My walk around lens for my crop sensor Canon is the 18-135. Like you, I always felt like it wasn't wide enough for some shots. I picked up the Canon 10-18 EFS lens 2 years ago and found it really helpful for indoor, landscape, and around town pictures. It's usually in the 10-12mm range if that helps you any. I'm sorry I'm not more familiar with the Nikon offerings, and REALLY sorry that I know nothing about river cruising, having never had the pleasure.

Very nice. These pictures make me feel as if I'm there in person.

It looks like a tilt/swivel for a mono/tripod that goes between the tripod and the camera.

Beautiful. I love the orange butterfly.

I use a Canon 7D mk2 and I like what it does for me and how the pictures turn out.

My traveling companion uses a Sony RX100mk2 and the pictures it produces are very impressive. The color rendition and clarity are remarkable. Sorry I can't give a comparo of the different models but I can certainly endorse the Mark2.

[quote=rappar]I use a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010 for work with photos. I realize this is a dated machine but as I do not do a lot of 'heavy lifting' as far as editing is concerned, it has served me well and I will update in 2018.

Hi Ron,

I have a MBPro 13" early 2011, 2.3 ghz i5 with 4GB memory. My computer did this exact thing for the first time 4 days ago. I was not using a mouse at the time, although I frequently use a microsoft wireless mouse. It has since done it 3 additional times. Each time it was without warning. Each time, there was no outside power source connected. The last time was this morning whereupon I proceeded to connect the power cord to the computer and it began the process of booting itself up. I also got an error message but I did not report it nor did I read it.
It has worked fine since. I'm no expert, but I tend to agree with rgrenaderphoto that it must be a power issue.

I would be interested in knowing what you find out about the problem. The only other thing I can think to do is go to the Apple store.

Thanks,

JPat

TheDman, thank you for your graphic post.

I was going to recommend Mpix, but I'm disappointed to see such a disparity in the results in your metal print from Mpix. I have used them in the past; as recently as Christmas for a gift and I was very impressed with the quality then. It looks like I need to shop elsewhere.

Agree with this tip. On the way to Page, you can check out the Vermillion Cliffs.

Annie B, I'm interested. PM me and I'll send you the info.

Thanks for braving the weather. These are beautiful and your pictures make it look like a magical place.

I have a few articles similar to this. They came with rolling suitcases and functioned by clipping the metal part onto a metal loop built onto the suitcase, then hanging a tote bag onto the "J" portion at the other end. This served the purpose of allowing you to displace the weight of a carry-bag from your shoulder to the suitcase.

Spectacular!

I never get tired of looking at these marvels of biological engineering. I get up to New Mexico 4-5 times/year and love watching them feed. Thanks for posting.

These are beautiful. I was at Lake McDonald 2 years ago in June, but it was rainy and cloudy all 4 days we were there. I didn't realize what beauty the night sky held, but thank you for capturing it so well and sharing it with us.
