Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Very organized and tidy looking. Poof would be proud.

Gene, getting there, waiting for a few more parts to cross the sea from China and a few more from Amazon. By then
we'll be packed and ready for Conowingo (fingers crossed, though recovery going really well)...then work, then Christimas
and heck it will be 2020 before we can start dropping. This one will be another league of complexity, aligning 4 droppers (one
shooting up from below and trying to align 3 coming from above).
I think as soon as Poof feels up to it she'll mix a Xanthum+water mix in the blender and begin the straining process....we'll start
there and slowly move toward neon acrylics

Did I tell you guys/gals I was run over?
Seriously. I dropped Poof off at the hospital (well really I hung around a while until she went to pre-op), then I went home
to check on the cats and decided to get my steps in.
I took off and 1 block a way a major high-school (like 1200 students)....it was when the school day was ending.
I was (walking) crossing a road to get on the walking path and a cheerleader in a car looked 'right' but turned left and accelerated.
Problem was I was to her left and in the middle of the road crossing it.
I remember hand planting on the hood of her car then tumble rolling to the asphalt and then a Indian woman saying 'don't move'.
I tried to get up but could not.
Then another man saying 'EMT is on the way, I'm directing traffic'......
Long story short, you just never know!
I'm fine, didn't even get a bruise from the car hood or the hit and roll on the road.
Made it in time to pick up Poof (5 hours later) and woke up the next day with nary a bruise (good living?).
Well no one else to share with but you all and Poof....the cats don't care.

I think Nikon will exit the camera business at some point. They've been posting huge losses for years and still continue to decline after the Z cameras, which were were expected to turn things around, were released.

They have some obscure, undefined strategy going forward about releasing products that enthusiasts and hobbyists will enjoy... To me this sounds like a greater emphasis on higher end FF mirrorless cameras.

The problem is thst Sony already has a comprehensive line-up of FF mirrorless cameras and lenses in the market, blanketing everything from entry level cams all the way up to the a9II. Sony will always lead on the technological front because they literally own the sensor market. If Nikon's branding wasn't enough to differentiate the Z cameras and drive sales, then I don't see how anything Nikon releases in the future will succeed.

Crazy! sounds like a close call. Glad you are OK!

Holy cow, Robert! Glad you're OK.

Big spam post...

But her hood really took a beating!

Seriously, glad to hear you're OK and you're right, no one knows what the future holds. Don't let that keep you from wanting to get out of bed each morning though.

Lol awesome!

Glad to hear nothing more than a bruise

I went for a tour at the historic Bidwell Mansion in Chico, Ca.

Tripod and flash are not allowed so i was forced to shoot single raws exposing for the highlights. Here's a before and after using LR only.

This is why I don't shoot HDR anymore. Great job.
