Will give you some hi-lights-
Madera Cyn has lots of hummers + other birds and a bit of other wildlife if you can catch it- Green Valley is close for motels- It really is only a day of viewing or two at the most- May not be worth your time unless you have the time to play!!

I have an old Polaroid I'll sell ya- however you do have to pull the film out- So there is some effort required!

What is an intimate landscape?

An intimate landscape is simply one small part of the scene that is extracted from the overall picture and put in a frame of its own. It’s about the smaller details.

I have 2 Wasabi batteries but have found that the Rav batteries are better as they are larger in lasting power. More amps per battery. Here is the quote from Amazon "Updated RAVPower LP-E6 LP E6N Rechargeable Battery Charger Set,2-Pack 2040mAh Camera Batteries Compatible with Canon EOS 5D Mark II, III, IV, 5DS, 5DS R, 6D, 60D,6D Mark II, 7D, 7D Mark II,70D, 80D" -2 batteries/ plus charger for $33 bucks. In my mind, the Rav has lasted longer in years also- I had a 7D from way back, so I have had batteries for many years. I do night shots plus time-lapse so I have a few batteries- The Rav are better to me!

You have had a few good answers. My case iMac 27"-- I have always used an external HD for my photos -the software for Lt Rm is on my internal iMac HD. Let's get that straight first!! I use a second external HD for my back -Up photos and enter the photos for that HD in one of the first lines when you hit import on the right side. I click on "Do you want to make a copy"- and I go to the back-Up drive for those. I ended up purchasing an 8 T Hard drive for all my photos- about $160 bucks- I got tired. of running out of room on the smaller ones. Final
Answer- Yes U can use an external hard drive for all your photos & another external HD for your back-up photos!!!!!

For sharpness, you cannot beat the 24-105 L lens- however, the 10-18 is known not to be a good lens on the 90D. I also have the Tamron 18-400 as a walk around and have blown up photos to 13 X 19 and they look pretty darn good- Not perfect like the 24-105 but really good! makes a great walk around- try one, you can always send it back if you do not like it- for a few bucks postage you may be surprised!- Amazon I believe pays the postage back.....

I know this is after the fact-.....Sorry... What happened to your backup files on another Hard Drive??? Costco sells a 5 Gig Hard Drive for like 75 bucks... it is worth it!!!

I looked up that Epson paper and compared it to regular Super Glossy- It is half the weight which determines in my mind it is more of a sign paper or for text more than photos.

Bill P. I will agree that there are may poorly done stacking jobs. As is overcooked PS photos. As with any photo, if the operator doesn't know the ropes or takes short cuts the photo will be bad. Digital in itself is not as exact as film, however, it is the "Newer Way" and for the most part that is what we are now using. There are good stacking practices and bad- I agree- IF you take 20 photos instead of 60 photos it will look worse. And again, the eye is in the beholder!! This makes life interesting!!

I'm going to suggest a completely different route- when going to higher f/stops the lenses do start to deteriorate- no question about it!! Almost all of the super clear Macro shots are now being done by stacking multi shots. There is free software and expensive software- There is no question if you want sharpness from total front to total back, stacking with many-many shots is the only way to go- Some photographers will shoot up to 100 shots of one subject-

Why double up your expenses?? You are going to do your photography on the Mac-period-right? Then running ProShow, all you need to do is put your finished photos on an external H Drive or a thumb drive and load them into the laptop for your Proshow program. U could use an external monitor on the laptop if U wish, but you really don't need to. All u are going to do in Proshow is put your photos in order and have them move as u wish for the program plus add voice or music. You don't really need a big screen here- When I purchased an iMac several years ago now, I switched to iMovie and like it much better- a bit more complicated to learn!!

All those answers are good! However- and here we go- IF you shoot in fast succession you want a fast card- @ least a number 10! And #2, if you ever get into videos, you want a larger card- ask all the fellows above how many had a card go bad??? I bet not many- And if you have a large card for future use, no one says you have to fill it- so buy at a good price and don't worry about the size!!

sometimes (if you cannot remove the glass) you can tilt the frame so the glasses point downward just a bit so the reflections are not there- You do have to be careful doing this so the temples do not show that the front of the glasses are tilted- all it takes is a few degrees if it works for your subject.

Also- please remember that when mounted on a tripod you have to shut off the VC- the lens will hunt with VC turned on while on a tripod causing shake!!!

I have a Sandisk that went thru the washing machine.... The card worked fine- I let it dry out in rice for 2 days in AZ(where it is extremely dry anyway). It cleaned up all my dirty photos (sorry I had to say it!!).
