Why is this not in the Attic where it belongs.

Tell me the reason you don't believe in all the other Gods-

That's the reason I don't believe in yours.

As technology evolves it will be interesting to see developments like this and how they will affect other areas. Although this may be a very long time out before it will affect the DSLR market it shows how far people are will to look outside the box to find new ways of doing things. However as I am getting older the idea of smaller and lighter is looking better all the time.

Survey question

Here's my 2 bits worth, I went from having numerous bodies and lenses, shot at the most 1000 per month, had my own wall in a pub, at least 1 a week in local paper. I got tired of the " nice picture" bs so now in the last couple years, shot maybe 5000, most are pretty good, and no one has seen them, To me, I like em, enough said.

It takes me what seems like for ever to find my glasses now, that I just had, yet when I look at my photos I know exactly where I was, and how I got there.

Photography for me has evolved into something very personnel, doesn't have to be shared.

My 2 bits, for what it's worth

Jerry, I have met a number of people during my lifetime, that were a few cards short of a full deck.

So does that make the odds go up or down

B17 crashed

Just saw that the Collings B17 crashed at Bradley Field in Hartford CT. Check your local news media for details. It is a sad day for the families of the victims and also for those of us who love the WW II planes.

Which was more important.

Google search:

https://www.google.com/search?q=b17+losses+ww2&rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA850CA850&oq=b17+loses&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.15979j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

"In the air force over a half of losses were non-combat losses." United States: Total losses were nearly 95,000, including 52,951 operational losses (38,418 in Europe and 14,533 in the Pacific)."

If these #"s are correct? Maybe the plane wasn't that good- Just the US had the capability to make lots of them, and a crew of 10, well lots of them also.

Guaranteed this was a tragedy for the families of those you died, but it is minuscule to the 195,000 other families who had no choice.

Was this really a good plane- or was there just lots of them.

One more thing, the younger generations don't care! Sad but true

This crew died doing what they loved!

Not what was asked of them.

Very big difference in my book,

I did not do it on purpose, let alone know how it happened.

Sure hope someone can come up with a reason for the first one

The same location with very different results.

I was sitting down on a small table looking out an upstairs window at this sunset up at our ski hill. The first one I didn't pan the camera down enough and I got a little of the upper window frame. The second one is better. I just converted them to JPEG nothing else done to them.

Any ideas what happened.
