exracer327 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I bought one of these for staging sets https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Shooting-Diffusion-Backdrops-Photography/dp/B00GKFUFFE/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=light+cube+diffusion+softbox+kit&qid=1613937813&s=electronics&sr=1-5 Cuts out a lot of background clutter. And it can fold up like a windshield sun screen if you are lacking storage space like I am. I also got an inexpensive LED light ring during black Friday for an external light source. That with the flash on my digital SLR I haven't had bad photos since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me one that folds like a map* anytime. *For the younger members: back in the day, maps were actually printed on large pieces of paper instead of on iPhones/GPS systems 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Last March, when stores were running low, I had to pick up "stuff" that I don't normally buy. Nothing unusual, but what I mean is, if I usually bought Brand A of Beans, and it was picked clean, I'd buy Brand B. So we were running low of instant oatmeal. I'm not a big fan of it, but I have one or two flavors that I'll eat. Of course, all of my flavors were gone. So I grabbed a box of Quaker Peanut Butter & Banana instant oatmeal. It's been sitting in our pantry for almost a year, because I just really didn't want to touch the stuff. But push came to shove a couple weeks back, and I ended up trying it. And damnit, I love it. Well, of course, now I'm looking for it (because I'm out), and I can't find it anywhere. Near as I can tell from the Quaker site, they're not even making it anymore. I should go check Dollar Tree or Big Lots at this point, I guess. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this article; seems like a positive direction. I am all for news outlets being properly compensated for their content...otherwise we see them trying to appeal to the lowest denominator...ie entertainment...20 years ago who knew (other than MIB) that the trashy eye catching crap such as Star and Enquirer would eventually become "regular news" for this country.
