The Streak Continues: 270

This blog was published at 4:00am, again from my Mom’s home on Long Island. I am heading to Nickerson for another busman’s holiday. I am on Long Island until this coming Thursday while visiting my elderly (gonna be 92 soon) Mom, my younger sister Arna, my younger daughter Alissa and her wonderful family, and doing some late summer bird photography. So far, the photography has been phenomenal. This post makes 270 in a row.

As always, I would appreciate your using the BIRDS AS ART B&H affiliate links for all of your major gear, video, and electronic purchases, using our Amazon logo-link for all of your household purchases, and visiting the BAA Online Store for your tripod, tripod head, LensCoat, miscellaneous, accessories, and eGuide purchases as well.

Delkin e-Film Pro Flash Cards

Two of my Delkin 64gb compact flash cards came out of an extended spin spin in my Mom’s washing machine yesterday and, as expected, having done the same thing before, continued to function perfectly. One was the older 64gb 700X UDMA CF card and the other was a 64gb 1000X UDMA CF card that I use when doing video.

I have used and depended on Delkin CF cards since digital day one; you can order yours here.

Your Help Is Needed

Sales for most of August, 2014 via our BIRDS AS ART B&H affiliate links have been microscopically abysmal at best. If you need to purchase some new camera gear, please remember to use either our B&H logo link below or one of the product-specific links in the blog or the Bulletins.

Image Questions

What colors do you see in this image?

Have you ever seen light like this?

Describe what you think the situation was in detail…. Please be as specific as possible.

I was standing. Where was I ???

Can you get these colors on a clear morning?

Why the 5D III?

When I left my Mom’s at 4:30am I was sure that I had taken both 1D X batteries. When I got to the beach I realized that I must have dreamed that. The two batteries were still in the charger on my Mom’s living room table. So the 5D III was it. It quite working once for about a minute right after I created this image. And on the UK puffin trip the rear LDC had died for several days. Both occurrences were possibly related to dampness in the air…. As soon as I get home my 5D III goes to the Canon Repair Center in Jamesburg, NJ (100 Jamesburg Road, Jamesburg, NJ 08831, tel: 732-521-7007).
