Lol , thanks !

Bill, thanks, lol... I'm not really that much of a great photographer. I mainly use it as an excuse to hit the road and explore the rockies. I'm retired, no kids, not married & need a diversion. Travel & photography just seem to go hand in hand for me. And since I travel alone I'm free to keep any hours I want and travel as far as I want. Houston is my home town, Montrose Colorado & The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is my highpoint & I'm sure I will make Seattle & Ketchican Alaska by ferry by end of next year. D850 in hand. It's just fun & not work. My mom charged me to travel after she passed. & well, it's come to pass...

I was way past due for a new camera. The D850 was a logical choice

Mike, just got a D850 and the thing is a beast! I love it though... my other camera is a D40x. Lol, I don't care about all that technical stuff... just go out & shoot them both & you'll turn up something interesting. Hell I'm not sure what an F stop is for, but sure have lots of fun!

Yes, I used to offer " free" delivery on my structural steel orders, but you know I buried an extra $165.00 in the profit on the order just because you didn't tell me & I went ahead and charged you... 😉 Never believe in "free" delivery. We even had a line we could put on the order that said "free delivery." Don't buy it! Will Call or pick all your products. rpm

Don't do it Jerry. Just don't.

Rick, I wasn't aware there were two places to display photos & in photo gallery it's frowned upon to be negative. I've probably been offending people for years and not known it... lol, so, I learned something. I'm placing mine in photo analysis because I'm always looking to learn. Makes sense to me! Thank you sir.

I'm here in New Mexico with my Nikon D850 but these are with my phone. More later. And it snowed on me in the field last night...burrrr

Mr. Indiana,
I totally agree. I'm going to see if Baytown Photography club is still active & if not surely one can find another photo club here in Houston to attend. Thanks, rpm

Well, I know I did not. I purchased it new from Best Buy. I'm sure I could have looked around for a less than prime body, but money isn't always the issue... Will be sure to look for some used lenses for the D850.
Mr. Canon, I've always wanted to tell you, you look exactly like a Max Reichenthal. He owns Texas Iron & Metal on Lockwood here in Houston. He's retired now, but his daughter runs it. But you look just like Max!

It's working for now! Am I doing something wrong ?

Hey there Retired CPO!
I remember you. I thought you blocked me. (You hurt my feelings commenting on my number of posts.)
Can't help it I'm a "man of few words" and a belligerent one too! lol We just got off on the wrong foot... anyway, yes, I updated to a Nikon D850 and couldn't be happier. I'm now on that learning curve, playing the fool until I become proficient with it. I do need some new lenses and know to get a VR lens. Any suggestions would help...
Thanks for stirring my pot & waking me up! Probably needed & deserved it. You ARE a CPO. And I'm sure you meant well... Thanks again, :-) rpm

Hey Cliff, thanks. All good recommendations... I'm getting a hold of it this morning. Thanks again. Rpm

Thanks Coolhand, made a note of that lens too. It's coming together this morning. Have the thing on a tripod watching u-tube videos. It's gonna be a fine piece of kit once I put it all together ! RPM
