My area has banned billboards on the highway and otherwise. They also have strict rules about signage in general. It's really wonderful and when I go somewhere else and am bombarded by those ads I am reminded again how assaulting they

Your point about the external battery pack is a good one. Even if you have cell coverage, your phone will do you no good if it's out of battery. "Phone about to die" is a common refrain we hear. You're likely at the edge

The process is just prone to doing that. It's a combination of things - uneven application of the likely hand applied chemical coating, handling the plates by the edges while loading and processing, unevenness of the metal frame surrou

I actually just bought a D7100 on Craigslist for a few hundred dollars as an upgrade from my D7000. I've taken several thousand shots on it since and really like it. It's great for what it is - higher end APS-C camera. Aside from
