  1. <p>I have an intermittant problem with my D2X...it usually works fine (over 40,000 actuations) but sometimes after an exposure the image will not show up on the monitor on the camera...also if I push the menu button, the screen will come up blank. When this happens, the exposure counter will change from REM to C- REM...this happens regardless of if I am taking a single landscape exposure or a motor drive sequence filling up the buffer.The images are recorded onto the CF card but they do not show up on the screen.If I shut down the camera for a few minutes it will usually come back...I have tried swapping batteries and CF cards but that has no effect.</p>
  2. I have noticed that a certain members photos are featured regularly in the

    "Daily sampling of our members work" section of the PN homepage while the

    majority of members are never featured.I'm referring specifically to Hector

    Brandan's Hummingbird pics.His work has been featured at least 10 times in the

    past month(including 2 pics in the same day about a week ago).True,his photos

    are very nice,but I don't believe they warrant such exposure while thousands of

    other equally worthy pics are never featured.

  3. I agree about Fern Cyn. Also,if your lucky there might be a small herd of male Roosevelt Elk in the meadows just before Fern Cyn near the coast.Be aware of Mountain Lions...a man was attacked and killed earlier this year...dont let the kids wander.Enjoy...it's a beautiful park.
  4. I love my 70-200 VR...I also have the TC-17 Converter...they work very well together. The

    Bokeh is superb. Last week I shot a Coyote in Death Valley in a steady 40MPH wind

    handheld at 1/160 at the pics were tack sharp.

  5. I would also go in March. I went twice in the last 3 weeks,and there were hardly any

    wildflowers (you should have gone in 2005).The best places to stay are in Beatty and

    Parumph,NV. You can get a room at the Stagecoach Inn in Beatty for about $53.00 and its

    only about a 45 min drive to Furnace Creek.If you stay in Beatty,check out the Ghost Town

    of Rhyolite (10 min from Beatty).Theres no lodging in Panamint Valley that I know of but

    there is an interesting ghost town there (Ballarat-If you go to Ballarat check out the old

    green Dodge pickup...it was left there by the Manson Family) Be prepared for windy days in

    the spring.I recommend going to Stovepipe Wells Dunes,Mosaic Cyn,Golden

    Cyn,Badwater,Devils Golf Course,Ubehebe Crater,Zabriskie Point,and Dantes View.(they are

    all accessible by 2WD cars.) Enjoy!!!
