What, no 50 caliber turret?

There are three ways to learn anything new, either software, applications programs, new tools, new cameras, etc.

1. The first and probably the most useless method is to fumble about with the commands, keys, toggles, etc. to try to figure it out. This method usually results in a lot of frustration and a completely bollixed up program.

2. The next method, and probably the least used of the three is to read the manual, this method also results in a certain amount of frustration, but not as much as the first method.

3. The third method, and the one most used, is the
"Ask Ed" approach. Ed is the guy in the next cubicle that knows how it works.

This site is a large Ed.

You all hear that thumping noise? It's the stick beating the hide of the dead horse.

Lots of luck with this endeavor.

A spanish windlass is particularly for circular force. Wrap a cord around the object, insert a rod of some sort twist until tight place the rod along the edge tangent to the edge then apply torque to the object.

google spanish windlass works on all sorts of circular stuck stuff.

Check out sealife. I've used a 1400 for a lot of photos. It, however had a separate housing. The sealife reefmaster mini is self contained and will go a lot deeper than you are going to go with out SCUBA.

Check our their site.

there ain't no country boy (I consider the term "Redneck" to be mildly pejorative) on the planet that would call that furry road kill an "Opossum." It's a "possum" city boy.

Even Pogo called hisself a possum.

It's a great shot, but it's not a bluebird,Sailia sialis, but an indigo bunting, Passerina cyanea.

Yeah, I know, excessively pedantic.

It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but I think its an eastern kingbird.

It would help if we knew where the picture was taken.

Don't you guys have pockets?
