You and I are free to leave at any time. Obvious. Maybe you argue for the sake of arguing. That is not my purpose. Too bad you are unable to see that.


I have chosen to disagree with you, you have chosen to disagree with all others. Whatever your purpose, the result of your posts is a portrait of a person that not many would want to have a social drink with.

Boys! I OBEY the rules, one they are explained, so stop being ignorant of the events.

YOU and this whole group should be upset that you look like wimps, afraid to follow professional standards. Why would you want a "safe," "attaboy, great work" place only? So needy. It's hard to pick out the ones who really want to be better photographers and learn from and give to them.

Why is that rule so sacrosanct that it cannot be reconsidered? Instead of hateful attacks, it might be better to have a healthy discussion.

If following the rules of an organization that I willingly joined and wanting to get along with fellow members makes me a wimp, then I confess to being a wimp. I joined with my eyes wide open and if after joining I found I disagree with the rules and/or polices I am as free to leave as I was free to join. Arguing with other members for what appears to be the sake of arguing is a juvenile tactic used to get a pat on the head. An “atta boy” if you will.

You are quite wrong--except for here at UHH. It is STANDARD PRACTICE in the "real world" when discussing photos or art, whether in person or in books, to do what is here called "editing."

As a photographer, you might want to know your rights and the rights of others better.


Since this entire thread is about this web site's rules, for UHH members this is the real world. What is accepted, or not accepted, elsewhere is irrelevant. A status that you are rapidly approaching, or in the minds of many, may have already attained.

You are nothing but a distraction here, stating what's been done as though it hasn't, attacking people (projecting perhaps), and driving off decent discussion with your obsessive hatred. A Pyrrhic victory.

We who are interested will indeed find other places to conduct a strong discussion.


What do you mean when you say "we"? Do you have a toad with you? No one that has participated on this thread is in agreement with you. You are alone in that wilderness which is your mind.

He's there. You can also backtrack. It's right before I sent a post explaining why he had failed as a moderator which caused him to ban me and the post disappear.

Some do find me a "liability."


Evasion and obfuscation.
You should seek help.

Of course that's your side.

I suggest people decide for themselves. Here's the end of the thread: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-618133-6.html

Interested in opinions concerning the functionality between DSLR's and Mirror-less cameras. I would like to purchase a mirror-less camera but I am not sold on why. Many blogs tout the future of photography but I have not seen any compelling reasons as to why I would be better off with the future as apposed to what I have at the moment (D700x2 and D500). I mentioned in reply to someone in another post that I don't think the mirror-less cameras were "there" yet. I find that I really don't understand what I even meant by that.

I remember when buttons and dials were all the rage on stereo equipment. Then, that aesthetic was out and touch sensitive electronic stereo systems were "in." Now buttons, dials and switches are back...etc... Is is all aesthetics.

The latest and greatest in mirror-less technology does the same thing DSLR's do...just a slightly different way.

Thoughts, comments, concerns, burns and trolls welcome.

"Functionality Between DSLR and Mirror-less"
From the sensor to the memory card there is zero functional difference.
A later model mirror-less may have a more advanced processor than an earlier DSLR. On the other hand the reverse is also true.

The tubs collect a huge amount of moisture and trap it before they are exhausted. They work splendidly and last for months. But you have to make sure the plastic boxes are air tight. Most of them are not, just made for clothes storage in closets, etc.


Very true about 'air tight' the better ones lock on all 4 of the top edges. I have things I need to keep moist and things I need to keep dry. The airtight containers work great in both uses.

Rather than collecting those little packets, you can get a tub of silica at most dollar stores, the equivalent of several dozen packets. Then replace with a new tub every few months.


You don't need to replace. silica gel is easily dried out in an oven or even a microwave.

Well, it depends on how fast the authorized third party facility one has selected to make the repairs can get the job done.


The news report said Nikon will no longer support authorized independent (read '3rd party') repair. When the independent repair shops are phased out you will need to send your work to Nikon's facility. How long that work will take is anyone's guess at this point.

Nikon ends its authorized third-party repair program
The move will significantly delay camera repairs for many owners.
Nikon plans to kill its authorized US repair program in March 2020 by cutting off access to official parts, tools, software and manuals to 15 official repair shops, iFixit has reported. The move will force owners to send busted cameras to just two Nikon-operated repair centers in the US, significantly delaying repairs. Nikon made the move in the wake of a steep decline in profits as smartphones continue to decimate camera sales across the industry.

"significantly delaying repairs" That seems to be pure negative speculation as there is no way to know until there is a history to look at.
Nikon made the move in the wake of a steep decline in profits More sour grapes. The independent authorized repair shops are a revenue source with low, or no, financial risk. To me shutting down the independents is puzzling but it certainly isn't to save money

Living in E Texas humidity is a way of life. I keep my camera gear either in a plastic storage unit or in a closet. I use “Damprid” canisters in the cabinet and “Arm and Hammer hanging moisture absorber” in the closet. Both are available at Walmart and other stores. The A & H units are very effective and need replacing about every three months. The Damprids get replaced about every six months. No issues with fungus or mold.


FYI Silica gel is available in bulk from places like Amazon. AND it is reusable as it can be dried in your oven. I picked up a couple of pounds 5 or 6 years ago and I am still using it. poured some into a white sock, tied a knot in the sock, then put it in my camera bag. Easy to work with and it gets the job done. Those dehumidifying packets you pick up are filled with the same stuff.

Being concerned as everyone else about preventing fungus in my photographic equipment, I would like to pose a suggestion for lens storage. A chain farm supply store, Tractor Supply, sells gun safes. They also stock a canister of silica gel to be used in those safes to help keep the firearms in storage from rusting. I have one of these safes from the time I used to shoot skeet and trap and it occurred to me that the safe would be ideal for storage of my camera and lens. The store also sells, for lack of a better description, a heat rod that maintains a low, steady heat in the safe, which is already equipped with a electrical connection for the rod. I was wondering if anyone else had already tried this setup and if so, what was their experience with it.

From my reading on fungus and mold I wouldn't use the heat rod. Unless you intended to use a storage temp above 130 deg F.
Fungus likes warm and moist, hot or cold will kill it.

Well, I wasn't talking about 350 degrees for an hour, I did/do 150 overnight.
I had thought that 70-210 was still sharp- until I got a sharper one.


A half an hour would more than likely be good enough so, one hour to be on the safe side. Using heat insures all the nooks and crannies get treated. UV or sunlight can't do that.
As far as the 150 degree temperature goes, if that's too high never leave your camera in your car
