I was in Hopkinsville Ky, back in 2017 and I took some great solar eclipse photos using a Formatt Hitech Firecrest Neutral Density 5.4 Solar Eclipse Filter (18-Stops). My camera was a Nikon D810 with a 300mm lens.

The photo marked number 1 is why we have the e*******l college, it is intended to keep the highly concentrated centers of population from having too much say in how the other states are governed at the federal level.

Thanks, Mark! I remember listening to Sing Sing Sing from an old 45 record my dad had. It was from this 1938 concert...still it is one of the best pieces I had have ever heard. I would have loved to have been there when it was played.

A few after that song came out, digital cameras were produced....and it all changed.

I have used my 28-300 as my main walk-around lens. I have traveled to all 7 continents and have never regretted getting a sharper lens. My reasoning is that I never print larger than 8X10. I shoot my D810 in raw and post-produce in Lightroom. My photos look great.

My first experience with photography was watching my father develop and print photo's in our blacked-out kitchen. I was probably 10 years old, and I don't think it was a creative draw, but one of magic. Now at 73 years old, I still experience it that way.

I went there a few years ago and kept my camera inside my parka. We never experienced any large waves while riding in the Zodiacs. The water was usually calm at each of the sites. We took the Tauck tour.

I have done genealogy research for the past 10 years and have learned a lot. My wife and I took a trip to Norway several years ago to try to find the family farm where my great grandfather and his father were born. They came to America in 1868. We contacted the farm and found out that my Great-Great Grandfather's brothers descendants still lived on the farm and they invited us to stay a few days with them. We had a wonderful visit and I learned a lot about my ancestors...it was a life-changing experience for me.

This is an interesting snapshot (pun intended) of the creation of the camera:

The 1938 version of this song played at Carnegie Hall is my favorite. Here's a link, but it is best to listen to it with your eyes closed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbgwADLFPM
