Ahh Ron I thought its heavy snow in alaska kept you indoors without having a chance to take pics. BTW belated Happy New Year!🎉😅

Ron all these pics are of high quality must have taken on a quality film gear. Very precious memories.

Hi Ron, thanks for sharing these. The most important thing we can do is emulate the style of the past and get photos into albums and such to preserve our most cherished memories. If we remember our loved ones, they may be no longer here but definitely not forgotten. And we have something to share with others that loved them as we did. Nicely done Ron. My friend and I of over 40 years were just reflecting on the same thing. As soon as the weather breaks out here I will be running my glass both film and digital for sure.

DID YOU EVER REPLACE THE BATTERY, I BET IT WOULD WORK IF YOU DID?CLEAN THE BATTERY CONTACT WITH AN ERASER OR ALCOHOL. Also leaver battery in for a few days the recharge it and try it again, bet that camera will fire then

Black and white pics have so much nostalgia and character in them. Love it.

Hi Ron. Nice cap! Nothing wrong with the FZ1000, one of my favourites. Enjoyed the photos. I hope you do some more with the FZ

This is the reason i love photography. Thank you for the reminder to enjoy life to the fullest. GREAT VIDEO

Hello and good day Ron, I' am visiting your old videos to learn new stuff. I recently got my D600 and its very different to my old D200 mostly menus and features. Your videos are always inspiration and technical reference. THANK YOU

I have that ccd gold camera .. Blows my mind always..

Nicely done Ron. Another fine example of why we photograph.

Good stuff. I remember years ago wanted to buy Lumix FZ series or Fuji HS series bridge camera to start my photography journey and ended up buying an entry DSLR Nikon instead which was the right decision after all. Still like Panasonic camera brand though. Thank you for the video. 👍

Ecellent pictures Ron. You are a great photographer. I also did have the FZ 1000 and took marvellous pictures with it (better than with all the Nikon DSLR stuff). However, I my FZ 1000 got a bit slow on the zoom and I have replaced it with the Panasonic G90 with the 14-140 mm (28-300 on FF). I still have to get more in the video work.

Ron its nice result of Lumix FZ camera. I got mine FZ38 it's very handy😅

Hi Ron, thanks for the great pictures, especially the inside views of the side gunners positions , it must have been terrifying to be manning those machine guns under fire, brave guys. Your right ,Don't think you can go wrong with the Lumix cameras Hope you have many more trip were you can use it , great travel camera . Regards Ron T.

Thank you Ron for these great pictures! They show us what photography is all about (not gear etc.).

Hi Ron, I just ran thru some pics on the Smugmug page. There are some interesting pics. You look quite a Handsome Hunk in the ' Goat Rock Selfie' pic. Would love to hear some backstory on some of these images. Wishing you good health .

I just had a quick peek at your Smugmug link, and I like the pictures I saw, Ron :) I will revisit them later, when I have more time, but I'm just editing some photos from my daughters trotting school.

I just ordered this camera. Very hard to find and offer said it does not turn on but hopefully I can fix it and have some fun with it. These old digital cameras have really interesting designs and feel. Loved your video!

Great photographs

Is the Nikon D200 a full frame camera

In a newer camera the built in camera battery goes bad before the battery you put into the camera my Sony every time I put in a new battery I have to reset the time on the camera because it can’t remember it and the camera is less than ten years old 😒😒.

I own the exact same flash bracelet highly recommended but now it just feels so bulky to use but then again I’m not 28 anymore either 🤷🤷🤷.

The only time you get shamed for older gear is at the camera club 🤣🤣🤣. My finances have always dictated that my camera gear to be on the older gear but that said I only buy the best used gear things like a Nikon d300, d700 and canon 5d classic now if I could learn to hold the 5d in as high esteem as everyone else ( I hate the ergonomics 🤷😒😒).

Hey Ron , everyone especially the youngsters , want the next new camera , next new thing with fast presets , but they forgot about subject matter , they want it now and fast with actually thinking about the process , ,,,, I have a d200 and two d 800 , and I enjoy them , , it’s all you really need , get out and shoot , try different setting , enjoyed your channel ,

Hello from Texas ,

Hi Ron, wow what an amazing process. Thanks for sharing, it came out very nice. I'm thinking perhaps that was from the D200? Curious about that. I did pick up the D90 and did my first studio shoot with it, the camera did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I have no way to share with you not being on Social Medias myself. I'm probably not gonna have a go at the time lapse thing but maybe sometime, it looks really cool and beautiful. Great job Ron, and thanks again.

Hi Ron, great video once again. I work in IT so I know well the backup issue. The best choice nowadays is a traditional spin drive external. I recently was gifted a Western Digital Elements drive. It's 5 Terabytes, that should be enough for anyone. I was not keen on the Western Digital for some time due to past issues such as the famous "Click of Death", but they have come a long way and the unit is well made and very fast. Price is not that bad either. I would be surprised if you have more that 5T to store, that's an awful lot of photos .. lol

I've been looking for good hard drives to store my photos, but I'm way too paranoid. I don't want to loose any files.

Hehe this came on my feed suggestion..thanks for the upload..from Nairobi,Kenya..the land of Athletic champions😅

If Kodak would only bring back Kodachrome....but that's a pipe dream.

Thanks for the tip regarding Smugmug, Ron; never heard of the option. Hoping, myself, to settle down and get more serious about photo organization soon. Appreciate you, Buddy!

That was an interesting excursus to be honest. I've never heard of SmugMug before, it looks like some sort of a more "serious" platform than flickr. However I don't know about storing my photos online. I'm more the hard drive kinda guy as I know my files are stored right here where I live and not on somebody's server. But maybe that's just the conservative german guy inside me. Thanks for sharing this video, it's definitely worth taking a look at some online based storage options, I'd say. Keep up the work, buddy, it's excellent! And stay healthy!

Hey Ron you're the best! Keep up the good work!

A great result! Quite inspiring!

Wonderful view out your front window, Ron. Another fine print too. Always good to see how you continue to find inspiration with your photography.

Hi Ron, well you did it again ! A true display of a Master Photographer at work, and thanks for showing how the weather looks at your location. The little ones are just precious looking out the window. A wonderful display of skill and creativity and the craft of printing as well, WELL DONE !!

really amazing! I usually always use my nikon d200, but since my father passed away, I wanted to use this beautiful nikon d200, I never thought that you could get those results at high iso, really compliments, your work is really exceptional! thanks for sharing it!! 🙏🏻

Hi Ron, loved watching this video from you and happy new years to you and Mrs Ron. Your D200 intervalometer menu video genuinely made me laugh out loud and I felt your frustrations! Keep posting (but with no pressure) , people, me included, enjoy your candor and photos. Cheers~Peter 🎉

Great results! Love to see photographs being printed. Physical media is always nicer to appreciate.

Hallo Ron !😂😂😂 Recht hast du,mach einfach was du gerade Lust hast 🍻 Ich kenne das,ein ganzer Tag Hochzeitsreportage,tausende Bilder.....danach fasse ich mindestens 1 woche keine Kamera mehr an 😁😎 Alles gute weiterhin grüsse aus 🇨🇭

Love this must try it. All the best from snowy Wales UK

Brilliant photograph. Thank you for sharing. Could I ask what printer you use?

Brilliant photos!

What a great results Ron. I love your dogs, they look a bit like mine. Exceptional picture, I will try this myself.

Great pictures and interesting software.

Thanks for sharing this! Excited to try this out. Appreciate you:)

"Cut!....Interval Timer Take 26.....Roll Camera!" We've all been there Ron. 🤣 You are a genuine character who is into wonderful old gear (rather than some fake guy selling the latest expensive new thing.) You're what KZbin OUGHT to be but is mostly NOT. PS. My brother & I have a D200 and we recently bought that old 28mm f3.5 Ai (I've been using it on my Z5 recently -it's great. Personally I like your People Photography but your landscapes are great too. Go Ron!

Good to see you’re back. I always enjoy your videos. I’m also into classic cameras, so seeing what you do with them, is motivating for myself. Happy new year to you and your family (dogs included)

Ron, I would like to see more pictures of the beautiful state of Alaska, scenic, mountains, pretty much anything. This time with the D500 maybe. Thanks! Larry.

Good quality from the old d200. Northern lights special events
