Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #728 – February 20, 2020, 05:01:36 pm I traded my D600 in for a Z7 for pictures that are better with a full frame format (landscapes mostly in my case). I purchased the camera about a year ago and thought because of the file sizes and other things I would not use it that much, preferring the D500. Unsurprisingly I am using the Z7 for almost all my home photos and the D500 for action and distance stuff. The z7 just got animal eye focus. It is rather slick stuff. Don't know that I would test it on lions, tigers, wolves, or bears but for the average dog it works well. I don't have a cat to test it on. I was just trying to get use to the software so please excuse the noise from the bad exposure. 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #730 – February 20, 2020, 07:46:35 pm It’s hard to get a handle on who is who without some sort of signature name. It doesn’t need to be your real name if you are shy of such things, but it helps to personalize the relationship of a person to his artwork/rig/problems! Virtual hugs, Judie 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #731 – February 22, 2020, 03:47:37 pm Octopus are masters of camouflage. They are likely the most intelligent of the invertebrates and always shy, but often curious. They can change the color and texture of their skin in less than a second and can match the color of their skin to their surroundings.If you look carefully, you might find one in the intertidal rocks at Morro Bay!Harold 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #733 – February 22, 2020, 09:06:08 pm Judie,Good videos, all three! The third was the best, in spite of the funny hair. The octopuses stole the show! Octopuses are one of my very favorite animals in the ocean. They are a treat to interact with and always do interesting things.Here is a photo of my daughter stalking and shooting photos of an octopus on one of our favorite shallow reef gardens. I watched her stalk this octopus through the rocks for 15 minutes, so I captured it with a picture. Our diver and biologist friends immediately see the octo, but other friend say "What octopus?" Wendy is looking directly at it.Once you see it, it jumps right out at you.Harold 7 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #737 – February 23, 2020, 01:36:27 pm On the other hand, we have no such philosophical or gastronomic objections to catching and eating giant squid (a relative of the octopus), or ling cod ( a predator on octopus). 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #738 – February 23, 2020, 01:56:23 pm In my early teen years (1964 to 66) my Dad was stationed at Wheelus AFB in Libya on the south coast of the Med. We were snorkeling eight to nine months of the year. We quickly learned to be on the watch for octopus and how to lure them by dropping something near the hiding spot. They were a lot of fun to play with. 2 Likes

It looks positively pre-historic.A great fish to catch and even tastier to eat. Landing one in a kayak is interesting, ling cods have a mouthful of scary looking shape teeth.It's best to dispatch them first, before bringing it it aboard.Nowadays, we catch large packets of them at Costco.Larry 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #743 – February 27, 2020, 02:28:53 pm "The skill of firemaking is a survival skill in this part of the world."That is undoubtedly true, particularly in a primitive society. However I would think that a fire drill is probably the most difficult method of starting a fire. My money says flint and steel is a better choice. But then, you do what you can with materials at hand.But one wonders if the fellow on the left, who is sporting an expansion band wristwatch, has ever seen a butane lighter?
