For me, the best all-around lens is the 18-140 mm. It couldn't be any sharper and it does a beautiful job with landscapes. The 140 end might be just fine for sports.

I use the little Texas peanuts with skins for peanut brittle. The large skinless one are usually canned or Jared. I haven't bought any in cans in years.

Great shot. About how long was the exposure and what was the ISO, if you don't mind?
The exposure was 143 seconds, ISO 100, f/8. I used a variable neutral density filter with a medium setting but I don't know what. That's what happens when I buy a cheap filter. The street lights were unusually dim so I think I got about the right exposure. It was an extremely bright rocket.
Thanks for asking!

They finally launched Airtimes 1 this morning at close to 2:00 AM. I shot it like I do most night launches but it is seriously over exposed. I have toned it down some. Maybe there is haze or maybe fog on my lens. It was the brightest plume I have ever seen. Quite a sight.

I would say a minimum budget would be a camera with a wide angle lens and a tripod. A speedlight and a remote control would also be useful additions.

Oh, My! Won't this ever stop? There is no right or wrong. I can't stand "shaving foam" water. Others love it. So, you just do whatever you like. Who are you trying to please?

We encountered this machine at a scenic overlook near Carson Pass on CA State highway 88.

That would be Mom's Café in Salina, UT. My wife and I stopped there several times on our way from California to Denver. Delightful.

Cool, how long was the exposure?
The bulb exposure was 135 seconds, a little over two minutes. This is a typical time for a launch.

I finally found an old pic of an annular eclipse. We were on an Indian reservation northeast of Reno, NV. It cost us $5 to park in the desert and take a picture.

I photographed the 2017 eclipse in Cheyanne, WY but I got so involved in photography, I forgot to enjoy the experience! So, don't get carried away like I did. An annular eclipse should probably be shot with a
r filter. I made my own out of filter material and cardboard so I could photograph the partial eclipse and full sun, too. I like thios one because it shows Bailey's Beads. With an annular eclipse, I doubt they will be visible. Go and enjoy!

Funny. I thought UHH was a place to share. I often wonder what settings were used for a particular photo. I think it might be helpful to me in the future. Is it too awful to share our expertise or is this just a place just to brag about the results?

When I looked at it, I thought she had stepped into a pile of cow dung.
