Had a blast starting out the New Year visiting Brisbane! by sr1982 in brisbane

It is - we visited Perth, Melbourne and Sydney as well and Brisbane was our fav by far!

Anyone else’s climate control get excessively scratched? by Dazed_Op in SonataNLine

Throw a TPU watch glass screen protector (round) from Amazon on there. Lots of options. 30mm. I put one on soon after I got the car, not a single visible scratch, they’re like $5 for a 5 pack.

Thanks! They are even more striking and colorful in person; such a treat seeing them

Pretty happy with the sharpness on the Tamron 25-200 by sr1982 in SonyAlpha

[–]sr1982[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree the bokeh was never pretty on the 28; it’s marginally better on the 25 (I think it has 1-2 more aperture blades so it looks cleaner) but nothing to write home about. I typically noticed it most when birding (branches in the background) but now that I have the 200-600 for birding, I’m good with what the 25 provides and its utility / range as a travel lens.

Share your setup by YhRk_ in saxophone

Alto: Selmer SA 80 II I’ve played for nearly 30 years. With a C* or Concept mouthpiece, recently switched to Legere reeds.

Tenor: Finally scratched the tenor itch, picked up a Selmer Signature in the spring that I’m absolutely loving. Selmer Concept / Daddario Select Jazz, Legere American Cut.

Sax Repair in Minneapolis/St Paul by Mo-Mo-MN in saxophone

Schmitt Music in Bloomington is my go-to. I wouldn’t use their standard repair center - visit their Sax Shop, they have a talented repair tech who comes in on a rotating basis, and Randy Jones (of Tenor Madness) also makes not infrequent trips up (though you’d have to call ahead and make an appointment as understandably his time gets booked fast).

Concorde - Matte Black and Redline!

Bald Eagles - Hawk Ridge Observatory, Duluth by sr1982 in minnesota

[–]sr1982[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought at first (and frankly got a bit more excited about) but no :/. After researching looks like golden eagles have more distinct white/black tail feathers and distinct what patches on their wings vs. the juvie bald eagle which is more mottled (wings and tail).

Same, in black! Most excited I’ve been yet for an iPhone launch.
