Had to back for another look. I guess I need to work on my observation skills.

BTW - when did they start naming every snow over an inch?

Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'

How do you like that 28-300 (Nikon, right)? It's on my wish list

there's a post from last evening - "Carrying two DSLR" - several responses mentioned 'Cotton Carrier'; PhotographyJim posted a picture of himself
in action. You might want to check it out

Yo, Jim
Biathlon is WINTER olympics, not summer

so - if I'm understanding correctly - the head/pod works when panning at eye level or slightly below, but not when your panning goes vertical

thank you, guys! (speters, MT shooter, Chefnell and Gene51)

Anyone using a Siriu pano tilt head for sports or bif? Would you recommend it, or does anyone have a better suggestion?

I like to follow these threads all the way thru to identify which responders to pay attention to, and which to ignore. Just like school teachers, some are willing and more able to work with us slow kids, while others only want the gifted kids in their class.

Thanks a LOT! ☺
I just had to track down your original post and read the responses. But, that's MY neurosis, not your fault.
In my humble opinion, that's the reason every digital camera needs 2 card slots. Then you would have one version to share with those who just want something "good enough" to mark the occasion (birthday, holiday, whatever), and the other to take on your quest for the grail (Perfection).
As for the responses/reactions; you get everything from your favorite teachers ("The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask") to the arrogant schmuck who insisted you should have memorized the entire text before daring to enter his sacred domain.
Most of the time, what you'll get is not only helpful instruction, but also friendly encouragement. So, enjoy the discussion/debate and the fun of your (our) hobby! 👍

Why? Sometimes shadows are perfect just being shadows

Had a flashback on that one - my wife criticizing the prom and wedding pictures; "You didn't get the shoes!"

Since you're shooting through the window, the simplest fix for #5 and #6 might just be getting outside and shooting from a different pov. Just something I picked up from several of the more constructive critiques on here. Lot of great (and free) advice to be found here.

A: Because we can

2: Because we're stuck in the house, and not out actually photographing
something.

That's the great thing about this group, not only do you get answers to your photography questions, you also get critiqued on your spelling, grammar, vocabulary, manners, and so much more. It's a real one-stop shopping site!

Thanks for the help
