    Carrying equipment

    Hi, When I go out to take photos I usually carry a knapsack and a shoulder bag. I am wondering what other people carry and if there is a better way to do it. I keep my camera equipment in the shoulder bag where it is easy to access. In the knapsack I carry some food and in the summer, bottles...

    Does anyone know what it is doing in the attached video? (The video is 632x460, if your video player opens in full screen mode, the video might look clearer is you reduced the size of the player window. ) Why does it do that? Thanks in advance.

    Coyotes and Wild Turkeys

    Hi, I'm new to this sub forum so I hope a post like this is okay. (Some sites don't like it when you post about your blog). But I saw a similar post so I'll give it a go: I saw some wild turkeys foraging seemingly unperturbed by the presence of a coyote who did not seem terribly interested...

    Manfrotto tripod and head are they compatible?

    That is what I do. But it doesn't hold. I think that is because the screw is supposed to go into the groove around the perimeter which has depressions that would seem to be meant for the screw to go into. As it is, the screw does not go into the groove and I think that is why it doesn't hold the...

    Manfrotto tripod and head are they compatible?

    Hi, I recently bought a manfrotto 290 xtra aluminum tripod legs with a 128RC head, they came together in the same box. The head does not stay attached properly. I think the attached photo shows what the problem is. Is that how the head should attach to the legs? Shouldn't the screw go...

    60x zoom camera's auto focus does not work well recording videos.

    I am trying to use a Nikon Coolpix B700 for video but the autofocus does not work well while recording videos. If I stop recording and press the shutter half way, the autofocus for still pictures works fine. It's only when making videos that there is a big problem with auto focus. The...

    Selecting a tripod.

    I bought the manfrotto 290 Xtra aluminum legs with the 128RC head. They were sold together (in a boxed package). They are an improvement over the tripod I had been using - the main improvement is that my old tripod had a lot of recoil and drift on the tilt movement. There is no drift and much...

    What resolution are uploaded videos converted to?

    Hi, I uploaded a 1080p video and noticed it seems to have been converted to a lower resolution. Does anyone know what the resolution of uploaded videos is? I would like to know since there is a 250 MB limit and I would upload longer videos of lower resolution if I knew what the maximum...

    How to ID Juvenile Wild Turkeys

    Grebes? 9/8/16 Farm Pond, Framingham MA

    Hi, The first photo shows two birds. I think the top one is a pied-billed grebe. The lower one looks "different". I am wondering if it is a juvenile pied-billed grebe? If not, what is it? The second photo is another view of "juvenile". Both images are from frames from this video...

    Looks like an adult great blue heron but much smaller. Framingham MA 9/1/16

    Hi, Is the bird in these photos an adult great blue heron? It is much smaller than other adult great blue herons I've seen. Someone else also thought this was smaller than usual and referred to it as a "baby" great blue heron. But this bird has a white crown like an adult, and anyway aren't...
