I’ve been selling on eBay for 15 yrs and it has gone through a lot of changes during that time. I resell vintage camera equipment to help finance my expense hobby (jsjeepster). It’s a great platform to use for my needs. As with any tool it’s learning how to use it. eBay sold PayPal and started handling payments themselves. After the need to link a new bank account it’s worked flawlessly. eBay will not initiate payment until a label is generated and scanned into the postal system. This works for me. I do buy insurance for peace of mind above $300 mark, sometimes at my own expense. All else is the cost of doing business. My margins are good, heck of a lot better than Craigslist because of the size of the platform. You’ll have to learn to trust the platform. I couldn’t run a one man operation without this exposure.

Yes. It's called a "nictitating membrane" (an extra eyelid). It's translucent and gives birds the ability to blink (so to speak) yet still be able to see. This is essential for seeing well while in flight as it keeps the eye moist and helps prevent damage from wind and dust.
Thanks, I thought it was something like that, wasn’t sure. Makes for a unique photo. 😁

Are these rescued birds? This one seems to be missing a toe too.

In May I got to travel to S Texas for my sons graduation from UTRGV. Early one morning I drove to the Birding Center at Benston SP. Wonderful place if you’re ever down there. Very nice supplied blinds to plant myself in and about the only one there that early. Headed for a HOT day. Saw quite a few birds and this beautiful Green Jay.
My question is the bird,s eye. Thought I had several great photos, then noticed no pupil? Does this Jay have a covering closed over its eye? It was near a water source. Was very happy to get these shots but now I’m a bit confused. Help is appreciated and any CC welcome. Thanks in advance Scott

Just returned from Texas. No batteries in cameras. Batteries in carry on in plastic bag, devices separate depending on battery size. No problem. Check airlines policy on their website.

Minolta Compact Bellows RC-323 I think. A couple on eBay. Search for model number then save search. They will send you emails every day until you find the one you want. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=minolta+bellows&_sacat=0&rt=nc&Brand=Minolta&_dcat=30059&_pgn=1

On my bucket list is getting a decent eagle photo. Upon retirement I bought a Sigma C 150-600mm for my D7100. What I’ve learned on this forum and through Steve Perry’s books has worked well, auto iso, aperture priority f8 for this lens. Still working on my handheld technique 😃, but I’m getting closer. This shot was handheld on a pontoon boat in N WI with these settings, PP with ON1, Topaz sharpen & Denoise, cropped, raw. I’ll try and incorporate another thing I learned here. Bracket +1 & -1 for better exposure though that’s hard “in the moment “ and a smaller buffer.

Many years ago in my 20s was in N WI, fishing and shooting. Put my OM 1 with zoom on the top and got in. Several county and gravel roads later my buddy asked where my camera was. I looked at him with fear in my eyes, stuck my hand out the window and there it was. Still on top of the car. I was driving like a young 20 something kid too. I believe the tondu cover saved it from sliding off. 69 Buick centurion 455 4 barrel. I still shake my head about it in disbelief.
