JayKay.. love that sunrise shot at Graners. With that big deadhead parked there, i think I could almost put a year on it too....(not this year)? right.

You are correct sir. That photo was taken a couple years ago.

Here's a few more planes

2400, this must be an old Ford Tri-Motor? My dad and I flew in one this past summer. Was very interesting.​

The design on the pockets of that woman's jeans certainly add to the picture. Sorry for appearing to be insensitive, I have always liked the view of a nice pair of tight-fitting jeans.

You weren’t forced into “retirement” by chance?

^^^ LOL, Nope, retired freely. I'm betting there is hardly a guy on here who disagrees with the view of tight fitting jeans. Even us married guys can live with the rule of "Just because you're on a diet, doesn't mean you can't look at the menu."

After running through this whole thread again, i realized I am in need of some new camera equipment. What are you all using? I used to be real good at this photography thing until they took those canisters of film off the market. Now my camera sits in the closet. I'm recently retired and will do a little traveling and need some equipment. Want an idea or ideas on a normal sized camera and a pocket sized one if any of you have recommendations. TIA

I think any of the good brands will work its knowing how to use them on manual that makes all the difference. Frosty will be the man to give a detailed answer. rokslide also has a really good photo section with lots of instruction. All my pics were off a i phone

I’ve only used Canon DSLR bodies, that’s because any Canon DSLR body will pretty much take any Canon DSLR lens. I have 2 “L” series Canon lenses. 24-105 for “general use”, and 100-400 when I want to take wildlife pics. The batteries that come w/Canon bodies last for about 374748383648 shots before you have to charge them. Durability of the lenses and bodies has been excellent for me as well. I’ve carried them in my pack hunting in all kinds of warm and cold, wet and dry weather. I’ve also left them in the storage compartments of my various boats for weeks at a time without issue. Plus, they take outstanding pics.

I haven’t found a “pocket-sized” P&S that takes great pics AND is really durable. I’ve owned 2 SX series Canons that took great pics but neither lasted long. In both cases dropping them induced terminal damage. Currently I’m using a Panasonic LUMIX ZS50 and it’s durable butdoesnt have nearly the image quality that the SX Canon has. IMO detail washes out easily and image quality @ the edges ant nearly as good with the LUMIX. For me at least, the search continues.

ive posted this before, but, this is one of the best pics I’ve ever taken. Canon 7-D body and Canon L 100-400 lens:



The camera and glass do enough enough that I can crop and adjust a little color while retaining good image quality.
