I tried what is a common technique for me: in Photoshop Elements (version 13 if it matters), I used the "lighten shadows" option, and then used the standard brightness and contrast tool to ...

The high volume of tourism to Las Vegas means there are lots of flights to choose from, and prices are generally pretty competitive because so many airlines fly here (I live in Vegas). Hotels are ...

I've been to Yellowstone a dozen times, but only once in winter (so far). For all those trips, the only place I've seen wolves is the Lamar Valley. To spend winter days in the Lamar Valley, you'll ...

And all these years I thought BIF meant "birds in flight" - silly me. I miss the opportunities to photograph them - the Monarchs' travel agent apparently doesn't route them through Las Vegas, and ...

What The_WB said. And I'll add a link for Red Rock: https://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/ Scroll down the home page of the website and you'll find a link to a map showing the main road and the trails. ...

If the SW is in your plans, flying into and out of Las Vegas is convenient to a SW itinerary. Because of the high volume of tourist traffic, there are lots of flights in and out, making it easy to ...

As others have said, the image quality you can expect using a 70-300 plus teleconverter will be disappointing. I think you'd get as good a final image by cropping a 300 mm image without the ...

I had the Tamron 200-500, but not the Sigma 150-600. However, based on my experience, I think at the very least you'll find the autofocus significantly faster and more accurate. I sold mine not to ...

Not just no, but hell no. But that's just me. Even disregarding my loss of dexterity to arthritis, I've only taken apart things when I knew what to expect inside, and knew how to get replacement ...

I moved from DX to a D610 and have been quite happy. I can't speak about whether a D800-series would be better, but I know that a D610 won't prevent you from getting good shots. I suggest you try ...

To a large degree, it depends on what you are shooting. I use a 28 and 50 for landscapes and (all too infrequently) chasing my granddaughter, and the green focus confirmation light in the ...

RSColo has provided the best advice - be flexible. You'll find lots of people who are confident they can tell when the peak color will happen (because the weather has been warm, or been cold, or ...

Ouch. But good to know about it - thanks.

When a camera body (in my case, a D610) is connected via a USB cable to a computer, does the battery in the camera charge?  Nikon's D610 manual is silent on the subject.

I suggest using your D5300 with a 35 and/or 50 for ground shots, people, etc. Then I'd use the D750 and 70-200 for in-air shots. Use high shutter speeds. Panning with a slow shutter to get a sharp ...

If your plans aren't set in concrete yet, try to attend on weekdays. Getting in and out on a weekend was described to us an unpleasant experience. Trying to enter in your personal vehicle requires ...

These are rather different cameras - different size and different layout of controls. Both can do what you want. I suggest you find a store where you can literally get your hands on each one. The ...

The Z6 or Z7 will not run at its max frame rate with continuous autofocus and continuous metering. The focus achieved at the first frame and the meter settings the camera sets remain constant and ...

Tourism from everywhere on the planet has skyrocketed in the past few decades. Every park superintendent in the US will agree that the parks are being loved to death. There's a movement in ...

I think Rick Steves' book is your best resource for this question. It describes what you can expect to see in the park and during a day's drive around the peninsula. That's what you need to know ...
