I like the halo effect, but puzzled- what do you mean by 'the clouds that should be behind the moon and not visible...' You're never going to find Earthly clouds behind the moon!

Great stuff! Shows the difference between just 'looking', and actually seeing.

My own experience is that IS is great at correcting for low frequency movement such as when hand-holding, but higher frequencies produced by machinery vibration will transmit through a tripod, and defeat it. On a ship, better to lean yourself against something, or rest your arm against a rail, and hand-hold. Otherwise a small bean-bag or rolled-up towel helps

Hello,
Just bought my first DSLR..Nikon D-3300. I used to shoot film years ago. I only have the kit lens..18-55mm.
I need a second lens..telephoto. I shoot mainly outdoors, nature, landscape, etc. From my research I see a large selection
and "price differences." Want to buy a good lens, but don't want to break the bank. The biggest bang for the buck.
Don't want to buy a 200mm max and then wish I bought a 300mm or 400mm.
What would you recommend I buy.
Thank you...

In your situation the biggest bang for your buck would be a refurb or used Tamron 150-600 or Sigma contemproary. Little to choose between them.

Street, landscapes? Forget the 50. As for the others, always remember, if you can't get close enough to frame properly, you can crop and still get something. If you can't get far enough away to frame something, you don't get the image. So for your light weight lens, I'd go for the 23mm. Personally, the 24-120 makes more sense, but heavier!

You might just get an image with a 10 stop filter, 500 to 600mm lens at f22, S1/4000-8000 with a DSLR. The sensor of a DSLR will be OK providing you don't use live view (that will literally smoke it!), but even with the filter, if you look directly through the viewfinder, you stand a VERY high possibility of permanent central retinal damage. Don't do it! Proper solar filters transfer much less light -and heat.

I am hesitant to comment but Jerry, I think it's sexy. The model is gorgeous that doesn't hurt the look.
My wife of 39 years agrees with the look- won't let me shave!

Other replies are all basically correct. The Brits wear these en masse before and during the period around Armistice Day which is November 11. In the States, as a member of the American Legion, I get one in the mail each year, but here we wear them before and around Memorial Day in May. The big difference is that in the UK where I go on business, well over half the people on the street are wearing these to commemorate their war dead. Here, we don't hardly see them worn around Memorial Day.
Absolutely correct- still a big thing here, quite rightly. Currently 100th anniversary of huge losses. Here's a couple of photos of ceramic poppies installed at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a year ago. Part of an amazing installation at the tower of London which then toured the country: http://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/history-and-stories/tower-of-london-remembers/about-the-installation/#gs.39DXAZA

I sent this to my Mom..phones are banned at her table. She is a retired high school principle that knows how to enforce zero tolerance. Someone told me once that smart phones are the opium dens of the 21st century.
That must be why there's such a huge reduction in drug and alcohol use among the youngsters in the UK these days!

Just for the record, if I am mistaken, I regard it as courteous and respectful to be politely corrected. I'm here to learn!

My understanding is that WWI pilots in combat needed full power in combat, so the throttles were pushed forward all the way. The throttles were capped with balls, and they were pushed forward toward the firewall, hence "balls to the wall".
That sounds more likely. In the UK, the phrase is 'balls out' - which of course fits with the steam engine governor.

Bottom Line: It's about showing up and participation, not what you're wearing. Anyone who wants to put people down for their dress needs to learn what respect is really about!! Remember, Jesus hung out with the POOR, not the Kings or the wealthy. Certain attire was not a requirement!!
Get it????
Get it????
Absolutely! I don't get God at all, but I really get Jesus. Unfortunately many so-called Christians act like they've forgotten most of Jesus' work and examples.

Being old doesn't mean you're good, and being young doesn't mean you're bad.
Absolutely true. I'm constantly impressed by local youngsters- polite, helpful, much less prone to moaning when things don't go their way. Most entitled moaners I come across are middle aged and older.
I think some people here should try engaging with youngsters with respect and an open mind- they might get a surprise.
