    First Images With the 180-600

    Got out today with the CNPA group. There were a surprising number of eagles at Magnolia. Usually it's 1 or 2. There were 5 today and a report of around 12 last week. I had trouble with my thumb hitting the focus ring with my normal grip on the lens with my left hand. Going to have to relearn...

    First Images With the 180-600

    I can make you a good deal on a nice Nikon 200-500 with an FTZ adapter!

    First Images With the 180-600

    We are flexible with birthday/Christmas gifts. Sometimes I'll get something for my daughter several months before her birthday, and if it's either a needed item, or something she will use a lot, I'll give it to her early. This was a deal where it was going to be given something toward me buying...

    First Images With the 180-600

    I know, I was going to wait for Christmas to unwrap and use the 180-600. I was doing really well, then our nature photography club had to move the monthly outing this Saturday to Magnolia Plantation. This time of year birds are the main draw, unless they have the Model A cars this weekend. I...

    D5100 screen orientation problem.

    Did it do it after replacing the hinge?

    Mount old MF lens on Nikon d3300

    Don't forget the old F/16 rule. In bright daylight F/16 with the shutter speed of the reciprocal of the ASA (ISO in digital cameras). That means full sun daylight with F/16 and 1/100 sec at ISO 100. You can change settings as needed as long as you keep the equation balanced. As an example, raise...

    Clovis' Nikon Nuggets

    I think I like it better as well. There is something about the B&W version, though.

    Clovis' Nikon Nuggets

    Went digging around in the pile of cut fallen branches in the back yard and got these. And the B&W version.

    Post your men/ladies at work

    I spent nearly 40 years working for the Post Office. I dreaded the Christmas season every year. It's nice to be able to enjoy the season again.

    9 months with the Z8

    It's been 9 months since I, rather unexpectedly, ended up with a Z8. I thought it might be time to give an update on my experience with it. Despite having to carefully budget my hobby money for most of my life, I have been fortunate enough to have used a few exceptional cameras. My dad's Rollei...

    Woody's Hermosa Luz 2025

    Great B&W. We have neither mountains nor snow here. Well, maybe once every 10 years or so. That's for the snow, not the mountains.

    Calendar printing advice

    The Pup and I have put together a calendar featuring some of this year's work from both of us. We were thinking about printing about 10 of them for friends and family. We aren't necessarily doing this for Christmas, but more as a fun project, but would probably be looking to get them out either...
