I have always taken my 11-16 when on the parkway and 55-300 when walking around trails. If you can get on the parkway at night a wide angle will get some great shots of the stars and city lights below. Look for the milkyway if there at night.
12 paragraphs to get to those images? Glad I'm not paying for this information.
Your camera body will have a fine tune adjustment feature where you put of in buying it? These features can take you from good to perfect just depends on how good you want your images to be and equipment to perform.
I don't know that I wouldn't look for constant lighting for macro instead of flash. For ocf I have switched everything over to Flashpoint from adarama ad200 and ad600. I've been pleased with them.
Increase your shutter speed it's motion blur not focus
Maybe if we took the same drugs we would understand.
Why wouldn't you try to find a flattering pose for a say non flattering model?
Works great for sports. I switch back and forth all the time. Basically you are taking a 17mp image instead of a 24mp which is still usable for a sizable print.
I haven't had that problem with mine. Are you shooting to fast for the flash to recycle?
Yep but holy trinity pretty much tells everything you need to know without the "es" you old fart. You do know what an old fart is don't you? I think Roy Rogers said that too.
I went with sigma art lenses 18-35 &50-100 1.8 tack sharp on my d500.
No there are no third party batteries. You can however get used 15a batteries for dirt cheap. I recently bought two for $40.00 from adorama both showed new in camera.
I use a d500 with a 120-300 and a 1.4tc. Works great.
