Thank to you and everyone else for the welcome,
I am new to DSLR photography, but not to photography and was bought a Kodak Box camera at the age of 10, Later gettoing a wonderful Leica with a collapsing sort of bellow body and 90 degree viewer. It was second hand when I bought it. My first 'good' camera was called a Paulette Electric which had built-in in flash which was a lot better than light metering gadget and bulb flash. My last camera was Sony bridge camera with articulating lens which thoughts 7mp gives a very good picture and no discernible noise, and gave it to my wife. We both use Black Rapid sling straps and I use an Edelkrone Quick Release which means I can disengage from the BR sling strap to pop my Pentax K-2S onto a tripod etc within seconds, though I now use a carabinier tether to the sling as a precaution which disengages quickly. My preferred subject at the moment is water in landscapes. I hope this little intro isn't boring and thoroughly hope I will enjoy the trip and thank you for your suggestion. Regards, Joe
