B/W is one thing I prefer having a pure optical VF on digital cameras for. It's psychology, I know and even if my RAWs wil still contain the color data, Not seeing the image on an electronic screen (Live view or EVF) makes my head think "real camera,with film", and I adjust appropriately! (Yes, I'm weirdly tactile that way - I'm also more carefull with my writing with a pen than with a computer!) Proof again an image is in the mind before the shutter is tripped.

As a film shooter, and mainly b/w landscapes, you did the hard part.... capturing the shot in hood light. Adjustments are subject to taste, as there is no one set standard. Adjust to what you like and later you can play with it some more.
Great shot.
Great shot.
I couldn't agree more! B/W is a challenge, and getting a shot this good on an early attempt doesn't always happen. If you decide to explore B/W further, It will open up a whole new world to explore! Technique will be mastered as you develop an "eye" for it, You may end up "seeing" entirely different images of the same scenes with you "color eye" vs your "B/W eye". Relax and have fun with it. It can be oddly frustrating fun - Of course so can golf!

CO finally explained what the key is: pixel size. The D500 has larger pixels, which can lead to a number of advantages. Larger pixels is one reason the D3S was the industry standard (and still may be) for many years for high dynamic range and low noise at high ISO. Even though it has "only" 12 mp!

I like it. Glad you did not make the waterfalls have that silky water look.

Absolutely. I left my entire first edition set at Lifetouch when I left. I have the second edition from the early 1980s in my basement library. The printing isn't as good in the second set, but the books are smaller and easier to handle.
Another good series from the same era was the Kodak Encyclopedia of Photography. It was a good reference on all sorts of obscure topics in the industry.

I've seen the Kodak set, Unfortunately I don't have it, But dang! if that doesn't give me a BAS attack (like GAS,but with books!) Now I have a summer project!

I wonder how many photographers got a start with the Time-Life Library of Photography! It has a permanent place in my collection. I've had mine since 1977! Digital has made experiments certainty cheaper, but photography is still photography,- Any new photog should go on eBay or Craigslist and get the set!

Museums may ban flash because it is distracting. Also, I don't particularly attribute a lot of knowledge on this subject to museums - if they don't want flash used on their property, it's likely out of a superabundance of caution.
I did security work in the past, While I didn't do museums my self, co workers I've talked to did. They were told that flash is not allowed (in most places) due to the fact that, Yes, having many flashes going off "willy nilly" destroys the experience for everyone else. (arrangements to accommodate photographing exhibits is a thing too). Some museums OTOH ban photography all together when works are under copyright.

Moving 130,000 units average per year of a single model per year without major changes sounds like a hit in my book!

Agree - this is a one time few seconds thing and I can assure you the continued storage of the photos, unless they are being kept in dark, acid-free, unstacked museum quality drawers at 50 degrees and 30-40% humidity, will do more continued damage than the scan. The real threat of the scan is the handling of them or flattening rolled corners, etc.

The files from your new camera may be larger than those from your older cameras so they would take a bit longer to download. A new card reader compatible with USB 3 might help a bit. SD cards also have different read/write speeds as well. Maybe a bit more expensive higher speed card would also help.

That really wasn’t the question was it? I didn’t see anywhere in the OP where he said “what do you think about signatures on images”. Did he?

Thank you for the suggestion to navigate to the menu wrench icon, user settings and reset. That seems to have fixed the problem.
Smartphones,HAM transceivers, TV Cable boxes, PCs - Even Port Authority transit busses are often "fixed/cured" by a single Reset. It's my go-to when all of my knob fiddling comes to naught!

My Brick and Mortar left.They were useless in terms of product knowledge and answering questions. No local camera stores left. Ritz was the last one to leave.
I never really counted Ritz as local, I did sometimes buy there, but only because it was a camera store chain instead of an general
electronics chain. - I'm not saying that I haven't bought gear at those either!

Believe it or not, I couldn't wait to drive my wife to the local mall (another place whose time has come) to shop. My wife would make her rounds shopping while I stayed at Ritz camera and browsed around and ask questions before they went out of business, now I can't even do that any more.
Did you try Bernie's on the North Side,? Not exactly cheap, but it is local.
