  1. As a general rule 1.4 times the focal length equals the slowest hand held shutter speed in the denominator (as in 1/x). My tripod converts to a monopod so I will be using one or the other depending what I'm going for that day. For wildlife I'll use the monopod and for landscapes the tripod. Maybe handheld with a higher ISO for handheld birds, ambient light permitting. This is a relatively slow lens with an f8 sweet spot.

    Cigars

    Oliva Connecticut wrapper, La Fleur de Los Antillis (spelling) and Carrrilo are nice cigars, but I prefer Grand Marnier.
  3. I was surprised to see several in Wisconsin today...I guess they didn't get the migration memo. They were going to town on whatever they could find, but that will be over with the frost tonight. Sad. Maybe they are to old to migrate.
  4. I prefer not taking a chance for the camera to get wet. Plus the Tammy has a lot of reach, so wading should not be necessary.
  5. The quality of the flour and the ability to incorporate naturally occurring yeast in the air will also make a difference on proof time. With time it should get better.
  6. If I get any worthwhile shots I will definitely share them. - Charlie
  7. I have one located in Springfield, IL, but you will need to take the Force 5 sailboat (similar to a laser) with it. If you are interested I can take a picture. - Charlie
  8. It is, I read a lot of good reviews on it and have seen some photos taken with it, so I decided to get one.
  9. Sounds like there might be some good opportunities to observe wildlife from the trail. I have a 150-600mm arriving this week and I'm looking forward spending some time with it. - Charlie
  10. That's my plan, I'll be looking for places to observe the natural wildlife and hopefully get some good shots.

    We Be Jamming

    My favorite is peach habanero, not as hot as you might expect, and perfect for a cold morning.
  12. I'm headed to Montauk on the 15th and would appreciate any recommended locations for scenic or wildlife photo opportunities when we're not fishing. For example are there any hiking trails along the river with good access for viewing waterfowl and the like? Thanks in advance! - Charlie
  13. Taking a CPR/First Aid course is so worthwhile. Hopefully you will never need to use it, but there is satisfaction in knowing that you have the knowledge. Phil and Marty, it is with sadness that you had to apply your knowledge. If I am ever in need, I hope there are people of your caliber around.

    Pepperd Duck

    Is it to early to place an order for a signed copy of the BilletHead family cookbook? You guys KNOW how to live!
  15. What a great adventure, thanks for sharing it.
  16. Where were you when I built my Chesapeake Lightcraft 17' in 1999? I have a purchased rudder and I totally agree thet it is worth having on a long waterline kayak with a decent keel line and hard chine. Not so sure it is worth it on a river kayak though. Love your design!

    Skunk Removal

    The old fashion way to get rid of the skunk is to put lutefisk under the porch, works every time. The downside is you may find a family of Norwegians now living there. Yes I am Norwegian and no I do not eat lutefisk.
  18. During my annual prostate exam I can't wait to show my doctor how healthy I am.
  19. Loved the post.

    Nice report, where in southern Illinois was this?
  21. Three years ago I bought a Toro zero turn with a 25 hp Kawasaki engine... I will never go back to a lawn tractor. Never had a problem with the Toro and I cut the lawn in less time.
  22. Please send me pictures, I tried to send a PM from my iPad but it would not got through. Thanks!

    Smoked Pig

    I need to BBQ this weekend!
  24. A little off topic, but all the knives in my kitchen always get a few swipes through the double sided hand held ceramic sharpener. While the quality of the knives is not top drawer, sharp knifes is all that matters. With that said, nothing carves better than my 100 yr old+ carbon steel knife. Wasn't it Hannibal Lechter who said nothing carves like carbon steel, or something similar?
