This afternoon we had a break in the rain so I took some photos of memorial benches and general scenery. Met a really nice young man and had a conversation with him about Nikon lenses. Since I will be photographing a falconry event, I decided to pull out my 300mm f/4 PF with the 1.4x TC...

This weekend I'll be photographing some promo images for the man who does falconry. Then sometime during November (I think), he will hold a couple events teaching people about what he does. And I'll be back a second time for at least one of those events. So I got out and practiced with the Nikon...

I considered using this for the leading lines weekly challenge but decided it really isn't quite what I want. The challenge wasn't my intention for taking the photo anyway. Hopefully I'll have time to create something specific.

Great Egret - reminds me of angel wings.

B&H has the Induro GHB1 Gimbal Head on sale today only for $184.95. Many other sites list it at $350+. Although I don't know anything about Gimbal heads, I do know Induro items usually tend to be made well. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/655339-REG/Induro_485_001_GHB1_Gimbal_Head.html

Many years ago there was a discussion of a tabletop type of shooting tent or light box for use in product photography. Unfortunately I cannot find the thread and am having trouble finding something decent but not overly expensive. Neewer has a couple - one is 24"x24" while the other is 32"x32"...

For those who like to photograph wildlife, this link showed up in a Facebook group called Bucks County Birders. They are offering a FREE webinar tonight about New Jersey's Long-Eared Owls. If you aren't able to Zoom live, there is an option to receive the replay link. It's sponsored by the...

This article shows some surreal images that are supposed to be optical illusions, not Photoshopped images...

It might have been @wev - I think he mentioned having a high shutter count in the past.

Here is another one of the Great Egret. It caught what I believe was a frog then walked to the water's edge and dunked the frog - twice - during the course of eating it. After scrutinizing these images, I really do need to perform the AF tuning. Some were a tad soft but nothing compared to the...

I went out this afternoon and shot 100+ images of a Great Egret. Just about everything is in focus now that I have the camera set to AF-C with Focus priority. And I was able to shoot in continuous without any problem. How well it does with a moving subject is yet to be seen. Here is a straight...

When I use BBF on all my bodies, I have the autofocus set to AF-C with release being the option instead of focus. On the D500, there are two additional options. One is release+focus and the other is focus+release. I am having trouble finding any info that explains how they work. Since I am still...

Well...as it turns out, when I tested the Keh lens at a distance, absolutely nothing was in focus. It wasn't that it was front or back focusing...it looked as though a slight gaussian blur was added to the images. :hurt: But subjects that were closer were mostly in focus. As it turned out, the...

I think @Woodyg3 had the Tamron but now uses the Nikon 200-500mm. He might be able to offer some insight especially since he's used two of the three you are considering.

Great Blue Heron Considering this is a zoom, the bokeh created by the lens is so creamy.

Several weeks ago I added the Capital One Shopping extension to Chrome but didn't use it until today. While checking out at B&H, I hovered over the prompt that stated it found 10 codes. Most didn't work as it toggled through automatically. Most promos were clearly for sales such as Black Friday...

The Delaware River is high this afternoon. Part of the walkways were underwater.

I went back and did a quick edit - this time using ONLY an adjustment brush in Camera RAW to remove background noise. I did have to go over the background multiple times to reduce the noise. Nothing was done over the cat's face. Camera RAW has the exact same tools as Lightroom so this is...
