These are stunning photographs! I have a 2x extender that I purchased when I went to Africa, but I really didn't use it... and you can't use auto focus with it as I recall. I shoot either a canon 90D (a 7D at the time) and my two go-to lenses are 24-70 and 70-200... but you have inspired me!

Scott Kirby has some good online stuff. Might be more geared to software, haven’t been on the site for a long time.
Do you mean Scott Kelby? Or is my memory drifting away again?

I have read this amazing book and been inspired by all of those people that contributed photos and stories while they were locked in their homes due to Covid. I would recommend giving it to her as a get well gift.
I can't wait to get this book! Thank you ~!!

Hi All
My cousin is recuperating from a hiking fall and has to be immobile for 6 weeks. Her next safer hobby will be photography. Can you suggest a photography book to learn from and inspire her in her new adventure?

I had another thought, something I wish I had done way back... read about the history of photography, and of course, books about particular photographers. (Must include Dorothea Lange!) She can start to find her style by getting to know their styles. But I still think the best thing is for her to learn everything about her camera, whether through books or online videos, every operational feature. Like leaning to fly a plane in a classroom before you ever take off!
Also, she can play around taking pictures of things around her room, it could be a fun project...a photo diary! And she can watch her own progress! Tough to find fun being stuck in bed for 6 weeks, but this could be it! 'An adventure in 20 Cubic Feet!

That's awful! I learned a lot from watching videos. I learn better when I watch people. Does she have a camera already?

Beautiful photos. Do you hand hold or pan a tripod?
Thanks! Hand held.

The last one is my favorite.
It was a perfect autumn day. We live near a little lake which is surrounded my trees, and as the sun comes down and the colors are all ablaze, this is what I found! I pulled my lens is as I shot! This time it worked...that's not always the case!

I rather like the collision of colors and chaos of the second, along with the strong silhouette of the sideways tree.
Thank you! It is very intense... to me too!

I will check that out! I wonder if anyone spotted the gnome in the second picture? He snuck in there when I wasn't looking! You know how those gnomes are!

Thank you so much... I haven't attempted to do multiple exposures in Photoshop..too intimidating. Besides, I like the feel of spontaneity of the process this way!

Thank you very much! It's fun, as I have always done such traditional styles in my work.
