Kenya/Tanzania Trip - vaccination and Visa questions

Will also be heading that way in August. Just went through the vaccine stuff with "Passport Health". Had 4 in all and Yellow Fever WAS recommended.

Still trying to get the Kenya visas straight! How's it going with you?

Heading to the Serengeti on safari.

I've never been there before and am having a problem deciding exactly what equipment to take. If anyone can help, please do. (Weight IS a consideration!)

My current plan is a Nikon D500 (For close-up crop) with a Tamron 150-600mm lens - distance shots of animals. I can carry a 1.4 tele as well, but will I need it?
Also plan to carry a D750 for "walk-around" and, otherwise "normal" shooting. With the 750, I am torn between the Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 or 24-120mm.
In addition to Kenya, we are going to Victoria Falls. I have a Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8 and a 16-80mm. Will I need the wide angle there?

Thanks for any insight.

I need a comfortable camera strap

I had the same problem deciding which strap to buy! I ended up with the BlackRapid Sport and absolutely love it! Went on a 5 day cruise in the South Pacific and carrying my D750 with the 24-70mm Nikon was no problem! I wish they made more stuff. Spend the money. You'll be glad you did!

My Computer Just Turned Itself On - Again

Jerry,

(My 2 cents :) ) If the computer is turning itself on from a full shutdown, I wouldn't think that the problem is software related (viruses, processes, services, et. al.). My attention would go to the power supply, one of the least expensive things to change out. I'm betting that you don't turn off the power switch itself but just let the computer "shut down"?

Just a thought...

D800 kills Speedlights

catfish252 wrote:

Neither flash will power up on or off camera now or only when connected with the SC-29 cable, if it's only when the cable is attached try commander mode with the D800 and see what happens. If the D800 is experiencing weird problems then I would imagine the power supply or main board in the camera may be suspect. Worth a call to Nikon come Monday. (1-800-645-6687) 9AM-8PM EST, Monday through Friday.

If NEITHER flash will power up on or OFF the camera, the problem is with the flash units! I have an 800 I use with Nikon's Speedlight system and have not experienced any problems.

Off the cuff I'd say battery problems or capacitor problems. Hard to believe you'd have capacitor problems in two devices though!

Yes it's me with another computer question.

Quit using Explorer! Use Firefox! Explorer allows third party spyware to enter your computer while browsing the web!

Holy Trinity 70-200 2.8 VR Ii

Gotta get the trinity! The 70-200 completes the focal range the normal photographer uses. Excellent lens! Great for birding in the garden!

Now, I hate to be a spoilsport, and I'm a Conservative, but can anybody explain to me how we can actually start to decrease the debt (not the deficit) without raising taxes?
