The Needles District is about an hour and a half drive Southwest of Moab, UT. If driving down from Moab you will pass Looking Glass Rock, Wilson's Arch, and Church Rock. All are close to Highway 191. I cannot stress enough to have a full tank of gas, water, and food/snacks. Just South of the road over to The Needles is Monticello, UT. The Needles is in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful but rugged. There is a visitors center. There used to be a little store just before you get to the visitors center. Not sure if it is still there. Anyway.......this is a spectacular drive that will impress.

Hope this helps.

Sony A6000 firmware update

There is thread on DPReview that will give you insight to the update. I have an A6000 and have not done the update. I am waiting to see if this update really makes a difference.

Canyonlands National Park

This is one of the most unique places I have visited. It is just West/Southwest of Arches National Park. My wife and I stayed in Moab, UT. which is a good starting point for both parks. Canyonlands NP is divided into four districts.

1. Island in the Sky which is located in the Northern part.
2. The Needles which is located in the Southern part.
3. The Maze which is located in the Western part.
4. The Colorado and Green Rivers which run through the Canyonlands.

The difference between Island in the Sky and Needles is striking. Both are of a different in altitude and geology. These pictures of The Needles and some sights along the way.

Thanks for looking.

Drive-Through Food

In my area, most of the fast food chains have hired most all "English is not their primary language" folks. Try ordering a burger with pickles, onions, mustard only. It is a crap shoot as to what you will get whether at the drive through or ordering inside. Don't go to them is good advice.

DSLR vs Mirrorless

This probably going to open a can of worms between the DSLR camp and the mirrorless camp. My position is that both formats are equal in the quality of the photos they can take and the features they provide. I used a DSLR for about 5 years and recently switched to mirrorless (Sony A6000). I am very satisfied. The ease of use is the same. There was nothing wrong with the DSLR. I wanted to try the mirrorless format. My advice is to do hands-on research and see what features you like the best. You are the final decider. Hope this helps.

World's Smallest Ultra Compact Mega Zoom Camera

Thanks Vaughn, looking for a small camera primarily for b/u and maybe wife's use

I have the HX80. It is a nice little, and I mean little, camera that has a bucket load of features. I especially like the Macro feature. The lens is world class Zeiss. The attached picture was taken with the lens a little less than 2 inches from the brush. For a pocket sized carry around camera it is, to me, a lot of bang for the buck.
