Alaska by RV?

AR Farm Gal wrote:

We are planning to go to Alaska early July. Rental cars are scarce as hens teeth! We have a hold on a 24' RV till the end of this week and trying to make that decision asap. We are used to pulling a large rig (24' trailer + 3/4 ton pickup), so I don't think driving it will be an issue. We will fly into Anchorage and visit southern coastal areas - Seward, Homer, etc. Anyone with experience driving a small RV in that area? Pros and cons of doing this?

It's not a problem, Alaska is geared for tourist. it's a fun way go once your up there. lock your doors.

Trying out the Sigma 60-600mm Sports on my D850 at Cypress Wetland in Beaufort, SC

Nikon makes a 200mm to 500mm. I've yet to see a 50mm to 500mm.

Photographing an explosion, will this work...?

Use a mirror, focus thru it to protect your lens and camera. you might be surprised at how intense the light is from a small fire cracker. At one time in my career I worked in the test area for thiokol Corp. our job was to photograph small scale rocket motors that were intentionally blown up. we had to stop down our lens and increase thew shutter speed a lot to get any thing visible. Good luck and have fun.

Birds in flight suggestions for northern Utah

Bruce Hudson wrote:

I’ll be spending next week in northern Utah visiting my son who is finishing grad school at Utah State in Logan Utah. Any suggestions for birds in flight spots within a couple of hours drive?
Thanks

Bear River bird refuge, just west of Brigham City, Utah, one hour drive from Logan, Ut. It is a National bird refuge open to the public, probably the most water foul you'll find in the State of Utah. If you drive west of the visitors center a few miles there is an self serving auto tour that goes about four to six miles in a loop. It's a dirt road and the birds are within a few feet of the road often. I was there two days ago, saw a lot of blue herons, yellow headed black birds, terns, ducks, geese with babies, cinnamon teal, pelicans, grebes, etc., etc. from Bruce M.

I've lived in Utah all my 72 years of life, those area's are great to see. one thing to remember is that it is very Hot and dry that time of year. so have some way to cool off and stay hydrated.

The best camera

Perhaps a good way to find the best camera is to count up every single accessory that a camera can use and match it up against every other camera and it’s accessories. A simple count would give us the winner. 😊😊

The best camera is the one you have in your hand.

low angle tripod

My Gitzo GT3543XLS came with a center plate and a center post. you can use it either way. The legs will extend out flat so your only about 2 inches high.

Client wants the Outtakes

I contract for a given number of photo's. you own the rest of them and if they are not up to your standard you will only hurt business by showing them. The client will show all your photo's good or bad to everyone that wants to see them.

I just connect the camera to the computer with a USB cable. That way I don’t have to remove the card from the camera.

I do the same with my Z7.
