For both of my cameras I have 3 batteries. I put a half inch circle sticker on them, numbered 1, 2 & 3, plus month & year went into use. When 1 is charging (always outside the camera) 2 goes in, 2 charge 3 in, 3 charge 1 in. This evens usage, allows me to see how long each lasts (OEM vs 3rd party if used) both for shoots and over time. Have never had to replace (buy) more than one at a given time.

OK, then I concur. I still don't like acronyms.
You just used one. OK originated around Boston as part of a fad for misspelling in the late 1830s, and originally stood for "oll korrect [all correct]". This origin was first described by linguist Allen Walker Read in the 1960s.

Covered a large part of Iceland in March, would not worry much about blowing sand or dirt - a volcanic island, either rocks or "grass" covered. Waterfalls and geysers be aware of wind direction. Weather can & does change often, often windy.

One deadbeat to another I don't disagree with you, same for my 30 yr old Master Card, but was reporting what large dealership finance guy told me, who is tuned in better to today's world than you or me. Doubt an active card would get canceled - still making merchant's fee - but times have changed, especially like other card where I get 2% cash back wiping out most of their sale fee, or if little use could go the result of the OP here.I think the card could get cancelled if you don't use but not for paying it off every month. I do a lot of purchases with my credit card and I always pay it off every month and carry no balance. They never cancel my card. It's been that way for about 20 years already.

Recently bought new car, financed a small portion, in filling out current debts listed zero, pay off credit cards balance every month. Finance guy suggested to leave a little balance now & then, pay a couple bucks interest, or good chance I could get canceled. Those who pay on time and no interest are considered "Deadbeats" in the finance world!!! Times have changed in this upturned country.

Just got back from Iceland last month. Couple observations may or may not apply. We would bus 45-60 minutes outside of Reykjavik's. Because everyone was so bundled up driver kept heat turned down on bus. Lens did not fog, assume due to low winter humidity and constant wind over the lens. Small red lens flashlight might be useful.

My quess is the threads have worn because that is a heavy camera (have one) and very forward leaning when zoomed. I obtained a plate so I could move the body further back, thus moving center of gravity back for balance.I'd been leaving my Nikon P1000 attached to the tripod at all times because it's been the only way I ever use it....It probably got bumped in the car or something, but really, I don't know for sure..

I just came from a trip to Iceland pursuing the Northern Lights - failure while I could have just visited far Northern states last week. <grin> But all who had flashlights were red.

My first real camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, and the manual had many sample pictures (B&W only at that time). The models were Japanese, and to my surprise had unshaven armpits. That really stood out to me.
In the Army, when I arrived in Germany in 1966, I was shocked to see young ladies with hairy armpits & unshaven legs. Within a couple months my mind went to "what hair?". Where I bought my first real camera, Pentax Spotmatic.

Great, well done original photo for the times. I have a similar photo (not as fancy) of my great grandmother from latter 1800s only in a BLACK dress. Did some research, interesting... "It was common in the late nineteenth century for women to wear their “best” dress, often black, to their weddings. White dresses began gaining popularity following Queen Victoria's wedding in 1840, but as with most trends, it took quite awhile for the custom to become popular in the middle and lower classes."

They already are. I hear that high end "cellcameras" will even allow phone calls and texting. <grin>Phones will never be real cameras until cameras become phones.

Forgot, the iconic "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign is at 5100 LV Blvd South.

There are open sky bridges that go over Las Vegas Blvd (the Strip) that will give you great angles & views. Also just shooting the iconic casinos from across the Blvd (between traffic light changes) works too. Also worthwhile to go downtown to Fremont Street for both some of the original casinos and street scene.
