The Streak Continues: 270<\/h3>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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<\/a> for your tripod, tripod head, LensCoat, miscellaneous, accessories, and eGuide purchases as well.<\/p>\n

Delkin e-Film Pro Flash Cards<\/h3>\n

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 <\/a>and the other was a 64gb 1000X UDMA CF card<\/a> that I use when doing video. <\/p>\n

I have used and depended on Delkin CF cards since digital day one; you can order yours here.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Your Help Is Needed<\/h3>\n

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. All should feel free to write me via e-mail<\/a><\/center for gear advice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
