I got my appointment for the first shot today. I am scheduled for Valentines Day. Now I feel like a short timer in a combat zone and I don't like the feeling.
Got my Moderna COVID shot on Tuesday. Shoulder is a bit sore but no other complaints. Next shot is scheduled for 4 weeks out. I was lucky. I was on line looking for information when WA changed its requirements to anyone 65 or over and I was able to get an appointment at a Safeway pharmacy. Very efficient took about 20 minutes including the 15 minute post vaccination observation period. All appointments were filled within the hour. Like I said, I was very lucky and realize that.

I'm looking for a quick release for my tripod and monopod so I can change heads quickly. I don't want to spend a fortune but obliviously I want something reliable. Any recommendations besides RRS.
Try ProMedia gear, great quality, reasonable but not cheap I have one of their quick release clamps on each of my 2 tripods and Kirk plates on 3 different heads. Combination works great.

Yes, Looking for a cheaper way to get 9 fps from my D850. I'm looking for users that have successfully found a work around. Please no links as I have seen them all. Looking for real experience only. And yea I know already, why try to cheap out, well $15,000 already invested in Nikon equipment I would like for once to save money. $1,200 to get an extra 2 fps is Nikon doing the old reach around.... I can do that myself..... Not to mention I'm putting the saved dollars towards my 3 week vacation coming up soon. Thanks, Martin..

I use the Nikon Battery Grip with my D 850 and successfully use the following:
Watson Duo Charger from B & H with Watson EN-EL-18C battery - $198.00 for both.
I bought an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Nikon BL-5 Battery Chamber cover on ebay as they were on back order at B & H - $38.47 delivered.
When charged the battery shows 99% in the camera and appears to provide the 9fps.
Amazing. Some of the best that I have seen.
I agree. I have the Sigma Art 14-24 f2.8 but wanted something faster for Milky Way photography. Hopefully I can do the lens justice. Cheers.

SmallRig has one but it has a gap between side of camera and the small side of bracket. Others have suggested 3 Legged but they do not list the RP for their brackets?
Try ProMedia Gear. I really like their products.
Excellent. Seasons Greetings and obviously safe travels 😁. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you. Alan.
Thanks MT Shooter. I bought one of your Nest gimbals several years ago and it is great. Since lens is new in box I presume warranty would still be valid, correct? If so, I will buy for $1100. I am in no hurry for it, thinking ahead for Milky Way season. Prefer to pay you when you are able to ship but would provide a deposit to hold until then to demonstrate I will complete transaction when you are able to ship. Thanks and I look forward to your response.
LENS FOUND post withdrawn. WTB (Want to Buy) Sigma 14mm F 1.8 ART Nikon Mount. Must be in excellent or better condition. Yes, I have looked at MPB (0 inventory), KEH ($1214, plus tax, approximately 10% in WA) , Roberts (0 inventory), Adorama ($1199, plus tax), and B&H (0 inventory). I won’t consider ebay for this item. Please PM me with any questions or offers. I can pay by PayPal, Zelle, Cashiers or personal check, or? Also cash if you are in the Seattle area. Thanks.

Looking for an app or computer program that I can input my location in advance for a moon or sun rising or setting shot. I've heard you can input a location on some programs and it will show where the sun or moon is rising or setting on a specific day. I have photo pills and sun and moon apps on my iPhone. I have this location of a small pond with towering rocks on each side I would like to get a sunset shot between the rocks.
PhotoPills does what you are wanting to do. They have excellent tutorials.

I've just downloaded Steve Perry 's book on wildlife photography and he recommends an app for photography planning. After a little searching I found two apps, PhotoPills and Planit. I'm wondering if many users have one of these apps and what they think of it (them). Cost is about $10 which would be a bargain if the apps are useful. Appreciate your opinions. Thanks in advance.
PhotoPills is great. They have excellent in depth tutorials and instructional videos and live Utube presentations. There is a bit of a learning curve but the resources are definitely there. Hard to think of anything regarding planning that it cannot handle.
