I had to research these a bit. Taken in Poland maybe?

Wow, that green guy is amazing! A very cool shot. (y)

My first DSLR is still my current DSLR, a 13 year old D5100 now with 25,100 shutter actuations. Shot with a mixture of film cameras for 35 years prior. If I can offer a snippet of advice @Sidewinder 1957, find a quiet spot outdoors to learn about and experiment with your new D7500. Bring your...

Your holder is yielding some great results! You have some nice shots. With thousands of slides to scan, I bought an Epson V-800 about five years ago and am generally pleased with it, but dark slides often scan blurry. I was talking to a photograper/author and he said scanning can sometimes be...

Three random shots from yesterday in the South Carolina upstate, a CSX train at Taylors and two Norfolk Southern trains, one at Taylors and the other at Wellford. [D5100]

I like your capture of that bird's purposeful look. Out of curiosity, I researched it and am guessing it's a White Ibis. If so, I read that they use that long bill to probe for food in shallow water.

Thank you. You'll come upon one eventually. It happened to me at Taylors, SC when the Illinois Terminal unit unexpectedly appeared. [D5100]

Your work is always so beautiful @Woodyg3. Those hummingbird captures are truly extraordinary.

Working at Monetta SC, 07/27/2024. The 8009 is packing 4400 HP. [D5100]

There's the Heritage Units website which can be helpful and social media too. Catching these can be quite a challenge because they most often circulate just like any other locomotive without special recognition and they may not be leading the train they're on. Then too, it may be dark when...

Some 12 years ago, Norfolk Southern decided to celebrate its 30th Anniversary by painting twenty new locomotives in historic paint schemes that replicated the many old railroads which comprise the modern Norfolk Southern. Last week I caught up with their Jersey Central locomotive, painted in...

Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk? [D5100]

Hmm, maybe an old Aurora HO slot car set?

The suggestion should work. The D5100 (which I use) definitely offers a screen brightness adjustment and Ken Rockwell's D5000 website User's Guide confirms it for the D5000. For the adjustment to take effect you must remember to hit OK after making the change. If you lack an owner's manual...

:D 😊! True that.

Nice shots @Needa! (y) Love the trains and the waterfront apartment buildings, which I find pretty amazing.

No way. One of my brothers was a camera repair tech for Minolta long ago. He had a knack for it and did excellent work. Looking over his shoulder as he worked, I was amazed at the tiny parts he was able to handle with such ease.

I don't know anything about Iguanas, so read up to find that they're not native to Florida and are an expanding nuisance.

I love the light in this picture. (y) Nice work @Needa.
