Going out camping to experience spring in the country, might not come back. Camera equipment is packed, wonder what else is needed?

A friend recently gave me a tripod...
Glad you put your foot into the pool of experts herein.
I was presented with the same range of suggestions from members after posting my first image a couple years ago. I focused on the most positive comments and continued to read other threads to learn the personality of this forum. It was hard to post my second photo but did anyway. I don't know wether I'm getting better or members are more tolerant of me but I enjoy my brand of photography (historical recording) and even occasionally comment on other's posts. Isn't that what this is all about?
So hang in there and continue full steam ahead on your hobby.

...It's amazing what people do!
If that is what helps those that are left behind to feel comfortable and let go, then please continue to do it.
In the sixties when burying a fallen member of the military the gun salute, taps with folding and presenting of the flag did so much to calm family and friends left behind. (One my duties in my division was arranging and conducting funerals and that ritual was always so appreciated.)
Heard someone say the other day, "If the need is there, it is already to late". (I like to think I'm #4.)
So glad you had that phone with you, those are excellent photos, thank you! (It's a cloudy, cold, wet day here.)
Been two weeks here, amazing how many "Round-To-Its" have been fleshed out.

How? Where?
Or is that a guess.
When I signed up on I was given the choice of taking the free subscription or the paid one without ads. Don't know if that is still an option.
Pay up and not see advertisements. At least that is my understanding.
It's not often that one sees a large material object just outside their high-rise glass balcony door, especially on a cloudy, rainy day.
Saw a multitude of doves wanting to feed, some were more aggressive than others. (Considerable noise present because this was taken before dawn with 400mm prime at f2/8, hand held 15 stories above the natural ground.)
The New Reality here is staying inside and attaching the telephoto lens to the DSLR to find subjects by looking off the balconies 15 floors above the natural ground. Here are a couple bird's eye views of the feeder visitors this morning. First looked out and saw the feeder completely covered with doves then after thinning, that little sparrow jumped in.

Typical contrast to a 4 year degree. (How much did that cost you in lost wages because of not having a degree for that extra 11 years?)
