For landscape, I set my Aperture and use auto ISO, generally. That said, I'm usually in a hurry, shooting handheld and just trying to grab a shot while I can. If I had more time to set up a tripod and the whole deal, I would do so and likely shoot everything on manual. For birds in motion, I tend to...

I can take a selfie in the dress in the morning, I've got to wear it tomorrow for a wedding. Oh yes please! I would love to see a photo. The one I'm looking at is the v neck wrap with the high low skirt. I was thinking of doing the high low skirt since I was wanting to wear some lower thigh high bo...

No wedding colors! If you wanted to you could rent something from Rent the Runway or have a custom made from Eshakati, both would run you under $100 and I dearly love my Eshakati dresses. Try Eshakati. I'm really short waisted, large chested, and huge ass - they make dresses to fit me WITH POCKETS....

Thanks guys! I'm still looking. I did find a gorgeous wrap dress, but it's DVF and probably a bit more than I want to spend..lol. The "local" Macy's (an hour away) is being closed, so I may drive down this weekend and see if I can find anything there.

The sister of the man I'm going out with (D) is getting married at the end of February and I have been invited to the wedding. D is in the wedding.

I have an older friend who I guess would be considered a baby boomer, not sure. She contracted Hep C after having foot surgery, as in, she had surgery on one foot and her bloodwork was clear, but months later when she went to have the other foot done, she had Hep C. This was many years ago. Anyway, ...

I've been following this thread and have a question for those who haul a gooseneck with a 6.5' box (instead of the 8' box) -- any problems?

Try putting vinegar in the wash with them. It's supposed to set the color and stop it from bleeding.

We run aftermarket batteries, none of which will work in the rental D500s. Which sucks! WMW, both my D750s are gray market, so no recall repairs for me.

To fix the Err, take the lens off, fire the shutter, and pop the lens back on. One of my 750s does it intermittently, one is fine. It's my body that has the issue and I always wear two bodies, so if it's happening at a bad time I just grab my secondary body. RTR - we rented a 500 and that beast ate...

RTR, when you say the battery is a '1' or a '20' what number are you looking at? Not looking forward to parking with my D750 :( With the used Tamron I got, I keep getting an ERR which is a shutter lock problem and sounds like a known "issue". I can send it back to Nikon and they'll fix it...
