Why not dust off your camera and start shooting? I would love to see your photos.

Ah, thank you! My old film Nikons seized up about 20 years ago. My digital did the same about 7 years ago. I'm picky. I'll need $2-3K to get what I'd want and a phone camera just will not do. The best are too slow and no control and no RAW. Sigh... LOL! One day!

My iPhone 15 Pro shoots RAW and the editing tools are astounding.

You can export the images into Lightroom too.

I thought I could attach an old photo here but seems that can't be done in the comments.

Hi @LausanneDavisCarpenter,

I recently purchased a LUMIX S5iix which is light and shoots RAW as well as video. I can also use my Leica lenses as Panasonic is a member of the L-Mount Alliance with includes Leica, Panasonic and Sigma, DJI and BlackMagic.

I bought it a B&H in New York City. It was may first time there and it is a very impressive place.

I suggest giving it a try. It is fun and really makes the photos "pop".

Hi David,

I suggest you watch some YouTube videos showing the new HDR editing options in Lightroom Classic. These AI-based editing tools are amazing.

Larry, I had no idea that this cold be done (and so simply) in Lightroom Classic. HDR is not something that I have much use for in my line of work, but I have been curious about what possibilities may reveal themselves with some experimentation. Thanks for this!
