Now I can't find the direct link. Try Googling the phrase.

Last thing I worry about - even when things are "normal"! :D

This one ?

 

Camera Shutter Life Database

Surprised to see an order of magnitude difference between my D7100 and D810.

My D300 should be good for another 14 years.

I’m too busy counting the angels dancing on the heads of all the pins in my house. :)

Done that - now listing all the prime numbers between 0 and a million.

Before you get around to propping your eyes up with a matchstick, have a look, and listen, here.

As those of us who are very modestly Francophone say

 

C'est fromage,

 

or something like that:rolleyes:

Like the moron in Dilbert (LINK)

 

Watching the videos at LINK 3Blue1Brown may make you smarter, I found the simulation of epidemics very apt.

Thought it was "Quelle domage", but then again someone could have moved the cheese.

Please do not make jokes about French cheese - I Camembert it !

 

I watched a YouTube video a while back of someone who ran his Canon 7D for a few days until it died. The shutter actuations were real close to the estimated life of that shutter. At the rate I photograph, I'll be good for a long time also!

That reminds me of sometihng I'd like to record sometime. When you are standing at a corner on a racetrack with a couple of dozen other photographers, especially on a race restart with the cars all bunched up there is this amazing sound of all those cameras set to multiple shots. The cameras reach a dull roar of click/click/click...etc. until the cars get close and all you hear is a few thousand unmuffled horse power, and then as the last car leaves the camera shutters continue until that sound fades away. It's quite the epic thing.

I see that watching news conferences. When the speaker makes a face, or a gesture, etc, the sound of motor drivers speed up to a continuous drone.

I always thought the continuous drone was coming from the speaker, especially politicians.

I think we all know who I'm talking about.

I pretend I am a real photographer and make up projects for myself. I just finished a project documenting the primary election here in Milwaukee two days ago and posted on fb. I waited in line for an hour and a half to vote, talked to other voters (safe social distance of course) and took a lot of photos. It rained and hailed for a bit and then sunny weather. It was a controversial election and was politically charged so I wanted to be there and witness it. There were news outlets from all over the world there so it was interesting to say the least. I also was able to take photos inside the polling station which I didn't think I would be allowed to do. Now that project is done I am going to start a new one that my niece in Minneapolis has been doing with her phone the last few weeks. Walk around the neighborhood with a color in mind to photograph and do a different color the next day etc.

tholte, can we see the rest?

Tony, the Frankenstein Roquefort would go well with a Boris Karloaf
