Welcome. I have a Godox 685 and the wireless trigger. Setting everything up can be a challenge. After a while you get the hang of it, at least for the functions you use a lot. I use mine almost exclusively for macro work, so all I have to do is to keep it in manual mode, change the power...

They're all good, but the one with the snow was epic.

What, no snow in the background?

Mine had stone wheels and a handpainted mammoth on the side. That was all the rage back then, although I wanted the one with the sabertooth tiger.

Haven't been out shooting lately. On the way home I saw some wading birds at a nearby pond. Not exciting subjects or background, but I needed the practice, so I grabbed my camera and headed back out to the pond. Decided to try and shake it up a little with something a tad more creative. Not sure...

Here's the link for the download for FF, if you are interested. xlFr for Firefox

I had recently discovered a box of slides while looking for something else, and got distracted from my original quest by looking at them. It was fresh in my mind and I know right where the box was.

Forgot to add I'm using Exify and xlFr. I have two because I first added Exify, which automatically provides basic info at the bottom of the image when the cursor is over the image, which is very convenient. I later added xlFr, because it provides far more data, but you must right click on the...

Firefox. I have two different EXIF apps running. No problems. Also, no Google looking over my shoulder.

We have that same moon here in South Carolina. Go figure.

Thanks for the link. Enjoyed it. This make me think about the annual contest that the Carolina Nature Photographer's Association has each year. This is the "club" my daughter and I belong to. I am amazed at the talent in our local group, not to mention the Association as a whole. I entered a...

They have a burrowing owl at a local raptor rescue center here. Whenever they bring him out of the carrier at demonstrations, it always elicits an "aawwwhh" from the crowd. They are small. And cute.

Wanted to go out shooting today, but between a cold/allergies/sinus infection and heavy rain most of the morning and early afternoon, that wasn't happening. At a break in the rain I went outside to see what was going on in the yard, and managed to get a decent shot of one of the miscreants that...

When you reshoot, you might want to consider bracketing and then stack then into an HDR.

I would have left more of the foreground than your crop. Of course, I'm in the (usually) put the horizon on a third guy. In this case I think the extra foreground balances better. In my mind the real star here should be the sky. I would try and bring out more warm color in the rising sun. I...

I got a K&F Concepts ball head. I really like my gimbal head for birds and wildlife, bit it's not much good for macro or landscapes. I wasn't a big fan of the head on my old Bogen (Manfrotto) tripod, and really wanted something with an arca swiss style plate. I had a little talk with Santa a...

IMO, if you have no equipment right now, going mirrorless is a no brainer. Which body to get really depends on your wants, and your wallet. If money is no object, go for the Z8, or Z9. If most of your shooting does not require the latest, greatest auto focus, the Z7ii might be a candidate. It is...

Congratulations
