U.S. Navy '68-'72 Aviation Ordnance. Attached to an A-4 squadron based in Lemoore, Ca. Made 3 combat cruises off the coast of Vietnam. Received my Army induction notice when I was in Navy boot camp. Left the Navy as an E-5. Many days I wished I had stayed in for 20 or 30 years.
Sometimes I think the same thing but who knows how it would have all turned out if we stayed in. Life has been good since discharge...college (paid for by GI Bill), wife, two kids, three grandchildren. Life is good. Hope it has been for you too.

I spend a lot of time on Youtube looking for solutions for photography editing a well as general household problems. It seems that lately the articles never finish (or even start) without some kind of ad starting and interrupting the article. Is there a safe app that can stop these annoying ads?

Disregard my last reply. I figured out how to make the letters white on a clear background. Rongnongno, you are right. The numbers are not as sharp as I would like them to be. Not sure how to line the numbers up if I create the calendar in Photoshop. Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks for the ideas. Ultimately, I want the letters and numbers to be white with a clear background. These methods don't seem to work when making the numbers white.

I am creating a calendar that will drop onto the top of photographs: one for each month. I am trying to figure out how to create the monthly calendar and the only way I could figure out how to do it, and align the numbers, was with Excel. Cumbersome, but it works. The problem is trying to get rid of the background so the picture will show through. I am using Photoshop but I cant seem to figure out how to make the background clear.

Ahh, now I know. I use it all the time with my Nikon. So much easier than holding the shutter half way down to focus. Great for sports and action. If you aren't using back button focus, you should try it. It's great!

My cameras are set up for BBF and this is not conducive to others taking pics of us and a couple weeks ago someone offered to take a pic of us while on a mountain side vacation hike. I handed over my cellphone and was quite pleased with the results. Really great as opposed to nothing at all!
This prompted me to begin using my cell as a viable supplement. Now all I have to do is learn how to better use it.

What is BBF?

Amazing shots of the F-15. What a beautiful aircraft. Kadena was my last duty assignment before I got out in 1965. I remember watching some simulated bombing runs up in the mountains in the north. The planes came in so low and so fast you never saw them until the last minute. Back then, Okinawa was one big US military installation with every branch of the services having bases there. The marines trained for the Viet Nam war in the jungles in the North end of the island.

I have the Nikkor 24-85 and can't seem to get it calibrated to my D7200 to give sharp pictures. Thinking of replacing it with the Nikkor 16-85 f/3.5-5.6. Any thoughts? I have read that the 16-85 is a very sharp lens.
