Subscribed! Timely too...I volunteered to photograph a fund-raiser for a local rescue/advocacy organization.

I'll have to give Luminar another try. I found it to be very unstable and lacking a lot of features (compared to the Mac version) when I tried it late last year, and again in the spring.

While I lived out at the end of a dock, we had trouble talking to the marina WiFi provided by the office. We used a system from a company named Island Time. It was based on the Microtik Groove: https://mikrotik.com/product/RBGroove52HPnr2 We chose their system over putting the system together ourselves for the excellent support the company offered and the mounting options provided. All of the components are available "off the shelf" and are not terribly expensive. Beyond the marina, it worked great for picking up shoreside wifi (Comcast lets you connect to other customers' routers if your a subscriber yourself) while out on the hook.

I don't see the recommended system keeping up with what you have. 8GB of RAM is not enough. Processor wise, the current generation i-5 will be a lot faster, but photo editing is RAM intensive. 8GB could offset processor gains. Here's a good comparison of 8th gen processors (9th gen is available now as well) with Photoshop benchmarking tools: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Photoshop-CC-2018-CPU-Performance-AMD-Ryzen-2-vs-Intel-8th-Gen-1136/

My system is similar. I would go for the 512GB SSD if at all possible. My 256GB is filling up with applications and updates. I have moved all of my libraries to the 1TB drive, only using the SSD for applications that I want to be responsive, the operating system, and swap space.

I took a quick look at these, and liked them. What about them makes them specifically designed for a monopod as some are marketed? I have both a monopod and a couple of tripods that I would like to have one solution for as I rarely have them out together.

Here's another vote for the EFS 10-22. I have this lens and love it.
And another up-vote for this one. I haven't tried landscapes with it, but it did well for me photographing inside real estate shots.

I have been using SyncBackSE from 2BrightSparks for my nightly backups for over 10 years with no problems. Very powerful program that allows for backups, mirroring, synchronizing and restoring... The comparison page shows the different options available.
Also check out the SyncBack Touch package for phones/tablets...
Hope this helps...

SycBack is a great tool. Once you have it working the way you want you can setup a scheduled task to have Windows execute the transfer on your desired schedule.

I'm sorry for your misfortune. I use a similar strap and just took a look at it. There is a short strap that runs from the normal side strap mount on my Canon with a carabiner on the end that came with the Altura screw-in strap. I attach that when I'm using the screw-in strap as a backup as I have noticed that it will back out. I know it doesn't help you, but maybe the next guy/gal.....

Nice shots Jerry, considering the light. The pictures convinced me to get out and see what my camera will do at 10,000 ISO. Thanks
I had the same thought. My own "challenge" of sorts.

Beautiful! I like the sunset view from Gilbert's as well. Before Irma took her, we would take our boat down from Miami for mini-vacations.
