Dual Climate control and leather seats and heated seats, etc. - I looked at dual climate control, leather seats, heated seats in Laramies and Platinums, but found what I wanted in an XLT - no climate control but the vehicles I've had before with …

I think part of the difference in driving, between my F150 FX4 and my 4Runner is the difference in throttle ramping between Ford and Toyota, the difference between the 5 speed and the 10- speed transmission. Toyota's throttle ramp on the 4 Runner …

Kevin, I've been weandering back roads, dirt roads and double track for many years. My first 4x4 was a Scout II - I loved that vehicle - even the brake lines were above the axles and entered at the top of the brake housings. I have had several …

Glen, I use several Canon bodies, a 5D Mk IV and a 1DX Mk II are my main ones, but I also use a 7D Mk fairly often, and I use a 70D as a walksabout snap shooter when I want to just travel fast and light. So the app you suggested may work fine for …

My spouse and I went last night - The realism engendered by the correction of the film speeds, and the audio that matches people in the video was quite effective even though I know the film was shot without audio tracks. The realism of the terain …

Dracula - the apps you linked for using a iPhone LCD display as a wireless monitor are very interesting and I will give that a whirl with my Panasonic GX8 but I don't think those apps will work with Canon, but I will look for similar type apps for …

Thanks Chris - I have owned that Sigma 300-800 for over a dozen years, and I always think of its optics as borderline and hence rarely use it ( its big, heavy, and awkward ) but I have a number of images captured with it and processed in LR with …

Three blind mice, three little pigs, three kings, yours, mine and ours, and baby makes three, as sure as a three dollar bill, 3 musketeers, 3 bags full, 3 sheets to the wind, three strikes you're out, three squares, three bricks shy of a load …

I am finally finishing my edits from the evening of Jan 20 and the trip home from Colorado. I found the shooting that evening challenging - I used two systems, a Canon 7D Mk II with a SIGMA 300-800 on a large Feisol tripod with a Wimberley head …

My BIL found a great public spot about 50 miles east of Denver with clear skies, and I caught …

Totally new to me - but she certainly is cheeky. 😻 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/christinehmcconnell/28908355291/in/photostream/lightbox/ Incredible amount of behind the scenes work in her images, her sets, and her cakes - she stars in them …

The 7 stops of stabilisation will be very handy for wildlife work, but also for long handheld exposure on the street and at night. The smaller size of long lenses and the lighter weight bodies in m4/3 really works well for wildlife shooters. While …

Looks like a very nice camera with several very nice features - the handheld high res images, and the Live ND are both features I find very appealing. The $3K price tag seems to be a new high for m4/3s bodies though. I may wait and see how …

All I can suggest is to find a wagon loaf of horse manure........ works wonders. DAMHIK - that and a lot of oak leaves toilled into our soil every winter. We started with your basic clay soil - not a great start, but with years of tillage and …

Dracula, I made a typing error in my date specifying Jan 20, 2018 when this week end is obviously Jan 20 2019. The eclipse I am attending is on the early evening of Sunday, Jan 20, 2019 - the link you have above, about the Super Duper Blood Moon …

Wow- no one has challenged the location of the tomato on that chart? No doubt, the plastic, fake orange things the stores call tomatoes these winter days, belong down there. But - in the summertime there are fairly good store bought tomatoes …

Everyone loves eclipses!! I was lucky to shoot the blood moon eclipse of October 8, 2014 and the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. A few images can be seen …

I see it is available for $1.99 on Kindle so apparently price is not an issue for most of us. I briefly looked at the text offered on Amazon to review, and Mr Jacobs writes well, he begins by discussing "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman …

It is interesting that Ford doesn't offer a high powered electric Mustang, but a British firm and a Russian firm do. Is the appearance of a Mustang not copywrited or patented or owned by the original manufacturer?? Certainly the name is owned by …

What a great shot of kids in a bright yellow seat having a great time!! Great gesture and color. Chris, the high warm humidity of butterfly habitats can be challenging, especially if you come in from a much cooler, drier environment. I did this in …

Denise, I don't usually favor black backgrounds either, but they may, sometimes, be better than the actual background at the time - I was actually practising shooting flash with a macro lens to deliberately drive the background to black for that …

Great set of images, Denise. The photographer in me would love to know just a bit more about the tools you used to capture these images. Macro lenses or long lenses, camera bodies, flash or not, reflectors or not, tripods or not, just to help me …

I just received an email ad from Sigma Optical about their holiday sale on many of their prime and their zoom lenses. Their 100mm f1.4 Art is $100.00 off as are most of other their lenses until January 7 - convinced me to join the bokeh fray, so I …

I do miss split image range finders in modern DSLRs, not sure why they can't still be in our viewfinders. I have almost forgotten about them its been so long since I've used one. I still possess several film SLRs, not sure why, I just can't get …

That is an interesting article that is probably new information to many people who enter photography with a modern DSLR as their first good camera - but for some of us, who grew up with manual focus lenses, black and white film, and even non-auto …
