Very nice set Den. Kent

Nice photos. I hope to go back there at the end of April. Kent

Not a "special" lens but special because I've used them so many times: Oldest first- EF-S 17-55 on the older Canon crops- 30D, 40D, 80D EF 24-105 f4 on 5D, 6D &  5D4. RF 24-240 on RP & R5. It won ...

Beautiful Den. When I was at Carmel and south I saw the beautiful large white flowers with the orange stem on the inside. Kent

Greg, thanks for the heads-up about a possible place to store you gear but as I've gotten older I avoid going to large cities unless I'm just flying into an airport. Too much traffic and too ...

From your post I assume that photography on the beach will not be full-time but when you can. If you're going to pack all of your gear I'd suggest something with a canvas outside and with a ...

Great photo Rick Kent

Landscaper makes a great point. For me at 82, I no longer like large cities unless I'm just flying into an airport. As a song or program from years ago said, "I like the wide open spaces!" Kent

I'd take a 70-200. Kent

No Kent

I second and 3rd considering Sony RX100Vi or VII. I'm a dyed in the wool Canon but have two of the Sony's for my wife and I to use as walkarounds. Here is a link for Sony Rx100VI photos without any ...

Thanks for asking the question. I look forward to the replies. I'm in the same boat. Kent

Photos and portable HD with all my digital photo files. I've got about 2000 prints going back to the early 1970's. I should get off my rump and make copies of the digital and I'm going to purchase ...

Den, I use a cell phone program called "Picture This". You make a photo of a plant or flower and the program names it and gives some info. It even works making a photo of the computer screen like ...

I updated both to proper time and date yesterday and made sure daylight saving was on and New York (Atlanta for me) was set. The R5 did not adjust (change) and the R7 jumped two hours forward ...

Great photo! My "Picture This" software says it's Oxalis pes-caprae as was mentioned. Actually Burmuda buttercup, a species of Wood sorrels. Kent

I've had a Feisol tripod for quite some time. It's lightweight and I think I put a Gitzo head on it. https://www.feisol.com/0823product.html Kent

Mike, that's a great idea assuming the inter elements of the lens don't also fog. I can't remember. It was several years ago and a pain in the rear.. Kent

We've been to several of the Islands over the years and I think 24-105 mm FF equiv. will be your most used. Take a polarizer. On a couple of trips the lens fogged up after leaving our AC ...

Very nice photo. Where is this? Kent
