apparently this happens every year, and last year La Junta held a Migration Festival; anyone familiar with this ?

Well, I guess it is a bucket list item; if you have other suggestions for slot canyons that would be reasonably easy to reach, please tell me.. been to UT a few times, passed some signs on the highway like Kolob Canyon

thanks for the detailed reply, though Ed

Thanks '!!!!!

headed there next week:

1. of all the articles I have seen on UHH, no one talked about the cost of admission; it seems on the Navajo site that ( right now ) it is $145 / person. Is this correct ?

2. I am 77, short of breath, a little clumsy - is the Lower Antelope Canyon a little daunting ?

3. Since it is not recommended to change lenses, I plan on sticking my 18mm full frame lens on my Sony A7RIII;
will this do the trick ?

4. Has anyone taken the raft of powerboat tour out on to the Lake? if so, comments ?

And also the Alien Throne (a harder trek)

apparently all formations require a trek, some harder than others. I am 77, clumsy, lazy, and a great
hiker. It looks more and more like I should avoid this trip

NM - Bisti Wilderness

someone wrote and posted some pics last week about this area near Four Corners; since I will be in PHX next weekend ( and will be almost halfway to NM ), I might as well head over there. Any Hoggers have any input on this area ? ( I have been to 4 corners, Mesa Verde, etc. many times )

Back up RAW files separately from JPGs?

Delderby wrote:

After uploading pics to win10 laptop from camera, I would like to copy all RAWs to one set of folders and all JPGs to another set - is this possible? If a simple procedure, how could I do it? or is there an app that can do it?
Thanks for any suggestions.

open up the pics folder, go to View, go to details, files will be sorted by file type, as you wish; then you
can just move all the .raw to one folder, and .jpeg to another

Good luck with that! I have recently purchased a Toaster Oven and an InstaPot. Also, my son, who maintains my Galaxy on his Plan, just upgraded me to the new Galaxy 14. Not one of them came with anything more than a minimal "Quick Start". Maybe you don't want to print out seventy-some pages of a Manual, but you can download to your Download folder and access when you need.

Years ago, maybe 2005 or so, I went to the DC Auto Show; the car manufacturers didn't have brochures; they told me to go online & print it. Cost was shifted to consumers a ling time ago

And you can get a quality after-market foot for this lens at about a third that price.

Already said that: Canon hood for RF 100-400 is $54.95; Amazon has a generic for $13.95

All non-L lenses do not come with hoods that I know of.
Duh!!!!!!!!

Why the condescending "duh?" inappropriate response; if someone doesn't know, they don't know

Was it an L lens?? I think all L lenses come with a hood. If not, I'd buy that generic hood.

No, RF; i immediately bought ( nit the $54,95 Canon OEM hood ) a generic identical hood for $13.95?hood from ( you know where )
