If your concern is that you might lose your camera with all your images for the entire trip, buy a stack of SD cards, one for each day of travel. Put in a new card each day and secure the used one.

Gnarly, Dude! Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. It's a beautiful shot.

Great set. The old barns are wonderful subjects but it's really sad when they finally go, and almost worse when they are torn down to make room for "progress."

Maybe the key word here is "practices." Perhaps a photographer is someone who desires to take better pictures and has practiced and learned in order to do so. At the same time, although I love taking pictures and have been trying to improve for many years, have even taken a few pictures that I am proud of, I am still loath to give myself the lofty title of photographer.

Beautiful shot. I just hope you had time for some pizza while you were there.

A very nice series, well done. And I have to say your neighborhood looks a lot nicer than mine (northern Indiana) this time of year.

Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing Ted with us. Like yours, my heart is filled with four legged children who have gone over that bridge. Our tears are a small price to pay for all the love.

Thanks to each of you for responding to my dilemma. Some of your suggestions I had thought of (I did have the lens set to manual) but others I had not. I think it mostly comes down to the old joke about "How do you get to Carnegie Hall." (For any of you young pups out there who don't know the answer, it's "Practice, practice, practice.")

Thanks for all the replies. It seems like the problem is just the operator. I'll keep practicing and if I can't get better I'll try to come back with some better questions.

I am magnifying the image in the monitor, that's what I meant when I said I was using the digital zoom. The magnified image I see in the monitor is fairly sharp, but a picture taken at this focus adjustment is not.

If I use live view and digital zoom on my D3100 to focus, getting the sharpest image I can on the monitor, the pictures are out of focus. I do better using the viewfinder. What am I doing wrong?

Does not using auto-iso, or auto anything else, give you a result that pleases you more? Does not using auto give you more satisfaction because you are more involved in the process? These are both good reasons. Is your only reason because "that's what the purists do?" I use program modes (Action, Landscape, etc.) most of the time because it is quicker and easier and because much of the time the camera is smarter than I am.

Your backyard has some critters that would look out of place in mine. Great shots, especially the quail!

They are constantly moving;
I love their energy, but it makes them a challenge to photograph. Nice capture,

The jays seem more from "West Side Story" than "Swan Lake."
