MPB is a company that purchases and sells used camera ewquioment. I have seen them for years.They are like a similar company KEH. I have sold some stuff through KEH, but they buy loss (my loss) and sell your product for a profit. I've had no direct dealing with then. I jusrt know that they have...

Yes- I too would be interested in a follow up of your bringing a drone to Oman. As I previously menrtioned, I looked into it and found it to be too daunting. The best outcome would have been to declare it and store it at the airport and collect it on the way out. All very time consuming while...

Thanks Macfawlty: Actually, all of the elephants in the Blue Forest have been given names. This elephant is Fred, and he is one of the ones that stands on their hind legs to grab the seed pods of the trees. They are all habituated (used to seeing humans). Dale

Thank you. I have never been closer to an African elephant. I wanted to reach out and clean the mucus off of his eyes.

That is certainly a beautiful image with great detail in the shadows and the layering gives a three dimensional look to it. Dale

I would add that since I have long ago switched from PC to Apple, that my iMAC is more graphics friendly and intuitive. I realize this statement may elicit some push back. Dale

I liked the video- I also agree that it was on the slightly under-exposed side, but easily corrected in post. If you were darkening on purpose, I think it went a bit too far. Have very often considered doing a photo trip to South Dakota Badlands. They are very beautiful. Were there any...

Bernard: Loved the video! My wife and I were there in the 70's and it looks like there has not been much change. The Osmo Pocket 3 did a great job, and the music tracks (Enya) were well selected. How did you get the overhead shots of the pyramids? The camel hustlers are still there bargaining...

I think you should buy the highest RAM you can afford. I use an i MAC with 16 GB and I still run out of memory. I found this on Chat GPT

I read the ad and also wondered immediately where this drone was purchased from. I think the seller might be happy to tell us the original source. Dale Davis M.D. Miami

I brought a Mavic Mini 4 Pro to Poland for a recent tour and had no problem at customs entry in Krakow. I did go on to the EASA web site and registered the drone for Poland and had the proper app on my phone for flying in Poland. I took the preliminary EASA test and passed it after 6 times. I...

A few more gorgeous exotic birds. These birds are very challenging to photograph. They are in constant motion, and never rest for more than several seconds. Working fast is mandatory in photographing them. Not so easy with a big lens. click on image to enlarge Carmine Bee Eater in flight...

Here are some more shots where I spent hours corralling herds of impala to set up a shot. Using a telephoto lens, high shutter speed and the ability of my guide and assistant to force the herd to run through my predicted target area, I pre-focused, and set the camera to high shutter rate...

Thanks for your input. Dale
