Thanks! Hope it was helpful!

I really like that tip on how to stand, I think I might subconsciously do a variation of that sometimes. Good tip! A monopod can be a nice compromise as well! A little bit of extra stability without lugging around a full tripod into the field everytime. Thanks for watching!

Definitely a lot of work! Tricky to balance vlogging with the photography aspect of things.

It took me awhile to “see scenes” with the longer lenses, but I’ve really come to enjoy the longer focal lengths. A 70-200 is a great way to start!

Thank you - glad it was helpful! I have several videos on different types and brands of filters. I've been using the MAVEN filters most recently, but there of course lots of brands out there. Some of those videos might be helpful as well. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Oh wow! Those sound like some crazy conditions! Bracing against something sturdy can definitely help! But hurricane force winds are a different story! Glad you made it home safe!

Glad it was helpful! Tone curves can be super powerful. If you want an in-depth, and well explained tone curve video, check out my friend and fellow RUclipsr Michael Rung's Tone Curve video. One of the better ones I've seen! ruclips.net/video/-5PFtuiaamw/видео.htmlsi=SUg53IdlVstS-EfU

To get to paste it is a press and hold, so in that empty folder, press and hold inside of the folder and you should get a context menu that pops up that will let you choose Paste. Hope that helps!

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography thank you so much! I am leaving Tuesday for Tanzania, and am madly trying to figure out how to accomplish all this stuff I should have started a month ago. Your video is wonderful, and I’ll practice the next couple days. Thanks so much ~ Jill

@@HollyInAZ No problem! Have a great trip!

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography thank you! Can’t wait!

Ha! Yeah - I'm not sure why I've enjoyed that waterfall so much or felt like I have a few good pictures of it!! I'm normally the one that struggles with a decent composition endlessly! We did make it our first stop and luckily had it to ourselves for probably 45 minutes or so before the first people arrived (and promptly went down to play under the waterfall...) I definitely have more to explore in that area, I welcomed being able to spend a full weekend instead of passing through with only a few hours like I have on my previous times through. I need to work more on finding the vistas! We did Baughman Rock Overlook last year, it was okay - I probably needed better conditions to really make it sing though.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful! These days Lightroom is pretty powerful for photo editing. I find myself going into Photoshop less often than I used to!

Oh! I didn't know that - haven't tried out a Z8 yet. I agree - that would be annoying.

The bag itself (the X50) is a great bag, pretty much my standard carry for regional trips or when there is not going to be a flight involved. The Explore 35L is bag I carry for flying and it really is a pretty great size for that. Even with my video and audio gear, I can still fit everything I want/need to take. If I was to only have one bag, I feel like the 40L is the sweet spot. Small enough to fly with, but big enough for those cold weather days where you might want extra layers to either put on or store when you shed layers. Happy to answer any other questions - I don't think you can go too far wrong with either of the choices you are looking at.

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotographythank you for the quick reply! Also, love your recent videos from Hocking Hills and the Columbus area Metropark testing the 28-400mm lens. My wife has been asking about a little more reach over the Tamron 70-300 without using my 180-600mm lens (way too cumbersome for her liking).

@@timothymcdaniel7372 Glad you've liked the 28-400mm videos! It is a pretty great all-around, versatile lens. I just took it (and my 14-30mm) on an Arizona trip back in June. I had the Tamron 70-300mm and ended up selling it, the 28-400mm with its VR felt like a better all-around lens, with the bonus of some extra reach. It does hit that f/8 mark pretty quick, but for landscape photography I don't find that very problematic.

I do it with the lens detached when updating camera body firmware.

Glad you liked the video! And I agree, I think there is a lot to be learned from the "bad photos" if one takes the time to think about the bad ones, why is it bad, what didn't work, etc - all things you can change or look at differently in the field. I've had my tastes shift overtime as well. Another reason I hate to say there is a one true way, and more what is working now or what are my thought now! Thanks for watching!

Yes - the static brush is reusable. You can use the blower after you clean it to also get any small dust particles off the brush.

I try to avoid any “one true way” approach to photography, it is such a creative endeavor that I feel like people should be free to explore and not be stuck with some sort of rules. I of course am happy to share my opinion on things, but not approach it as if my way is the right way, it is just one viewpoint. I agree that small details can be quite interesting! It has taken me quite sometime to start seeing them and even now, it takes some concentration and deliberate approach to find them! Can’t believe it took me so long to visit the other side of the river! Definitely my favorite side now! Thanks for watching!

It works out pretty well!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I am glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, you should definitely visit Ohiopyle! I’ve enjoyed each of my visits there and was glad I got to spend a little more time there on this most recent trip!

Thank you! I was quite pleased with several of those images towards the end - which if funny, since I was there for the big waterfall, but was happier with the smaller scenes! And yes, I did get a new tattoo, it is still in progress and has another session left on it, but she made a lot of progress on first session. It is a raven landing on a pile of old books - sort of a pictorial representation of my kids!

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video! I haven't been to the Northern Virginia area much, but I do spend a good chunk of time in West Virginia near the Davis and Thomas area! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I am glad you liked the video - I haven't done many videos of this type, talking through my why I choose one photo versus another, but it was fun! And glad it was helpful! I think what really made the difference on that image around 17:10 was that with the first composition it left a viewer wondering was including that rock at the bottom intentional or could I just not find a composition that didn't include it. Whereas that next one it was much more obvious I wanted to the rock in the composition, so the tension around that went away. Thanks for watching and the comment!

I have become a big fan of the 100-400mm! It took me a bit of using it over and over to start to see that way, but it has become a key lens for me!

Thank you! I love my 4Runner and the setup has come a long way - quite comfy and convenient these days! And way better than that Ford Edge I made my home in in Death Valley! :D

My on the road setup for photo backups is usually an iPad Pro connected to an USB-C Hub and then card readers and external SSD drive. That hasn't seemed to kill the battery, but I'm usually making the backups and then disconnecting the hub, readers, and such. Backups for me usually include still images and video from multiple cameras. Not sure that helps! But happy to answer more questions!

My camping setup in my younger days was *way* more simple! It is almost embarrassing how much stuff I have with me now! Starting to sleep in the car was a big difference, pretty predictable environment there which helps a lot. And that Exped MegaMat as a sleeping pad is very comfortable. It is too big to hike with, but great for car camping - either in the car or in a tent at a car camping site.

Glad it was helpful! All my weight goes on the roof back, which puts the weight on the more structural part of the car roof. If I stand on just one of the cross rails of the roof rack, they are just a little flexy - I think they are only rated to 150lbs. But with the adapt plate I have up there at the rear cornder, my thought is that distributes the weight across two rails, helping me feel more safe up there. So anytime I go up their to stand, I always go from the ladder to the adapt plate - the setup seems pretty solid so far.

Ooops - Almost forgot the temperature question. For fall and winter the window shades help keep things a little warmer by adding some insulating properties to the windows. And then I switch to a sleeping bag for colder weather, and still bring the sleeping quilt with me for extra warmth. It never gets too bad in there - though the coldest temps I've been in there were probably in the mid to upper 20's?

Thanks Jared! There always seems to be lots of questions on setups and always a lot to learn from other folks to see how they do things! The setup works out pretty well! Ha! I have a magnetic ladder in the glove box! I should have put it on for this video!

Dropbox is such a great tool!

I took a couple of pictures this morning - this is of my X50, from the top, with the rolltop unrolled. One image has a 30oz HydroFlask standing up in it for context, and the bag as the large core unit in it. Here's a Google Drive link with the two images: drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1CUyFQjvhRZMvr4xApAk65H_uKJo-O970 I tend to use the 35L with the Medium DSLR core unit and find that a really good fit. I feel more constrained if I use the large core unit in that bag. Though I have not used the X40 bag, I feel like it might be the perfect bag size, just a touch bigger than the 35L without becoming troublesome when flying, and not quite as big as the X50 (which feels like a big bag to me). But I haven't had a chance to use one to say that with 100% confidence. Happy to answer any questions!

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography Thanks! I appreciate that!

Glad it was helpful! I must say, the last trip out was pretty comfortable - felt like I had everything I needed and was quite comfortable!

Oh! Not sure I would be a good one for that! I predominantly do landscape photography these days and am unfamiliar with the nuances of jewelry post-processing!

You are welcome! Glad it helped!

Thanks! Yeah - some vehicles are easier than others to sleep in. The 4Runner for me is more comfy with that one seat bottom removed, though even with it in, I can sort of fit in there. If the vehicle is a little short, a good tent can go a long way as well!

Thanks Darren! Flexibility is really the key thing - no matter which route someone goes!

If you photograph mainly birds and wildlife, you might want to consider the new Z6III, it has less resolution than the Z7II, but it has a better autofocus system for the faster moving subjects (birds and such). I love my Z7II still, but Nikon has been making some big autofocus improvements for people that photograph wildlife. Hope that helps!

Yep - that's why I put chapters in the video for people that prefer not to watch the commentary and skip straight to the tips. Tip 1 through 5 each get their own chapter, making it easy to view each of them or skip ahead to the next.

Yep! Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills! One of my favorites in the park!

Glad it was helpful!

I don’t believe it does. Freewell does not mention being compatible with XQD cards.

Ha! That sounds about right!

It is not removable - I *almost* mentioned that in my review - as I do like removable cables as well. But I think they did it that way intentionally to keep the space usage reduced and still always have the cable with you since it is attached. I hear you though!

Thank you very much!

@@timroach5898 That would be even better! That is a great suggestion!

Glad it helped!
