Hmmm - nice picture. I like the vignetting. But, according to Wickipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_ranch) the Apacheland Movie Ranch was built in 1959 for the purpose of filming western movies.
I've always been told that you should turn it off on the tripod. Some of the instruction sheets for my lenses say that. But, here's what the Canon 7D Mark II instruction manual says: "When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to ON with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to OFF is recommended." Who you gonna believe?

For about a year, I was using PSP along with Corel's Aftershot Pro. The latter is somewhat comparable to Lightroom for RAW editing and other light edits. PSP, in my view, is somewhere between PSE and Photoshop in its editing capabilities.
But, then I got a new camera. At that time, per what I read on the web, Corel was going through some tough times, and reportedly gutted its Aftershot team. I waited months for Corel to upgrade Aftershot, and finally gave up an went to Lightroom. I think it's superior, and Adobe has done an excellent jog of supporting its software. I recently got another new camera, a Canon 7D Mk II, and Adobe had the upgrade out soon after the camera debuted. So, I'm never going back to Aftershot. Besides, if I were to do so, there'd be a massive project converting my Lightroom catalog.
As far as PSP is concerned, it's pretty good, and I occasionally still use it, though now having access through Adobe's cloud to PS, I really don't need it.
I say, go with Adobe. Start with Lightroom. Depending on your requirements, that may be all you need.
I used a Tenba messenger bag throughout a recent trip to Italy. It was comfortable to use and I encountered no problems, including would-be camera thieves.
I wondered where Discount Seafood was. Since the street sign was visible, I Googled that, and discovered that the Jacksonville, FL building was destroyed on July 24th when a delivery truck plowed into it, injuring five.
What about the Cotton Carrier for carrying two cameras? I've been thinking about them, but I believe they use some sort of plate that attaches to the tripod mount to connect the camera to their system. I typically carry my cameras with a quick release plate already attached for use with my tripod. So, does that interfere with their use?
