From what I've seen, this appears to be the European hornet, that migrated to North America sometime last century and now definitely represents the most common hornet and source of such nests ...

I don't usually post exhibits, but am doing so now because it's on-topic (and not an entry because I know I've posted it multiple times in the past -- personal preference).

Thanks for taking the mantle. I'll kick things off with a decidedly atypical architectural photo featuring my new "neighbors."

In fairness to Sue Anne, her top post did not specify a limit on the number of entries. Although most hosts set a limit of three entries, I'm not aware of any forum rule about this. Personally, ...

I appreciate your observations and the general thought of this post. In fact, I pretty much agree with the ultimate outcome. I have never used either of the cameras you compared but have always ...

I mean, "what line?" ;-)

Does this appear in the same location of every photo, regardless of zoom? I'm assuming there are no visible scratches on the lens, and I would not expect them to be in focus if there were. My ...

You beat me to it, but this was my suggestion as well. Among other things, a basic C mode is very handy as a tourist -- after handing my camera to a helpful fellow traveler to include me along ...

You're likely looking at the G5 X-II or G7 X-II. Check the DPR camera feature search tool to fine-tune your priorities and needs.

I thought there was something a little different, but I have not been to San Francisco since I was a very young. Thanks for the details.

Thanks again to all who entered, exhibited, and commented in the latest mini-challenge. I know interest in these tends to wax and wane, so I do appreciate seeing multiple entries to consider. Dan H ...

Ditto for my wife's display of miniature collectables -- it's my go-to test scene for ever camera. But we don't need to talk about all of the shots of my foot propped on my desk.

The end of the entry period is now past, with (by my count) 11 entries submitted. Thank you all, and feel free to continue posting exhibits and comments. I'll select a winner by Sunday and pass ...

Absolutely, and I see nothing weird about it. I figure the more time I spend handling the device when I'm not shooting anything, the less likely it'll be that I am left fumbling and trying to ...

Last call for POV photo entries -- the mini-challenge ends at noon EDT today, giving a little more than three hours left to capture some unique perspectives and comb those catalogs. While I'm ...

Nice one, and true to the theme, Sue Anne. It took me a few minutes of head scratching to figure out just what I was looking at.

G5 X (I & II) also feature an EVF and are more compact for travel and slightly lower in price than the G1 X III.

For me, travel photography is all about the personal memories, plus the convenience of a portable kit. More zoom is nice but not really what I'm looking for. In Europe, you're taking in museums, ...

Challenge Accepted! I forget which zoo this was Atop a dormant volcano in Dominica with our local guide (he's the one with the purple cap) Sorry, no war zones.

I like the shot, Crandell -- good use of POV to accentuate the lines of the track in this composition. Thanks for submitting it.
