Entry #1 Veterans make me happy. This was a chance encounter with a 92-year old WWII Navy Veteran. He was in the Amphibious Corps where they dropped Marines at a beach in Japan. He was sitting on the shopping cart corral when I returned my cart today.

Here is another memorial bench I photographed today. For some reason, I hadn't saved the file as a jpeg...only as a PSD.

This is the new design for memorial benches at this park. Previously the benches were made out of wood slats on concrete bases, but the wood slats weathered, splintered, and in some instances broke. This appears to be made out of a wood-look type of resin.

Take your pick - Dancing in the Street OR Stomping A Lantern Fly. ;)

Yesterday I posted one of these images in a Facebook photo group and was told the goose might have Angel Wing (it also goes by other names). It is a deformity caused by nutritional deficiencies which makes the wings grow outwards rather than to lie flat against their bodies. It can leave them...

I believe these are two different geese. The first image is cross-posted in the Birds thread. In the second pic, I don't recall seeing geese floating with their wings somewhat extended. My guess is the one feather might soon fall off. Both shot with my non-VR Nikon 300mm f/4 coupled with my...

I thought for sure I saw someone else's image of a goose scratching itself within the past few days. Yet I cannot find it. Had this opportunity a couple days ago but just uploaded the images to my computer tonight.

Nikonites only allows a maximum of 10 images per post. This is the last of the photos I took at the Car Show.

More car photos from the Car Show on Labor Day. This next one required me to merge 2 images together. When I focused, somehow the emblem missed focus and was soft. Fortunately I took a second photo of the emblem alone. So I was able to reduce the emblem's size in a new layer to fit over...

Thanks, Andy. And yes...I used Nik Dfine2. First I do my basic RAW edits in Camera RAW which has the same tools as Lightroom but set up in a different layout (my PC doesn't like to run both Lightroom and Photoshop at the same time). After my basic edits in CR, I went to Photoshop where I...

Yesterday someone mentioned there was a local car show, but by the time I heard about it, the show had already started. I got there about 15-20 minutes before it ended. In total, I'm pretty sure I photographed no more 15 cars but wouldn't have planned to do too many anyway. These are a few of...

The only person I know of here who might be able to offer additional insight would be @BackdoorArts - maybe Jake has encountered this issue? :confused:

Just a reminder places such as B&H, Adorama, and other camera stores that observe these holidays will most likely be closed for 10 or so days. If you are planning to order, you might want to do it in advance. Otherwise, I don't believe placing an order is available during the days they are...

Re: Voting for Aug. 26 - Sept. 21 Weekly Challenge: Vanishing Point or B&W Repeat Pat This challenge brought in some amazing images. Kudos @crycocyon for winning a close race!

Taken with the 300mm f/4 non-VR lens plus refurbished 1.7x TC. Although this was in the evening and I hit my capped ISO, capturing the young bunny in mid-lick was priceless. I wasn't even aware of it until I looked at the images on my PC.

Since it seems you weren't going to ask Nikon yourself....

Was the brand you purchased a Stroboframe? I purchased this one for my 35mm film camera and have used it ever since with my DSLR's without any issues. I definitely wouldn't call it flimsy. Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 Bracket. It's very sturdy...
