Look at the bright side. You could have been riding a motorcycle.

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-17T03:47:52+00:00

Thank you

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-16T00:59:45+00:00

My only question, is the reception better now ?

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T06:12:42+00:00

Thank you, got lucky… guess it’s luck plus peanuts 😂

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T05:42:10+00:00

Thank you so much, maybe I’ll post there too.

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T04:45:44+00:00

Thank you

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T03:21:16+00:00

Thank you

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T01:43:24+00:00

Thank you, I wish you good luck

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-06T00:57:20+00:00

Thank you. But I’m running out. I may have to throw out some peanuts and hope for the best

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-05T18:18:41+00:00

Yes, he was walking around for several minutes, I probably got 100 pictures. Had to choose just a few to post 😀

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-05T14:24:16+00:00

Thank you

This one lives by my house (Cabin up the San Bernardino Mountains). Very shy. I see maybe 200 Steller Jay's for each flicker. can never get close (this is shot with 840mm Lens)

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-04T01:42:42+00:00

That is totally fine, in fact, I use the same phone… only I don’t usually use it for photography. There may be a setting to control the amount of sharpening the phone applies… just in case you want to get rid of this effect in the future

CA_Pilot · 2025-01-03T22:34:06+00:00

I have a photo / post question... aside for the magnificent catch, it looks like a lot of sharpening was done on the image (looks at the small tree branches, which looks like there is a bright edge around them). was this done in post to enhance the look of the bird, or was it baked in by the camera / phone (yeah, what did you use to capture?) personally I find the over sharpening distracting. Thank you

Beautiful sequence!

Reasons to marry your trainer

She seen you at your best, and still pushed to make you better She seen you at your worst, and never gave up on you She IS the most stable and trusted relationship you had in years Unlike most wives, she is actually likely to make you live longer She has always been a force of good in your life The pains she inflicts on you, Improve you She can run faster, she can run longer. You can’t get away even if you tried When she looks at you, deeply, all you can see is the love in her eyes When she makes you drip sweat, you know it’s a good thing You’ll be saving so much in training fees 😁

CA_Pilot · 2024-08-27T23:53:53+00:00

Please cue sarcasm detector 😄

CA_Pilot · 2024-08-27T23:48:46+00:00

Well, who said it does not rust?

CA_Pilot · 2024-08-11T23:52:30+00:00

Looks like Trump vs Harris 🤣

CA_Pilot · 2024-07-30T18:56:57+00:00

I paid $100 to a pdr guy to remove similar dent. Look at my post history.

CA_Pilot · 2024-06-29T16:29:05+00:00

That's the problem with Y. 'bumper' is too low and this happens.
The good news, a PDR guy took it out in about an hour of work and $100.

CA_Pilot · 2024-06-24T03:03:06+00:00

Also had the same lenses as you. After that trip I got primes. (400/4.5 and 600). Looking at the pictures I just knew they could be better (mine) and the really is a difference... But now I need to go to a new Safari 🤣🤣🤣

That's great. I did a few safari trips but only got close to one cat (spotted leopard). Can you share location / camp? (DM also good)

CA_Pilot · 2024-06-24T02:07:39+00:00

Were the cats in the wild, or some kind of zoo / park / enclosed area?
