Billy Idol standing outdoors in a forest filled with vibrant orange autumn leaves. Billy Idol is wearing a chunky, cable-knit tan cardigan over a dark shirt and light blue jeans. They have curly light-colored hair and are holding a coffee cup in one hand while extending the other arm outward in a relaxed pose. At the top of the image, bold text reads: β€œIt’s a nice day for a light sweater… It’s a nice day for a CARDIGAAAN!” The overall scene has a warm, fall aesthetic.

DEPECHE MODE - 101 - LIVE - A Re-Edit For The Masses - Retro style extended fan-edit version

I think if there was a single concert that I was allowed to go back and see that I've never seen before this would be the concert. I've seen Depeche Mode live I know at least once maybe twice? But seeing them at this period would have been pretty awesome.

A Nikon D100 camera with its strap attached sits on a wooden table next to a glass of dark beverage. The background shows an outdoor cafΓ© with benches, tables, patio heaters, string lights, and an orange canopy. A building with columns and windows is visible in the distance.

Today's walk around kit. I'd love to find a wider prime for this camera. 35mm on this crop sensor is a bit limiting.

A white dog with black spots sleeping on a light surface, partially covered by a plush blanket with an autumn leaf and acorn pattern in brown, orange, and yellow tones. The dog’s eyes are closed, and its nose is visible.

Who needs multi-megapixels when you have 1.6. megapixels.

A collection of vintage digital photography equipment displayed on a wooden surface. The centerpiece is a silver Sony Digital Mavica camera with a black lens cap attached and multiple feature stickers, including β€˜Stamina 1600 mAh InfoLithium L’ and β€˜MemoryStick compatible.’ To the left of the camera are two black Sony NP-F550 rechargeable batteries marked with arrows and β€˜InfoLithium L.’ A coiled black USB cable lies nearby. In the bottom right corner, several colorful floppy disksβ€”red, green, blue, and blackβ€”are stacked together, representing older storage media.

I've changed my mind about taking my mirrorless and dslrs for the Camera Club shootout competition tomorrow. This kit has everything. Extra memory discs, extra batteries, and a disc card reader. I'm set. I'm going to win this thing.

A white dog with black spots and another dog are lying on a light gray couch. The white dog is partially wrapped in a white blanket decorated with autumn-themed prints like leaves, acorns, and coffee cups, while the other dog is next to it, partially covered by a beige and brown blanket. Behind them is a dining table with chairs and kitchen cabinets, with various items scattered on the table and counters, creating a cozy home setting.

I don't really care to win, I just want to go take pictures and hang out with other photographers. I'm tempted to take the two older cameras. I also want to take the newer camer as and some vintage lenses. I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

Four Nikon cameras arranged in a circular pattern on a wooden surface: a vintage-style Nikon with Viltrox lens, a Nikon Z with 28mm f/2.8 lens, a Nikon DSLR with AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens, and another Nikon DSLR with AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D lens.

So I've got a camera club competition this Saturday. It's in my old haunting grounds of Cobb County Georgia. My dilemma is which camera to take in which lenses to take. Do I take just one camera and one lens?

A scenic outdoor setting with a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff into a shallow stream. Large rocks and boulders are scattered in the water. A couple in formal attire stands closely together on one of the rocks, possibly posing for a photo. Nearby, a person stands on another rock with arms outstretched, seemingly directing or gesturing toward the couple. In the background, two more individuals stand near lush green foliage and trees with autumn-colored leaves, enhancing the natural and picturesque atmosphere.

A close-up view of a camera on a tripod capturing an image of a waterfall in a forested area. The camera's screen displays the waterfall scene, which includes cascading water over rocks, surrounded by trees with autumn foliage. The actual scene behind the camera shows the same waterfall and rocky terrain, emphasizing the natural beauty and vibrant colors of the setting.

Fortunately I was done shooting the falls before the wedding was done (which was happening behind me on one of the platforms). Here is the bride and groom getting their picture taken after their vows. I have no idea who these people are.

Close-up of a Nikon Z camera with an AF 20mm 1:2.8 lens resting on a wooden surface outdoors. To the left of the camera is a glass filled with a dark beer. The background is blurred, showing trees and a building structure, suggesting an outdoor patio or backyard setting.

The look I get when it’s dinner time.
Nikon Z8, Fujifilm Fujinon 55mm f1.8

I’m considering selling this lens. Heading to the highlands of Scotland next June and I’d love to get the 24-120 f4. Since switching to Nikon, I haven’t a single modern auto focus zoom. Only primes so far.

I took my camera everywhere for years. Stopped for a bit and now I'm getting back into the habit. Maybe not everytime I leave the house (yet) but certainly when I go for a walk.

Nikon ZF and the Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 35-105mm 3.5-4.5. I'm sure I'll post a few pics later today of what I saw with this combo.

Decided to take a short walk around the hood this afternoon. About 2 .5 miles. It's overcast and not too hot. I wanted to take the D100 but I can't find my CF card reader. Stopped to take a break and have a draft. Beer - Cigar City - Good Gourd
Pumpkin ale w/ cinnamon, allspice, clove, & nutmeg.
