Thank you for sharing. I would like to get out to Washington sometime in the near future, and this is an area that seems to be great for wide images. I really like the barns and the image with what looks like plowed fields on the hills.
MissyG: Did you see the responses to the question about what camera and lenses to take to Ireland? I've been to Ireland but not the Holy Land, so I don't know the exact differences, but why wouldn't the same set of lenses for Ireland work for the Holy Land? Since you didn't say what lenses you own for you Z7, but guessing, you have at least something in the 24-70 range, maybe a wider lens and maybe a longer lens. I have a 28-300 that I use on my Sony DSLR that covers most of what I need, and would be all I'd take except a second body with some other lens.
Hope you have a great trip whatever you choose to take in gear.
Do you have a stool or something for the models to sit on? With standard 8 ft ceilings, you might need to get taller people down a bit to get your hair-light high enough. If you have taller ceilings, you have most things covered. Have fun.
I recently saw a show on a cruise ship going through the "Northwest Passage" in Canada. The professional photographer had a Nikon system and what looked like a 600 lens. There were people using phones and probably everything in-between. I would take what you like the most.
Besides YouTube, there many helpful books that act like the missing manuals for most of the Adobe products. I've used a version of PS Elements, probably 19, and Lightroom. Elements is easier with the three-tab options, but when you're ready to move forward, Lightroom gives you more control.
Thank you and I will ask for help.
I have been reading the weekly posts, but final felt I needed to add myself to the site because I have on occasion felt I might have a useful comment. I am an amateur photographer.
