Do you mind sharing what telephoto lens you’re using Ron? I’m looking for one for my Canon T3i. Right now I only have the 55-250 mm lens that came with it.

Not sure, Rick, but I think he's using an upcycled one off an old U2!:laughing:

I worked with our U2’s when I came back from Asia for my last 6 months. Good stuff!

Are you shooting from a tripod?

Camera is Canon 6D. Lens is a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary, DG AF OS. Very few pictures are taken with tripod. Camera and lens have object stabilization. Even moon pictures are taken without tripod.

Thanks Ron. My Canon has image stabilization as well. $899 on Amazon and Best Buy. Did you find a better price?

finished planting the last of the flowers, 60 degrees, sunny day, very windy.
Talking with my neighbor and both our hats blew off in the same gust, had a good laugh after that.
Change of clothes to gym shorts and tshirt, everything I wore outside went into washer.
Now a quiet afternoon in.

I bought mine from a person that sells used lenses on Facebook Market Place. $675. My 6D is a full frame Camera. Not sure how much difference that makes. I also have a 7D. It is not full frame. While it takes great pictures. They are not the same as 6D. There is also a difference in cameras that use EFS lens. Both of mine use EF lenses.

My T3i uses EF lenses as well Ron. I'll keep an eye out for "used" but .. I don't do Facebook.

Nice ducks, Ron. If they stick around you will probably score some fresh duck eggs. The female will lay X number of eggs. If you take the eggs out of the nest as soon as you see them, she will keep laying until she gets to X or fall sets in.
I had ducks with my chickens, I'd rather have duck eggs than chicken eggs.

I haven't had any problems logging in to TBN at all.

The air filter for the Kioti from the dealer cost$ me $54.oo (Donaldson) and the cross reference one from Baldwin costs $26.oo. I got the Baldwin filter. I think it was time to change it.
Which one is the old one? Certainly NOT the one on top.

I was still living in Columbus when Xenia got wiped out, and remember going outside to look at the monster T- storms, hoping not to see any funnels. Never did, and hope it stays that way for you, too, Rich!

Still only 13 CoVid cases county wide here, but another was just confirmed yesterday that hasn't been added to the official count yet. No deaths, but still no wide spread testing, so nobody really knows how many have been infected with mild cases.

Your internet experience sounds like what Frontier was doing, and still may be doing, to its customers. They refuse to upgrade their failing copper based infrastructure, instead overworking their repair crews to keep the old stuff shambling along. I understand the big players are once again offering unlimited cellular plans, but that their definition of unlimited means no data caps, but with reduced speed once a certain level of data consumption is reached. Since the shelter in place orders were issued, this satellite connection is almost unusable, with long delays in fetching even static pages, and thirty seconds of buffering for every five seconds of video. I say this just so you know that it could always be worse...:smiley_aafz:

Had a former co worker who lived in Xenia, his house got wiped out more than once in tornado's, think every 10-15 years or so.
Preferred Dayton, less moving objects in the air.
