One of the best things about picking up a camera is what it does to how we see things, like these remarkable images you have captured, and then we get to share them.

Thanks. I'm sure your right about what it's not. Are there cormorants in northern Indiana?

Definitely not a Canada goose. It may be a Cormorant but its really hard to tell for sure from this small an image.

I'm not sure what this bird is, but I liked the way his wing is positioned.

Beautiful shot. Can we have the tech info (equipment, settings, etc.) so we can learn from you?

I'm aware of the antiquity of wind power, but the steel frame tower is 19th century technology.You are strongly under-dating the windmill. History shows wind being used to process corn back when the Pharaohs of Egypt were growing it. Still makes your observation worthwhile. Isn't it ironic that these forms of transmission are "up in the air?" Complete insanity!

I thought this juxtaposition of windmill (19th century tech) electric power transmission tower (20th) and cell tower (21st) made kind of a one shot history lesson.

I really like my Nikon DSLR, but the thing that actually made me choose it over the comparable Canon was that I liked its greater "heft." You might find that the lighter weight Canon would work for you.

I never had a DSLR and really want one but I too have arthritis in my hands and now carpal tunnel, so I am waiting and sticking it out with my 2 month old Nikon P7800.

I didn't have to ask but I sure would like to hear you try to explain it in terms of anything that makes any sense or any benefit to anyone beyond an opportunity to brag about their camera equipment or for those truly maladjusted people, who argue for inferior equipment and brag about getting it at Goodwill. Why don't you go ahead and treat me like I'm totally stupid and explain it to me, pleassssssse!
I think "Raleigh" explained it better than I ever could with his comparison to sitting around the stove at the old general store. If you don't enjoy companionable discussion it's a waste of time; if you do then it is fun. Basically, it makes about as much sense as playing golf or bridge or anything else you do just for fun. Also, I apologize for my less than courteous previous comment, Thank you for your gentle rebuke.

To the "lurker" who wants to know the point of this discussion, If you have to ask there's no point in trying to explain.

Well, let's see. There's my grandfather's 4x5 Graflex that I have used and still own, My mother's fold up Kodak which I took on my first trip anywhere on my own, the Argus C3 (possibly the most rugged non-fixed focus camera ever made) that traveled with me in the Army, the Pentax SLR that served me for the next thirty years, and my current Nikon D3100. They are all favorites, some for great pictures, some for great memories.

Photography WILL change. Many years ago, painters mixed their own paint, stretched their own canvases, and even made their own brushes. Painting didn't die when the first artists' supply store opened and new technology won't kill photography. The artist photographers among us will still create art and the rest of us will still try.
