Greetings! I sold my D7200 last year because of weight issues (two shoulder and one elbow surgeries on my right side) and have been using my wife's D3100. Very pleased about 90% of the time, which is pretty good for a cranky old man. Haha! However, it seems like I have been having a problem...

Prayers for a speedy and successful recovery. As a professional musician (pianist and organist) who has had 2 elbow surgeries and 1 shoulder surgery, I can just give you the following advice: Gently move the wrist and fingers to regain motion but do not try to jump back on the horse and play...

(NOTE: I posted this over on a car forum I participate in, but was curious to see what responses I got over here) As a kid growing up in the 60s, I was witness to some of the greatest (read: "Coolest!") cars ever made. You could tell a Chevy from a Ford from a Dodge from a mile away. Imports...

Thank you @STM Very interesting. And it's within my price range. I may check it out at some point.

Thank you @hark and @Bengan. Good information. So much to learn. I'm 62 and still at "less than 1/4 tank". LOL

I am just a hobbyist photographer on a limited budget. A few years ago, I saved to buy a D-7200 as a retirement gift to myself. I love the camera, even though I'm still struggling to learn all the bells and whistles. One of my two lenses is a Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED. However, when...

That is wonderful! I started just a little before the pandemic hit (around 1962). I went on to get my Bachelor and Master of Music Degrees in piano performance and was a pianist in the US Air Force Bands for 20 years. Now I'm semi-retired and a church organist/pianist. I've also enjoyed...

I woke up this morning to a world with a big empty spot in it. I'm 62 and have had many friends throughout my life in the military and traveling the world. As we all know, most friends come and go at various times. Of the hundreds of friends I made in my life, I still hear from maybe a half...

Wow - lots of great memories there. My grandfather had a 1962 Chevy Pickup very similar to this except it was a stepside with wood floors for hauling cows to the auction. When I stayed with them in the summers, I would ride in the bed on our weekly trip into town for shopping and groceries...

As 99% of the world's population is acutely aware, COVID-19 has become the dominant force shaping our lives in the past month. TV news reports have stirred fears to the point of panic (toilet paper???!!!) and for older people who don't get out of their homes often and rely on TV/Social Media...

For fellow musicians.... (I combined an earlier one so they are both on the same post) I've played this one several times on my pianos at home and at church the past few weeks.

Here are a couple more photos from our SW trip in September. Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona AZ. Since this beautiful chapel itself has been photographed by much better photographers than me, I decided to also look around at small details that are commonly overlooked. On the walkway up to...

Here are a couple of "critter" photos from our Southwest trip in September. Prairie Dog at Caprock Canyons State Park in northern Texas. Squirrel on a 1,000+ foot ledge at Grand Canyon (South Rim - near Pima Point). Don't jump!

Due to the overwhelming response I got from the last post (LOL), I offer another: Estelline, TX. Shadow of church bell on steeple.

After a long hiatus, I'm back. My wife and I took a retirement vacation drive cross-country to the Southwest. Along the way, we took about 6,500 photos. I've gone through and picked the "least bad". There were maybe 30 or 40 that I can say I liked. I'll try to share some with you. Hope you...

This turkey was standing out in our back yard for several minutes yesterday afternoon when a young buck walked by. The two appeared to have a friendly discussion for a minute or two before the deer walked on. BTW - we live in a university town and just happen to have about 5 acres of woods...

Greetings. I posted these over on the "Feedback" thread but no action yet. Thought I would also share them here. My wife and I visited the Gettysburg Battlefield this week and I took the following photos of the 72nd PA Infantry monument at sunset. Link to more info...

Greetings. I am a hobbyist photographer and retired from the US Air Force. I bought a D7200 two years ago and am just getting it out and learning all the functions and settings. (I spent last year taking care of my mother before she passed and didn't have much time to use it.) My wife and I...
