I recommend a newer camera if yours doesn't have focus peaking. All modern Sony cameras (i.e., those with electronic viewfinders) have focus peaking in the viewfinder. On my A65 SLT camera, it's been a godsend because my eyes are no longer that great.
If you simply must have a DSLR (these have an optical viewfinder), then in today's camera choices, you'll need to use the rear display screen for focus peaking. I haven't found a list of cameras with this feature, but just look at the specs for the ones that interest you to see if they included it in the cameras' design.

If you're into geologic formations, Papago Park (quite near the Desert Botanical Garden) has some unusual sandstone features. I borrowed this photo (can't find any good ones I took... I suspect they're all gone for good) from tripadvisor.

I added him to some of the pictures I took on the way to Ohio. We were on a vacation to Adena Ohio (where the bridge is) from Florida and we tricked my girlfriend's niece into thinking we brought the dog. She was asking where he was when we got to her house. Just something silly to do ... That's HER (the niece's) dog on the left
Gotta love that ugly dog!

I owned a Mamiyaflex C3 with a 65mm and a 135mm lens for a time. Loved it, but I couldn't get past the reversed image in the waist-level finder. If I had started shooting with that camera, I just might have kept on, but my first serious camera was a 35mm...

Welcome to the forum. Used to do a little climbing in my misspent youth while growing up in Montana. I look forward to seeing some of your photographs.

Welcome, Paula. You'll find a lot of good discussion and some very knowledgeable folk on this site.

1/250 s is SLOW? In the film days most cameras were 1/60 s or even slower! We are so spoiled today. My Pentax K-3 and K-5 have flash sync speeds of 1/180 s. Though the shutter for "regular" exposures goes as high as 1/8000 s! Yikes, I well remember when 1/1000 s seems fantastically fast. Note: Actually, I'm not even sure you can expose film at 1/8000 s, the Reciprocity Failure would be extreme! 
I know what you mean. My second camera had an incredibly fast shutter that went to 1/2000 (Minolta XK), and I looked down on those Nikon and Canon users... for a while.
BTW, you can expose film up to 1/12,000 sec if you have a Minolta 9 or 9xi, but I just don't know what would happen with HSS (high-speed sync). Just saying.

How do you flip up the mirror?
Thank you,

Your Canon EOS Rebel T6i/750D offers mirror lockup. One component in the optical system of a dSLR camera is a mirror that moves when you press the shutter button.

A few windows from Missouri. The first one is the Capitol, we had a total eclipse today and I think I can see one window. The second one is the local courthouse ans then an old house that a freind of mine's grandmother lived in when he was growing up.
Sweet shot! Did a similar shoot in Helena, Montana when they had a total eclipse back in the 1980s.

Had a cat that looked a bit like the second shot... looked angry, but in reality, he was just talking to me.

Maybe to go vertical a little easier. Otherwise, it's like having a knee added to your neck.

Read it. Seems like a possibility at the moment. It's a wait-and-see thing for now.
As an aside, there have been a few new digital point-and-shoot camera out, bearing the Minolta name...
