A number of years ago, we were in Vegas. I bought something but was 1 cent short in correct change. So, I added a Canadian penny. It was refused by the cashier. I had give her a $20 bill. A penny!!! I couldn't believe it.

The crystal was a gift, so I do not know the brand. The photo is basically SOC, perhaps a bit of sharpening, but I don't remember for certain. Again, I don't remember, but I suspect that I used the kit lens.

Around the 3:30 mark, a jet is flying right to left and climbs to the top left corner of the screen towards the Hyperhead logo. Just as it "hits" the logo, the pilot does a roll as if the logo caused it. Maybe it's just me, but I found it amusing.

Having the camera with me, seeing something fantastic, and being in such awe or shock or whatever and forgetting to take a shot.

Once I started doing macro photography, my photos using other lenses improved. Macro involves looking at small details and, once learned, this can then be passed on to other photo types. If you don't have a macro, practise just looking at small things up close to see details. It worked for me, but not necessarily for you or others. Just a thought.

Many years ago, I knew a guy who worked for a gas company. He told me that he and others would conference call and set the prices. He also said that he would deny it if asked.

I just got this a few minutes ago:

Mine updated about 2 weeks ago. Many programs are messed up. Haven't found anything missing, though.

Another option would be a book on photos. That would be my preference. I learn from other people's work.

I contacted Flickr about this. Here, in part, is the response:

Free members with more than (a combination of) 1,000 photos or videos uploaded to Flickr have until Tuesday, January 8th, 2019 to upgrade to Pro or download content over that limit. After January 8th, 2019, members over the limit will no longer be able to upload new photos to Flickr. After February 5th, 2019, for free accounts that contain over 1,000 photos and/or videos, we will begin actively deleting content from your account starting from oldest to newest date uploaded to meet the new limit.

It's early morning and I am still a bit blurry eyed. I first read your question as "Less" purchase advice and I was going to reply with "marry my wife". LOL

What? Skip the poutine? Unthinkable!!

No comment.

I have been to NS dozens of times and I still have not seen everything that I would like. There is just so much to see. The other suggestions made are excellent. I have one more to add. Take the minor highways and backroads, especially east of Halifax/Dartmouth to Cape Breton. Fantastic scenery and beaches.

I have the 10-20 and love it.
