Re: Help me choose a DSLR
If it is set to Direct Mode the transfer is fast. After you take the first snapshot there is a 1 or 2 minute delay before the batch transfer begins so that if you decide to delete photo after taking it. I have laid my smartphone on the table during gatherings and let guest watch it as the photos begin to pop up on it while I walk around the room taking shots.280Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help me choose a DSLR
Panasonic makes a really good camera but that is just me. So do many other manufacturers. If you want to take it over the edge make sure to get a camera that is compatible with an Eye-Fi card. Eye-Fi It simply replaces your regular SD card and can wirelessly direct download to a computer or smartphone or upload to the web your photos in real time as you take them. This gives you almost endless photo shoots because it is only limited by the storage space on your smartphone or computer. The card can be set to automatically clear itself of photos that have been transferred, such as the oldest 200 etc. Plus there is no cables to hook up.265Views0likes0CommentsRe: prepping for 1300 mi trip
If possible leave yourself time to take your time on the road. Everyone will enjoy it better if they are not in the saddle for more than about 500 miles. Enjoy everything being on the road has to offer and make frequent pit stops, I usually fill up at every half a tank just to break up the drive and let everyone stretch their legs. Also research and have preplanned Ford dealerships along your route or another reliable repair center just in case. I read reviews for the dealerships before adding them into my GPS in case of a breakdown. I would be willing to pay a little extra for quality reliable repair work rather than just the nearest service center and flip a coin hoping not to get ripped off. Others travel with half a tank of water but I only use 5 gallons, usually the water hose on full for 1 minute will put 5 gallons in my tank. We use bottled water also and unless you will be way out in no-mans land there is always water for your tank somewhere if needed, even at some fuel stations. At 8 lbs per gallon I would rather not pull any extra weight around.437Views0likes0CommentsRe: First time travel trailer buyers - list of particulars :)
Make sure you step into a trailers and compare Garden shower vs the tub/shower combo. Then see if you can find a trailer that is comfortable for both the kids and the adults within the specs you want. I say this because kids grow quick and some adult comforts will benefit them also.372Views0likes0Comments
