Congratulations on the win @Silversnapper ! Nice picture and great thinking on your part. Even the big picture ( wash, dry, wear, wash, dry, wear, ……..) is repetition! thanks for posting! Andy

Have you tried a different card in that slot? Have you tried that card in a different camera? Is there any damage to the connector end of the card, like pieces missing? Info like that will help to diagnose the problem. Andy

Thanks, Marilynne! This old Vietnam Vet (April 68-November 69) appreciates it!👍👍😁 Andy

Look like it’s a 300 mm AF “D” type. If so, that is a “screwdriver” type of lens and needs a camera with a focus motor built into the camera body. The FTZ adapter couples the electronics between the camera body and lens, but DOES NOT couple the mechanical autofocus that the lens needs. As far as...

Thanks Marilynne! I am hoping that someone will know of a place where they nest. That should keep them there for awhile. Andy

Looking to find places in the Tampa-Clearwater-St. Pete area where I can find Roseate Spoonbills to watch and photograph. Any ideas would be very helpful. Any rookeries around that I might be able to get in to? Thanks in advance for any info that anyone can provide. Andy

Lindy, thanks for letting us know what the resolution was!👍. It might help someone else that’s having that problem in the future. Andy

For anyone interested, Google Belphegor. Andy

You might want to go to the Foolography website and have a look at the Unleashed. It’s a very small device that plugs into the 10 pin port on the D500, and besides putting the GPS coordinates on the photos, it also lets you control many camera functions from your phone. AND………besides that, it...

One other thought. Do you have a tripod that you can use? If so, mount the camera on the tripod, put the camera in ”P”rogram mode, and take some pictures using the self timer feature to minimize camera shake. We’re just trying to find out if it’s the camera/lens, or your technique that’s causing...

I went from a D70 to a D7100 to a D500, and when I got the D500, I also got A book called “Mastering the D500” by Darrell Young, and it is loaded with information and explanations. I would advise getting either that one or one that’s similar. It’s proved quite helpful to me, and I reference it...

Thanks! Andy

Live in Dunedin, and all we had was some pretty good wind and occasional downpours. The people in downtown Dunedin (near the water), however, have been left with a real mess to clean up. There are branches, palm leaves, furniture, appliances, and more, all sitting out by the street to be picked...

Hey drummer! Good for you on getting the D500, and kudos for supporting a local business. Enjoy the heck out of it, and I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed! Andy
