this!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
