Daughter lives in Springfield, VT. IMHO there is no place better for fall foilage than VT! Beautiful image.

MikeMcK: I believe that you are correct about the beauty of Vermont in the fall. It was my first trip there, and it truly did not disappoint.
Your comment about my photo is much appreciated.

A very nicely balanced image, with the wide part of the stream in front leading us through a beautiful forest of autumn color.

Thank you very much, Linda.

info on lens cleaners...........

jerryc41 wrote:

Right. That's the standard for lens cleaning - basically alcohol on a cloth.

Are you sure that the solution is alcohol?
Not sure that alcohol isn't bad for the coating.

WD Wireless Drive

Backing up our photography when we travel is always a major concern, and a wireless hard drive seems like a good solution.

The problem of interfacing with other equipment increases with every upgrade of cameras and other devices.
For example my Canon 5D, which is only a few years old, does not support SD cards, only Compact Flash.
Nor can it communicate via USB with computers using upgrades to Windows 8 or 10.
There is probably some contorted way it might be made to work with the Western drive under discussion. For now, however, I am relegated to use of the Compact Flash card reader, and from there to various other connections.

What was your first camera? And when did you become interested in photography?

My first film camera was a Kodak Brownie Flash 620.
My first 35 mm camera was a Welti, manufactured in Germany. Fully manual.
My first digital camera was a Canon 10D.

Nuisance messages cannot be overcome

6fojfqe.top
Every day I get a message which completely stops me from using UHH. It comes from
6fojfqe.top
It is apparently from Walmart and it offers me a chance to win an Apple iPhone. I cannot move forward or backward. My only way of escape is to power off my phone or computer.
Avast finds no virus or malware.
Can you help?

Osprey waiting to catch a Kokanee Salmon.

Great shot. Hard to detect any noise even though taken at ISO 1000.

New Year's Eve Visitor

Thanks, LFingar. You are certainly right about the focus. In my haste I shot without shutting off Auto Focus and it's 9 focus points and manually focusing on the eyes. I didn't post it as an example of good photography.
