Getting ready for a road trip to Las Vegas then back through Death Valley with my son to play with the cameras. It's funny to think that it has taken longer to pack my camera equipment than my suit case and that the camera equipment takes two bags and the clothes only a duffle bag. Hoping for some great weather for the trip to allow for some photos that really show off the area. Traveling with my Nikon D810 and about 9 lenses. Rented a 24mm PC lens for this trip to see if it is something I want to add to my collection. Will post pictures if I get anything good worth sharing

Sounds like an awesome trip! The D810 is an amazing camera. Can't wait to see your photos! Safe travels! Edited by SGTSmeg

Hello, I love taking photos too! Bought myself a decent camera a couple of years ago, but I'm still a noob at getting the settings right. Some of my better pics:56e1c260e5895_73.jpg

Is this actually a vacated hornets nest that the bird has decided to nest in?   Very interesting!

it is. I did a double-take when I realized that it had been converted into a bird's nest.

First quick test shot of my new lens: a Sigma 150-600mm. It is large and can tire the arm when hand-held for a while. The forum degrades images, so it looks "softer" than the original, but I must say I am pleased with the detail that this lens can capture. My ISO was just a bit too high at 1000.
