A question about mirrorless.

Is there a time/view lag of a subject while looking through the view finder or screen on a mirrorless camera? How long exactly?

I found it to be extremely minimal, you can't even notice it but there's always somebody who does lol. I think some mirrorless cameras EVFs are like 120hz now. It's so smooth you swear it's optical. It's not like old EVFs where they are laggy. Nothing like that now.

Not that I have ever noticed.

Well today was the day we had to say goodbye to our spruce tree.

For a couple weeks I been slowly trimming the branches off and getting rid of them one by one until I could get any higher.

This really saved me a lot of work doing it this way. Little by little.

I went as high as I could and decided today was the day I dusted off the chainsaw.

Timber! It fell down. I trimmed up the rest, cut the tree up in logs. I had a great little fire with the dried brush that was left and kept some smaller logs and split those for fires later this fall maybe or next year. I put the big logs up by the road for free and 20 minutes later someone stopped and put it all in his truck.

Couple hours worth of work and the tree was all gone. Definitely opened up the backyard. I'm glad I cut it down because it had an BAD split down the middle, full of bugs and rotten. I have a feeling this tree was struck by lightening. Anyways it wouldn't have been much longer ans the tree would have split up top.

Now to figure out what to do with the stump. Considering renting a stump grinders the last one I rented was like $350 and there's a minimal of one day. It's a $25,000 stump grinder that's fully hydraulic. But it makes quick work of it and there will be nothing left. Might wait until we have work done to stabilize the bank next to the brook...the guy can probably rip it out with the excavator in a few minutes haha.

Sooo that was my Sunday funday.

Onto the next adventure....

Exactly how long will vary from camera to camera. If you want to get "a feel" for what you're up against, sit by the side of a road and take maybe 10 pictures of traffic passing and see how you do. Do this at various distances. For example, can you compose a picture of a car passing you, say 3 - 4 meters away driving at 40 kph? How about if it's about 8 M away? Remember, you can always delete them later. On these cameras, experiments like this are "almost free".

Cheers for the info fellas, was worried it would affect my bird photography. So just gotta get a feeling to the tech.

Once it's dug out you gonna replant the spot with another tree?

Ps. Your in America, blow it up...

Dad came to the front door for a beak full of Wombaroo to take up to Mrs Magpie just before. What a good man he is, brilliant.

I could hear her begging up the road, is a beautiful sound...

 

[Digger...]

Yeah, there's a trick to it. I think it's a double coating of egg and breadcrumbs, and then throw them in the freezer before cooking. And the oil needs to be hot enough to cook the coating without leaving it long enough to get the cheese too melted. I imagine the choice of cheese is important. In this area, fried mozzarella sticks were very popular for a while. Oh yeah, and the jalapeño poppers: cheese stuffed into a pepper, breaded and deep fried. Those were both horrifying but also annoyingly good.

This sounds amazing, gonna try this during the week limr. I've got smoked cheese, havarti & edam in the fridge, may aswell do some of each hey. Thanks for this, im excited!

As a kid the special treat at the county fair was Fried Ice Cream. We were fortunate to be close to a large District Fair.

You can probably have someone come out and grind it down for less than $100. I know we have a lot of services around here that do that sort of thing.

Let us know how it goes!

I looked at a few recipes and it seems the key elements are:
1) firm, lower moisture cheese, cut into strips or big cubes
2) double coating (flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, then repeat all three steps)
3) freeze for 30 minutes to an hour
4) make sure oil is hot first (375F - 190C) and don't out too many pieces in at once. Fry for 2-3 minutes.
