Hi
I used your RAW file and did what I "normally" do in LR and a sky replacement in PS. After, back in LR, did a version in B&W. Both with slight vignette to keep focus on the back of the water.
Cheers... and nice shot by the way!

I currently have a rider for my photo equipment and computers through State Farm but found out about Hiscox as a good alternative.

This is Google's answer to NIK. It works great.


The only drawback is you can't save a file with the layer structure... in case you want to go back and make additional changes. But great tool for quick edits!

... I wish I could do it that from my "real" camera.


You can! I picked this up a few months ago so that while I was on a trip in Israel I could copy my camera files to my phone and then upload to cloud storage. I wanted a daily backup in case of fail... or stolen camera!!

I upgraded my phone to an S23 Ultra and my Creative Cloud package includes LR and PS Express for Android. Right now I'm not doing anything serious other than a few experimental edits and then move the RAW files to PC and compare. So far it looks like it does an ok job. LR for Android doesn't have the camera/ lens corrections for the phone... yet, but the PC version does.

I used a D7200 with a 10-20 lens and every shot was 3 image exposure bracket (0, +2, -2).

I will also take my ND filter, my polarizer filter and maybe a monopod. I shoot with a Nikon z6. The lenses have flexibility for low light, they are light and my crop tool works well.


Thanks for the reminder about filters! I'll have to make sure I have all the correct sizes. I'm considering taking my travel tripod (Vanguard 265AB) since it has a hand grip on one leg and can be used as a walking stick. But it's not as light as I would like
I was thinking tripod for group shots where I could jump in the picture... and for any long exposure shots. For those of you who have been there, are there places where a long exposure would make sense?

I sometimes think this reoccurring post is made just to brag about how many lenses the poster owns



Maybe if I had 2 or 3 times that many lenses... and a Z9 to go with them!!!

I really appreciate those who have traveled to Israel and gave suggestions. So far my thinking as been the:
10-20 for landscape shots
35mm for interior low light (50mm instead??) and the
18-400 for walk around where I have no idea what to expect!
This is a "study" tour but I am hoping to capture enough images to help my aging brain remember what went with the various topics at each site. (FYI... https://gtitours.org)
I will, eventually, post pics on my website... probably after the holidays!

Todah Rabah!

Thanks for the input. I may swap out the 35 for the 50. I'll do some testing to see which does better in low light at various aperture settings.

... You need to shower after getting into the Dead Sea because it is salty (I did it once). We had to change in a crowded, hot, locker room after the Dead Sea...not fun...

Our float in the Dead Sea is right outside our hotel at the end of the day... so no problem with shower and changing after.
And you're correct about cities in the U.S. that are just as sketchy...

My wife and I are going on an Israel tour Nov 28 - Dec 9 and I'm looking for recommendations for which lenses to carry. Shooting Nikon D7200 and here is the full list of lenses that I have:
1) Nikon DX VR AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 G II (Kit)
2) Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1:4-5.6 GED (Kit)
3) AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G
4) AF-S Micro NIKKOR 40 mm 1:2.8G
5) AF-P NIKKOR 10-20mm 1:4.5-5.6G
6) Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens
7) Tamron SP 85mm F/1.8 DI VC USD (F016)- NIKO
8) Tamron 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD
9) Tamron 150-600 F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2

I'm leaning to 3, 5, and 8 to keep it light (I'm definitely leaving out #9!!) but is there another I should consider? Either rent or buy (if budget allows).

I'm attaching screenshot of Itinerary if that helps.
Thanks!

Despite the chilly weather predictions, Lake Tahoe was still the place to be over the Memorial Day weekend. The sun came out and the clouds made for some dramatic views.

Bracket then keep it natural. Some pop but probably no more than I'd do with other editing.
Shot from Sedona area and Antelope Canyon. All my shots at Antelope were 3 shot brackets.
Nikon D7200 with 10-20 lens.
