Hello from Western NY USA!

[FRB]

Hello all.... came upon TPF via searching for some tips on using my new Canon 3Ti (600D). Specifically was looking to see if there was a way to beat the 4GB 12 minute video limit. Awesome that I ran into Magic Lantern! I have it installed and it tested out nicely. Like how it auto starts a new file at the threshold limit of file size.

After that I did a search for fireworks video and picture taking tips and seeing a ton of information, plus noticing what looks like a very good community, I decided to join up with 'ya all.

Just an armature nature photographer here. Took many thousands of pictures with my old Fuji Fine Pix S602z camera (a camera ahead of its time) while hiking the woods around my home. Looking to perfect my fireworks taking ability. Fireworks is a great hobby / passion of mine.

Father of eight, husband of one wife, four grand kids and no gray hair yet, at 53, 'tis me.... {grin}. Having the greatest wife in the world makes that easy to accomplish!

Enough about me for now.... :mrgreen: thanks for allowing me to join up.

I don't actually live in the city. I'm also in the south towns Eden to be exact. I have a good friend who lives in Collins and his father and sister live in Zoar. I have been to Franklin Gulf Park and actually had a rescue call there last year where a woman had fallen off her horse and we ended up flying her out via Mercy Flight. I've also held rappelling drills in Franklin Gulf Park.
