BB4A and rvphotonz, you guys are hilarious. Your exchange made it worth it. (I keep wondering how you survived putting 8-legged creatures on a woman, any woman.)

Great photo. The download put him in my lap!

Take the protector off. Then take another look.

...???... Patricide...???.... (I did it with the sound off, Ich speche kein Deutsch)

I use a combination of Spider Holster and a Balck Rapid Sling Strap.

+++ and JerryC41: Thats what the OP should be looking at. That's the good price. Have my D500 with me now on Vacation (don't really know why I left my D850 at home but ...?). If you want it, and can afford it, buy it.

A Reaction from an old amateur (74): I looked at your photos and quickly lost you. I was totally into myself and asking questions. What influenced their decision to take that path? What was their upbringing like? Did their parents encourage them to become monks, or was it some other religious teacher (like our Sunday school)? I wish I could ask an older and a younger monk the same questions. Focused on their faces. Then POP, I’m back out thinking what a wonderful set and story. The technique, composition. That will keep me shooting … and wishing.

I was surprised, but "much better" is correct.

... and go back in the house, wait 2 or 3 days, come back out to see if he is any better and shoot him again.

I didn't see it at first either, but when I downloaded his correction I see it clearly in the before skin tone. It is an improvement.

I'm certainly no pro. I have non-VR Nikon 24-70 (a gift from my daughter), Also have Nikon 24-120 f4 VR which I used with my D750 before the 24-70 arrived. It makes for an interesting comparison. The 24-70 is clearly superior, BUT, handheld I would suggest you do some reading on Camera Discipline. Even if you think you know, read some more. I'm shooting more with a D850 now. I also have a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 VR which continually shows me that the VR makes it substantially easier, but not impossible. I'm continuing to improve my shot quality as I continue to work on shot discipline. I'm 74. If I can hold it steady I suspect you can OR you can pay the $$ to make it easier. Easier is really the only difference. Luck.

State Farm - rider on my homeowner's insurance. It's been a simple process and easy to add new equipment. Theft, breakage et. al. covered as has been said above.

[quote=jerryc41]You ... left over from the formation of the earth,

That is quite an understatement. More likely left over from the formation of the solar system and possibly stuff captured from intergalactic space (from other stars). A lot a guesses since Voyager 1 won't reach it for 300 years and will take 30,000 years to cross it. On the edge of my f___ seat!

Great shot, what did you shoot that with? What settings?
