I'm sure that some of you enter, and place in photo contests. Here is the place to brag, I mean share, about it. I'll start off. North Charleston, SC has an arts festival every year and they have competitions in various categories. I managed to win a second place in the amateur color section...

It's a good thing you were in Australia. Here in the US that would have been a whopping 9.8 feet. Hope you get back on your feet soon.

Here's another one I just edited. Probably the best of the batch.

Maybe you posted and I missed it, but what is the circumstance with the owls. You've been posting superb owl images nearly every day. This must be a nest nearby where you live.

My intent was to offer a simple, inexpensive alternative to using Snapbridge. Between my experience with it, and the issues I see brought up here quite often, it seems to be a troublesome piece of software, and a viable alternative might be handy.

Tried things out again this afternoon. Not there yet, but better. Not a great shot, but it is somewhat sharp. I raised the shutter speed from 1/3000 to 1/4000 later in the day. Same string, a better presentation of the bird. Needed a little faster shutter speed, but not too bad. Harsh light...

Well, if you use the card reader and just open the images from the external card, they are not downloaded to the tablet memory, unless you copy them. Snapbridge is not involved in this. I have browsed images from my camera's card like this without Snapbridge even loaded on the tablet.

What exposure mode are you using?

As an alternative, you can get a card reader that has a USB-C connection, or whatever connector your tablet has. You can put the card in the reader and plug it into your tablet and read directly from the card. I have tried this using both with SD and CF Express cards. I picked up a CF Express...

I am planning on going back before the warbler breeding season is over. I'll try and pick a bright day. It wasn't too bad today, but we did have more overcast than sun. I think I'll bring my tripod to help keep me on target while I'm waiting for the "jump". The nice thing about the warblers is...

Got out to Beidler Forest this morning.

Well, I tried out the pre-release capture on some warblers this morning. Not ideal conditions as there wasn't a lot of light due to a heavy canopy. I really wanted some in flight pictures so thought I'd give it a shot. I set the shutter speed too slow to get sharp images for small birds, trying...

Well, the insect activity in my backyard wildflower plot is slowly increasing. I was lured out by a black and yellow beetle on a deep purple flower, but he took off as soon as I started shooting, and I only got one poorly focused shot. I looked around before giving up and discovered this...

My limited experience with jumping dolphins is that the jump is slow enough to be able to be captured if you are ready to shoot and quick on the shutter. I was lucky enough last year to be on the beach when a pod was fishing offshore and frequently breaching. I switched to my long lens and tried...

One of the unfortunate aspects of the inclusion of electronics in camera equipment is longevity. My dad's old Rollie TLR from the 60s is still going strong, despite having had a large number of rolls run through it. Every electronic dependent film camera I have is currently non functional...

I'm sure a lot of folks felt the same way when film cameras began to disappear. Technology moves on. I was fortunate that very shortly after I got interested again in photography, that I didn't have much invested in equipment. That made the move to mirrorless rather painless. After I got used...

So ugly they are cute.

Went down to Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal SC with the Carolina Nature Photographers Association. Light was a little harsh, but lots of activity. The new Z8 performed very well. Still very pleased with it's tracking.
