Sometimes you're glad you weren't there to take the photo.

Usually early-mid October...it just depends on the weather (wind and rain) If you send me a PM prior I'll scout it out for you.

I'd suggest the dune climb area looking back over glen lakes.

Thanks! That's a good view, we were there a few years back, my schedule will depend on some appointments we may have but I'm trying for the first or second week of Oct.

Wow, I like to see the storms too, within reason and safety. We are wanting to come up to the dunes the first of Oct. if schedule allows, what is the best time for foliage up there?

If you're working on a bucket list, and a FF camera has your interest, go for it. Consider the D750.

Tamron 18-270 lens
I had the old original for my Nikon d300 and it had a problem connecting to the camera(no focus at times) After a couple years and 3 trips to tamron they finally replaced the contacts and it has been wonderful ever since, it is one of my sharpest lens but slow to focus in low light.

I'd like to plan a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine...
It's been several years, but we stayed at Barton's Motel at Hull's cove, before you get to Bar Harbor. Only a couple miles to the entrance. At the bottom of the hill was a gas station with great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. It is a mom and pop but very clean with laundry services. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Very reasonable at that time.

Mabry Mill will give you some good options. But the entire route is gorgeous. Just enjoy.


Mabry Mill is indeed a must. Near Meadows of Dan and Fancy Gap Va. Just two miles past the mill is Woodberry Road, (turn right) and just a 1/4 mile up the road is the Woodberry Inn, we stayed there in April and it was wonderful. Very nice Innkeeper and a nice restaurant with reasonable prices. You literally don't have to exit the parkway.

Flash brackets

For event photography they are absolutely necessary because they eliminate red eye and the annoying shadow on the wall behind your subject. I use stroboframe and newton but there are some newer products advertised in the trade journals.


Exactly what I always do, when rotating the camera to a vertical the flash can be rotated to always be above the lens. I'm always sorry if I don't use it.

Getting it right in the camera means different things to different people. Would you consider the contact print of the image in the link getting it right in the camera? Most of the GIRIC crowd would dismiss this image as worthless.

He didn't "fix" the image in post processing - he obviously got it right in the camera in order to extract all the tonal values he needed to create the iconic work of art.

In digital, getting it right means recording all the data necessary to produce the image you envisioned. It does not mean letting the camera produce a pretty jpeg. Often the two are one in the same. But just as often if not more so, an image, recorded as a raw file, will look underexposed, faded, etc. But it will contain all the data needed. Of primary importance would be the highlights, which are not overexposed.

Wanting new Lens. Help
I use the Sigma 17-70 on my 7100 but it will lose the 2.8 when zooming very quickly. It is a good lens, I don't consider it a "low light" lens

Camera Raw Software
I have a hard time using any PS or Lightroom products, the learning curve or something, you can get free trial of ACDSee, I use 7. Easy to use and does great job converting raw.

D7000 vs D7200
I went from 7000 to 7100, a great difference for me. I didn't get the 7200 because the price point on the 7100 refurb was so good. I too want a full frame, hope they upgrade the 750 in a few points,wait and see. The 750 is light. 7100 buffer very weak, but a great improvement otherwise over 7000. I agree 24 mp is a lot for crop sensor, I seem to have some noise issues at higher than 1250 ISO. I was never really happy with my 7000 vs. my 300

Back Button Focus ~ HELP
I use the fn button on the front to lock exposure ( like if I'm shooting a subject in the sun, I hit bbf and focus is locked, point camera away from sun and hit fn button and hold, recompose and shoot) I use the preview button on the front for spot metering and the ae/af button for bbf. Started this a few months ago and it works great, no setting dials. That's me and how I do it.
