My SO and I moved to Pittsburgh 3 years ago. Every summer, beginning in
August, we've heard (but not seen) what we have taken to calling a
"clickety bug". It makes an click-click-click-click-click noise (from 5
to 25 clicks) and then pauses for a minu
I got back from the GFM Camera Clinic around 7:00 pm last night. My wife and

friends before driving the one hour trip home. It was great getting to see
everyone from the list again and all the other old friends as well. Got to

Hi everyone. My name is Charles Braswell Jr and I've decided to join the
list today after lurking for quite a while. I've been checking the posts
daily for around a year and a half and have enjoyed the posts and links to
so many interesting topics. I'm a regular attendant at
Hi Frank,
I made one to join the PDML and now I've done it (scary isn't it). Thanks to
everyone for the great welcome and yes Tan I like to think that I have a
pretty good sense of humor. With some of the mistakes we all make it pays to
be able to laugh at oneself. I'm looking forward to the PDML
I hope you will permit me to add to this thread.

can) don't let the tripod cramp your photographic vision. Take the camera
off the tripod and walk around looking at the subject from different
perspectives and angles (child
Sad, I was just getting to know Frank. I had wondered about him after seeing
the raindeer headpiece. :)

Gee thanks Tan. After seeing your photography I'd say you are very talented
as well.

Hi Jasmine,
Welcome to the list. Frank was right, take lots of pictures and look at lots
of pictures. After you get a feel for the camera controls you might want to
keep a note book and take notes on how you took each image (F-stop setting

Welcome to the list. You got some nice shots there. I like the lighting on

the sunbeams through the trees.

Hi Shel,
I don't know if it would qualify as the toughest but I had a PZ-1 that
really took a lot of abuse and never let me down. I believe it was in
October 1998 that I dropped this particular camera into Price Lake on the
Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I was a workshop team member and div
Hi Frank,
Those were very good comments and I enjoyed them. I'm glad that you hit send

just because they have digital.

Hi Dave,
Last time I photographed lightning with digital I set the ISO to 400 (I've
used ISO 800/F4 in the past too) and set the aperture to F8. The camera
should be on a tripod (obviously be careful of this if you are near the
strikes and remember lightning can strike you from a great distance)
Hi Dave,
Yes I was assuming that you were taking lightning pictures at night (I
somehow missed the word dusk). I should have also said to use a normal or
wider lens to increase your chances of capturing a strike. It is tough to
point a telephoto lens at the right spot but with some storms when the

Nice work Mark! Your work is always outstanding.
My favorites are 2, 6, 9 and 16. In #2 and #6 I like the color of the flower

Hi Paul,
That is a great portrait. Makes me think of a fellow I saw a few days ago in
a restaurant in Lenoir, NC. I got his name and plan on getting some shots of
him when I get a chance. As I'm sure you know it is best not to pass on
those kind of opportunities. Thanks for sharing.
