Jim - I have participated in some groups where such a post would be considered advertising and either getting a few trolls stirred up or sensitive admins- I am pretty new here and am feeling my way around - so far, I have found this group to be amazingly laid back and helpful

I am NOT meaning to advertise for this company -- I am near Kansas City and they are in England and I have no relationship other than customer with that company and thought that some of you might find this of interest -- having (before retirement) been in charge of a couple of hundred printers (and computers, etc.) for the school district in which I taught, it was initially a surprise that most printers, when charging the head(s) with ink, dumped waste ink onto a sponge or absorbent pad inside the printer that made a NASTY MESS. My HP B9180's (plural since there were 3 junk replacements before the last one died) were always a mess where the waste ink piled up. Therefore, when I bought my Epson R3000 five years ago, I bought a Printer Potty (link below unless that is forbidden by the admins) that took 10 minutes to connect and sat it behind the printer out of sight and out of the way -- the waste ink flowed into that sealed container. Over the years, I emptied it several times. When the internal programming of some printers somehow calculates that enough nasty black, gooey, ink has accumulated on the waste sponges, it will stop and require service (sponges replaced PLUS a software key must be sent to the printer to unlock it). The kit pictured below I ordered for my new Epson printer that also will accept and store that waste ink instead of letting it pile up inside the printer AND it includes a one time usuable software reset key. It usually takes about a week to cross the pond and get here as I recall.

This posting was meant to be informative, but I understand that it might be too "commercial" and be deleted by the admins.

I apologize for not posting REAL triptychs and instead posted three sets of related 3 photos -- my abilities with PS CS6 are pretty limited to just doing a minimalist touching up that was not done in Capture One Pro -- it does 95+% of what I need for a processed image, and spoiled me to the point of never really getting into PS deep enough to use a gazillion plug-ins that I have accumulated.

IF a person is using MS Office for which they pay a "rental" each year, it includes 1T of free storage and I figure the MS Cloud will be around for a long time.

I am new to the RSS ball heads -- after buying the L bracket for my camera body, I "invested" in both the BH-40 and BH-55 ball heads and have been extremely impressed with these American-made, high quality ball heads -- they replaced the Manfroto ball heads on my medium and large tripods -- the question about the medium, BH-40 is answered with a BIG YES -- worth every penny.

I hope to with the DJI Phantom 3 with 4K capabilities, BUT, drones are banned from all national parks and I suspect eventually, the noisy things will be banned from numerous state parks. They have tremendous potential for still or videography but are noisy and disturb the peacefulness of nature for those that ascribe to John Muir's thinking about being in nature. With that said, I still intend to purchase the DJI Phantom 3 once all bugs are worked out (if there are any bugs -- I prefer to wait on expensive purchases and let the early adopters find the bugs instead of me). Here, in the middle of America, the scenics that I like to shoot are few and far between.
