You are absolutely correct. Thanks. I don't see the tri color herons around here much.

Got a string of images of this little blue heron coming in for a landing.

Here is a website that goes into a lot of detail about the compatibility of Nikon cameras and lenses. Ken Rockwell compatibility chart Most any older Nikon lens can be fitted on almost any new Nikon camera. The issue is what features will work. What lenses do you have, and what camera(s)...

Even a blind hog finds an ear of corn every now and then.

Here's another of my current favorite tree at the Boneyard beach. It's similar to others I've posted, but each one is unique with changes in the waves, sun's position, clouds, and reflections in the wet sand. This one was made from 2, 5-shot, 1 stop increment, bracketed strings edited to a...

The Pup and I went over to Cypress Gardens this morning. Didn't get much. I was excited to see a barred owl sitting peacefully in a tree very close to the trail. He stayed there quite a while. The main problem was the lighting. Very heavily backlit. I gave it an extra stop of compensation, but I...

Very nice, Peter. I was going to say, worth getting up early for, but in your neck of the woods, it could just as well be a sunset. Around here, there are no sunsets over the ocean. OK, had to peak at the EXIF data. Looks like a sunset, unless your camera's time is set wrong.

What kind of shooting do you do? If you do a lot of wildlife or sports shooting, you may want to step up to an Expeed 7 processor. I went from a Z5 to a Z7ii. I was unhappy with the AF of the Z5 for wildlife. When they deeply discounted the Z7ii, I got one last year. It has the same dual Expeed...

Kissing is awkward when you have a beak.

According to several sources I saw online, the Nikon L100 takes AA batteries.

Thanks. There are several barrier islands on the coast here that have their treelines eroding into the surf. This is one of the closest to me (1 1/2 hour drive) with easy access. You have to plan carefully as the beach is not accessible at higher tides, and you have to plan to a certain level of...

A few more from Sunday's outing to Magnolia.

I've only had 4 outings with the Z8. Actually 3, it never came out of the bag at the beach. New, expensive camera, salt and fine sand. :cautious: First of all, this thing is a beast! I was surprised it wasn't the same form factor as the Z7ii. Bigger, heavier, although that's not a problem for...

I missed the actual confrontation. The blue heron was off picking up some nesting material nearby. The white heron decided to either take over the nest, or rob some material from it. The blue heron was having none of that. And the aftermath, with lots of screaming and posturing.

Flashing aircraft lights.

Made it out to Magnolia. It was rather overcast, so ISOs were high. Starting to get more and more birds nesting there. AF tracking on the Z8 worked well. It's not perfect, but I get a respectable percentage of in focus shots. Alot of the out of focus shots were either me not keeping the bird in...

The Pup dragged me down to the Boneyard Beach kicking and screaming. 3:45 AM is not my idea of the time to roll out of bed. We had a good time. The beach has changed a good bit again. I'm afraid it may not last that much longer. Not as much good subjects to choose from. Lots of jumbles of dead...

Great BIF images, Robin.
