Just before the 'mega' pixel wars started, the 10 to 12MP EOS designs were excellent performers, as good as or better than the next generation that pushed into the 16- to 18MP range, a generation that includes the 5DII. Finding extensive reviews of the original 5D is a challenge, you might start here with Rockwell that includes some comparative ISO analysis: https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/5d.htm

The 5DII is a lot of camera, now at a highly discounted price, but still not a highly regarded low-light performer. Are the used prices on the 5DIII outside your budget? If looking for the highest image quality north of ISO-6400, the technology isn't really there, even with the newest models of 2019.

I'd look at the 1DIV as compared to the 5DII. You'd give up some pixels, but gaining 1-series performance and ergonomics and a 1.3 'crop' factor.

I have the 1ds mk3 (full frame) and the 1d mk4. If your consideration is low light the 1ds mk 3 is a better performer
BnH has several used bodies between $900-$1100

Texts such as the NASB and NIV are based upon sound exegesis and readers of these English texts may be confident in the their translations of the Greek texts. Users of the KJV, too, may be confident in the reliability of that translation. We may be thankful for the Greek and Hebrew scholars who have done the exegetical work to provide us with reliable translations for many languages. It is not necessary for an individual like Pavich to do Greek or Hebrew exegesis in order to be knowledgeable in the Word of God. Referring to commentaries by individuals who have done exegesis is certainly helpful.

No doubt you do study the bible and you choose commentaries that support your beliefs. But you neither have the skill set nor the resources that enable you to do exegesis.

Part of the reason in the film days they shot hundreds of rolls of film is that often those assignments could entail many weeks or even months on remote location. Nat Geo photographers have to shoot in all the different scenarios and lighting conditions as they tell their stories photographically. It IS NOT about getting that lucky shot folks. The person that said that has NO clue.

These photographers spend months researching their subjects and locations and planning the proper gear to take, including survival gear in many instances. So no photo is by dumb luck, but instead by smart planning ,skill, diligence and persistence. Back in the film days, there were more shots bracketed for lighting as no one had the benefit of a digital image to review and then delete any not perfect. Remember Nat Geo photogs were shooting color transparency film which has a very limited dynamic range, unlike the amazing up to fifteen stops of dynamic range of the best modern digital camera sensors.

In the digital age Nat Geo and other pro photogs have more control and in-the-field review of how the shoot is going. back in the HEYDAY of photo magazines, Life magazine Photographer John Dominis spent months in Africa photographing big cats and was paid a six-figure fee for the amazing final shots he got after shooting for hundreds and hundreds of hours in tough conditions. Those days are long gone and to be sure, beyond any standard rates, today's freelance photographers can negotiate their fees based on many factors including the difficulty and danger of the assignment.

A lucky shot, someone said?
The national geographic photographer I talked with showed pictures of his trip to England. He liked the look of a bartender and had about 50 pictures of him standing there with a glass of beer in his hand. The pictures didn't vary much and it was kind of boring looking at so many of basically the same thing. That is how many shots they would take to get one the editors might choose.
He also showed about 50 pictures of a field of flowers, that many to get one that could be printed.
There are no lucky shots from the National Geographic photographers.

So you are contending that Paul pointing out to one group (as an aside in a letter) that if a missionary preaches the good news out of wrong motivations that that cancels out his multiple admonitions about not allowing women to have authority over men in a preaching capacity?

PS: They weren't preachers; they were missionaries, we are talking about Pastoring a church, the two aren't the same.

Two things in completely different contexts with two completely different subjects but you use one to cancel the other out?

I'm sorry but that just doesn't wash; that's very poor (incorrect) exegesis and not a good reason to abandon the many instances of direct instructions to not do this.

You keep taking about exegesis, I expect you mean proof-texting in order to back up your beliefs. I might be wrong though, what Hebrew or Greek exegetical works do you use?

I talked with one of their photographers and here is how he said it works. One of the staff photographers suggests a photo assignment. Then submits a proposal in great detail. If this is accepted, then the editors decide which photographer is sent on assignment. In film days they would shoot hundreds of rolls of film and send the film stateside.
I doubt that $500 per assignment is accurate.

its a way to advertise your work. If you take some pictures for someone and they post them on facebook your watermark can let others know you took them. Walmart and others will not print pictures from an image with a watermark on it.

Silver Dollar City has plenty of photo ops. People dressed in older style clothes, western gun fighters and a sheriff put on a show in the streets, there is a cave you can walk thru. There is a water ride with a bridge at the end of it you can stand on and get pics of the ride splashing thru the water, people making blown glass, a blacksmith doing his thing. There is a lot there to photograph.

Around Branson are a lot of scenic opportunities.

My daughter wanted me to take her wedding photos. I told her to hire someone else so that I could enjoy the wedding. I offered to pay for the photographer. I still took a lot of photos for her but the pros pictures were so much better.
If you aren't sure how to set the camera then you are going to have difficulties whenever you need to change the settings from indoor to outdoor to the strobe lights for the dances etc.
Hire someone to take the pics and enjoy the day.
