Chicago Union Station using expired film

Visited there every summer in the 60's visiting my grandparents and cousins in Aurora. I was in awe of the huge station every time. Great photographs. Thank you for posting. jzett

How best to tote around long lens/camera?

I have the same lens with a D610. I cradle them between a bent elbow and my side with the camera strap attached around my neck. No weight on the neck and the camera readily available.

Beautiful series. I visited often when I lived about a 30 minute drive away. And yes, you're absolutely correct about the bugs. The Green-heads (vicious, man-eating flies) are just awful from May well into August.

Many consider the green heads the state bird of South Jersey. They can leave a welt that lasts for days.

Insurance

In today’s times of escalating prices, it would be wise to insure for replacement. Even on home insurance, if not insured for replacement value and suffer significant damage, you most likely will be on the hook for quite a large amount to make of the difference. Just look at the price of a sheet of plywood today compared to just. Few years ago.

Don't mess with the seniors . .

Surely, not a smart way to win over any new customers.

PC Clock Battery for a HP Compaq dc7700 small form factor?

Thomas I googled hp compaq dc 7700 and hp tech said either the cr 2025 or cr 2032. Both are 3 volt Just different thicknesses. Also advised to back up cmos settings before removing battery. It will save some time. Stay well. John

Which lens would you recommend for soccer?

I have used the 200-500 and had full reach over the entire field but too long for close action at the scoring ends. Teams are on one dedicated side of field while parents/spectators are restricted to the other sideline. However, I have been able to shoot from one of the corners of the end field. I shoot from the end my granddaughter is trying to score and switch at halftime. I have found the 70-200 to be much better for the action at the scoring ends where I capture the faces during the action. Best wishes to you

Setting up RAID array for Macbook

I paired my MBP with a Promise Pegasus raid. Bought both at the same time through Apple store. Very pleased with both. Promise web site has several configurations of the Pegasus. Good luck in your search.

how to permanently keep camera warm in car

I would use a small cooler, the type one uses for storing lunch at work. Keep the lid on tight and it should keep the cold out.

Printer Stops in the Middle of printing

I have experienced the same problem. Power cycling your WiFi Router clears up communication errors. Similar to your computer slowing down after being on for a long period. Reboot clears thecob webs. Best of luck to you.
