What I learned shooting wildlife at ten frames per second

I just don't understand "Spray and Pray". I'm more of a "Deerhunter" type of photographer. One shot.

Having more than one camera for more than one purpose!

Well, I guess i’m The only one who has a film camera in my bag at all times. My D750 is my main body and my F100 loaded with Tri-X or Tmax is in there too. Just can’t let go of film.

Format - Horizontal or Vertical? Why not Square?

(Landscape Photography)

Maybe i'm missing something here. How do you set the camera to capture square?

I have an Epson V800 that I use for 4x5. It does an excellent job.

If you really want to know all about a Nikon Camera - look for Thom Hogan's books. He does one for the D7200 - almost 600 pages.

I forgot to mention Thom Hogan

Above all else, consult NEC and local code, pull permits. Down the road, should you decide to sell and move, lack of proper permitting can return to bite you in the butt!

Anything by Dave Busch, Darell Young, or Moose Peterson is worth a read.

Not sure where I read it, maybe here, but, "In the hands of the right person, even a Kodak Brownie is a professional camera. Only a tool.

End of an Era

I shoot digital, it's faster and more convent, but I still shoot film. When I have the time. I like slowing down and taking the time to get film right and I love the way film records light. So if I need to do a shoot for a friend, or an event the obvious choice is digital. For my passion, the art of photography, film.

I couldn't have said it better. My sentiments exactly. The time it takes to set up (using large format) and compose makes me stop and look around and possibly see something I might have missed.

I could care less what they do with cell phone cameras. They have their place. I'd prefer to carry a camera with me and use it for photography.

Are Asus laptops upgradable?

Iupgradedmy Asus about 6 months ago from 128gSSD to a 500gSSD. No problem at sll. Created a windows system disk with all the C drive data, then restored to the new drive. After that had to repartition to take advantage of the new space. All in all about 30 minutes including backup time.
