Truth be known, many times I want something more than I need it!

I purchased the Tamron 150-600 for my Nikon D7100 just last week based on the advice of my local camera shop. I'm going to Alaska in July and was asking about an additional lens that I might need and this was the recommendation. I haven't had a chance to use it yet so no idea how it works. Fingers crossed!

Great photos! I love GMNP. This is a photo I took several years ago of the old ranch house in McKittrick Canyon .

It's a really good series. Wife and I both enjoy it. Goes great with a glass of red wine!

I'm going to be there in late July and go from there to Seattle and cruise the inside passage. Watched a YouTube show last night about the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Stunningly beautiful! Enjoy your trip!

I wish my knees felt like "youngsters"! My 93 year old Dad still calls me a "youngster". No harm. No foul.

Thanks!

I'm new to photography. 62 years old. I love outdoor activities and what got me into photography was the disappointing photos I was taking with a point and shoot camera while on backpacking trips in sevral beautiful national parks. I could never capture what I was seeing. A friend was upgrading to a new camera and sold me a "lightly" used Nikon D7100 body. I've since added 5 lenses. I've taken several one-on-one lessons at Precision Camera in Austin. Learning the ropes with the camera and Lightroom. I really like landscapes, wildlife, birds, stars and of course photos of my grandson. I have much to learn and any and all advice is appreciated.
