I had cataract surgery and opted for the infinity lens. My D7000 has diopter adjustment on the eyepiece and it is no trouble focusing. Of course, I wear bifocals since the far focus did not last long. Eyes change. Good luck!

I have used Photoshop Elements 3, 5, 7, 14 and really feel good about them. And, I highly recommend the book, "the photoshop elements 14 book" by Scott Kelby. It makes all the difference in the world.

I bought a refurb Nikon D7000 several years ago and am still winning ribbons at the county fair with it. I couldn't be more satisfied. The advice about sharing Canon lenses with your girl friend is good unless you are worried about breaking up! They make excellent cameras, too. I don't think there is any rush into full frame unless you are wanting to make poster size prints.

You have gotten the right information about timing. From just after school starts to mid October, week days and good luck. Traffic in Yosemite Valley will still be bumper to bumper. The falls won't be much. You have to go in the Spring for them. People often overlook the high country in Yosemite in their hurry to get to the Valley. Tioga Pass, Tuolumne Meadows and Lake Tanaya are great subjects. Bodie is a great B&W subject so keep that in mind.

My wife and I used to camp in the Meadows every summer in the 1950's. Up the Tioga Mine Road, which was one lane and dirt most of the way. What memories! Have a great trip.

I will try once more. I thot I clicked on every spot I was supposed to.

My every day lens, the one I use most is the Nikkor 18-105 mm 3.5-5.6. It is extremely sharp and has a focal range that suits my uses. I take mostly landscapes and shoot mostly at 18 mm.

Here is the picture, I hope!

Thanks. I thought I read the instructions but I missed something.

Thanx.

I have been benefiting from reading your posts for some time. Usually, by the time I think of a helpful comment, forty good and some not so good comments have already been made. For instance, I think I recently read a request from someone asking for help making a poster by gluing four quarters of a photo on a backing. I was challenged by this question about making a mosaic from an image. It seems like it is a fairly straight forward task for any processor. I use PS Elements 14. This image was taken with my 16 MP, Nikon D7000. It is 4928 pixels wide and 3264 pixels high. So I set the crop size for 2462x1632. I placed the courser at a corner and dragged it out until the little numbers following it said "2462 W x 1632 H". I then saved this image with a "1stQtr" tag to the filename. I repeated this three times with the other corners. Printing them on 8.5x11 sheets left some white strips across the tops and bottoms that had to be trimmed off. I laid them semi-carefully on the dining room table, climbed up on a chair and took a picture, I know, at 87, I shouldn't be climbing on chairs. Anyway, I think it looks pretty good. More careful placement and gluing to a back board will make it look very good. Or, you could separate them by a millimeter or two to admit it is a mosaic. I didn't time the effort but it was less than an hour.
