New to Ugly Hedgehog, but so far I'm impressed with the total lack of trying to sell me something. Very refreshing. I shoot mostly with a Nikon D850 and while many think that 46MP is excessive, I love the fact that I can print 24" on the narrow side without enlarging, so I'm a big fan of the high resolution. I love shooting at night, but I need some new locations. I'm worn out on Portland. I also love shooting at the Oregon Coast and the Eastern Oregon desert.

Well, I'm not sure how much I should put here, so that's enough for now.

I remember the good old days when dealers gave you healthy discounts off the list price of new cars. Then manufacturers cut back on dealer discounts, but you could still get something off the sticker price.

The next step was to pay the sticker price, with possible dealer add-ons - like $400 wax and $200 wheel locks. Unfortunately, things have gotten worse because of supply and demand. For many popular models, dealers are adding 22% - 37% to the base price of the car. That's gotta hurt. "Well, if you don't want it, someone else will."

I went to a local Chevy dealer a few weeks ago thinking I might trade my Silverado in on a new one. A sales rep started in with his usual sales speel. Seems I timed it just right with huge sales going on all week. When I mentioned that I wanted to know the trade-in amount they would give me for my truck the rep said it would depend on the sticker price of whatever new truck I was interested in. I asked why that mattered. We just want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck he says. Wrong answer!

As a military veteran with a service connected disability I recieve free health care through the Veterans Administration. On my recent annual checkup at the local VA clinic I was sorely dissapointed in the new changes they've made. First question my check-in nurse asked me was if I had any suppressed sexual orientation issues I felt the need to talk to someone about. She was quick to add that she didn't like asking but under the new "woke" VA guidelines she is required to ask. Guessing from the look I gave her she figured it best to move right along to any physical health issues I may have. Next came the MD visit. All of a sudden here's this big fat slob in street clothes on a big screen TV up in the corner of the room. He says, ya got any medical issues ya wanna to talk to me about. I was sorely tempted to ask him the best way to lose the extra 10 lbs. Iv'e gained over the last several years. No longer any blood draws, etc. etc.

I've a mind they were deprived of attention by their parents when they were children and this is their sordid attempt to make up for it. Kinda like the sovereign citizen nit-wits.

I've never believed in ghosts, but I love movies and videos about them.

Last night, I watched a YouTuber talk about his time in a haunted apartment. The man in the apartment downstairs had killed himself a couple of years before the YouTuber (YT) moved in. The YT said he began having nightmares about a very tall man dressed in a black suit. His sister and brother-in-law also saw the man occasionally. It turns out that the man downstairs was almost seven feet tall, and his job required him to wear a black suit.

Of course, he could have been making up the whole story. The other possibility is that the house was really haunted. As I said in the beginning, I've never believed in ghosts.

Watching the "Ghost and Mr. Chicken" movie made me a believer in the para-normal world!

Hi Hogs,

I am about to begin the second revision of my landscape photography book by Focal Press.? Exposure and metering are important skills to master. Over 40 years of photographing close-ups, wildlife. and countless landscapes for fun and to earn a living, I have never found a situation where aperture-priority works better than the other choices I prefer that include shutter-priority, manual, shutter-priority and Auto ISO, or just manually setting a known exposure for stuff too small to meter like stars. Can any one think of a situation where aperture-priority really works best in case it should be in the updated book. I never have found a reason to use aperture-priority, but that doesn't mean there aren't any! Thanks for considering this question.

The word bokeh mean anything to you?? Aperture priority is often the "go-to" mode of many renown wildlife photographers.

Seems to me that you're on the payroll as well. Other wise, why all the hard-core sales pitches? I don't recall seeing any previous posts from you bitchin about how badly the hog needs to make these changes. Makes me think you're behind all these nonsensical changes.

Not all changes have positive outcomes. If it aint broke then don't fix it. The hog ain't got you (and a few other hard selling members) on their payroll do they??

NICE!! This reminded me of days long gone when I used to hunt dinosaurs with my trusty bb gun near the banks of the creek on my grandfathers farm.

NICE!!! Back in the day I had a 1974 Bonneyville. Man that thing could thump on down the road. Burned about as much oil as it did gas. And yes, it was quite the chick magnent. An exponential step up from the old Cushman scooter with the centrifugal cluch as far a chick magnetism ranking goes! Not much good for late-night parking though, heh heh.
