Despite all that, I was impressed with how well it did. Especially considering how little time it took. And, it's not like this is going on the cover of Southern Living magazine.

And here are two that show what Lightroom is capable of these days. This is one I shot this morning. No political agenda intended either way. More a photojournalistic exercise. I really didn't like the fencing and orange barriers, so I departed from photojournalism and decided to see what...

The Pup and I went downtown today. I think perhaps I should stick to wildlife. Still, she enjoys it.

Things were a little slow at Magnolia today.

Mother Nature is a cruel mother.

Lots of Youtube videos popping up about it lately. Nothing official yet. Most of the videos have the same specs and features. None seem to have anything solid on release date, so it may be just smoke and mirrors. I'm hoping it's coming, and soon. I might decide it's not for me when it gets...

If the rumors are true, the Z90 should be coming out soon. Most claim a 33 MP crop sensor, 15 fps, precapture, and an expeed 7 processor with excellent autofocus capability. In essence, the follow on to the venerable D500, with most of the modern bells and whistles. It's supposed to come out...

My thought is that you already have that focal length covered with two of your other lenses. The 100mm macro being close to an 85. The only difference between the 70-200 at around 85mm and the 85mm prime is 1 stop of narrower DOF. I'm not into portrait, but I would think you could easily...

A couple so-so shots from Cypress

Went to Cypress Gardens today. I was taking a few pictures of a wood duck with my static settings. Single point, single servo, 1/500 sec to give me the best chance for a sharp eye and low ISO. As I had my eye to the viewfinder, something spooked the bird and even though the settings were wrong...

MPB.com It's one of the popular used camera vendors. Not sure if they would ship to Australia, or if it would be economically feasible to do so. Perhaps there is an equivalent available in your area.

Glad you're up and running. I assumed you were using the FTZ adapter. That's what most everyone is using.

Two, actually. You must have been pretty close, even with a 750mm equivalent.

Looking on MPB here in the states, I see a couple parts bodies listed for $40 and $65 respectively. They also have a working model in "good" condition for $175. Not sure what's available where you are. I know that international shipping can be a real deal killer. Perhaps this might be a good...

Well, the whole point of this was to get some different opinions. I believe that I like this last one best. I'm not real big on radically modifying a photo, but on occasion will do so. This version brings it down to the single thing that drew me to it, the juxtaposition of the different bird...

Had a hard time deciding. I had several more artistic images, but choose this one mainly because you just don't see this every day.

I remember the Spotone bottles well. Again, I have no problem with someone editing one of my posted images to show their thoughts on how it should be edited. OK, here's another iteration.

Blackstar, I don't mind at all. I guess I was going to the dark side, because that was the mood of the area for most of the morning's shoot. This was one of the first shots I did when we arrived. While the avocet picture above was taken later after the sun was up, and things were much brighter...

No need to apologize. I asked for honest feedback, and that is what I want. Sometimes I have an image that has an element or elements that appeal, but just seems to lack something. Sometimes it can be overcome by editing, and sometimes it just belongs in the digital equivalent of the round file...
