Hi, going to the Grand Canyon in July and looking to capture some great memories. I have a Canon 760D with the following lens. Canon EFS 18-85 mm 3.5 IS, Canon EF 70-200 4, and a Canon EF 50 mm 1.8. Do you think I need a Prime wide angle lens, or any other lens that may work better than my current outfit.
Photos at the Grand Canyon are primarily landscape, so the 18-85 would be my first choice, and the 50mm would be my second choice. The 70-200 would probably be too much.

Just something to think about. I purchased an HP a few years ago with a 512gb SSD. I filled it up within a year and had to take it in and get the C:/ drive replaced with a regular, but larger, hard drive. Looking at my C:/ drive, I am currently using a little over 650 gb. Keep that in mind before purchase.
Check your c:/ drive to see how much you are using before you decide.

I didn't realize there were any reasonably intact WWII boats still around. Might be worth a trip to San Fran to take the wife through one still outfitted and fully cramped with gear. The boat I served on was the USS Catfish SS339, basically the same class as the Pampanito but with many refit upgrades.
Check before you take the trip. These boats were not open to the public. They do have some in Hawaii that are boardable.

Your colophon/signature/trademark looks at least as important as any element in your photos. Not meant as an insult, just a peeve of mine seen in all too many submissions. None of us are Ansel Adams, Hoyningen-Huen, et al.
Sorry you feel that way. If you had ever had a photo stolen from you, you would possibly sign yours also. It is not a perfect way to protect ones photos, but it helps.

I'm a complete beginner and have just been given a Lumix TZ80. I really want to get to grips with night shots and wildlife, so looking forward to learning new skills and moving on from point and click.
Welcome. Google and You Tube are your friends. You will be able to learn a lot with You Tube, and the lessons are live action, so sometimes easier to follow.

You may be misunderstanding the point on JPEG vs RAW or TIFF. JPEG is a format that is necessary in order to share or send photos to others through email or social media. It is also necessary when printing an image. Nobody that is knowledgeable on the format will reject JPEG as a useful format for an image. The problem with shooting images in JPEG is that you will limit the data the photo retains for post processing. A lot of photographers, including professionals, will shoot in JPEG + RAW so that they may send a photo to a client quickly before post processing.

Very nice set of photos, but the partially hidden barn is a stunner! In my mind I see it in b&w and think how nice it could be. Not better, just another medium to play with. Good work!
