Is there a professional photographers organization in your area? Becoming a member might require a business license. Well worth it to join. They are in the business of photography, not a hobby. Someone mentioned an organization with a magazine. That would be PPA ( Professional Photographers Of America). A national organization. You should start with a local organization. Contact photo studios in your area to see if they have one.

Really, so camera's read middle gray in snow scenes? Really, did not know that, how interesting.
Yes, if light entering meter is too bright, meter says stop down to make it middle gray. If too dark, meter says open up to let more light in to equal middle gray. Did you shoot slide film back in the day? Middle gray was the perfect exposure for detail in highlights and shadow. Same with todays sensors. Middle gray will yield whites with detail/shadows with detail.

Doesn't matter if it's hand held or in camera. All light meters read middle gray. Use what you like.

I havebeen thinking of the possibilities of connecting a mirrorless to a set of vr goggles . Seeing the image the sensor sees, not on the back of the camera but on the goggles. It would open up all sorts of possibilities for shooting images when we couldn't actually get behind the camera. Think folks with disabilities.
With enough sensors in the area, you could take a 3D tour.

If you have $99.99 to throw away, set it up in PayPal and order it. Keep us posted when you get it. Keep a sharp eye out on all your bank accounts and personal info. There might be a YOU in a foreign country.

18-300mm 3.5-6.3 G ED VR pretty much stays on my D5300. Be happy with whatever you choose. Have fun.

There should be an instruction sheet in each box of film. Load the film into your camera in total darkness. Do Not remove film from the film canister in light. I had a dark bag designed specifically for loading and removing infrared film into my camera when outside. It's been maybe 40 yrs. since I last used infrared film. My memory might be a little fogged.

So you want to explore the macro world. If you get the macro lens, you will be able to explore and photograph the little things in life and also use the lens for other things like portraiture, pets, etc. If you get the D500, you will have 2 camera bodies and no macro lens. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you will be happy.

A great chef can achieve wonders in the kitchen with only basic ingredients and the right attitude, the rest of us are always left wondering whether his camera has a mirror.
A great chef probably had formal training and can do wonders on an open campfire. If it's more than just add water, I'm lost.

Do what is best for you. If you will learn from taking classes, reading a book, youtube, great. Doing nothing but buying more equipment will render the same photos, only with more expensive gear. If I buy a really expensive oven, does that make me a gourmet chef? If you have the desire to learn photography, by all means gain knowledge however you see fit. There is no, "only one right way." Do what pleases you.

Those plastic hood latches break all the time at the cable connector. From inside the car, use a pair of pliers and pull the cable straight out (same direction the hood latch would go) until the hood pops up.

It seems like they knew what was coming. We had a blue moon last night. It did not look bad to me.

Did you know,,,, the verse "there's a bad moon on the rise" was mistaken by most people and heard as "there's a bathroom on the right." Fogerty occasionally sang "bathroom on the right" as having fun with the audience.
