Good morning all. I'll start with a photo of one of the many waterfalls we saw on our trip.
The only camera I took was my Z6 with a 24-200mm zoom and my 28-300mm zoom that I used with an adapter for the Z6. I wished more than once that I had my 120-600mm with me but I thought it would be too much trouble to bring. But next trip I am going to find a way. I took it with me to Texas but i had a camera case roll aboard which made it easier. This trip I just had a smaller camera backpack.
Bonehead play of the trip - and I am kind of embarrassed to admit this. We had stopped by the roadside, lots of birds, cliffs, crashing waves, etc. I spotted a Eurasian Oyster Catcher (I'll post some photos of one later). Really close, great photo op. Then it hopped up on a rock and just stood there. Click, click, click...
I was so proud, thought I had a classic shot. Moved on, taking more photos, when I noticed an "-E-" in the lower corner of the viewfinder. Hmmm, is my memory card full? I turned the camera off and back on, still there. So I decided to take out the memory card and put it back in and NO CARD!!! I had forgotten to put the card back in the camera the night before when I downloaded all the daily images. I was so upset with my self. I had opportunities later to get more shots of the Oyster Catcher but still... Anyway I discovered a setting on the camera that will not let the camera shoot if there is no card.
