If you are using a zoom lens crank it to a wide setting to locate the sun and then slowly turn it to tele adjusting the camera orientation to keep the sun in the frame. At the wider settings the sun will appear as a small dot.

It's said that the force of the collision was equal to being hit by an aircraft carrier and that the weight of the bridge wreckage put the bow of the boat on the bottom which certainly helped stop the boat.

10mm may be just a little mor, but not enough more, effective than .45. Most effective option is 12 ga. shotgun located alternately wit 00 buck shells and 12 ga. slugs. Pistols just piss off the bear. In which the pistol may be more effective to shoot yoursel and avoid the mauling. Please report if you survive.


A lot of consensus for a pistol points to a 44 magnum with hard cast bullets, 305-340 grains. Hard cast bullets because what is needed is penetration. You need to hit the bear in the chest and have the bullet exit the rear hopefully breaking the pelvis along the way. The 12 gauge shotgun is also excellent but it's harder to carry around and perhaps harder to bring into action. The 45 is great for stopping a human but not a 400-600 pound bear. When hunting the best scenario would be to have a partner standing ready while you tend to any downed game.

I have a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2 and a Tamron 100-400 f/4.5-6.3 which I am considering using for the total eclipse. The 70-200 is better glass, but less range than the 100-400. Which would you chose for this event.

Best Regards

If you are using a DX camera the 200, 350 35mm equivalent, should withstand any cropping necessary. See my photo from the 2017 eclipse.

Judging from your post I think you already know the answer to your question. Stick with what you've got.

I read this section for common practical knowledge and advice. Sometimes I am severely confused and disappointed.

While waiting for some eagles to fish I noticed pelicans very high in the sky. I don’t think it is anything great but my wife loves it so I will post it.
Cropped a couple different ways.


The pano definitely takes the prize. Well done.

I am pretty much at the basic level as far as processing but if Reuter's receives the image as a jpeg how do they know if it was originally raw or jpeg? When I send a resized, Lightroom C processed raw image it goes as a jpeg.

I have never met a strap I really liked. Since I use the Cotton Carrier system and do not want to use chest carry I will use the Peak Design Slide in combination with the Cotton Carrier Sling Belt to distribute the weight of large lenses between my neck and shoulders and my waist. The Cotton Carrier allows both hands to be completely free.

usually my camera is in my left hand as i wander around. sometimes in my back, the i have to stop unpack and take my shot. i have seen some ads for a harness type where it looks like it attaches and stays a bit more static
Any advice out there. headed on a multi city adventure this summer


I forgot to mention that the Cotton Carrier Sling Belt can easily be worn left or right sided. The camera can be released with one hand unlike the Spider holster which requires two hands and attaches to your pants belt. Any moderately heavy camera that is attached to a pants belt will result in a constant hiking up of the pants and a tightening of your belt. I also employ a wrist strap to use when I want to carry the camera in hand. Disclaimer, I DO NOT own any stock in Cotton Carrier. I just like to have my camera worn comfortably, securely and with both hands free.
