Congratulations! Is that a Canon ring? That's what came with mine. Not a perfect fit but close enough.

thank you...

yes - the tripod foot is for a Canon 70-200/4 and is a close-enough fit...

Sorry everyone, I'm out. After the loss of my K-3, I've not recovered my daily mojo (in fact the opposite), so today will be my last daily submission. Hopefully back when the camera is repaired and/or I find a replacement.

Sorry to hear. Hope you get it sorted out soon. We'll miss your insight and images.

Really starting to feel the pain of shorter days here now. sunrise after 8:30, sunset at 3:30pm, sun is 10° above the horizon at its highest - and a dull cloud cover most of the time.

Ok, it could have been worse - up north they had their last sunset of the year two days ago. Next sunrise will be January 20th a bit after 11am

Fascinating how they are eager to tell you about "The Land of the Midnight Sun" without mentioning that the downside is being "The Land of No Sun Whatsoever for Two Full Months"

I cannot imagine living there - it's bad enough for me that it's dark when I leave for the office and almost dark when I get home....

my production goes way off during the work-week, but I try to make up for it on the weekends and holidays (like today)...

That's right; Happy Thanksgiving! It's just another day here, though.

The winters are definitely not what keeps me here

The long days of summer make up for most of it, and other perks of our society tip the balance well over to the positive side. Then, of course, friends and family push the scale even further. The darkness still gets me down, though.

Talking of family, I'll be off to see some cousins tomorrow, then back home to a house full children and grandchildren on Saturday and Sunday. Might well be a few days without my participation, or at least with late postings.

Well, I have clawed my way out of the Valley of the Shadow of Death, but I'm a long way from the mountain top. At least I feel like I'll last another day or two. I have a few images in the camera that I will post in the appropriate threads later today. I hope all of you are well.

What happened?????

**savoche** · 11-24-2017, 06:53 AM

Right now I'm more worried about your wellbeing than mine! What's going on?

First of all let me say that I'm engaging in some hyperbole. I have been down for about a week with a severe cold or possibly flu. My "get and go done got up and went." I'm feeling much better with just a little residual cough and a bit of a sniffle. I actually managed to get images on all but one or 2 days and when I post them I will be caught up. Commenting is a different kettle of fish...

Todd is "housebound" right now, so I've taken the liberty of posting the December DIC thread here.

Christmas is a'comin'

Congrats! And to Rod for his shot from the 24th as well. We're racking up a lot of Explores this month

**babywriter** · 11-29-2017, 03:44 PM

Hey, all - I'm currently 300 miles away from home and caring for my stepfather, who is recovering from pneumonia. Probably I'm going to be out of commission, shooting wise, for the rest of the week. I'll try to comment when I can.

Sorry to hear about the Step Dad's illness. Take care - don't worry about us.
