Interesting capabilities


 
That's something I've have a hard time accepting with digital photography: the insane ISO film speed equivalents. With film, I generally stuck to ISO400 or slower, just due to grain. My DSLR shoots at ISO3200 comfortably, and long lens with F4/F5.6 apertures just are not long exposures any more.
 
Leaps and bounds over the years. I bought an early Sony DSLR and ISO 800 was pretty grainy in low light. Today they take great pictures of stuff you can barely see.
 
You guys are the worst!
I had told my granddaughter that she could borrow my old digital camera, I moved it when we redid the floors and I’m bumped if I can find it. 20 year old not particularly good so, I’m not too sad about it so, I decided that it was time to chat with the girl about it. She refused to let me buy a new one unless it was for ME! I said fine, I will let her ”try it out” at an assignment for her internship at WIDR doing a shoot for the online magazine. So, I ordered a Canon t7 after reading a couple of comparisons between that and the T8 for the money? The older one will be adequate for most of my needs, if she really finds the other one superior, we will split the cost for her birthday!
you guys are bad but, the kids? I’d get them the moon if they asked for it! Watch out Fletch!
Now, full disclosure, I’ve wanted a new digital camera for 19 years (yep you read that right)🤣🤣!
 
Another device with amazing night vision is the WYZE camera(s). Especially the Version 3 and 3pro. Or the RING camera on my doorbell (we have the RING PRO2
 
I don’t know much about cameras.
I’m replying because there is still a bit of light outside and it’s near 10:30 pm.
These long days do take a toll on us newbies.
The days are still getting longer.
In the winter they will barely be 8 hours of light here.

This shot was taken on my iPhone with just point and click just before 22:30 with no editing or night vision.
I am at 48 degrees north 123 degrees west.

Yeah, where you are you will have another hour or more of dusky light than we do. It's totally nightfall here by 915 to 920. So the shot you have there would be like me shooting at 830 or a little before. In a couple weeks we'll have a little more but we never have as much as when going a little further north/northwest. I recall summers at the lakes in Minnesota. earlier on in our marriage it was a little lake called Ruth Lake we had a cabin on. Near the Mississippi headwaters, back in those days we'd be up there, and would still have light in the sky well after 11pm. After wife's uncle died, the cabin was sold but her dad found a nice lake house near St Cloud MN There too 11 pm and we'd have light. Nice times. Now everyone's gone and no more lake places :(
 
A few years back Barb and I went on an Alaskan cruise. We had an outside cabin with a small patio. One night we came back from dinner and decided to sit out and have a drink or three. Well, we got to talking and I was amazed that it was still daylight, looked at my watch and it was 2AM. Now I know why they had the blackout curtains on the patio door.
 
Great photo, especially since it's from a phone. But I guess phones make the best camera these days. I know one thing, I'm glad I don't have to mow your lawn, LOL

It goes really easy with that big Kubota. 5' at a time :D Honestly it's kind of relaxing. Nice hum from the 3 cyl diesel.
 
LMichaels, your yard looks great 👍.
I wish I could keep a lawn so nice.
Our place came with an abandoned sprinkler system so we have to run around with a portable sprinkler every now and then.
 
Thank you. We invested a lot of time and money in it so I have been watering to the tune of hundreds of $$$ a month (our village water don't come cheap), and this week I will be hooking up the sprayer again to give it a nice shot of fertilizer with minerals and additional iron supplement. When you have a large yard those sprayers are great. Push the button on the tractor dash, apply where needed. I have to also put down more seed and soil conditioner in the front yard and side yard along the garage. Areas where the tree was taken out are filling in well. I just like to have a decent lawn when the kids come so they can have a nice place to play. I don't use lethal chemicals. I simply try to keep the grass healthy enough that pest weeds and such are choked out. It's a lot of work because our soil is so poor.
