Why do these discussions always end up in so many arguing there is only 'their' way to do something? Providing a google or Youtube reference that supports their argument.
How about just explaining the advantages of their method, and maybe the disadvantages and leaving it at that. No shouting in bold type etc.
Must admit its entertaining and perhaps a view into the various psyche at play but this is meant to be a photography forum.
At the end of the day, each to his or her own and I get the impression each will go on with what they do, regardless of any 'advice' tendered here.
My preference is Manual mode 80% of the time. Then a priority mode for the other 20%, depending on the subject.

Beautiful scene, lovely picture. (said with just a touch of envy )

And it's the same ones every time. I think those comments speak more about the person writing them than they do about the subject.

As for the 'posters' subject. No problem here reading it, albeit with a bit of a squint. Nicely written and an appealing photo.
Hope your series of books are successful and wish I had the patience to adopt your approach to documenting some of my pics at the time I took them.

I'm using a 10 year old 24-120 f4 on my D750. I'm the second owner and it was the only lens used on the D750 for the first 24,000 clicks and the lens has no creep. Can't comment of course if the Z version performs the same.
I also had the 18-200 many years ago but returned it due to the 'creep' under warranty. The replacement they gave me was okay for about a year then it too developed an aversion to gravity.

Interesting that the link actually goes to a site about 5 kms from where we live here in New Zealand. Zooming in I found its the Red Rock Cafe. Havent been there but will check it out. The cafe I mean.
Nice photo by the way.

Not uncommon in business, you just dont hear about it. Most businesses make an allowance for bad debts when setting the price of their product. Maybe the Gas and Electric Company havent been doing that but are now forced to do so by the shareholders.

I'm a relatively new user with a D750 and came across this problem 'quite a bit'. Matrix metering is the most likely remedy. What might also work is increasing the focus point to the largest available, up from the default 12. This is linked thru some tricky software to the area of spot exposure metering, increasing the area of the exposure meter a little.
Look in the instruction handbook for further details or perhaps a quick Google.

That's probably among the most stupid, sillyest advice I've seen on UHH.
How would one swap between the wrist strap and the neck strap?

That is a nice shot Martin. All nicely focused and a really great composition. How did you get the whole group to hold that pattern long enough to get the picture

I've used the Optech/USA system for years. Well not really 'system' but I have the wrist strap and a neck strap. Comfortable enough but Ive always found the big plastic clips hanging off the side of the camera annoying when using a tripod. Also, my arthritic fingers find it difficult to squeeze the clips to disengage the strap when the weather turns cold.
Have just ordered these as a replacement https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1372679-REG/peak_design_sl_bk_3_slide_camera_strap_black.html/reviews
Read the reviews. The little red dot hanging from the camera is far more discrete than those big plastic clips I reckon.

Well done. Subtle and creates a nice picture.

Really, my book advises the ISO standard for photography was established in 1974.
Wasn't that about the same time that a digital camera was first sold?
By the way, its ISO 'was' used, not 'were' used.

Edit
Here ya go from Google:
The ISO standard was created in 1974 by combining previous camera standards ASA and DIN. Here we will discuss how this camera standard is important for photography and how users can adjust the same to get better photos.21 Feb 2022

Why has this become such a contentious subject, with so much silly misinformation coming to the fore from people with limited knowledge but just want to be heard?
Becoming more and more prevalent on UHH.
I'm tired of the notifications and am unwatching this. Have fun.

Oh. When you got so upset as to use capital letters in your statement, I thought you might have known what you were talking about.
Obviously not.
Well to answer your question; why not?
Because the world of photography doesn't revolve around America, like maybe it used to back in the days of film.
Today, ASA, the American Standards Association 'system' still refers to the amount of sensitivity film has to light.
It was when digital started to rear its convenient head, it was realised ASA wasn't going to have the range to cope with sensors that would eventually be a lot more sensitive to light than film.
That's when the International Organisation for Standards got involved and ISO was born.
25 ASA to maybe 800 ASA and today we already have sensors with sensitivity north of 13000 ISO.
To all intents and purposes ISO and ASA are the same, but there is a slight difference. I won't go into that aspect here as I cant actually remember what the diff is and it doesn't really matter.

Hope that answers your question CPO.
Cheers
