Need to find my old AE-1, might still have some film in the fridge.  How long does it keep?

In the fridge? Years. In the freezer? Decades.

Given how good I think the A7IV is, this is something I'll likely look for used in a few years.  I really believe the sensor size is pretty idea.  The A7RV I get to use at work now is pretty amazing but the file sizes are enormous and I often don't need that much resolution even for large (30"x40") prints.

My D200 is now over 20 years old, and while it shows its age, it still works.  The 300 F/4 I keep permanently attached to it is from 1987, but it has aged like a fine wine.  I use the combination to catch the local wildlife, usually without leaving my house.

The "lawn crew."  This is from September, and the Hathaway house has now seen major renovations.  More on that later.

The corner of the mower shed is a prime squirrel snack bar.

*honk* *honk*  Canada geese don't actually like the pond that much, because it's surrounded by trees.  They prefer Sweetened Water Pond, across the street.  Even though it's a much smaller pond, it's open and they find id easier to access.  With that said, the geese will sometimes slum it and land in Jernegan pond.

 

The ducks are slightly more frequent in their appearances, but they too prefer the more open pond.

*gobble* Survived another thanksgiving.

 

I took a bunch of photos of this fatso, but I've only one I've edited so far.

 

Tune in next time for fall colors, antique lenses, and irritated kitties.
