(4,588 posts)I am in awe of what has been posted so far. This is a great theme because it got me to try HDR. I've been out a few times shooting and quickly learned you really do need a tripod, especially when your camera doesn't do auto-bracketing. So I buy a nice tripod that I can take hiking. Yesterday I am out, got lots of shots, and on my return was about 10 feet from the road and safety. There was one small ledge above a pool of water to negotiate. Can you guess what happened?
My foot went in the wrong place, I lost my balance and tumbled into the pool of water, submerging me, my phone and of course the camera. The camera and phone are in bags of rice but I am not hopeful and already feel lonely without a DSLR. Happily my SD card was fine. At least I was due for a new phone (contract satisfied) and I guess I am now due for a new camera.
I am looking at an upgrade from my 3100. A happy belated father's day present to me.
