I own two DJI drones and in my opinion they are among the best drones out there. Just know that if you buy any drone you will be restricted as to where you can fly it, and if you want to use it to take photos to sell, you must have an FAA pilots license at a cost of $150 and pass a fairly difficult test.

Why would you not try to sell photos taken with a drone? I don't understand.


You have to have an FAA pilots license before you can use a drone for commercial use, there are heavy fines if you get caught.

Drones are a great tool to get some stunning shots that you couldn't get any other way, as long as you don't try to sell those shots. You have to have a pilots license to be able to do that. There are hefty fines from the FAA if you get caught and the test to get a license is almost as difficult as getting an airplane license.

Good morning, I've tried all the precision links looking for HP 3755 and HP4620 ink cartridges. Is there a better link to see there products?

I have a Canon ProGraf iPF6400 24 inch and have used Ink Owl ink for the past 3 years with no ill effects, about half the cost of Canon ink.

I have the Sigma 24-105 Art lens that I keep on a Nikon Z6 just for mostly landscape shots, a fantastic lens.

I to had a Nikon D750 and started having issues with the weight of it and the Tamron 150-600 lens for wildlife photos. After much research I decided on the Olympus EM 1 Mark ll when it first came out. I have since purchased the Olympus 12-100 F4 pro lens and the Olympus 300mm F4 pro lens, along with a Panasonic/Leica 100-400 zoom. Thinking I still may need a FF camera, about a year ago I purchased a Nikon Z6 so I could still use my Sigma 24-105 art lens and the Tamron 150-600 G2. All of that equipment stays home and the Olympus is my go to camera. I regularly print 16x20 prints and could go larger if needed. The Olympus made going out and shooting fun again.

I have been shooting with the Olympus EM1 Mark ll for 5 years now and I love this camera, and Olympus and others have great deals on this camera now. I paid $2,000 for mine and Olympus is offering it for $799.00 now. You won't be sorry.

Wow, that's quite the job, congrats. That's *two* prints of the size you describe, right? The historical vs now? Did you do the mounting? How was it achieved ('cuz it looks really clean)...


yes they are both the same size, the view of the old vs new is 100 years apart, the old photo was done as a pano and the new was also done as a pano. The library maintenance folks did the mounting.

Are metal prints durable in exterior locations subjected to rain and sun? If so, would like recommendations of place that does quality work.


I just had a print done for a local library that is mounted on an outside wall of their building. The print is 28 inches by 10 feet, and printed on aluminum. The printer said it should last for years, but would last longer if it was sprayed with a automotive clear coat. The printer was Artisan HD (https://artisanhd.com/) and they did an excellent job. The pictures are the same view taken 100 years apart.

A bunch of my friends have sworn off TV news. They can't take it any more. I, on the other hand, am glued to it. It's like a train wreck where you can't look away. Oh wait a minute... it IS a train wreck.


This is a history documentary, has nothing to do with tv news.

Did anyone see The Discovery Channel's show about the last known photo of President Abraham Lincoln on his death bed. The photo was an "amber type" done by two brothers just before Lincoln passed, and the whole show revolved around this lady investigator trying to authenticate the photo. A very interesting show. You should still be able to find it in the Discovery channel listings.

I am an old IT guy and am starting work on a Linux Mint machine and am fairly new to Linux.

Looking around there are not a lot of options for processing software. And Faststone doesn't have a Linux version.

So I am wondering what folks are using, other than GIMP, for photo processing in Linux Mint.

Is there a forum here somewhere for this that I didn't see?


I have been a Linux user for more than 30 years now and for the last 7 years a Linux Mint user. I have heard all the negative stuff from folks that mainly say they are to old or don't have time to learn something new. When I retired six years ago, I really started to work more on my photography and it never occurred to me to use anything but Linux to process my images. There are so many programs to choose from in Linux that this is one of the problems most folks have. They come from a system that gives them one choice for a browser or a video player and when they get to choose one from several, they are a little over whelmed. So, since you don't have to pay for Linux packages, you install one and try it, if it's not to your liking, you remove it and try another. I don't have any issue recommending programs like Darktable, Raw Therapee, Digikam, and Gimp, I use them everyday and even use two windows programs, Smart Photo Editor, and Photo Matix, running under wine. So, Linux Mint is free to install and use, the programs are free to install and use, what have you got to lose except some of your time to learn something new. And the benefit of no virus software, no blue screen of death and no payment to "use" a system that you don't own, is a plus. Oh, and I use an Olympus 4/3 camera also, I'm just a different bird. LOL.
