Never been to Galapagos, used to live in Key West. Best tip is to bring your walking shoes. You get sunrises and sunsets over water all within walking distance. Walk the streets that parallel Duval, as well as cross streets. There are cool photo opportunities virtually everywhere. Try to get to the lighthouse and the beaches as well as It. Zackory Taylor. The Bight (harbor) in the early morning is beautiful and as mentioned, Mallory Sq. Also, the drive from Miami has thousands of spots just off US One. Key Deer on Big Pine as well. In KW, you can take the trolly and see virtually everything as well as the new Duval Loop bus. Have fun and let me know if you need more specifics.
Google photos free and simple to use.
Clyde is still alive and well after a health square. Check them out on Facebook
Ah, my home away from home! Given your short stay I would suggest a stroll on the streets paralleling Duval. Look closely at the cottages and gardens. There's a lot of funkiness that gets missed. By all means, do the Old Town Trolly as soon as possible. You will get to see more and choose photo spots. Try a sunset at the Southernmost Point and Mallory Square and climb the lighthouse. Don't for get to check out CJ Groth's work at the Artisans Guild on Duval.
There are many beautiful arboretum's and nature walks in the area. Additionally, check the schedule for a space x launch.
It's called Creative Cloud on my computer. Whatever the issue was, it is resolved. Thank everyone for their help.
System was recently upgade with more RAM and Xenon processor. I'm pretty sure it was my internet connection as all is well now.
Thanks Bill,
Up and running. I think it was a wifi issue.
Hello
My cloud copy of Photoshop is acting strangly. I am able to open the program and open an image but when I open the drop down under edit and go to mode, for example, nothing is happening. Everything is greyed out and nothing will open. Only the layers drop down will open. Additionally, Photoshop won't close. I have to reboot the computer to close it. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Larz
That building is called Motif #1.
I tend to agree with JoeBlow. Everything (except question 4) is about limitations. Overcome your limitations in all areas and you will become a better photographer. "Great" is subjective. I'm a legend in my own mind, but I'm often out of my mind.
I think of not shooting in manual is like using a pair of vice grips to change a transmission in your car when you have a complete set of tools in your toolbox. You might get an acceptable result with the vice grips but using all of your tools will be easier, faster and allow you to overcome difficult situations. I suggest reading the manual, viewing some tutorials, but most of all, put your camera on a tripod and go through all of the manual settings with the same subject in consistent light, and review and understand the results. Then try different lighting situations. You'll get there and love it!
To add to the statement that the manual usually doesn't explain "why", I recently discovered the Scot Kelby videos sponsored by B&H photo. These videos really helped me expand my knowledge of my 7D.
