Very odd indeed!

You can edit either type of photo but jpg's will not take heavy editing - i.e. as when you are way over exposed or vise versa. There isn't enough data in a jpg for that kind of recovery or editing. But as far as doing things like color grading, slight exposure changes, sharpening, replacing a sky, spot removal or cloning, jpg's work fine.

I got bit by a garter snake. That's something I'll never forget. When someone says it's "harmless", don't believe it! Even though it won't kill you and doesn't have a venomous bite, it can still bite, and it fricken hurts!

Very nice, both the bike and her....

I've had the Pixma Pro 9000 and it became unreliable. If I put a book on the top cover it worked but if not, it had some kind of error message and wouldn't print. I upgraded to the Pixma Pro 100 and it worked fine just like yours. I had it for a few years and I sold it to a friend for $100 and upgraded to the Pro ImageGraph 1000. When it was working, it had the best prints. It was easy to use and control. But it started becoming unreliable and finally quit. I called Canon and they will not repair this model, stating that it would cost more to fix than to replace with a new one. This put a really bad taste in my mouth. It cost about $1300-$1400 new. I have been looking into the Epson P900 now. The reviews tell of a paper feeding issue. Not all, but some seem to have problems with the paper either not catching, or going thru crooked. I have not pulled the trigger yet but I have a ton of ink and very large paper for large prints and it's such a waste.

I went there in 2014 and got many of the same images you got. Excellent. I had a lot of fun there for 15 days on Tip Top IV, a 125 foot yacht...

Blurry!

Some girls shouldn't be models. I think I remember seeing her before in one of your posts where you said that she wanted to be a model but didn't make it. This background is pretty cool though. With the right model wearing the right stuff, it could be awesome. Maybe even if she wore an engineering hat and loose fitting striped overalls with the sides of her breasts peeking thru it might work for her.

I wouldn't say you got a smokin' deal on it but it's ok. You got a new but obsolete camera for a fair price.

Some people may not be able to afford the latest and greatest. So a DSLR that has been reduced in price to get rid of inventory may be very enticing to someone on a fixed income or that is already invested in older lenses.

Wow! I never saw that video before. It came down like the twin towers! What a mess. 1 billion dollars was/is not enough.

They were going to give up driving yesterday. I guess they decided to give it one more day. Hahahahaha

My 55" Panasonic TV is an HD tv without any of the smart TV features. After hanging it on the wall in my new house, it looked too small. I use a FireTV Stick which gives it the smart TV features. But I started wondering what a larger TV would look like on the wall so I bit the bullet and got an 82" Samsung. A friend is coming over later today to help me hang it. I might have to move the bracket up a few inches. It weighs 98 pounds. Ugh! But it's 4k, and Costco delivered it free and they gave me a free 5 year warranty. The first year is by Samsung, the second is by Costco because they double the manufacturers warranty on TV's and most other stuff they sell, and then they gave me a 3 year extended warranty thru Allstate. I don't know when Allstate got into the electronics warranty business, but they've done well for my auto insurance. I hope I never need them but if I do I hope they are as good as they are at car and home owners insurance.
