I will try Nikon D 5400

lol - i know the feeling but in the end you will have a nice, clean, working machine :)

have fun - it is a great lens!:)

Good observation!:) I will leverage the extremes if needed depending on the scene, however I typically shy away from wide open on fixed lenes as I like to have a bit more focus in the overall shot:).

@RealWorld Thank you, great content btw 👌

lol - almost forgot I had this video!:) i still have mine as well and take it with me on various photo adventures.

I really like the D5600 - strong/solid choice:).

The easiest method is to remove the SD card and use a card reader attached to a desktop or laptop. This will allow you to edit if needed and upload to wherever you like (i.e. KZbin, etc.).

OUCH - curious to know the breakdown of cost (material vs labor)

I don't recall exactly but I bought the valve directly from the shop and had the technicians install it. Most valves are less than $100, and I do not recall labor although I suspect less than $200/$250 (this was a 30 min job for them (definitely less than an hour)). I respect technicians and labor cost along with fair labor rates, however I am not a fan of price gouging. It is important to note how I sourced this job. I bought the valve and sourced the labor separately using a smaller shop (licensed, insured, and qualified technicians but not associated with a large company). This will save money in the end.

Glad to be of help and welcome back to the great world of photography!:)

Nice and glad to be of help!:) Whenever I see a full moon, I think about the P1000 - it's a great camera with an awesome zoom capability!:)

Thanks for the post/comment:). I leveraged color isolation in Lightroom (a great technique). I have a video of how I isolate colors using Lightroom which can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpaQmZmFnNSAh68

Glad to be of help and really enjoy the D500 as well! :)

lol - agree with the selfie video as well!:) in addition, i have used various full frame cameras with heavy lenes. when moving from a full frame body with a heavy lens to a crop body with a light lens, wow - it is refreshing!:)

lol - thank you for the feedback!:)

Ahhhh nice and thank you for the post!:) Hopefully, this video brought you calming spirits:).

Thanks for the post/feedback - lots of fun!:)

Not certain if you already made the decision as I am late to respond, however I would consider going with the lens which offers the widest aperture:). Does the 18-200 offer f/2.8 all the way through (meaning you can use f/2.8 as 18 and f/2.8 at 200)? If so, I might lean towards the 18-200:). The other lenses are great as well and I suspect you will not go wrong with either.

Soooo sorry to hear about your wife along with your own health struggles. I will include you in my evening prayers tonight that God may surround your with His holy angels to offer peace and guidance in this life. Hopefully, this video along with others bring you some comfort and respite from your daily journey. God speed.

lol - ahhhh, yes i took a bit of time to edit:). i didn't realize the total amount of video captured until i got back:).

Thanks for the post and glad you enjoyed it!:)

lol - been there as done that as well!:) always remember - work is not who you are, it is what you do ... life is so much more:)

thank you!:) this was a looooong video but one that covers multiple hikes throughout the Gorge. it was a fun/adventurous trip:).

thx and good to be back:). stay tuned as i have more on the way! :)

thx and great to be back!:) i plan to share more adventures and have another video on the way:).

Nice!:) This was my first trip and I suspect will not be my last. Seems like a great/safe/solid place.

Love Malaysia and thanks for the post!:)

Nice - life to too short ... enjoy the ride:).

Thanks for the post and glad you enjoyed the vid!:)

Ahhhhh yes, it is even bigger and better as they added one or two hangers since:). The number of planes and overall history of the museum is awesome:).

lol - thanks for the post and more to come as well! :)

@@RealWorld love all the content. Your video on a Nikon d3400 basically taught me how to be a photographer

Thanks for the post/feedback!:) This camera is great for moon shots and every time I see a full/bright moon, I think the same!:)

@@RealWorld Yes, it is. And great as a travel camera too.

Glad to be of help!:) The shadow grows larger because the flash sync is not able to match the shutter speed. The max sync speed for the flash is 1/250 of a second. When I set the camera to shoot at 1/250 of second, the entire image sees the flash. When I increase the shutter speed, the flash is unable to keep pace without high speed sync enabled and the image only capture 1/250 seconds worth:).

@@RealWorld aha, the HSS was off.
