I can think of only one setting that I would put in place, esp., if you're shooting jpg for the early morning/dusk shots... keep your camera set for daylight. Auto temperature setting here will wipe out the hues that you see with your eyes and will attempt to make the temp look 'normal.'
If you're shooting RAW, this will hardly matter.

You didn't mention the other 3 groups. The Adventurous (explorers), the Misfits (wagons West), and the Dregs (think Botany Bay). If and when anything like this happens, it will likely be the same old same old... history repeats.

Yep, me too! But then I have a life beyond this NG and I presume the above poster does as well.

Seems to me that, in the second shot, she may be contemplating the future child that she is carrying. That alone makes it a better shot.

For clarity's sake, including "Nikon"--or any manufacturer, for that matter--in the initial question would be a good thing... if only to set the stage for the discussion. I'm not nitpicking or anything; I spent 20+ years as an editor and a writer, and I understand how easy it is think we're being complete in our writing. Done it myself; it's a small thing of little consequence and shouldn't be blown out of proportion.
It can even be a good thing... it let me want to read on to see if it was Nikon or Minolta (which also had "D" and "G" lenses, but with different meanings). Because of this, I actually learned a bit more about Nikons!
Thanks, guys!

Do any of you remember discussion and controversy when the SLR was introduced and threatened the TLR? When I got into photography, the SLR was the "standard," although the TLR was still popular. I had a nice Yashika Mat 124, which I used interchangeably with my Miranda and Nikon.
I'm wondering if TLR users thought the SLR was going to take over. We now have mirrorless cameras with excellent specs producing excellent photographs.

Interesting discussion. Guess I kind of went in reverse...
My first camera had some automation. An Instamatic X-45. Then I saw reason and purchased a Minolta srT-101 kit. Until that point, I had never been meterless. Somehow, I reached back in time and got this camera (not my photo):

His camera might be a Sony... the lens is a Minolta.

You really told the story in pictures. That's unusual... great job!

Yes, both are from Pontiacs. Not completely sure what year the second one is, but I believe it's late 1940s or early 1950s. The other one is a slightly later one--a rendering of Chief Pontiac, the namesake of the town in Michigan and the car maker.
And thanks for the kind word about my avatar... it can be difficult to get a shot of the Monkee Mobile!
