Did you consider doing a google search?

If this it the right place

Graduation has a long list of NOs including:

Flash photography, video cameras, recording devices, cameras with detachable lenses

Prepare ahead of time.

Camera with lens attached might mean permanently attached lens. I doubt they would want people with long lenses distracting the people around them during the ceremony.

While DU is a private entity, Cherry Creek schools are public. I have to wonder if these photographic restrictions are a violation of First Amendment rights. Seriously. And given what I know about Cherry Creek, I wonder why it doesn't have its own venues for graduation -- unless they wanted an excuse to control people (which education administrators love to do.)

I have a bunch of Minolta lenses from the SRT101 days. I researched using them on my Nikon D5300 and bought a FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Minolta MD Lens to Nikon F Mount Camera from B&H. I had no expectation that the older lenses would work like the ones designed for the D5300. But, they do work. I have to manually focus and I choose to manually set exposure and shutter speed. After lots of experimentation, I only use an old Tamaron 600 with a converter to go for some really long shots. It works. On the other hand, since I also have the F mount Tamron 18-400, the old lenses don’t get much use.

Did I miss a reference to Mesa Verde National Park? Just south of Cortez which is 30 +/- miles from Durango. I consider it a must see if you are in the four corners area. Ps, 4 corners is a nothingburger except for its geographic interest. Sadder scenery is hard to find.


I agree about the Four Corners National Monument.

I mentioned Mesa Verde, for the record; and to me, who first saw Mesa Verde in 1957 and returned many times, it is as magical a place as they come.

Also, let me clarify a few things about Farmington, NM (where I lived from 1996 to 2001: There are two Ancient Puebloan sites near there. To the northest are the Aztec Ruins in the town of Aztec. To the east near the twon of Bloomington are the Salmon Ruins and Museum. And to the south are the Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area.

@newsguygeorge WOW! You're a wealth of information! Thank you very much! Great advice and suggestions! For the record, 1. we'll be driving a Tesla so we have to stay on routes where there are chargers, 2. The wedding is in Pagosa Springs with the rehearsal dinner in Durango so we're staying in an Airbnb in Pagosa Springs and 3. All of this info is new to me except for Chimney Rock which was already on my radar. Thanks again for the excellent info!


Tesla and charging stations are above my pay grade, so good luck with melding all these suggestions into an electrified and electrifying route. And have fun.

That’s a lot of stops and stuff for 10 days, especially if you’re in Durango for a wedding. You didn’t indicate how many days that will take. But, given my knowledge of the Southwest, having lived and travelled there extensively, here are my thoughts, keeping in mind that I kept in mind the tons of photo ops.

Ditch Sedona and Telluride. They are out of your way for what I consider little payoff. Sedona is overrated and a tourist trap. I’ve only been to Telluride once very long ago and if you’re going for the scenery, that’s your call; but, Durango is in a beautiful river valley with plenty to see. So is Pagosa Springs. Were I planning this trip, it would be based on the Google map linked at the bottom of this post. Here are my very opinionated comments.

Oatman and Kingman — The former, a little less than 4 hours from Joshua Tree, is famous for its free-range donkeys and the latter, just down the road, is famous for being on Route 66, which is much celebrated.

Flagstaff — No real comment, although it’s the gateway to the Grand Canyon’s South Rim.

Winslow — Yes, everyone can “Take It Easy” downtown by “Standing on the Corner in Winslow, Arizona.” But the real gem is the La Posada, an incredibly restored Harvey House with a restaurant to die for — the Turquoise Room, named after the old Santa Fe Super Chief dining car. East of Winslow, you’ll be near the Petrified Forest to the south and the Hopi reservation Second Mesa to the north.

Gallup — You’ll find this Navajo rez border town well worth your time. Consider staying at the famous El Rancho Hotel and check with the hotel if there will be Native American dancing downtown. Mama’s Kitchen and Genaro’s Café are really good. Window Rock, a short detour from Gallup, is the capital of the Navajo Nation — and eponymous Window Rock formation. I have a soft spot for the American Indians, so I've made it my priority to spend money with them, especially on genuine crafts which individual artists sell in Gallup and in Window Rock. As you go north from Gallup through Tohatchi and Newcomb, you’re on the Navajo rez — drive carefully and watch your speed.

Farmington — This rez border has little to recommend, although I lived there for 2½ years some 22 years ago. But, you’ll be near Shiprock, also on the rez, where you can see the peak that is part of the tribe’s creation story. It’s called Tsé Bitʼaʼí, “rock with wings” or “winged rock.” If you do Shiprock, I’ve routed you up into Cortez. If you have time, and I hope you do, try to spend time at Mesa Verde National Park. It is magic. If you want to go back through Farmington, avoid Hwy 170 through La Plata and continue east to Bloomington. It’s faster and if you can spare the time, you’ll find the Aztec Ruins, another of the many Ancient Ones Puebloan culture sites. Then take US 550 up over Cedar Hill into Durango. There are some nice overlooks into the Las Animas River valley.

Durango — One of my favorite places in the world because of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. If your wedding isn’t tied to a location, I’d stay at the Strater Hotel. Otherwise, I’ll leave Durango to your hosts/friends/family.

Pagosa Springs — Yes, there are several places in town to enjoy the hot springs, but Chimney Rock is another sacred Native American Place worth looking into.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Canyon de Chelly (pronounced Canyon de shay) outside of Chinle, Ariz. You need a Navajo guide to into the canyon, although staying at the top is free. And while Thunderbird Lodge isn’t highly rated, it’s Native-owned; and, it’s been there a long time. I stayed there with my parents in the 1950s.

I invite OP or anyone else to (1) hit websites for these places, (2) query me; and, (3) if any Hoggers have more recent information, I’d love to know it.

I think you get what you pay for. I will only use Nikon batteries for my D5300. Same for my Canon Powershot G-15-- the off brands just don't hold up, so it's Canon batteries for that one, too.

My experience with this issue is pulling the lens hood back over the lens. I don’t know how to describe it in a SFW fashion. Depending on how smooth the ride is, you can touch the window or not, but shoot at an angle. In other words, don’t hold the camera perpendicular to the window. Obviously, you need to shoot at a high shutter speed.

My wife and I have used Canvas Discount for years, but in the past couple of months we’ve had some problems. The pricing has been inconsistent with the promotions and shipping was an issue. While the canvas products are timely, the acrylic cubes seem to be made off-shore and took way too long for delivery. And I couldn’t track the order through the shipper.

Our next local art show in which we anticipate participating isn’t till September, so I will be seeking other sources for our product.

Maybe we should just accept that some people want or need a viewfinder. I am one of those and that's why I still have my Canon Powershot G-16.
