I would use Velvia 50 slide film for the vibrant colors.

With the 18-140, you don't need the 18-55. With the 70-300 you don't need the 55-200.

How is this any different than using a digital camera to make multiple images and then combining them to make a high megapixel composite image?

I'd say practice shooting video before you take the trip. You can shoot anything, your house and yard, your neighborhood, a park, indoors, etc., in different lighting conditions. Get comfortable with the controls and settings and the output. Shoot 15 or 20 second sequences. Pan slowly. Give the viewer enough time to absorb the scenes. You can narrate the scenes as you shoot them. Here's an example of my first video, shot on a train trip to Reno in 2000.I recently purchased a Nikon Z6-II. I will be taking a trip to the western national parks in May and want to take some video during my trip. I am a video beginner. Looking for tutorials and resources that can help me navigate this new endeavor. I will be looking through the posting in this section but looking for any and all suggestions.

E.L., I'm not looking for anyone's snark, but appreciate your postings and would like to hear your thoughts on Joel Meyerowitz. Thanks.
Why Snark? Myerowitz is a great photographer. His photos are great.

I enjoyed your youtube interview and seeing your paintings in the video and on your web page. When you said you never can tell what will happen when you put the paint on that really brought back memories. And when you said the light comes from within the painting that struck a chord as well. Decades ago I tried my hand with oil painting. Putting the paint on and trying to get a 3D image in two dimensions was the most challenging part. Here's one I did in a painting class I took. The water was one of those happy accidents you spoke of.When I was an art student at Pratt in the mid-seve... (show quote)
To me video is more of a challenge than still pictures. Like painting with oils the finished product is in a state of movement and change until it's done.

You can experiment. I recall that vignetting can depend on the f-stop you use as well. And you can always crop the image to get rid of any vignetting if you frame it with that in mind.

Depending on the type of advanced zoom camera you have, you can use manual settings for shutter speed, aperture and iso on it. The basics are that you can use all three to control the exposure. Lower shutter speed, lower f-stop number, and higher iso all bring more light to the image. The opposite gives less light. Lower f-stop numbers give less depth of field. Higher shutter speed freezes the action. Higher iso can create noise in lower light. It's a balancing act and you can practice until you get a feel for it. Before you buy a new camera and lenses you should have an idea of what types of pictures you wat to take, eg. action, landscapes, portraits, indoor, low light, groups, etc. Certain cameras and lenses can be better for each of these.

I use raw + fine jpg so I can view the shots. If I have one I like I open the raw file to tweak it, and save it as a new jpg.

In Photoshop click on the filter tab, then the Camera Raw Filter. This gives you all the sliders that Camera Raw gives you with a raw file. You can adjust the white balance with the first slider, temperature.

Excellent suggestion. Windows Photos has all the sliders I use on Photoshop and it's free. A great place to start.

I’m a newbie and am asking for guidance regarding photo editing software. I haven’t been able to understand PS & LR and am looking for “photo editing software for dummies.” Any recommendations about how to get my feet wet and learn slow and easy?
Photoshop can do what you want without using the more complicated features. Most of what you need is cropping and is on the image > adjustments tab, brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, light temperature, shadows, highlights, vibrance, etc. You can experiment and learn all of them in about an hour. They are just sliders so you can apply more or less of the affect and see how it looks. Just save with a different name so you can go back the original if you need to.
I have been using those sliders for 99% of my post processing for years. And for the more advance features like straightening, spot removal, filters, just search for how to use those specific Photoshop affects on Youtube or Google and there's all the free instructions you could ask for.
