It is fortunate that people took pictures back in the days and actually had them printed (even tho they didn't know how long they would last). One wonders what will become of todays photos taken digitally and never printed out on archival papers.

I don't have experience with the bamboo either - but recently updated from an old Wacom Bronze tablet to an Intuos Photo. I really like the newer one with its "touch" and pen and how you can preset 4 keys for shortcuts. I went with the smaller size as i sit back in my chair and hold onto with one hand while adjusting photos in PSE and in On1 Photo Raw 2018. ~bruce.

Yes - that always is a problem. I usually have an f-stop of 8 or 11 and get it set up and focused on where I am going to stand and then hand it over. Most times it works out fine. The one really bad time when a person that offered to take the photo had parkinsons which I didn't realize until I had handed over the camera to him. Luckily another person saw the situation and offered to take a second.

bailey - I have been using back button focusing for over 4 years and will never go back. You can also hold the BBF while panning to keep the subject in focus - whether in same line, or moving away or towards you. And being able to just hold the button in rather then 1/2 way on the shutter release is so much easier. It can be hard for some to change directions on how to focus using a different button on the camera - but it just makes so much sense. ~bruce.

One of the best videos I've seen explaining both how to figure out Hyperfocal Distance and using Back Button Focusing. It is by Dave Morrow youtu.be/vQDhOWcy6f0?list=UUenJzYxc4NS2RJ5jz13IoWQsorry if this has been posted before. ~bruce. ps - start at 1:03 for the actual start of the tutorial

Pat - I've had one card fail me (I don't remember what brand). I was fortunate that my camera said it couldn't save to it via error notification. Also fortunate in that my camera (Nikon D7100) has two slots and it switched to the 2nd card. This failure and yours fills the prophecy - "It's not if a drive (even flash cards) will fail - but when!" This applies to all makes and brands. I used a recovery program that was able to go in and find the photos and save the photos from the bad card.
Frank - I never hear about limiting the images - but it makes sense. Even with hard drives - they say to NOT to fill it all the way up. I guess it's like everyone (and everything) needs some breathing room.

For my 2 cents - my travel lens is a Nikon 18-300. Wide enough for the expansive landscapes (and stitching panos) and then for close-ups of those far away animals and everything in between. It is a heavier lens but I also don't have to carry other lenses with me - one set of screw-on filters (ND and polarizer) and definitely don't have to worry about dust/water getting into the camera when changing lenses. (It was a lifesaver when in Iceland on one no good very bad weather day really wouldn't allow for any lens changes). ~bruce.

Did you try a 3 stop on the whole photo?

I prefer the auto version one as well - mainly due to the drama that comes out of the clouds - more pronounced.
