Thanks, I was a little concerned that they were somewhat cheaper than the old name brands, but that doesn't always mean lower quality. I may be sorry for not getting a larger drive, but right now I could get two of the Crucial drives for less then a single 4TB. And one of those is more than I...

Fred, I heard someone, probably on Youtube, talking about Crucial brand drives. Are they worth considering? They aren't one of the traditional drive manufacturers I'm familiar with, but these days brands change fast, and I haven't really been in the loop on this for a long time. I can get a...

Hello and welcome. Do you currently own any Nikon mount lenses, and if so, which ones. I have the Z5 and have a couple Nikon Z lenses, and one F mount with the FTZ adapter. The adapted lens works quite well, but the Z lenses are definitely a cut above. Lens availability for the Z mount is still...

Looks like I have 1 USB C and one USB A, both rated at 5GPS.

I thought I lost my hard that has all my photos on it when I went down to Florida this week. Discovered where it was hiding when I got back. Got me to thinking. I periodically back up all my edited photos on a thumb drive. All my files directly from the camera go on a 2TB HDD as the SSD in my...

Had a small visitor today. I discovered him looking at the picture of an orb weaver spider on the wall. Grabbed my camera and I shot him. They are curious creatures. They are also not very scared of humans.

Don't know what the club dues are for the photo club are, but this club is fairly reasonable. $75 a year for a family membership. I've had experience with another hobby club. It was a great learning experience, but escalating dues and other costs priced me out of the market at the time.

I prefer the last one. The angled head of the heron, and flat on of the fish works better for me.

Yeah, I don't normally use silent mode. I occasionally switch to it when shooting very skittish wildlife, and there is a chance the noise of the shutter will scare them off. Like I said, I had it in silent mode without flash, taking pictures at a "wake" and wanted to be a little less intrusive...

Last month the Pup and I went to an "art" show at Magnolia Plantation, knowing that there would be some photographers displaying/selling their work. There was a representative of the Carolina Nature Photographers Association there. We decided to attend a meeting and last night we thought it...

Not sure. I wasn't looking to minimize noise with the flash, I just had it silent mode initially, when I wasn't using the flash, trying to be less conspicuous. I wanted to take a picture of my cousin and her son outside, and there was some dappled light, so I thought I'd try a flash with a...

I was taking some pictures at a "wake" this week. I thought I'd try a few flash shots with my Godox mounted on the Z5. I had the camera in silent mode and the flash wouldn't fire. I wondered if the silent mode was the issue, and tried going back to normal mode, and it worked. I guess it's...

There weren't any cars around in the year 510. ;)

Not that great a shot. I visited my nephew in Florida this week, and had an owl nest in the lot behind him. Wasn't a good idea to jump the fence and get closer. I ended up pulling out the old D5600 and took advantage of the crop factor. Would have liked to have spent some time waiting on mom to...

I suppose we could always put a dead opossum inn our back yards and wait.

Close. It was a shot of the gutter in front of my house after a rainstorm. The pollen coated the top of the water, and caught my eye when I went out to check the mail. I swear you could put this up with a group of aerial photos of estuaries and you wouldn't think twice about it being taken from...

Any guesses as to what altitude this image was taken at?

Yes, I tend to lean toward the first one as well. There are elements of the others that I am drawn to, but it's a matter of trade offs to get some of those elements.

You're right, it is a black vulture. I wasn't really thinking about the difference between the two when I posted. Both are common sights around here. These were taken at the Birds of Prey Center. I'm not that good at stalking wildlife.
