Great shots, had to be a special experience. There is a lot of history in Rome. Share some more outside and inside shots if you would.

I began to experience delays from the B&H warehouse about a year ago. This shipping expediency issue was exacerbated also about a year ago by changing my deliveries to FedEx from UPS (who was great). Recently an order placed at 11AM on 11/23, Black Friday resulted in my receiving an order confirmation at 11:05 AM but no shipping confirmation that day. I accepted that is was Black Friday.
No shipping confirmation or tracking information came Saturday (I know the Sabbath), nor Sunday (the day I always received an email in the past since the warehouse previously would get orders ready for shipping for Monday), nor Monday. Tuesday no email but I looked into my account order status and saw that my order was split into 3 shipments and one was delivered the previous night. I looked and there sat a curled cardboard box outside my door, unprotected, soaked from almost an inch of rain. It had rained the previous day and into the night so when FedEx left the package it was raining. On 11/27 I complained to B&H customer service about not receiving any shipping/tracking information, my order sitting in the warehouse for days when the whole order could have come expedited delivery, an electronic package delivered in the rain by FedEx, FedEx not picking up or delivering orders timely when shipping says expedited delivery. As of today, 11 days later, B&H customer service has not contacted me about the wet electronic devices.
This is my worst example, and it is the holidays but warehouse delays have been happening during this past year with other orders. FedEx is just out to lunch. There delivery success rate is less than 50%.

I have the Peak Design SL-BK-3 Slide Camera Strap and I'm very happy I chose this strap. It is about $65 but there are sales at this time of year so you could pay in the mid $50 range. It is the larger of Peak Designs' straps and I like it much better than their thinner, less expensive strap. Good strap for a full frame and medium telephoto lens. Add the 100-400 L lens and it does get heavy on your neck after a while but I think only a harness strap would work in this example. Happy shopping.

Thank you for the video. Nice images and arrangement.

Well done. Very nice image.

I have the T5 and have been very pleased with Canon's Rebel line. The T7 is the newest version so depending on your budget you could consider the T7 since it is newer technology. The i versions (T6i or T7i) are also a step up from the T6 or T7. The holiday sales are definitely going to give you good opportunities for lower prices. Watch B&H and Canon for their specials. Canon will probably have camera body and 2 lens kits offered around $449. Also consider refurbished directly from Canon. You receive a 1 year warranty with a Canon refurbished product and the prices are lower than new equipment. B&H will mimic new camera offers and is a good company to buy from. Call their support staff on the T6. QVC also sells the Canon Rebel line with 2 lenses included for usually $449. If you stay focused on the T6 I see you being happy with your purchase; Canon makes good equipment.

All images are very good. In #4 you really captured the colors. Great job.

Log into YouTube and search for Rudy Winston and B&H Photo. Rudy is a technical advisor for Canon and extremely knowledgeable. He has 3 videos on Canon lenses from which you will learn a lot. I find he does not push the L series lenses although they are the top of the line, and doesn't push for the fast lenses often referring to a f/4 lens as amazing, good quality and a good value. From a source like Rudy you will become educated as you will with replies from forums such as UHH. Good luck.

Very good.

I have not done this technique yet but it is on a to do list.
I think the images came out very well. Like #2 best; being full frame adds to overall appeal. Definitely abstract and an example of nature creating its own patterns. Good job.

This is a great capture. Perfecto.

Nice color. Thanks for the images.

Great images. I was in Lenox, Mass. yesterday and I certainly did not see those colors.

Well done. It is a shame the season is ending.

Try newengland.com and go to the foliage section for different options. A Ct. public broadcasting station for the past 3 nights focused on New Hampshire showing the White Mountains. The colors looked great (on TV) but their season has to be finished soon. Maps are showing lower Mass and Ct about to hit peak. My part of Ct has only had 2 frost nights, with 29 degrees the lowest. A cold wave, low 30's and upper 20's at night is forecast for next week. If a trip is easy enough for you then do it. Slowly driving the roads up here is a pleasure and relaxing. The north eastern corner of Ct. is always written up as a place to go, see and drive through (scenic drives). Kent Ct. is also touted plus it is a very nice town to walk through, browse shops and has numerous restaurants. Color is around, good not spectacular but better than last year. Good luck.
