People just don't get that you can't easily take good low light pics without a 35mm camera. It looks plenty bright inside a house to us, but not to a camera. The most challenging low light pics I had to take was at a late night practically candle lit party with a Canon 6D 6400 ISO f4 s40 and a 2 second delay to remove the shake from pressing the button. If I was smart, I'd have intentionally under exposed the images a bit and edit them later.

I have little girly arms. They get tired easily!:oops:
They can be strengthened. I started milling with a 170 & 1x3" guide board, next an ms-460 w 25" bar alaskan. Resisting the push or pull of the cutters in the cut, picking up the rig onto guides, pushing the slabs about develops strength & it gets easier.

He will come investigate anything you put down. He’s knocked over my beer several times. The turd head thinks it’s funny.


Good looking rabbit!

We had a pair that would run around the house and use a litter box.

We have kept a rabbit in the house thru the dead of winter. But, much rather they have the run of the back yard (fenced).

Keep a Daisy Red Ryder by the back door for the more aggressive cats.

Bubba (part Flemish Giant) would whup every cat that came within range.

Our first, Digger Dog, lived to be eleven years old. He treated me as his ‘doe’. Sarah carried him home her sophomore year in HS.

I had to make a new post coz even I got confused which was which. So the photos go:

169191584.bNYBFOma.jpg


A7s with super sharp Nikon wide angle lens - 12mpxl full frame sensor. About a $3000 combination.

Then:
169441551.wxc2SvfM.jpg

Canon M3 and it's surprisingly sharp 15mm-35mm zoom lens - 24 mpxl sensor. $300 or so for both, and my main rig for walking about. I prefer Canon colors nowadays to all others as well. Unless you photoshop it, it is difficult to mimic them in other cameras.

164950096.aL4X6sLX.jpg


Sony A7(non 's') standard full frame and 28-70mm Sony lens - 24mpxl sensor. Told you guys I tend to shoot thru windows. A $2k camera when it came out. I got it as a christmas gift 2 years after it debuted. So it prolly cost my cousin 1200 bucks or so at the time.

The second photo of the country market is the Canon M3.

Then a curve ball -
164588567.P52OlrIZ.jpg


A Sony NEX6 from 2011. Super sharp 50mm adapted Canon prime lens, tho - 16mpxl sensor. A 190$ combination since it is a manual lens from the 70's and cost me like 40 bucks.

164389727.JsyHpQOS.jpg


Same Sony NEX6 for the signs, but with a super cheap wide angle Sony kit lens. I did not process the image to look that dreamy, that is how sharp the lens is! So one can use it, its propensity to flare and lose even more contrast, to ones advantage. If you want to do landscape, tho - there's much much better choices.

And this is a knuckle ball. You can tell once you zoom in there's not as much detail or dynamic range as most the other images. But who zooms in to pics other than a print maker? The grave pic is made with a 2003 model Nikon D2h, which was outdated even at the time I took this image in 2007. It was $4000 when it came out and is wearing a $1000 lens. It has a 4 mega pixel sensor. I got both the cam and the lens used at the time for $750. Though the body was heavy, it did have a huge amount of easy to use controls, could take 8 photos per second with full AF tracking, had ridiculously fast flash syncing for the time, and one could easily bludgeon a walrus to death with it and then take photos of the aftermath due to it's robustness.
Thanks for the great pics.
Thanks for the camera info,,, its near time for me to get a good used camera,,,

About any nik
Thanks for the great pics.
Thanks for the camera info,,, its near time for me to get a good used camera,,,

Basically speaking, about anything past 2014-15 or so will be an excellent camera. Any DSLR(whether full frame or APSC) that uses an SD card vs a CF card(1Dx and 1Ds aside) is gonna be a good used dslr. But even the old 5d Canon and Nikon D300 using CF cards are still great cameras to this day - they filmed tv shows and some films on the original 5d). I would not hesitate to use a 15(!) year old Nikon D300. It was one of the first DSLRs with lens correction built in(correcting for colour and distortion in Nikon lenses), and had decent dynamic range. I've seen low shutter count gorgeous examples sell for under $300 on the bay.

Most cameras nowadays correct for colour and distortion, which only helps to keep lens costs and weight low. Back when we used film, you had to spend a LOT on good glass to get great wide angle photos. Now, in 2019, my camera kit weighs less than most of those old lenses, and takes BETTER quality photos. It's a good time for photographers.

This is a $180 lens! If you click on the image to zoom, you can read the menu headers the woman is looking at:
