Just a snapshot of a thing I saw recently but that I had not seen for at least 20 years before that. It used to be a fairly frequent site over NYC and surrounding areas decades ago. View attachment 480936

This was a familiar site in the Houston area about 50 years ago.

What are you guys using for equipment? I havent taken my DSLR out in years, mostly because I don’t usually feel like carrying it around. I sometimes debate on starting to use it again or maybe upgrading to something new.

I have pretty much migrated over to mirrorless. Nikon Z6II, Z8, and Z9, but still have a D850 that sees regular use. In fact, it is being used today.

I was a fortunate lad and got a ride back in '68, just before the World's fair. Left the International Airport, circled the Tower of the America's, and back to the airport. From what I remember, it was loud!

Probably flew all over the USA, I guess.

It had a hanger at Spring, TX for several years.

When I was last into photography, I was using a Nikon FM2 film camera. I had a few Tamron Adaptall 2 lenses for it along with a micro-Nikkor macro lens. That was ages ago. I could not afford a digital once they became popular, both SLR film cameras & accessories and film became harder to find as did places that developed film also became rarer; although, there apparently has been a resurgence of both to some degree.

Don't recall if the last one was set up by me with someone else snapping it or if I set the camera on its tripod and set the timer.

I also use a Nikon D850 with a 200-500 f5.6 Nikon lens. My backup is a D500. Photography is my main hobby and my photos are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/milazzoyo/
