No Stones?

I love it………so apropos!

It is amazing. Appears the root structure sought out fissures in the grout lines and penetrated the soil. Any idea what type of tree?

Thanks. Best sunset I’ve ever photographed in Kauai, and I’ve been going there for 30 years. It never disappoints.

For all responders,

I can’t thank everyone enough for their valuable input. It’s always reassuring to know there are competent and respected resources available on this site for wannabes like me.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your informed response. I am not a ‘pro’ by any stretch, and sometimes confusion reigns supreme. The photo I attached was taken at f16 1/500 sec. I noticed that both the rx100 and rx10 only go to f11. Would that be an issue with getting the same results.

I noticed some negative feedback on the battery life. Do you see that as a problem?

I don’t mean to take up too much of your time, but really appreciate your opinion.

I know that they are different cameras, but do you have a preference? I actually like the RX10 as a more robust camera.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D750, Tokina 24/70 2.8. Mostly landscape; sunsets. I really love this gear, but as I approach 80, it has become cumbersome. I would appreciate any advice regarding a transition to lighter gear; I.e. point and shoot or others that might offer a semblance of similarity and quality.
I have seen positive posts re: the Sony Rx100 vii that may be a fit, but would entertain other suggestions, including non point and shoot. Price is not a concern.

Thanks in advance.

Another interesting factoid.

We have Ray Tomlinson to thank for initiating the incredible new era of communication that we now enjoy – he sent the First email in 1971 from BBN (Bolt Beranek & Newman) Cambridge MA.

Most of the early transmissions were saved via ASR TTY printouts, and although unlikely, BBN may have archived some from that period.

Sounds like you appreciate good music. If you hadn’t heard of her before, check on YouTube. She had an amazing ability to transform music from other artists to her own style. I.e. Fields of Gold (Sting), A Beautiful World (Satchmo). A virtual unknown; she died of cancer in her early thirties.

Sarah Vaughan, extraordinary! But there is an overlooked rendition by Eva Cassidy that is hauntingly beautiful.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful response. I’m thinking my best forward progress will be trial and error with a hearty dose of error.

Happy holidays!
