Look at the registration sticker. Does it state a year before 1992? Then you may use it. If it does not, you may not.

If your state does not have the year of the vehicle on the registration sticker (NY does) then you should use your best judgement.

I hope that helps, Barracuda.

Do you mean the tag on the license plate? because I have never seen anything on the plates but the year the tags expire here on the left half of the U.S.. on the plus side I can guarantee all three of my pics will be classics closer to 50+years old taken at car shows.

1992 and “this old car” makes me feel old, that doesn’t seem too long ago. I might try to dig my old project car from the garage that I haven’t touched for years.

You are not kidding there. I was already married and then divorced in 92 And in all that time since I have only owned three vehicles that were newer that 1992.
I have a ton of car show pictures from Northern Cali So I can archive dive if I don’t get anything new I like.

A lot of astrophotographers rave over the resolution they get from their macro lenses, so they are often the favored glass for wide-field shooting.

Well I will definitely be keeping that idear in my brain for when I can afford my next lens also.

I’m with the rest of the crowd here Don’t know why but I know it looks cool.

Happy birthday and congrats on a fun looking lens.

That is way cool how many different looks that guy can pull off with such believability. The only one that didn’t look real to me was the beehive lady. the rest could have been people I know.

Congrats to oddmind this week!

Seconding that, and adding congrats to Els for the combined win.

Yeah congrats to both of you.

Very nice! I have only seen lightning way off in the distance when I didn’t have my zoom lens with me since I moved here.

Monsoon season. 40% chance of rain (it already happened twice). No go from me. Share them when you getz them!

Yeah what he said. only 30% here but thunderstorms are also a possibility.

So I have only played with my new tripod a little bit (work has kept me from it mostly) but I will say I like it a lot! The ball head is different compared to what I was used to but a 1000% improvement over the video camera tripod I have been using. It has a level bubble on the upper part of the ball head where the quick release sits and another bubble on the legs.The legs are the three position type so I can get the super low and still very stable pics. and the center column can be removed and reinstalled from the bottom for extra low stuff. It seems it weighs almost exactly the same as my crappy old busted tripod (Carbon fiber Vs aluminum) but is WAY more stable. Over all I would say it was totally worth the $125 I paid for it.

The huge watches are distasteful. We get it, Swatch sponsors volleyball. You don’t have to wear three farking watches.
On the same note, how dare he not use an Olympus camera?

The stitching on the American flag is awful.

I’d like to think someone leaked these early in protest of how over-processed and ridiculous sports portraiture has been lately.

Giant watches are hideous.

I have the same problem and extend it to the giant sunglasses women and girls are wearing these days.

Well I guess I should just not take pictures of Birds for Farktography anymore. Definitely not feeling any love for my shots this week. Did I really suck that bad with all three?( you can be honest it won’t hurt my feelings anymore than having my pictures completely being ignored.) I expect to wear out my thumb again this week. So at least my pics will have 2 votes each. lol

Honestly, bird photos where the bird does not make up the majority of the image don’t have a lot of visual impact. Your shots are more landscapes that happen to have birds in them rather than portraits of birds. If that makes any sense.

Yeah that makes sense. I just cant seem to get much closer than that around here and cropping enough to make the bird the main thing made the picture tiny. Basically I need a better zoom lens than the EFS 55-250 1:4-5.6 I currently have.

Edited twice for punctuation.

fluffybunny, love the wings and tail open shot. Really shows off the coloring very nicely. Was out walking my dog over the weekend and there was a scissor tail sitting in a tree in one of the park areas we were walking by, he seemed perfectly content to let me walk really quite close, but alas I didn’t even have my phone on me.

And yes, this IS going to be an epic thread.

edit, U-Man, love the part-gray mallard head, you’re right, that’s awesomely sharp. //envy.

Wait. You can leave the house without so much as a cheap point n shoot? How do you do that? every time I leave home without one I see something that reinforces my need to carry a camera even if I will only be gone 10 minutes. I haven’t even taken the garbage to the dumpster without my little Canon PnS in my pocket in 2 years.

Lot of greatness this theme. Of which only one of my three qualify in my opinion. I love my 1st of 3 but I think I over did the processing on the other two. Number one is pretty much straight out of camera though.

46 But I blame my monitor Most of them seemed to be matching colors not a gradient.lol I ain’t complaining when it says your high score can be 1520 for my age range.
