Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1977 – September 02, 2024, 01:26:01 pm Hi Greg; A great experience holding a Falcon there on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific! And great pictures. About 8 miles, as the falcon flies, from where I live! (I guess with binoculars and a ladder I could see you.) A good stiff ocean breeze that day judging by the wind sock. Just north at the Del Mar Polo Field, they used to launch hot air balloon rides. We took one in 1996. Del Mar Hot Air Balloon Tour | Balloon Rides Online. Not up to a hang glider ride these days. The Torrey Pines Golf Classic, usually in January features hang glider views. RonB 2 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1979 – October 14, 2024, 06:53:27 pm There is a method called "hyperfocal" that will get you the 'best' focus coverage at any F Stop. It's a bit complex but it's very easy to do. The main issue is when you look through the lens it looks out of focus but it works. What you do on the lens is put the F Stop on the infinity symbol. Everything will be in focus from the distance on the lens to infinity. Enclosed is a very detailed explanation. <smile> Something I had to 'know' when I was in school all those many moons ago.Hyperfocal Distance Explainedglen 1 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1981 – October 15, 2024, 12:01:44 am The mirrors our new to us LD were pretty tired (Notice the gaff tape lol). At a speed greater than 65 they would yield to the air pressure and get pushed in, turning lane changes into a two man operation for me and my wife. Let's just say it was a huge slice of hilarity with a topping of fear. I found a pair of mirrors from a coach that burned down and got the pair for 50 bucks. They were a little singed but some elbow grease, paint, and new glass they were look9ng pretty good. I only painted them with white primer. Not sure when but paint is in the LDs future. Maybe not a complete repaint but definitely some cancer removal with touch up and new stripe colors. Anyway here are the pictures. 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1988 – October 25, 2024, 01:15:59 am We made several trips to find and photograph the Comet A-3. We started in Eastern WA in Late September early pre-dawn. Clear skies but no luck. We later drove to the coast October 11 for three days mostly clear and dry and unusually warm for that time of year -No Luck! Tuesday we had Clear skies on Vashon so we hung out with a camera and binoculars, we missed it again! During our quests we did see a Great Aurora Borealis without needing a camera to see the colors! Sorry no photos. I guess we will keep looking for what ever is out there! Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1996 – December 19, 2024, 11:50:04 am What time were you in Solvang? Solvang has been extra busy this Christmas season. I walked through downtown around 10:30 am yesterday! We've been in a weather pattern lately of near freezing nights and warm afternoons. We hope to see some real rain in the near future.

Got a nice parking spot right across from the Visitor Center on Copenhagen since it wasn't yet crowded. Originally was planning to go on Saturday but glad we didn't as it got pretty busy as the afternoon wore on. This was my first visit to Solvang- beautiful little town. You live in the area, don't you?
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1998 – December 19, 2024, 09:12:13 pm We enjoyed a midweek visit to Borrego Palm Canyon. Three Lazy Daze present including ours. The weather could not have been better for the four days: 75F day time and 55F at night. Perfect blue skies and no wind. Our favorite 4x4 and hiking trails were deserted and most campsites were empty. It was sublime.Best wishes to everyone here for the holiday season from Harold, Cyndy and Tug. 3 Likes

You live in the area, don't you?I grew up near Solvang. After retirement we bought our LD and moved back to Solvang. In 2015 we sold our Solvang home, replaced our LD with a Tiffin DP and began 7 years as full time RVers. In 2022 we decided to come off the road and ended up in the senior community of Atterdag Village of Solvang. It is a walkable distance to downtown. 4 Likes
