I've gotten to go to Kenya in 2016, and was blessed to see both White and Black rhinos, elephants, and countless others at 3 different parks. Congrats on what I know was a thrilling adventure for you.
I haven't read through every page, but from the first page it really appears that many don't understand how LR works. You can have as elaborate file system as you want, and as many drives as you want, and as long as you've been consistent in your keywords, there is a good chance that you will be able to find you photo in a reasonable amount of time. You MUST remember that anytime you move a photo, you MUST move it within LR, period, or you will have to manually find it. It may be on a different external drive, but when you find the picture, you can locate which drive/folder/etc the picture is on. To be honest, if it's not working for you, it's because you are not following the few simple rules that LR has. I have mine in a year date, but in LR you can also search the date on the file. Collections are great for keeping like photos together. I have over 90,000 pictures in LR at this point in time.
This small change has worked well with eyeglass glare. Tilt the earpieces off the ear about a thumb's width, and although it feels different for the subject, the glare is either gone or drastically reduced.
Had my 850 for almost 2 years. Here are two things to keep in mind. Because of the number of pixels, if you aren't holding the camera steady enough, you can have some movement in the pixels. Until you get the hang of it, if that occurs, it could help to bump the shutter up one stop from your normal low hand held shutter speed. On portraits, there are so many pixels that unless you use some smoothing in post, you can literally see every pore and wrinkle on their faces. There are some other ways to get around it, but something to consider. I love mine, and good shooting for you!
Just went from a tamron 60 to the Nikon 105. so sharp!
John, you could have fooled my Mac, because it backs up every external drive you choose, except the time machine partition.
If it's working for what you want/need now, and the quality is sufficient for your present needs, it's fun to look, but unless you have cash to burn, what advantage would it bring?
Nice shot! I loved my shot at horseshoe bend as well. Do be careful, as there have been multiple people fall off the ledge in the last 2 years alone. Antelope canyons, Bryce, Zion, and North rim are all an easy drive from Page!
And I though a pharmacology lecture was dry...
Sorry, there is no doubt that the mantis was not worth it!
Cropping is your friend. If you pose and crop so her arms aren't fully shown it will have a slimming effect.
MTShooter had mentioned the problem to me a couple of years ago, and that's when I ordered my op tech strap from him. have never been sorry that I made the switch.
Have many pics that I've taken in AK. the 150-600 is great, but I have to have a tripod, or at least a monopod, and it is big and heavy. A couple of my favorite shots were taken at 3am on the inner passage, might be worth setting an alarm. The shorter lenses should serve you well. good shooting.
I have nikons, and on all paying jobs I shoot raw. When I import into LR, I also have it convert from Nikon raw to adobe dmg, and have no issues with compatibility. Might be worth a try.
While I didn't look at every response, I didn't see the most important fact. Depending on your guide, when I was on safari and our guide had sand bags to steady camera/lens on the top of the land cruiser. I shot with a 150-600, and your 200, even with crop sensor isn't enough. If your guide is good, he will turn off the motor every time you go to shoot, as the vibration will cause blur. I would encourage you to shoot at least a shutter speed of 800-1000, so you can stop the action. While it's true the 200-500 is heavier, to shoot with a shorter lens would mean you would not get the shots that you are hoping for. I had 3000 shots, but only a small number where shot any less than 200 mm. Have an incredible trip!
