HA HA HA HA HA

Everyone knows we are going to destroy the planet and all of it's natural resources WAY before we crash land into another planet.... (tongue in cheek humor there, for those who missed it!)

Hmmm...decisions decisions... Which lens should I use? Perhaps the 80-200 f2.8 for the farther out shots, switching to the 18-50 f2.8 as it gets closer? Oh hell, I'm just gonna go for it--I'll call B&H right now and get one of them big $25,000 Sigma's and a nice expensive wide angle, maybe even a fisheye too. On credit, of course...

That's where my mind went, too. But if it gets really close, might as well pull out my "nifty 50" prime lens and hope for the best.

Who would be around to edit the photos afterward, though?

Just use the shoot and burn method. Hopefully when the aliens come to scour the remains they will find the discs and be able to use RAW format.

That would be a true "shoot and burn" wouldn't it?

Just send up a few oil drillers drop a nuke, wait for about 2 seconds before it passes the point of no return border, pop the nuke and poof, we're safe....It's just that simple, Right?
