Occasionally, I have to pinch myself to see if I actually captured these images or was I just dreaming. At this time of year, I can be found spending hours once a week taking plenty of hummingbird images. I may take thousands of images in a day but most go in the king size trash bin of my computer. I often hope for multiple birds in one image and sometimes miracles happen. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
All I can say is WOW.

[quote=LEGALDR]No matter where you live in the USA, this coming week will provide you with a number of great opportunities to take pictures of fireworks. Many of us do not do this on a regular basis and therefore I will do a little review for myself I am reviewing my file on "Fireworks Photography" as I type. I will be using my tripod. I don't use it enough so I will dust it off first. I will try to locate my cable release or refresh my memory on how I use Bulb on the camera that I will be using.
Last year. Most are at 5 second exposure.

Love the shots. I moved into the DSLR market with the D5600 and the "kit" lens 18-140 vr and the 70-300 VR lens. I love the 18-140. Super sharp, rairly comes off the camera. Not as happy with the 70-300 vr etc.
The 5600 has the articulating screen and is one of the lightest DSLRs. I'm not a pro and at my age have no ambition to be one but I love my 5600. Food for thought, hope it helps.

Hi Tom,
Welcome to the forum. I purchased a D5600 last year and really like it. I went for a kit with the 18-140 VR and the 70-300 VR. Honestly, the 18-140 rairly come off the camera. I love it. Not the fastest lens but the 5600 is very forgiving with higher ISO. One of the things that helped my decision was the size/weight of it and the way it fit my hand (a bit arthritic). You've been given lots of good advice but in the end it's your choice to make. If you can, go to a store and handle a few of them before you decide. Good luck with your search.

If you want a bag which does not scream; "camera, come steal me", try a Billingham Overnighter leisure bag. They look like a gym bag, and no one will want to steal your smelly jock straps / tennis shoes. Put some of the Billingham Superflex Partitions into the bag, to hold lenses, etc, and you will have enough padding.
Obviously you didn't read my reply. Why would I want to spend at least $200 extra dollars for a bag that doesn't appear to have any better padding or protection than the Amazon. If you have money to piss away, go for it. If people know about Billingham they would steal it just because the bag is expensive.

I have to agree with the replies about Amazon Basics bags. They are well padded on all sides, well made and incredibly priced. I thought it was too good to be true but it's not, IMHO. They also don't scream camera come steal me. Amazon gives you the internal dimensions on the page. Just need to do your due diligence.

Your question has been answered. Don't ever save over the original image. Always save a copy after editing. You'll lose nothing that way.

Probably from a snow removal vehicle under heavy pressure based on it being broken and found right after a snow.

Definitely a banded/Brown water snake. Both the copperhead and water moccasin have vertical pupils and pits. I've seen dozens of them killed as terrible venomous snakes by great white hunters on float trips. Fortunately they are pretty prolific breeders. There's no need to kill any snake in the woods. I'm home lawns maybe.

I want to know what bags have worked and which haven't. I want to be able to put it under my seat or in the overhead of the smaller regional jets. Last time I had to gate check my Pelican 1510 and that doesn't set well with me.
I did quite a bit of research before I bought this sling pack. I can't believe the inexpensive price for the quality. I've had it and carried it everywhere I go since November and it still looks new. I wanted something easy to deal with and not scream steal me.
The inside is completely flexible. I have (from memory probably forgetting something). Nikon D5600 with 18-140 and sunshade attached, 70-300 VR lens, large GoPro speedlight, small kit flash, Canon point and shoot, Vivitar teleconverter and wide angle, two 3 count sets of filters and a jumbo Ziploc all in just the main compartment which is orange to show contrast. It also has an upper compartment which is large enough to hold an SLR body if desired. Zippers are harty and quite smooth. Side entry allows super quick but safe access.
I know this sounds like I work for Amazon but I don't and still find it hard to believe this bag was under 20 bucks on sale. 23 normal price. Small enough to go almost anywhere including under airline seat but big enough to hold most anything I need.
Do your own research but don't disqualify it for price.

Welcome to the forum. My background is similar to yours as well as the time. I also spent years with a medium level point and shoot also. Last year I went through the same process of selection. I decided on the D5600 with the 18-140 and 70-300 lenses. I dearly love the 18-140. It only leaves my camera when I need the extra reach.
I had narrowed down to a few and my decision was made by holding the finalists in my hand. The 5600 was much lighter and fit my hand perfectly. I'm no pro and have no plans to be but I've produced shots of concerts that the bands use for their public advertisements.
I wanted a camera I would want to carry around and not kill my aging body. Go and hold some cameras Best buy doesn't seem to take offense to letting you try them.
Good luck with your search and decision. I love my D5600. A great all around camera.

After a lot of research and help from UHH members I bought the Godox V860IIN lion from Amazon for my D5600 and love it. It's not the smallest but good for general purpose and the system is expandable as my needs grow. I couldn't justify the cost of the Nikon lights for my amateur needs. Hope this helps you.
