I hope you are all stuffing yourselves and watching football! I may be working and 1500 miles from my family, which is not that bad, I could be 7500 miles away and in Baghdad (been there done that 2x), but I still have a lot to be thankful for. First and foremost I have my health. There are 6...

Working in the healthcare field you see some wondrous things but also some things that really tear at your heart. I had such a patient this evening, For reasons for which I am both professionally and legally bound I can say very little, but this particular patient is in her mid 40's and has...

I headed WNW out of Springerville into the mountains today. I got up to about 9600 feet in places. A lot of the snow is still there, even though the temperatures were hovering around 40. There are a lot of stands of Aspen up there, especially in the higher elevations. I also came upon some old...

I have always loved Yogi Berra and his hilarious Berra-isms. I found this site and thought I would share it: Yogi Berra Quotes - BrainyQuote

This is off of the front page of that D700 user's group. Look at number FOUR. Is it just me or does anyone else find that hilarious?

I drove about 50 miles to a lake to shoot some birds and whatever strolled into my field of view. I have been battling a chest cold for the last 3 days so dragging all of that gear, including the "beast" (600mm f/4) took a lot out of me. I set up the beast on the tripod and used a TC-300. Even...

It seems like a pretty decent group https://www.flickr.com/groups/nikond700/discuss/72157648833987770/

I don't think it will work on cameras like the D3 or D4 or ones with supplemental battery packs Leather Hand Strap Grip Replace Nikon AH 4 D3 D300 D700 | eBay

..........for when my wife comes here for Christmas. Assuming of course it is not impassible! It will be our first white Christmas together since 1984. The place is called the Black River and is about 25 miles away up in the higher mountains. It is really not a river now, little more than a...

An interesting site that lets you estimate your lens' age by its serial number. I really wished Nikon had adapted a system similar to that used by Hasselblad. Theirs is much more detailed and specific. I know not only year but month of manufacture of every piece of Blad equipment I own by its...

I actually turned out better with only 125 30-sec exposures than the 200 I wanted to get!

I went out and set up for a star trail photo tonight. It got cold (low 40's) and my fully charged batteries in both the body and MB-D10 only lasted through 125 frames before giving up the ghost. I was hoping to get at least 200. Not sure how well the star trails will turn out, I will not merge...

This one is a beauty and pretty young, it is probably only his second year. He was out in a field with a doe. They were maybe 25-30 yards away tops. They checked me out when I was setting up and then went back to grazing, apparently not feeling threatened at all. I actually had to clap my hands...

I went out this afternoon looking for the mulies and came upon the largest herd of mule deer I have ever seen in my entire life. There must have been at least 50 of them, from yearlings to the Alpha buck. I drove back like a bat out of hell and put on my BDU’s, grabbed the D700, tripod, 300mm...

Today was my first day off since I got here so I decided to load up the camera gear and start scoping out the place. I spotted this group of Mule Deer does and their fawns chilling out under a shade tree in the middle of a large field. I pulled the Jeep over to the roadside, grabbed the 600mm...

We are at 7000 MSL and surrounded on all 4 sides by mountains. There is a 3000' peak about 15 miles from here that is just begging to be climbed and camped on. The town is small and the nearest Walmart is 50 miles away but who cares. There is a miniature "Bass Pro Shop" right next to the...

It calculates the difference in f/ stops between two stops you enter or you can enter in one f/ and the amount in f/ stops and it will calculate the difference second one for you. F-Stop Calculator

Just playing around with PhotoMatix HDR. This chimney may not look like much but it actually as quite a history. I had to climb onto the roof of my Jeep, camera and tripod in hand, to take this image(s) and even then I still had to correct for perspective distortion. Taken with the 18mm f/3.5...

I figured I could cut 3 lenses out of my bag, 85mm f/1.4, 105mm f/1.8 and 180mm f/2.8, with this one lens. I have never been much of a zoom guy, but this last version of the 80-200mm f/4 AIS has the distinction of being probably the sharpest lens in this category that has ever made. It focuses...
