Sounds like we could have a "Chicken Tale" section : ). My son and I bought some fertile eggs, put them in a box in the living room with some incandescent lights which we rigged to a thermometer switch. Turned the eggs every 6 hours. 2 out of the 4 hatched, one hen, one rooster. We built a small coop and fenced in part of the back yard. Nemo the rooster was very aggressive, attacked anyone who came into his turf, even 2 English sparrows. When he got out, he was hard to catch and return. Tina laid tasty eggs for breakfast. Good memories for my son in middle school.
If you wanted to order a complete set for a delivery truck to navigate through London and suburbs, there'd be no room for the merchandise, just a whole library of cassette tapes guiding from every possible point to every other possible point.
Hope they don't merge with the ice cream shop, (wouldn't want wood fired ice cream: ) Great shot!
Agree with those who got the 8x10 from Thousand Oaks. I made custom fit filters for lenses, then actually cut custom fit pieces for my sunglasses. So much better than wearing those flimsy cardboard things.
18-400, 30 or wider, no monopod

Advance Camera in Portland, OR, has good recommendations. 503-292-6996. I was in touch with them for work on my Kodak Retina. Their CLA price was around $200. (If the meter doesn't work, but the rest of the camera does, it is still a fine camera and can be used to take great photos. I wouldn't spend much on metering problems these days.)
If you consider they are similar, then the D500 would be a sideways move. I shoot many of the same things you do with my D750, and would never consider getting a D500. As already mentioned, the D500 could have a longer reach with the same FX lenses you use, as it is DX, but has the same mp as the D750. If longer reach is what you want, just get a longer FX lens for your D750.
Love this photo, makes me wonder when it was built and the family context, why it was abandoned. (Parents aged and kids didn't want to farm? Farm failed due to expenses vs production?) It certainly was well built and designed. It no doubt could be restored if someone had the ambition. How far to the nearest town? Thanks for sharing!
Never messed with DNG, but recently a few RAW files ended up as DNG, maybe after some processing. I was shocked that they were around 5kb! Totally worthless!
We got so good with our bb guns (Daisy M25, Crosman 760, Crosman 140 pellet) that we could sit on the back porch and pick off flies that landed on the rocks, or "ring" the swing-set pole every time from 30 paces. Would set up army men battles and pick them off from the hill across the driveway, bb's kicking up dust like real explosions. Had 50 acres out back to play in, climbing trees, swinging on vines like Tarzan, hunting, camping; good times for sure.
90% of our driving is under 30 miles round trip. If a plug-in hybrid could go 50 miles on only electric, we'd seldom need the gas, yet still have the gas engine for the other 10% of our driving. If we had an electric-only EV, we'd also keep around an efficient gas car for those longer trips.
Big step going from DSLR DX to mirrorless "full frame". Just going from my D5100 to the D750 was a huge and welcome move up in dynamic range and blow-up-ability. My 2 cents is, if you are going to seriously go into mirrorless, a) wait for the Z6III, b) get the Z 24-120 lens. That combo will absolutely make the jump to FX mirrorless the radical improvement you are looking for. You might even have to wait/save a year for the additional cost, but that D7200 will serve you well until then, and the wait will be worth it.
I had always turned the wheel hand-over-hand. When I saw a younger driver just sliding his hands along the 8-4 positions in a turn, I asked him why. He said that is the style now because if you do wide swings over the top and crash, the airbags will blow your arms into your body.
I bought few incandescents before they went off the shelves. Wanted them for old-time sake; the glow and warmth they gave. That said, both incandescent and florescent are extremely dangerous, being explosive with sharp glass shards everywhere when dropped. I've been replacing my florescent bulbs in my cellar with the new LED shop lights.
