FStoppers is apparently seeking a less credible status. Best wishes to them in that chosen pursuit.

National guard for now, with the hopes of becoming a CSI/forensics expert. Hope she makes it, our oldest is a medical scientist, so it should make for interesting family reunion discussions.

This is what I think of this article. It is good clickbait though. Any clicks, even bad clicks, count...

I presume this is a shot taken by you. If so, well timed, high fps alone would not have gotten it.

Yes, sadly the neighbor's pet is no longer among the living. It was a well timed shot, pretty crappy of me taking his pic while he was doing his business. :)

Usually so from April to May and then again late Sept to Oct, any other time, either the irrigation system has to be on, or everything dies.

His rationale, I don't want to use what everyone else is using, regardless of how good it might be. What an assinine reason. My differentness makes me special. Get over yourself cupcake, it's about your images.

FStoppers is a clickbait site. They make money by getting you to click through sensationalized headings so they can serve you more ads.

Their truly original content can occasionally be intelligent and thought-provoking, but most of what they publish is just content curated from other sites, with headlines designed to maximize clicks or search engine hits.

I've quickly learned to skip any FStoppers link on my Google searches.

could not believe what I was reading, I mean really:!: who gives a toss about how cool the gear looks, its about getting the job done photographically, its why I still use a 5DIII as my full frame set up, it may be boring but it produces the goods. my crop camera these days is a Fuji XT3, both cameras do what I want from them. What a stupid article:rolleyes:
