I use this multiple times a week for social media post. Using both a D750 and a D850. Works great!

Does it really work with a D750? The 750 is not listed as compatible. I tried a few years ago and it did not work. Thanks

Be careful.
You need to figure out how your account was hacked , they got your password somehow . They will do it again. Perhaps your phone or computer has a virus or keylogger or something on it. Have an expert check all your devices. Make sure your password is not some thing guessable. If Netflix has 2 phase authentication, use it.

Everybody is wrong. This is a real problem, but it was solved a long time ago. Just wrap your camera in aluminium foil. This solution also has the added benefit of increasing the number of channels your camera can receive!

Received an urgent warning from Raytheon (we are a subcontractor to them) yesterday, which we confirmed was valid, relating to a newly discovered critical vulnerability in Windows 10 only. A Microsoft link to the patch is here: https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-0601. Not sure when Microsoft intends to push this out to the general population, but all govt. agencies have been required to implement it ASAP.
Thanks for posting this. I have also posted a link to a detailed explanation for anyone interested.
It would seem that MS has pushed out the fix. I recommend that people check and confirm they recieved the update.

Acadia is over rated???
Great pictures. I have been there. I am not sure how you quantify "overrated". If you are expecting Acadia to be comparable to places like Yosemite, Arches, Canyonlands or Yellowstone, then you may (or may not ) be disapointed, but it is a beautiful place well worth visiting. Same goes for many "famous" places. They might not reach your expectations, but few if any are a waste of time.

ISO 400 and aperture priority should work just fine unless it's dark outside. Use Exposure compensation for subjects in shadows. You can also use manual mode, wide open on your lens, 1/2000th shutter speed, and Auto ISO. Shoot RAW so you can get the most out of processing those that might be over or under exposed.
The suggestions of "Auto" are well intentioned, but wrong. That is not the setting you want to use. It might be OK for scenery, but will work poorly especially for birds in flight. As Jeep_daddy suggested, Given your minimal experience, use aperture priority. It should give you better results and have a small learning curve. Vary the aperture and pay attention to what the shutter speed is. For BIF, you usually want to have a speed over 1/1000. If the lighting conditions are poor, increase the ISO . You may end up with an ISO over 1000.
Full manual is not necessary and usually NOT the best option for any pictures where lighting conditions are changing.
Practice at home before you travel.
Hope this helps.

In Sedona, consider renting and driving your own jeep from Barlows (bring certificate of auto insurance). You can drive any of the Pink Jeep routes, they give you a map, you set the trip odometer at the 'Buick gate' and follow the excellent guide. This allows you to set your pace. Rent noon to noon and you can get sunset/sunrise, assuming the weather cooperates.
That is very good advice. Several years ago we took a Pink Jeep tour. Yes they were very nice and accommodating, and Yes we read all the great reviews, but we found the tour very expensive and did not really see much that we could not have seen from one of the dirt roads. Perhaps it was the specific tour we took. Also, if you look at the cost for 2 people, you can usually rent a jeep for a day for the same price, and see far more.

I use the LR/PS CC a lot. Most of my stuff goes in... (show quote)
I see quite a bit of misinformation in the responses. Not a surprise, most LR users do not understand catalog systems such as LR. Not a criticism, it is easy to confuse things. I am pretty sure (not positive) that I know what your problem is.
First of all, photos do not "go into LR " or "go into PS". You have pictures in a folder on your storage drive.
If you use Windows explorer , you can see them there. Just the same as any other document or piece of data you store.
PS or LR can only access photos that they are told about. This is done by adding them to the Catalog. The actual photos are NOT really added to the catalog. the catalog has pointers that point to the location of the photo. (along with metadata & other stuff).
So, what this means is that sometimes when you create a new photo file (such as a PSD) , depending upon the process you use, a Pointer to that NEW file will NOT be added to the catalog.
This means that the photo is there (saved on your computer) but LR does NOT know where it is.
The solution is to tell LR where it is by adding it to the LR catalog.
Step 1: know where you saved it. ie... c:\photosFromPS\newphotoname.PSD or whatever.
Step 2 open up LR
Step 3: in Library mode, go to the folders on the left. It should list your actual computer drives. (C:, D; etc).
Step 4:navigate to the folder where you just saved the new PSD
Step 5: right click on floder and select "Synchronize Folder..."
Step 6: The "import new photos" box should show more than 1.
Note, it will count all the photos in the folder that are not currently in the LR catalog, so you might have quite a few "lost photos"
Step7: click on "sychronize". it should import all the photos (really just pointer to the photos) into the LR catalog and when finished, show you the photos you just added,
try it
Hope this helps,

And also if you are thinking of going to Valley of the Gods from up on the plateau, and snow hasn’t accumulated, drive the Moki Dugway. Google it. You won’t ever forget that drive.
I just did the Moki Dugway last month. Well worth doing. Don't let some of the reviews scare you. The winding, narrow dirt road is only a few miles long, and well worth it for great view. Not at all dangerous if you just go slow. If you continue to Valley of the Gods, don't miss Forest Gump Point.

Sorry, you are incorrect. Cell phones can use towers to refine your location, but they primarily use GPS. I often use cellphone mapping with ONLY gps. Most recently at Canyonlands and Arches and 3 miles into Grand Canyon (2,000 ft down). Also at 35,000 ft in airplane.
Oops, almost forgot. The issue is you cannot get access to a detailed map unless you download one first (abs save locally on your phone)while you have internet access.

I scanned a picture and Photoshop wouldn't open all way. After quite awhile it opened I did my edit and PS wouldn't let save. After awhile it did. I have a toshiba laptop with a I5 processor and 8 gigs OF RAM. I know I should have but, it worked fine and LR worked fine today. My computer has always worked fine with PS.It might be a little slow but I've got nothing but time.
Check to see if you have space on your hard drive. It may be filling up. You may not have enough available space for page/swap files and LR cache files. Also , unfortunately Adobe LR requires a lot of resources to run. This means that using an i5 and 8gb ram may not work. If you can at least upgrade to 16gb ram you should do it.

Going from warm to cold won't fog the lens...it going from cold to warm will. Half your problem is solved already.
You are correct. There is no reason to keep a camera cold. Warm is better. Your camera will only collect moisture if you are outside in cold air for long enough for the camera to cool down. Only at that time if you bring the camera back in a warm and humid car, will it fog up. One way to minimize this is to put it in a plastic bag BEFORE returning to the car. Let it warm up in the car while inside the bag. No need to torture yourself with a cold car. Hope this helps.
