Can a noon sun damage the sensor? After seeing the many eclipse posts i am now kinda worried. I love taking pictures with the sun visible. Wether it be a sunset, a tree where the sun shines through, reflections or just landscape. I dont point my camera directly at the sun though. At most the sensor is exposed for 1min. Do i need to worry? Any tips or thoughts regarding this? My…

Direct Sun Damage to Sensor? I understand the concept of how photographing the sun without a filter during today’s eclipse can damage an imagining sensor in a digital camera. But why is it then ok to photograph direct sun other times, like a cool effect of the sun glimmering through trees in a portrait. Or a sunset? If a point my mirrorless camera directly toward the sun, e…

Scanner recommendations for old family photos — worried about damage from auto-feed scanner I’m looking for a scanner to help me organize and digitize hundreds, maybe thousands, of old family photos from the 1940s (parents’ baby photos) through today , both black and white and color.

My friend needs to get out of a car loan with the least possible damage My friend bought a car and financed $14,000. Now she finds that she can’t afford the payments. The dealer offered to buy it back for $6,000 but wouldn’t she still owe the remaining $8,000? Can she just walk away from the car and let it be repossessed? What are the consequences of that? Personally, I have always been very cautious about debt so I…

Is sensor damage possible with sunrise/sunset pic with telephoto lens. So, I took some sunrise photos at 400mm with the new mirrorless camera and afterwards I started to worry if “waiting for a good shot” can eventually cause sensor damage. In particular, I was watching the LCD waiting for birds to fly through the frame to take a pic so the sensor was exposed the whole time for minutes at a time. There doesn’t appe…

Upside down car loan after catastrophic water damage Long story short: the roof on my car leaked a ton of water after a week of heavy storms. I still owe $9k. I was hit with a tree branch while driving in June. I did file a claim then, but it was glass only as my windhsield needed repair. Safelite was weary about fixing it because there was some body damage on the roof, but it didn’t seem that bad…

LPT: If your dog eats something which could cause damage, feed them spinach. A few years ago our Labrador chewed and ate a metal tube which contained fish paste. After examining her the emergency vet suggested we continued to monitor her and feed her spinach for 24hrs afterwards. A few days later she passed some nasty pieces of metal which were safely wrapped in spinach. The spinach is fibrous and doesn’t get broken down…

Although I have made good progress and am slowly starting to make a dent, I get discouraged seeing how much debt I put myself in.

Why don’t lens mounts come with ratings for the force and/or torque that they can take without damage? I’ve looked for this before, and as far as I can tell there is no published specification from the manufacturers for the strength of lens mounts – photographers are just expected to use judgement and experience to know how to handle them. For a long time I was being very careful to avoid ever holding a 100-400mm lens up horizontally by the came…
