Why can't the printer be instructed to print the photo, cropped or not, full frame on x sized paper? For instance, print full frame on 16x20 inch paper and then just trim the print. That seemed to work back in the film days.

Funny, but I tried to email some photos from my phone to myself, but they never arrived. I've done that before with no problem. No big deal, but I'll try again. Connecting the phone to the computer didn't do anything but charge it.
I ran into that same problem. I finally found that if I went into outgoing mail on my phone and clicked send they went immediately.

Looks like vespula vulgaris, a yellow jacket wasp. They are territorial and can be aggressive and can sting multiple times.

All of my DSLRs from the Nikon Photomic to the D500 have given me excellent results. The mirrorless models may be the latest cream of the crop but any possible advantages aside, the sound of that mirror slap is something that I, and probably others, love to hear. My Lumix and Sony RX100 vii remind me of my Brownie Hawkeye.

My two main cameras are the Nikon D500 and the D7100. If I want to go small and lightweight I use the Sony RX100 vii. The differences in controls and menus between the 7100 and the 500 are miniscule compared to the differences between the Nikons and the Sony if the A 7111's menu is anything like the RX100. Going from Nikon's controls and menus to Sony's is like transitioning from English to hieroglyphics.

I believe I said I didn't screw up any work. I cannot speak for others.
PS. Next time u get your car repaired, have your uncle do it since you don't like professional's.

I once mentioned to a dental colleague that the dentist who hadn't broken a root tip while performing an extraction just hadn't extracted enough teeth. Any professional who hasn't messed up just hasn't been at it long enough, no matter how long their experience has been.

My understanding is that a phone or camera on full auto is designed to produce an accurate representation of a scene. My phone is always on full auto since I haven't had the desire to learn otherwise and it's mainly for grab shots anyway. Never say never but my camera is 99 and 44/100ths of the time not on auto. If the post processing is done by AI then the AI should receive the credit not the photographer.

I would be very leery of any call claiming to be from a government agency. I would ignore anything that did not come as printed material via the USPS.

Beautiful. What were your settings. The water indicates a pretty fast shutter speed and the sunburst a small f stop.

Nikon 18-140 DX 3.5-5.6, $496.95 at B&H. Nikon 18-200 DX 3.5-5.6, $646.95 B&H. You will want the 18mm DX, 35mm equivalent of 27mm for landscapes. Back in the days of film 28mm was considered pretty wide angle.
Both of the lenses are virtually the same size and weight.

A new gun-style camera mount has been announced lately on Indiegogo. The warranty on the mount is probably longer than your life expectancy while using it.
This camera stock could very easily be confused with an AR style pistol especially if the user is wearing a vest with extra magazine pouches. No one could fault a cop for nailing someone with this contraption at their shoulder. Shoulder supports, (stocks), have been around for ages. Here is a photo of my original wildlife setup from the 1980's. A Kilfit stock on a Nikon F3 with a 300mm f4 lens.
