Camera Service Co. in Smyrna is near you and reasonable. They do awesome work! I had lens issues and it turned out to be an issues with camera body.... not lens. Very happy with their service.
Very nice! Love the composition.
Have you looked at the Peak Design sling bags?
There is a cool place near Barstow... Rainbow Basin. Would probably be dark enough at night for astro...

Any suggestions for really good training/online school?
I do that. Just got the camera back from a major overhaul and settings were screwed up.
Was having issues with soft photos and it turned out to be the camera, not the lens!
At first ever photo retreat and what a day! Tripod fell apart first thing....was able to fix with camping tools in car and help from other attendees/instructor. Then camera appeared to be stuck in bulb mode. Well Nikon D800 has a wheel on top left with a Q. I usually keep my camer set to C-HS. Evidently it flipped over to Q which appears to be bulb mode. So. Sorted that out. Then after freezing my rear end off to get some amazing shots, I downloaded my files to my laptop.... wait, thats odd..no jpg on second card?? And 200 missing files on card number 1. I really hope that’s all Murphy had in store for me and that the fun is over! Will day I learned a lot anyway! I checked my camera settings against my husband’s, whose D800 worked great all day, and they are the same. May be off to Bedt Buy for nee memory cards today!
Hmmm. May have helped me get some foreground detals in my desert sunset last night.
Well, got my camera back from cleaning reoair and update, and did not check the settings. Spent a whole day getting anaxing photos....jpg only. My bad for not checking. Not a total loss, but certainly not what I wanted. I moticed I have an HDR on or off setting on my camera. Right now it id off. Any advantage to having it on?
My husband was a Minuteman guy. Retired AF officer. Looks like we will need to make plans for more visits to Tucson! I love it here, so shouldn’t be an issue
Thanks for all the helpful info. You guys are the best!
Super! Just the kind of info I was hoping for. Can I take a tripod to the raptor demo.
