Here are two shots of my son and daughter with their snorkeling companions:LOVE THAT!! It will be one of the most enduring moments in their lives!! I speak from personal experience!! Back in the summer of 1969 my Dad bought a 62 ft catamaran in St Lucia, then packed me off to same, for 3 months of sailing the British and French West Indies.The Meltemi pulled only 4 feet of draft so when we got to the Tobago Kays, we were able to anchor just yards away from where the Kays stopped and deep sea began. I swam across that drop off. Came away with a clear understanding of how I was a mere speck in the universe. Prior to which I thought the universe revolved around me. (hey, I was 16 and all 16 year olds know everything!!) 4 Likes

Meltemi was different because she was a cat. Not once did I get seasick that whole summer!!Best of all, after we anchored, I could jump in the dingy and slide underneath between the pontoons to sneak a Marlboro. 2 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #536 – August 29, 2019, 12:18:50 pm Kent,Somewhere in one of my bookshelves, I have a small book written by an entomologist describing bug identifications extracted from vehicle grills and radiators that had driven all over the country. I'll try to find it for you. It was actually really interesting.I don't think it made the New York Times Best Seller's List.Harold
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #537 – August 29, 2019, 03:03:29 pm There is a lot to be said about Butterfly Love. We have seasonal growth of Passion Fruit (I believe) with beautiful Crucification Flowers (I think that’s what they're called).Here are some pics of the Butterfly’s chrysalis and caterpillar stage (?). Here are some pics of other friendly critters hanging around.Kent 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #541 – September 20, 2019, 01:27:08 pm For all the folks that worry about having the latest and greatest camera. I came across this article by Thom Hogan, a respected photo guru in the Nikon world. He mention that if your tend to take wide angle to normal view pictures (13-50mm equivalents on a 35mm camera sensor) instead of buying a new camera you may want to consider buying an iPhone 11. There are other caveats of course, but that is a rather radical statement for a camera guy. I confess to using my iPhone 8plus as a walk around camera and using the other cameras (a D500 and Z7) for more challenging pictures. So, if you are thinking about upgrading a camera, you might want to read the article. Though he talks mostly about the Nikon DSLR, he is very versed in the other systems and receives no check from the camera companies.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #542 – September 21, 2019, 02:08:55 am John, the new Iphone 11 cameras are looking neat. He is talking about the iphone 11 pro, which also has a telephoto lense plus the normal wide angle and what they call an ultra wide angle. Apple claims it is of the level that professional photographers use (e.g. thus the pro name).This info by your expert is of interest to me as I would love to take pictures without hauling something extra around and I would like good pictures including telephoto pictures but I don't want to get heavy into equipment.There are also lens to attach to your iphone - I don't know if these will change (or become obsolete) with the iphone pro.Jane
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #543 – September 21, 2019, 03:36:01 am I really enjoy my iPhone 7 for quick and easy photography and the new 11 with its various lens options could be a lot of fun especially for those “shoot from the hip” photo opportunities. But I would never expect to get the clarity and quality of image that I get from my “truly professional” gear and lenses.Sure “lugging” around the big guns may take more effort and prep than simply charging up the battery on my phone but I’m actually ok with that. They say the new iPhone 11 has an aperture opening of 1.8 (I believe) but opening up the aperture of an almost microscopic lens will not get the quality of a great piece of glass with a real 35mm film aperture open to 2.8 I’ll still shot with my iPhone but, like John, I’ll also carry the lenses I choose for the days shoot and bring home those spectacular shots with my Nikon D800e with its 36 megapixel sensor. Here’s a pic of my latest piece of glass (possibly again 🥴) my Tamron 15-30 mm Generation 2 Ultra Wide Angle lens. I love this lens. Sure it weighs quite a bit but I’m ok with that too. The images are Super Spectacular. I doubt that the new IPhone 11 Pro will ever touch it. Mirrors Up.Kent 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #544 – September 21, 2019, 05:27:13 am I have a iPhone 8+, when my previous phone, iPhone 4, started getting a little wonky I picked the 8+ in part for the better camera. And it is rather nice for small prints. But yes, it, and any phone will not be able to replace a good camera for more demanding shots. Photography is about capturing light on a subject. With larger and better glass you are better able to capture light over a broader dynamic range. I just traded in a bunch of older glass on a new lens for the Z7. But I thought it was interesting for Thom to comment just how far phones have come. I love how I can adjust the light levels in my phone as I focus a picture. A couple generations ago a phone’s camera could not do that. Here is a recent shot from my phone that I love. In the past I would never had a camera with Me to capture a spire of the moment shot like this, I was watering the plants out back. 4 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #545 – September 21, 2019, 09:46:52 am Another wonderful feature of our modern smart phones, is the ability to use the onboard editor and of course instantly share our images on line, email or text. Amazing.While I use my standard gear on trips and such, my phone surely gets more of a workout. It really has allowed us to capture the moment. Our old Rotary Phones could never have done that. Here’s a photo of legendary Jim “Jet” Nelson that I captured with my phone while stopping by Alien Jerky in Baker, CA with my daughter. I even gave him a tour of our RB. He’s a very friendly guy. Interestingly, Jim had lived in Long Beach when we were both kids and used to hang out at the “Nu Pike” and “P.O.P” our local amusement parks at the time. We probably passed each other a hundred times and never knew it. 50 years later it would take a Lazy Daze to bring us together. Kent 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #548 – September 25, 2019, 09:53:41 pm Margee and I have had some rocky roads of late (family and friends passing away). And today was the kind of day that can make rocky roads smooth. Our granddaughter (Hannah) who travels with us in our LD trained for Cross Country racing all summer. This afternoon, in 97 degree weather, she ran a personal best, took 5th place out of 103 8th grade girls, finished 1st on her team, and her Team took 1st Place. A smooth road is wonderful.
