I could come over and help figure it out. I have butter.

Is it looking at us? Looks like an eye! Great capture!

I would continue to take pictures of places, while I am able to travel, parks, zoos and around town when I can go no further, family and back yard when I am homebound, and anything else I can shoot as long as my camera works and I am not in too much pain. My last shot would be a selfie if able, I am rarely in any pictures.

Once I ran into a different but similar situation. Found out that for vehicles, purchase is not complete until delivery. You paid for it prior to purchase, but cannot purchase until you take it away. Not sure if Texas see’s it this way, but a lot of people buy cars by ordering them from the factory. You pay and 3 months later you get the car, but purchase isn’t complete until you drive it off the lot.

Good luck!

If you are interested, it is an F-15c from the Jacksonville Florida Air National Guard.

That is actually an F-15, looks to be owned by the Air National Guard, but might not be.

I had an older monitor that would do that, I had a bunch of fuzzy pictures, but on my iPad, very sharp. Got a monitor with higher standards (like HD or UHD).

I think the foreground IS the subject (new snow). I would not crop it, it tells an important part of the story.

#1 screams wet pavement! The reflections and abstract colors are great. The sewer cover is a nice touch too. I like #2 as well, but to me it says more city life and sky line, the taillights obscure the wet (maybe just damp) pavement.

Nice pictures!

Since my first camera (film, manual everything), which came with a 50mm lens, I have always had a 50mm lens. I can zoom in and out with my feet (not near a cliff) and get great results. I have done landscapes and portraits with great results. I do have a 50mm lens currently on my camera. I have a 105mm that I prefer for portraits now, but still use the 50 a lot. If it broke today, another would be ordered immediately. For reference, I have a full frame camera.

CD’s? Yep, I (and most of my family members) don’t even have CD drives. I now normally share via shared albums that I can give access to individuals I want to be able to see them. We have a lot of 70 plus family members who are not tech savvy and are reluctant to that. For them I bought several thumb drives, which have become incredibly cheap, I load the pictures on them and hand those over. I tell them to keep them and will usually label them with a sharpy so they remember what is on them.

Nice captures! I especially like #2 as the firework smoke appears evil and foreboding, just like the scary part of so many stories that Disney has produced or made movies of. Very nice collection!

I too am a convert, with no regrets. I got into Mac with a MacBook Air, that is now 8 years old and still keeping up. I have an iMac now as well. I looked at specifications and compared to a PC from various vendors, equipped similar to the Mac and the price was not that much difference. Add to that longevity, free OS upgrades, and support support I think more than made up for it, plus it just works right all the time.

My MacBook Air was purchased for a travel device that was light weight, the netbooks were the PC version of a lightweight laptop, but were very under powered. I never intended to go away from Windows (which Macs run quite nicely) but turning on the PC became a dreaded experience, so that was that!

Either way you go, good luck!

The ones that remain are very rare. They were expensive and slower than other comparable aircraft so sales didn’t materialize, selling only about a dozen. Beechcraft tried leasing them to drive demand, but that didn’t work out well. Beechcraft was losing a lot of money supporting a small fleet, so they destroyed all the planes they had, and tried swapping a Premier I jet for privately owned Starships. There were some awaiting destruction that were not airworthy, sold off to people for parts.

Nice capture, it is a very cool looking turbo prop!

We could also buy postcards of things we see, it is a hobby. Tell a ham radio operator that a cell phone provides more reliable communications, or a woodworker that they can buy a table cheaper at the store. Doesn’t provide the creative outlet that doing it yourself provides.

Above all, your troll comments are not friendly to a person asking a simple question.

Just like today! It is just in our phones. I had a 35mm Exakta everything was manual, had lots to do to get the shot!
