Absolutely not. I'd never let anyone, other than a very small and select few people, handle my photographic equipment.
Besides, everyone has a cellphone with which they are more comfortable. Let 'em take their own snapshots with their phones.

My definition of "right" may be different than that of others. In the example I posted, as well as most of my other posts over the last few years have been "right" in the camera. "Right" for my intended processing.

Have you thought about using a monopod on your trip? It's not as good as a tripod (a tripod may take too long to set up if you plan on taking a tour), but would help stabilized the camera.

In all reality, other than shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and WB no other adjustments or settings, or presets are needed. I know they are never used on my camera.

Do you have any good sources to learn manual mode? Here is something I was told and it always mystified me: A person told me to use AV to meter what I want to shoot and then enter those values into the cameras manual mode features. I always wondered why I would do that. If AV says shoot it this way why would I then enter those values into a manual mode?? I have been told what you said, learn manual mode!! What is it going to do for me?
Practice using different settings till you are able to set the camera and get what you want on the first try. Seeing the setting in aperture or shutter mode will help you understand what settings to use for many different scenarios. Using those settings in manual mode will help you learn to use those settings for different scenarios. Once you learn to set up in manual mode for different scenes (lighting, distance, etc.) you will have gained the knowledge to use manual all the time. Compensating by using manual is the end result.
Aperture and shutter mode are good in many situations but in some situations (bright lights, bright backgrounds) they can be off. Being able to use manual all the time means you will have the knowledge to set the camera (compensate) for these situations with slightly different settings than what aperture and shutter mode would call for.
Experience is the best way to learn. Try this - go out using manual only and take 12-24 photos and record your settings on a pad, then go home and look at them on your computer. Figure out how you could have made each shot better (wider or more closed aperture, faster or slower shutter speed, different white balance etc.). This is how some of us learned when using 35mm cameras. Doing it this way tends to make most people retain the info better.
If you post a few images you can't figure out you here, (NO post processing), you will get the experience of others on what settings you could/should have used (wider or more closed aperture, step up or down shutter speed, higher or lower white balance etc).

Hello, A little help please. After my computer did a windows 10 upgrade I can not longer use PSE 14 as I keep getting error msgs such as not enough ram to complete task. Can someone tell me what happen and how to correct the issue
Thanks
Thanks
You didn't mention how much RAM you have. Also, did you reset the virtual memory in Windows (control panel/Advanced System Settings/Performance/Settings/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change), it will tell you what's recommended but I always set it about 35% to 50% of the max (currently running 32GB of RAM). And did you set your scratch disk size in PSE (in preferences/performance)?

Photographer Barbara Vorster dropped DSLR while touring Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana. Cubs complained that Back Button Focus was too hard to manipulate, will wait for another tourist to drop a Nikon before the Pride makes up its mind.
Vorster retrieved the camera, added, 'There are two huge teeth marks on the rubber focus rings of the lens and small teeth marks on the plastic lens hood, both of which I decided not to replace."

If the lions gave it up, they must not have liked it very much...

Having the box, receipt etc adds provenance and helps to assure that you are not buying a stolen item. This adds value.

You could have asked the seller if the lens has VR but knowledgeable sellers would have posted that feature if it were on that lens. Good luck and have fun with it.

Thank you for your in-depth reply - much appreciated. I do need to hone my Photoshop skills. Would it be too much to ask you for a downloadable file?
To download the images, expand via the download link and use copy image, then file new in PS, then save where you want to.

I'm hoping one of you expert post processors can help me remove the pole in this photo - right next to the girl's arm. I have removed the many wires that were attached to it using Photoshop but I'm not skilled enough to get this the pole. Any help would be much appreciated.
And yet another one for you.
