    Let's see some reptiles...

    Yeah, I was walking along the path and saw this little guy soaking up some sun. I stopped and grabbed a quick insurance shot, but before I could change position to try and get a clearer shot, he decided to hit the water. I tried to clean it up in PS, it was going well until I got to the eye. I...

    Nikon d3400 black screen help!

    I would first remove the battery, then hit the shutter button and hold it down a few seconds. Reinsert the battery and see if the monitor comes back on. The next would be to reset all functions. If that doesn't work I guess the next step is to call Nikon customer service. Good luck.

    Let's be careful out there folks

    Discovered this in my new boots this morning. Not to worry, this species is Thamnophis Gummis. More commonly known as the rubber snake. The Pup was trying to have a little fun with me. There will be retaliation.

    Danno's 2023 Who Knows When

    If you do a lot of denoising (Is that even a word?) of your photos, I would highly recommend getting Topaz Denoise, or their trio of Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel, if you haven't already.. I've been using them for about a year, and couldn't imagine post processing without them. I could probably...

    Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

    Well, I tried B&H and it was $150 less than KEH.

    Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

    I watched the above posted review of it today. He gives a lot of comparisons to the 200-500 I currently have and use with the FTZ. Sounds like it is an upgrade in terms of VR, AF, weight, zoom ratio and build quality. On the other hand it is not a big upgrade in terms of sharpness. As a wash, my...

    Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8

    Sorry, I didn't have my sarcasm emoji handy.

    Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

    I'm glad I switched. Of course, I was dealing with an entry level crop frame DSLR, and went to the entry level full frame. Still, there are a lot of features the mirrorless has that the DSLRs just don't have. When I bought my Z5 the biggest issue was the lack of affordable telephoto lenses...

    Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8

    Yeah, but that extra 20mm is a killer.

    Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

    I love my 200-500 F mount on my Z5, but would love to have a native mount long tele. I see they have a 70-180 F 2.8 coming out as well.

    Post Your Landscape Photos

    It's funny, I can stand in the open door of an aircraft at 1,000 ft off the ground and stick my head out into the slipstream without fear. Get me above 2 floors on a ladder, or edge of a building or cliff, and my knees turn to jelly.

    OK, looking at it more closely, I guess the message count is actually the post count. I guess the only way would be someone joining, but never posting anything.

    Post your Raptors

    Here's a few of a red shouldered hawk that lives in my neighborhood. Not the best of backgrounds, but it's where they live. This is one of the residents that isn't happy they live here. I used the new remove tool in PS to get rid of the distracting mailboxes in the foreground of this one.

    I suppose that these are the folks that join with a specific question. After getting, or not getting an answer they never visit the forum again. This is a pretty common practice.

    Well, apparently, my daughter isn't interested in my Z5.
