man I sure hope not...my day job is hit hard when that happens...but we end up lagging behind, while everyone else was starting to suffer, we were still slammed, but by mid 2009 we were tanked...I nearly lost my job along with most every other architect...a crash like that again would also drastically affect my photography plans...

Yeah not something anyone wants....but it's been a 10 year bull run built on a global debt binge. It's long overdue. Probably should have happened this year, but tax cuts kicked the can down the road a bit. But once companies start posting post rate hike and tariff earnings, things will get shaky. Corporaye debt bubble is pretty scary. The fact that the market tanked y'day is a bad omen. December is known to be a good month because of the Santa claus rally, but it's been a bad month.

You’re fully awake Carlo. Going to be a major shock to those who haven’t been paying attention.

Great time to leave the EU. NOT!!

I do agree Eddie. I might not completely agree with all the EU stuff, but I think we're still better off in than out. What's it been now, 2.5 years...? And where are we? No one knows.....

We're having a wet Christmas this year...Merry Christmas everyone!

It didn't take long for him to dry out after the rain.

Here's a close-up of my 'fireplace'. With the flip of a switch, I can turn the heat off and on or the 'flames' or both.

WOW! You need to print this or better yet sell it for a good money.

Totally. There are a lot of things that are pretty worrisome right now.....but long story short is that when the 2008 financial crisis happened, the actions taken to stabilize the financial markets came at the expense of wages, employment rates, and real inflation in terms of the actual cost of living (not the BS CPI metrics people use). Basically the rally since 2009 was built upon a bunch of inflationary bubbles propped up by low interest rates....corporate debt (i.e. toys r us), housing bubble MKII, student loans, government bonds etc etc.

Problem is that eventually the fed is eventually going to have to deal with inflation and unwind Quantitative Easing to stabilize the currency...we're at that point now so interest rates have to come up, and all of those bubbles and the underlying asset prices are going to correct/deflate/crash. We created artificial growth with low interest rates and everyone was happy because the public tends to measure the health of the economy by how the stock market and their 401(k)'s are doing. But the laws of economics are coming to collect, and when that check is cashed it's going to be painful.

The little Osmo did just what I wanted it too...great for family stuff at times like today...found out about the 4GB file size limit the hard way last night, but now I know and will plan ahead. Next up, DV...Merry Christmas everyone!

I've shot more video in the past 3 days than I have all year so I'd say the pocket is a winner. I can't unsee the noise when shooting indoors though...but noisy video from the osmo pocket is better than shaky video with no noise from my a7riii.

This scares the **** out of me.

dont have the osmo but the latest go pro..

regarding the noise indoors.. yeah.. its there..

but the ease of use that these little devices (compared to our ILC's ) give with a bit higher quality than our phones means we are capturing moments that we often dont bother with just because of "setup time" or effort required to not look shakey ..

20 years later when we look at these family videos with smiles and watery eyes the grain or noise will the last thing on our minds

Agreed...it is much more stable...at the sacrifice of some noise.

Carlo there are bubbles upon bubbles!
I've been prepping for decades. I just have to make the cabin

Well I hope all had a Merry Christmas.
I spent 3 hours Christmas Eve culling 200GB of 1DXii files.
7TBs of internal dives were full and it will be another week before the new PC
gets here.
What I found many many times going through sequence after sequence of 1DXii files
was me saying 'the a9 wouldn't have lost tracking like that' or 'no way the Sony would have
missed'.
After the session of deleting I'm 200GB richer in space.....about what I shot at Bosque in 3 days.
Nothing wrong with external drives eh? There are three attached now. At least the new PC will
have way more blue USBs and 3 USB-Cs.

Back to photography.
Two places to go if you are into bird photography and both with the FE12-24
