Perhaps having served in three wars, and being in law enforcement for nearly 30 yrs I've seen a different world and side of humanity than you have and am more vigilant and aware of protecting my...

But he continued to say......." yet they see this in OUR land everyday." So where is his "land" if he was a native Brit?

.......that'd be too good for him. I'd prefer to see him get due "justice" from the angry inmate population..........

Hopefully he'll be placed within the prison population mingled with some British patriots instead of a more protective or solitary confinement........perhaps 'justice' will not be so swift......

After the recent attack how will the UK proceed with imposing justice? We in the US are split between capital punishment and life imprisonment for heinous crimes..........depends on the state...

Why wouldn't you bring a gun to a knife fight? The ones that don't stood at the end of the street, ........it took 20 minutes for the armed police to arrive.....

Even after the OP commented that it was his real name and he has "endured jokes about it for decades", why didn't he use only the first initial in the first place?   Seemed to me that he was...

Hard grads are generally preferred for level, uncluttered horizons whereas soft are preferred more when the horizon is uneven or obstructed by mountains or trees. This article is an interesting...

Yes it's a great camera.....and I like the pic.I like the composition but it still seems rather noisy. Since it was mounted on a tripod I would've suggested a lower ISO while using a wider aperture...

Congrats to Joe.......and to Jay7h and to the rest of the HMs.......thanks Ivan for being a great host and for my 'bronze' and exhibition picks.....

As I said previously, in the case of the 500f/4 you attach the strap to the strap lug on the lens.....

Ditto.........if using a proper technique with the proper cleaning equipment, i.e., blower, brush, microfiber cloth, etc., you shouldn't have any issues.  I only use CP filters and very seldom at...

...........if 'protective' filters were suggested by the camera mfrs wouldn't they have provided threads on their more expensive, top of the line super telephoto lenses? They don't, .......but they...

Because of the fine threads and machined surfaces of premium filters I can see where one would be weather resistant but not weather proof. For one, Canon suggests attaching a filter to their...

You would get more responses and also see that an identical thread exists........

That's one weak argument I've never agreed with.......since they most likely didn't use a hood which would've provided much better protection. Don't they realize a filter is a fragile thin piece of...

I don't see a problem with the BR attached to the camera tripod mount since your lens foot will sit atop the tripod. But I'd get rid of the BR and get one by Op/Tech anyway..........

Something like this....? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/556344-REG/Induro_490_321_DM_RPL_14_1_4_20_Camera_Screw.html Do a search on their site....... I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're...

Aaahh, one of my all time favorites......I really love the way it's backlit......glad to see it again, Bob.........

When you start a thread or reply to a post open one of those 3 icon boxes on the top right of your text window. They should allow you to select a pic from the web, computer or your gallery here on...
