Want to put the lack of confidence in your photography into perspective? Take up golf.



Yep. That’ll do it.

Gaming computers usually are better for photo editing. Guess it's because of the extra memory and faster processors. I've not updated my computer in 3 years so I'm not much help.


Also, the upgraded GPU is better for photo editing. Look at the Dell G3 Series laptops. They are currently having a great sale on them. With computers, as in most things, you get what you pay for. Bargain Basement computers give you Bargain Basement performance.

+1 on this. Seems to be unbiased and based on facts and specifications.

I’ve used this site for comparison when making camera-buying decisions. It lays it out pretty well: https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-D5600-vs-Canon-EOS-70D

When I connect my iPhone to my computer it shows up in Windows 10 File Explorer as a drive. I do this regularly and have never had any issues.

Both are biased in their reviews because they accept monies from the manufacturers whose products they review......Rockwell more so than Northrup btw.....Sure they are experienced, but money makes folks less than objective....... I would not rely on any one source, but review many to determine average responses.


I do not trust sponsored reviews of any product. Photography related or not. It is considered an advertisement and nothing more.

I would consider 1150 at Adorama to 850 on Ebay a pretty substantial price difference.


Most likely a “gray market” unit. Read the descriptions carefully and only deal with sellers that have been around a while and have good feedback ratings.

I made room in one of my climate/humidity controlled gun safes. I do realize not everyone has a large safe but look into heavy duty cabinets from Lista or Stack-On.

Gorgeous images!

First off, shooting a full Moon and getting good contrast takes some good processing skills. When the Sun is shining straight down on the Moon there are very few shadows to enhance the surface features.

A couple of comments:
1) If you have any front mounted filters, remove them! They are an excellent source of reflections.
2) The Moon is a very bright object. Set ISO to 100 and exposure to about 1/250-1/400 sec. to start.
3) Autofocus on the Moon and lock the focus. Check the focus by zooming in.
4) Vary the exposure around these settings and keep shooting until you're happy with the result.

5) The Moon is an astro-imaging target and the Earth's atmosphere impacts its image quality, i.e.: the atmosphere is the last lens in your configuration and can cause the Moon's focus to change and its surface features to 'wobble'. Most serious Moon imagers either shoot a large number of subs (100+) or shoot video then use software to select the best few subs/frames for alignment and stacking to get the best possible result.

A 200 mm lens is short for good Moon photography but a good way to get started. A 500-600 mm lens is a better starting point for great Moon shots. The first attachment was shot with a RX10 IV @ 600 mm (equiv.). A 1000-2000 mm telescope is where you really start to see great Moon features (second attachment)!!

Enjoy!

First, a little side comment: if the only location of those five years' worth of jpg's is your SD card, please stop everything right now and copy them onto a computer .......


I was going to make a similar suggestion.

Shoot what you have. Forget spending more money.

The grass is always greener on someone else lawn. You will always wish for different gear than what you have...don't spend the money. Be happy, shoot, shoot, shoot.
