Despite our rising national debt, there is less interest on the debt than in 1995.
That is interesting. I didn't know that the national debt was 4.9 trillion 1995. That means that Pres. Bill Clinton cleared that in 5 years. He balanced the budget with a slight surplus. Pres. Bush raised it higher by going to war, rebuilding Iraq, and Home Security expenses. Pres Obama brought the troops home, and it was raised even higher than ever. Now the national debt is up to about 20 trillion dollars. And growing each year. Never will we see a balanced budget as we had in the year 2000. Higher interest rates?

Between these lenses for hiking
If you are going to the Rockies in Colorado, you want a good telephoto, 70-200mm 2.8 and a semi-wide zoom, 17-55mm 2.8. New Mexico can be windy and dusty sometimes. Change lenses cautiously. Enjoy your trip.

Viking Boat Comes to America
The Vikings did a lot of conquering with those ships. I'll have to show these photos to someone I know here from Minnesota. He says he is a descendant of Old Norway.

Honoring Those Who Served
Yes. It was a good idea to hang them high up. The vandals will destroy anything honoring our military. The Vietnam Memorial in DC has been vandalized in past years. Volunteers always come to the rescue to clean up.

Fuji Medium Format camera announced
I wonder will Canon dabble in Medium Format? They are gambling with mirrorless now. A new model M5 just being released.

Sony A99ii was introduced today
That was an immediate introduction. I thought the Sony a68, a crop sensor, would be the very last of the A-mount cameras..The first a99 was a good camera. Manufacturing both A-mount and E-Mount lenses is something that Sony feels they can handle. I guess. Sony's mirrorless E-mount lenses were rising to the occasion with some excellent Zeiss and G-series type glass.

Nikon D5500 first photos
I remembered your post when you first received your two new toys. Those are some beautiful captures, especially the first oak tree. The 18-140mm lens was a good choice. Better than an 18-55mm. The 18-140mm lens may still be a kit lens to the D7200. Enjoy.

New England Patriots Win Two Straight Games Without Tom Brady
The Denver Broncos are also 2-0 without Peyton Manning. The Patriots goal has already been achieved. 2 games won. And when Brady and Gronkowski return, the Patriots only expect to lose 2 of the next 12 games. That results in a regular season record of 12-4. Not bad.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH5 with 4K/60p under development
I read about this camera in an article some days ago. The GH4 is an excellent camera. The GH3 is now discontinued. The GX8 is still going strong. The GH5 should be a big hit in those loving mirrorless. Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic are better developing mirrorless. I am curious about Canon's new APS-C M5 mirrorless camera that is in the release stage.

Considering full frame camera
CO wrote:
From now on I will only purchase cameras that don't have an anti-aliasing filter in front of the sensor. I recently purchased a Nikon D500 (no AA filter) and did comparison shots with someone who has a D750 (has AA filter). The D500 clearly produces photos that are sharper than photos from the D750. All of the photos were processed the same way for consistency. I noticed that also when I rented the D7200 (no AA filter) and compared shots with my D7000 (has AA filter). The D7200 produced slightly sharper images. I used the same lenses on the cameras to make sure any differences seen were not due to different lenses.

If I would go for full frame now I would purchase a D810. Its replacement is supposed to be released in the fall.

Interesting that you mentioned AA filters. My crop sensor camera has an AA filter. I have heard pro and con on this subject. You tested sharpness between a D7000 vs a D7200, and you concluded the D7200 was sharper. Could it be that the D7200 has +8 megapixels?

1955 Corvette
Nice shot taken with the Sony RX10III. I love the all white paint color. 1953 was the first Corvette as already mentioned. My father told me that Chevy shocked everyone, including Ford Motors, when they came out with a 265 cu in V8 engine in 1955.

Don't Rush Your Flu Shot
I get a Flu shot every year. In past years I have gotten the flu after receiving the shot. The vaccine is a medical guess of various strains I have been told. I also take a 500mg vitamin C tablet daily before breakfast to help maintain my immune system. Some say vitamin C is not good for colds and some say they are. I'll keep taking them regardless.

Help with Sony 70-200mm
That's some very expensive gear you dropped. One must be more careful.

Tamron 24-70
Pro photographer Matt Granger says it is a pro lens of quality. The price is good too. About $1300 now at B&H the last time I checked.
