Thanks for your response. I own a Tokina F4 12-28 WA Zoom, a 60mm Micro Nikkor and a 105mm Micro Nikkor. These are my primary lenses. The WA zoom I use for landscape photography and the macro lenses for my close up Mineral photography. If I move forward with this purchase I will retire the D7000, but still use the D7200 in the field. The new body is to hopefully improve some of my close up image photography.

I am thinking about adding a full frame camera to my group of APC bodies (Nikon D7000 and Nikon D7200). I have seen a number of D750 bodies offered at reasonable prices in my local area (Houston metro) on Facebook Marketplace. Some give the number of shutter accuations, under 50,000. I would use this camera body for my closeup photography and for vacation nature and geological photography. Does anyone have anything positive or negative to say about this camera body? The sellers I would deal with offer to let you take photos with the body and my own lenses and see the results.

Just back from a two week trip to Colorado. Attended the Denver Gem and Mineral show for a couple days, went to a family wedding and visited with my wife’s family in the Vail valley on the western slope. I had my good cameras, Nikon D7000 and D7200 with me. Those photos are still not downloaded or processed. What I wanted to show you are some of my iPhone photos, processed through Camera Plus or edited in Photos. I currently use an iPhone 8, though I will be upgrading in the next month to a new phone. My photography is limited in time and place to my travels. I am not a “get up before dawn, hike 3 miles and set up a pro tripod to catch first light” photographer. More of a “Okay, where shall we go today?” type. Occasionally I get lucky and I am in the right place at the right time.

Nice set of photos. Good composition and exposure. Love the b&w Teton shot.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with my problem. There is something that I forgot to explain. Prior to 2016 I used a stand alone version of Lightroom that had been set up as LR3 and upgraded through LR5. This version has it's own .lrcat file. In 2016 I bought a Nikon D7200 body which was not recognized by LR5. I then took Adobe's offer of purchasing LR6 rather than going to the subscription model. This second standalone version of Lightroom has it's own separate .lrcat file. Therefore up to now if I wanted to see what I had done on any 2003-2015 files I had to open LR5 to activate that .lrcat file.

So, back to my problem. I found that I could go to Lightroom under folders, select one master folder (2003 photos for example), right click on it and select "Update Folder Location". Then I went to my E: drive (the external one) and selected 2003 under Lightroom Folders/2003. When I clicked "select folder" the 2003 folder disappeared from the internal D: drive location in the LR6 Folder panel and appeared in the external E: drive location. I plan to keep doing this until I have "moved" all the folders under the D: drive to the E: drive.

I posted about this in early November and got some good suggestions. I went to Lightroom Queen and she has a 26 page pdf about it. Reading it I see that I have a problem, of my own making it looks like, and I would appreciate any suggestions.
Last year I was running out of space on my 2Tb internal drive on my old HP computer (Win 8). My solution to this was to buy a 6 Tb external drive and start using it as if it was the main drive on the computer. I transferred all my photos to it from the internal 2Tb drive and when inputting new photos to Lightroom instructed it to find these new photos on the external drive. This external drive is the source for the photos (.NEF and processed .jpg) I moved into my new WIN 10 computer with a 4 TB internal drive. When I open Lightroom and go into the library and look in the left column, the Navigator, I see that Lightroom sees all my photo files from 2003 through August 2109 as under the internal D drive, and under the external E drive it sees September 2019 through the present. So I think my .lrcat file is set up to find files in two locations. However since all photo files were transferred to the E (external) drive, that is what I used to put the photos on the new computer. My understanding of the Lightroom Queen's transfer instructions are that the .lrcat file should reflect just one drive. Do you see my problem? I can't put all the new files back on my 2 tb internal drive without filling it up. Therefore it appears I need to tell Lightroom to look for the 2003 - 8/2019 files on the external E: drive. What is the best way to do this? I am hoping there is a way to tell Lightroom using folders rather than individual files. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Should I ask this question on the Lightroom Queen website?

My Lightroom 6/Lightroom Classic is on a computer running Windows 8. I had a standalone Lightroom 6 license but recently purchased a Creative Cloud subscription since I wanted to update Lightroom and install Photoshop. However I cannot install Photoshop on a computer running Windows 8. So I bought a new Dell PC running Windows 10. I am using Creative Cloud now since I want to also use Photoshop. I installed Creative Cloud on my new computer. My photos from the old computer were on an external drive so I hooked that up to the new computer and moved the photos to the :D drive (4 Tb). When I opened Lightroom on the new computer it told me that my .lrcat file was stored in C:\users\Steve\OneDrive\Pictures\Lightroom.
I thought those .lrcat files should be stored on C:\users\Steve\Pictures\Lightroom.
I copied my old .lrcat files to a thumb drive and moved them to the same location where my new .lrcat file lives. Where do I go from here to get photos recognized by the old .lrcat file? I did some search here and researched the links I found. In previous discussions in 2013 several links to this topic were posted, but the answers given by the online experts don't address my exact situation. Is there anyone I can reach out about this problem? I can continue to process my old photos on the old computer, but I don't want to do that indefinitely since it is starting to have problems.

Very nice set. Near Wrangell is one of the famous mineral locations of the world, Garnet Ledge. They have been mining Almandine garnets there since the 1880s! The new Mineralogical Record has an article on it.

I like the leading lines in the first two photos. Great landscape shots in difficult lighting conditions.

Great set of photos. Reminds me of ones I took in the Kananaskis in Alberta back in 1999. I'll have to dig those slides out and look at them again

You have to hit Add Attachment after you have selected your photo.

We made a two week plus trip from Texas to central Colorado, specifically the Eagle River valley to see family. Fall came a little early this year and while we were there the aspens started turning gold in the steep hillsides leading back towards the towering northern reaches of the Sawatch Range. I have just started processing the 100s of images I brought back, but decided to post a few from a trip up West Lake Creek Rd in Edwards, CO. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. These were minimally processed in Lightroom.

Thanks I will try that!

Texas is known for it's spring wildflower season which travels from South Texas to North Texas throughout March and April. This year the blooms have been above average, despite the warmer than usual winter and lack of rainfall. Due to restrictions on travel I have only been able to get out twice to photograph the blooms and only at mid-day as opposed to the preferred "golden hour" times. I use a Nikon D7200 with a Tokina 12-28 f4 wide angle zoom. I set the camera on manual and the meter to spot metering, and try to keep the sky from blowing out. Processing is done in Lightroom 6 on the .NEF Nikon RAW files. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could make these better images, please comment.
These photos are from Fayette County, Waller County and Grimes County in Texas.

I was at Enchanted Rock near Llano, TX last weekend for a wedding, and we had the opportunity to hike some trails after the service and lunch. Got off the trail as the light began to fail, then ran back up the trail when the sun came back out just before sunset. Here are some of the photos I got, handheld with a D7200 with Tokina 12-28mm wide angle F4 zoom lens, of Turkey Peak, a granite knob north of the main rock and a favorite climbing spot.
