Entry #1 - Trenton Makes Bridge across the Delaware River

Juvenile Green Heron

A juvenile green heron at the park this afternoon. The bird was so dark in color, initially I thought it was a cormorant. When I got a better look at it, I realized it must be some type of heron. It flew off before I was able to get too close. Both images are cropped somewhat. I'm still amazed...

I also don't think it looks like it is worth the money. Buying a decent tripod on a limited budget is tough. This Vanguard tripod looks promising and is on sale for $99.99 - regularly $179.99. Load capacity is 17.6 pounds. Weight is 3.7 pounds. Height isn't all that great at 59" but for the...

Young robin must have just taken its bath.

I drove past this sign a couple weeks ago and decided to return to take a photo. When I was a kid, I remember seeing barns with advertisements painted on their sides. This reminded me of those although these are signs that are fastened to the building - not painted directly on the stones.

Kevin, I couldn't find a Godox octabox in a 24" to 26" size. Cheetahstand has this 26" which comes with a beauty dish. What it has that the Phottix and Glow lack is a pebbled silver interior. It's my understanding that a pebbled interior reduces hot spots better than one without. But I have a...

I've been shooting so much for church as well as the memorial benches lately that it felt good just to be out taking photos for myself. There was some type of soccer event at the park this afternoon. It looked as though they were finishing up a game when I spotted this treeline. There's a...

I'm looking for a smaller octabox (currently have a Godox 47") and want to stay in the 24" to 26" range for outdoor portability. Although I'm a big Magmod fan, the reviews of the Magbox concern me - so I'm looking for a different brand. I haven't seen an octabox by Godox in that size range...

If there's one thing I dislike even more than finding a pile of feathers near our birdfeeder is seeing the pile then a moment later a hawk flies out from behind a bush leaving its dead prey behind. After I buried the pigeon, I noticed the hawk was still in our yard. It's wearing the blood on its...

Someone was running a remote controlled boat on a local lake. It moved pretty fast - I barely remember upping my shutter speed to 1/1600" before starting to shoot. Because of the boat's speed coupled with the fact that it was so close to the shore, I didn't want to take any chances. One of the...

I will check my Nikon flash cases for the SB-700 and SB-910 to see if they will hold the trigger and receivers. Nikon sells the cases separately although the price is kind of high. This one is the SS-700 replacement case for the SB-700. Cost is $20 new. Will still keep watch for a Case Logic...

This clamp arrived today. The smell isn't nearly as bad as what some of the reviews suggested. :beguiled: The clamp is exceptionally strong. There's no way it's going to drop something. It's all I can do to open it. The clamp itself is metal, not plastic, although the edges that hold a diffuser...

"Artificial Light" - (nickt's choice) Artificial Light, that is, man-made light. The light itself should be your subject or a major supporting element of the subject. A streetlight, a table lamp, a candle, a fire, etc. Make it "All about the light." This should be a lot of fun! Let's see how...
