My most fave is the bottom left too! But it me a while to decide which I liked best!

Hey, Bugs as put a blob or glob of glue or tape on top of the video button. The first few times you hit the blob or glob, you'll cuss but then you won't do thar again.

Love the fox (downloaded or on my phone either one is terrific)!

Loved the short-eared owl. But, after looking at his/her head like that, the "normal" bald eagles are a little (but only a little) less exciting. Great job, dude!

I swear I thought I was looking at the Brit Gardens! Gorgeous!

Those greats areas are are you standing and the other guys are pretty damn good! Thanks for a really great effort at your local zoo.

Outstanding snowy pix, sir. Sometimes (but not often enough to cause me to move to a snowy place) I wish I could get snowy pix like these. Keep up the excellent work!

Right, leftj.

Just a thought here. I've been using the Corel Draw! Graphics Suite since v.0.81 (they are at around v. 20 or so.now) and have never had any issues with graphic software to do anything I wanted. I do "ordinary graphics" in it, all my photo processing and management, make baseball hats, t-shirts, and aprons, manage my font library (currently at 1500+ fonts when I last counted), etc. And lately I've been doing more and more just plain ordinary drawing. I don't normally recommend Corel but recently I was able to correct some text that didn't get properly processed in the camera and I reversed it in Draw in less than 4 minutes! I never would have thought of even trying to do that in Adobe! I'm looking forward to learning the newest stuff they've added over the next 9 weeks while I'm recuperating from a R hip replacement. I generally upgrade everytime they send me an announcement. BTW - I used to look at Adobe's stuff once in a while. Any more I don't bother. Hope this helps.

Judy is dead on correct. I had both eyes corrected for messed up cataracts about 18 years ago. The "about" is because the R eye was in December and the L was the following June.

I agree with her to find the best opthalmology surgeon you can find. I took my regular ophthalmologist who is also the head of glaucoma surgery where I go to keep my eyes in top shape because that runs in my family (Mom, Gramma, and Great Gramma), so when the opportunity came to snag this guy, I took it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any "little bit dicey" work I needed done anywhere near my eyes. The mornings he did mine, he did three other women as well. All of us compared notes while we were waiting and all of us us had recent high-dose chemotherapy before we got our cataracts fixed. I haven't seen any of the other women involved. But I have asked discreetly where we all did our chemo how everybody else is doing and we're all still good in the eyes department. Not everybody takes pictures. Two of the other ladies are painters and another one and I are both photographers and still doing well.

FYI - There has to be an excellent eye surgeon nearby if you live near a university with a med school that has eye docs coming out the door with their diplomas.

Good luck with whatever you do.

One issue I don't see addressed in this discussion is the matter of penetration testing. Penetration testers (PTs) rightly have a huge preference not to have their photographs taken because their livelihood depends on their remaining anonymous. What they do is to exercise their huge knowledge of how security systems work to demonstrate to the company which contracts with the PTs' employer how that company's nominal security systems may be insecure. Your taking a photograph may deprive such an individual of his/her means of making a living which is not insignificant. I'm just saying. drjuice

One issue I don't see addressed anywhere in this discussion is the matter of the danger your photography may pose to people in certain occupations, penetration testing being one. People who do penetration testing hugely prefer not to have their pictures taken. What penetration testers do is attempt to "penetrate" secure environments to demonstrate to the companies that hire them that the companies have weaknesses in their various security mechanisms. I have known a number of people in this occupation and NONE of them have ever wanted their pictures taken, even for such an event as creating a more or less standard security badge. Because I know about how freaky a photograph can make these people, I always ask permission first whether the rest of the world cares or not. Destroying somebody's capability to make a living is not insignificant.

Still don't use most Adobe products. Now that Windows will create .PDF files, why should I? Once in a long while when I can't buy anything but a .pdf file, I use a .pdf reader to read it.
For imaging I use FastStone's sw.
For making T-shirts I use Corel Draw!
For general graphic stuff use Corel products.
For making TIFFs and JPEGs, I use Dave's app that runs in batch in a DOS window and batch process everything though sometimes I will hand process one or two individual pix.

I've had 2 Sony Vaio notebooks the first for 8 years and the second for 11 years. The only reason I got the second one was that I needed a bigger hard drive and a DVD. The first one could only burn CDs and the agency I was volunteering with distributed new stuff on DVDs and wanted us to send new documents on DVDs becasue they were usually several hundred pages long. I replaced the second one with a Lenovo 320 which is in the Casa de Fixit because a DVD got stuck in the drive. It's due back tomorrow. That's been my only issue except for trying to deal with M$ about the mere existance of Windows 10 and their idiot Cortana. Corel Draw!, all the Fast Stones software, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Gmail, Kedit (my favorite software for writing writing because it doesn't freak when I write non-English passages) and every single piece of my handwritten software have all continued to work just fine in the 64-bit environment. I don't know what I'd have done if any
of my major stuff had crapped out.
I expect that in 6-7 years I'll get
another Lenovo because, except
for the DVD, it's been just fine.
Hope this helps somebody.
