As a last resort, take it to a good camera store for a cleaning

That's way too much for 2 weeks. But if that's what your group is determined to do, the best way to cover it is to get on Google maps and plot out a course that takes you to the things you are most interested in. Try to stay in interesting places (camp or stay in B&B, inns, small lodges) rather than interstate accessible chain motels so you can at least grab some sunrise shots before everyone gets up and takes off.

The Audubon society has a good book about photographing national parks, by Tim Fitzharris, which has excellent info about the top photographic attractions in each park and how to photograph them. For Banff/Jasper and the Icefields Parkway that connects them, Darwin Wiggett's inexpensive ebooks are invaluable, they show you precisely how to find the most wonderful sites in that part of the Canadian Rockies.

Don't know where you're starting from but theoretically it might be possible to route up from Olympic NP through Rainier NP, then eastward through the Palouse into Idaho around Coer de Alene, northeast over into Montana to take in Glacier NP and sister park Waterton on the Canada side, then up the back road (22) to Banff then on up Icefields Parkway to Jasper.

One area you won't want to miss given the constraints of your trip is Icefields Parkway: you can pull off the road anywhere easily and safely and take amazing photographs 3 feet from your car that looked like you hiked for miles to find them.

I once rented a motor home for 10 days just for Banff, Icefields, Jasper, etc., and thought it was too short. Every 20 degrees, of every 100 feet is another unbelievably fantastic view. I used to live in MT and did a lot of travewl and hiking in the parks of MT, WY, and Alberta; believe us when we tell you your time is much too short for the trip you have planned

I would be interested in a comparison between the D7100 and the D7200 especially regarding low light performance. The buffer size we know will be light years better and by itself is not enough for me to go for the D7200. If the low light performance is of the same magnitude improvement as the buffer size, I am in trouble with my wife since I just got the d7100 3 months ago!!


http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d7100.htm Ken Rockwell's comparison. The low light performance is staggering and it is 9 grams lighter than the D7100/D7000. No, I don't plan an upgrade from my D7100

Got a Canon T3I for Christmas and 3 lens for gifts. Canon 18-55 and 55-250. I also was given a Sigma 18-250 lens. Going to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in May....do I need to carry all 3 or will one lens be enough?
Thanks!


Hopefully the roads will all be plowed; certainly you will have view points. Do check with the park to make sure that your desired points of interest are open; and take your winter coat.

I prefer to carry only the minimum so I would take only the Sigma. I grew up not far from there and envy your trip; share you pictures with us'

I also sign "Ask for ID" and they never look.

But, I DO check my charges regularly online to see if there are any fraudulent ones.

I do check my charges and HAVE FOUND an occasional bogus charge -- even from a store that you would not expect it! I do think it was an employee that just wanted a new cell phone.

I normally have access to an SLR but those impromptu events occur! For those events I am more likely to have my 16mp cell phone camera at the ready.

Granted, a cell phone cannot compete with a DSLR, but it certainly does better than nothing (most of the time.)

Presenting a RAW photo, you must be asking for composure comments; to that I would say, "the only thing missing is the smell."

Good job. Remove some of the blue. A polarizer filter might have helped the exposure; you could have added an old man sitting on the throne with a roll of paper

How 'bout 78 rpm players and records? The ice house (somewhere near the rail tracks), going to the movies Saturday afternoon for 9 cents, Tom Mix, Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioneers?

I recently dropped my Galaxy S4. It fell flat on it's back, cracking the camera and shattering the screen.
I've got my replacement now and am looking for a protective case that doesn't turn the thing into a brick.

Right now I'm using a 9 dollar Walmart case. Rubber inside and plastic outside. It is warped and every few hours I have to bend the case to make it fit properly.

Today I splurged on a lifeproof case. Dropped $70+ on a case that took 20 minutes to install(with a lot of cursing). Once fully installed, the buttons on the phone become non-functional. The wife is driving back to the store to return that POS.

Galaxy S4 users....what cases are you using to protect your phones?

Jerry, you've been very lucky. I've had several failures. The most recent was in a 6 month old HP. A Seagate drive which was under warranty. They would have replaced the drive, but the catch was that I had to send my "old" one to them. Not willing to give up the drive with all my data on it, I bit the bullet and bought a new drive. Screw their warranty.


Agrteed. If/when a drive fails, I move it down a slot in the tower (and down a letter, ie c: - d:). the new drive becomes c: and all my pictures are still available on d:

Doesn't work as well on a laptop.

What happened to 9 ???


MS decided to skip 9. A friend of mine was part of the alpha test and showed it to me briefly. He said it was like Win 8 on steroids plus many of the advantages of both Win 7 and 8.

I joined the Win 7 Beta test with a brand new computer, at the time of Win 7 release. The experience went flawlessly

Yesterday, my son's HP wouldn't start. It went immediately into power saver mode and the power button flashed and blinked about every two seconds. I played around with it for a while and reseated the cables, and eventually it started right. He had the same start-up problem this morning. Looking online, there seems to be a variety of things that could cause this. I replaced the little onboard battery, but it still wouldn't start.

After reseating the cards and cables, it decided to start, but the monitor didn't get the news. It's in power saver mode. Apparently, there's no signal getting to the monitor. Even if the card or cable are bad, that shouldn't keep the computer from starting. I'll go out to the garage later and see if I have another monitor cable. I know I have a monitor out there, but I doubt that's the problem.

If I get a definitive solution, I'll let you know.

I assume there is no burned Bakelite smell (=burned power supply)
