FYI - Topaz Sharpen AI will do wonders to sharpen the images you describe as less sharp. I am a user and have successfully sharpened images like yours.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to go get lottery tickets. Winning is the only way I'll get to see the land of my ancestors that you photographed so beautifully.

Grizzlies (brown bears) are pretty much universally brown, with some variation in how dark the brown is. Black bears, on the other hand, can be black, brown, or even a light cinnamon color. A light ...

Funny - my first trip across a border was also into Canada, about age 10, fishing for walleyes with my Dad (and eaten up by mosquitoes). However, our trip was from Manchester, VT up US7 to ...

Like the composition and color, but I don't think Parliament leans to the left like that (political rhetoric aside).

Based on your graph, the Nikon 16-80 looks like a good choice for the majority of your shooting. I have the Nikon 16-85 lens, and while I love it and it's gives me excellent image quality, it ...

I agree with Bobthearch on this - it's your 18-300 that's holding you back. The D7200 can do everything you want. I can easily understand the convenience and versatility of the 18-300 zoom, but any ...

I appreciate the sentiment. I've been there in all seasons, although only once in summer (lesson learned). It's my favorite place.

On a winter trip to Yellowstone in 2007 (a Christmas gift from my wife), we took two snowcoach tours. On each tour, someone asked the driver/guide what would be the single best time of year to ...

The DX sensor yields an image that has to be enlarge 50% more than an FX image to reach the same viewing size as the FX image. If you have a 19 inch monitor, an FX image has to be enlarged about 32 ...
