So many people forget to install a ssd (solid state hard drive)
if you don't have one your missing out on the easiest and best way to up performance.
You can also take the ssd from computer to computer.

I called on a similar too good to be true ad and the seller only texted. They wanted payment via
Western union or something like that. No paypal.

They then promised to ship after payment was recieved.

I did not bite.

I would have had no way to get my money back if the seller did not ship the item.

But It was worth the 10 minutes it took to figure out the sellers hustle.

Looks just like a brochure
Nice captures.

My wife and I are saving for an Alaskan cruise for 2019 or 2020.

Just wondering if you had any wisdom to pass
Photography is our hobby of course.

Is a balcony room worth it? I was thinking time lapse.

Are there any places or times the year on the cruise that I should know about.

I have a long time to plan.

Thanks and I really like your photos.

Good stuff. Can you tell us about the process?

Clear and vivid yet soft and dreamy.
Probably looks amazing on metal.

Please share your post production process to get such wonderful colors.

I was in new Orleans last week they said it was the hottest day of the year. In the cemetary people were having a rough time.
No problems with the camera but you have to wonder when when you touch your camera and it's hot.

Photography by day for most everything.
The downtown area including the ball park is fine. Don't worry but don't be an idiot.
They did not allow backpacks into the ballpark so travel light if you go

The church of St Louis nw of city center was my personal favorite.
It is off the beaten path. I think a little closer to where they buried the waste from the Manhattan project.
Mosaics like nowhere else in the world.

Have fun and definitely have a beer at the bud Weiser factory.

I buy cheap ink $25 for a full set of ink. Looks the same out of the printer but fades so quick unless you laminate or protect it.

I print a lot of cards which people throw away after they take the cash out
Lol

They can't believe I did them in my home.

Canon pixma pro 100 all the way.

Refill kits or a continuous ink supply look like a long road to a little house unless you are printing hundreds of photos.
Although if anyone has had a worthwhile experience with a continuous ink supply or refill kits I would love to hear all about it.

Canon pixma pro 100 is tried and tested.
You can't loose for the money.
Wireless printing is a no go and ink is expensive
If you need better prints have them done by a print shop.

I am junking my Epson all in one office printer.

Looking for a good recomendation for an all in one utility printer for documents. Any sugestions?

Welcome dafrank
I have only been into photography for a few years now and am attempting to find "My style"
As broll would suggest I like time lapse, 3d paralax and work related to broll for use in video and film.

I think that for the next year I want to focus on the bread and butter of photography. Just good old fashion sharp well composed pictures. Stuff people pay for.

You mentioned taking pictures of Trucks. Anyways wanted your input.
Not looking to turn a profit but it would take my photography to the next level to be able to cover costs while gaining new skills. I don't need the money but I need money to be involved to perpetuate my skills.

Thanks and welcome to UHH

It looks like a 1st grader wrote my post.
Autocorrect is killing me.

That camera is a real work horse.
Nice to see someone using as a creative tool.

I took a nice picture of a mallard and someone did an acrylic hand painted version. I put it in a double sided stand alone frame and live it.

It really says something about perspective when you compare a drawing and a picture side by side.

Nice work.

I think your level of clarity is what we all hope for.
1st time using quote reply so I hope it is ok

Just for clarification you snapped 10 images
And did an hdr or focus stack?
Than merged them with software.
I'm a ps user

1st class picture.

The moon is not easy. I get similar results with my canon rig.

The moon really needs to be low in the horizon to get good results.

If only it would take a picture of what is exactly in the viewfinder.

I find 2 to 3 stops underexposed helps when the moon is high in the sky.

When the moon is out during the day is also a good oportunity.

Definitely frusterating.

Thanks. I appreciate you posting the settings.

So many ways to shoot fireworks.

Spend $25 and get a wireless intervalometer.
I have 2. When I'm not doing time lapse it is a great shutter release. Look on ebay.

Thanks

Nice shots
What were your lens and settings?
Did you use a tripod?
