Here is my favorite for the month. My first Bald Eagle shot, where the raptor is clearly, and easily identifiable as a Bald Eagle. The second photo is to give a little perspective of where I was in relation to where he was. :D

Great Lakes Freighter, Ashtabula Harbor Light, Ashtabula, Ohio. The vessel is American Steamship Company's M/V H. Lee White.

Took a few photos in Western Lucas County, Ohio. Thought some might enjoy them.

I took these pictures this afternoon. Noticed that the cranes look blurred when zoomed out, but seem to be okay when zoomed in. I was probably a 1/4 mile from the building site when I took the pictures, was just wondering if the blurring was the limit of the sensor, or something else. In case...

I'm using both programs, one on a Lenovo Flex 3 notebook running Win 10, and the other on an Acer Iconia tablet running Android. In both programs, the Live View is noisy. It would remind you of an analog television broadcast that was weak, or not quite tuned in, and you could see the raster...

Well, I hope this one will fit in, here. At one time, these rails would have been packed to the switches with cars full of coal, ore, and whatever happened to be coming into the International Docks. Still an active yard, but definitely a shell of it's former self, it serves Great Lakes...

USCG Alder (WLB-216), a buoy tender on the Great Lakes:

Well, last weekend I joined the Tamzooka club. I took it for a spin over the weekend, but it was tonight that the weather conditions were favorable enough for me to try and pull this one off. This light is located about 7 miles from where I took the photo, and the haze over the water tonight...

Looking for the following: Purchased! Lens hood for the Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DG OS Macro lens. Lumisphere and Lumidisc for the Sekonic L-318 lightmeter. I have the Lumigrid. The case would be a plus, too. Thanks, appreciate folks looking through their odds-n-ends! Tom

I've noticed some spots in photos taken with my D700. Originally, I saw dust in small-aperture shots, so I cleaned lenses, filters, and blew off the sensor with a squeeze bulb. Much improved, but it was mostly on the camera side. Lately, I've noticed small spotting, and in some occasions...

Okay, a little patience, a little better light, and I have the picture I was looking for in my minds eye. With the exception of leveling and cropping, these are SOOC .NEF conversions. City where I live, part deux! A little more sky...

Okay, I'm looking into a wireless remote shutter setup for my D700 (and probably will pick up the matching cable for my D3200). I'm looking at the Vello Shutterboss, and the Neweer NW-870DC0. Both seem to have similar feature sets, both use the same batteries (AAA and CR-2), and I imagine both...

Just spent a little bit of time tonight doing just this, since you asked. The original photo was shot with my D3200 in Oct of 2013, at Red Rock Canyon. I developed this picture straight from the .NEF file. Next, I followed Bob's advice, and made additional "exposures" of the RAW file in...

City Where I live: Check! This photo didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to, but it actually has an aesthetic that I feel applies to my hometown. Here is Toledo- Nitty Gritty Industrial City!

After purchasing my new-to-me D700, the 32g card I had picked up at the same time wouldn't be recognized by the camera. Worked fine in a reader, software and firmware revisions are the latest that Nikon offers (upgraded them myself), camera just didn't like that card. While searching around...
