Saw my first whistling duck today. He/she was very cooperative, but It wasn't the best of perches for a picture. Still, glad to be able to get a decent shot. Got this shot of a couple anhingas.

That's a cool summer day in our neck of the woods.

More of an abstract, but it does have a spider in it.

Set up a perch on a pole to give me a better background for birds around the feeder in the backyard. Having a tough time getting something to attract the birds, without feeding pounds and pounds of expensive seed/suet to the squirrels. Finally managed to get a few birds on the mounted branch...

Another backyard bird .

Fred, I don't think you have to worry about getting bitten by that guy. Squeezed and swallowed, maybe, but not bitten.

I've had a couple days to think about this, and decide how I want to move forward. I have spent a lot of time amongst some of the more dangerous critters in our area for decades. I've been an avid river diver for many years, dealing with gators and moccasins in close quarters. I have been a...

I would imagine she was talking about Nikon factory repair. Here is the link for that. Nikon service

I don't think anyone here would think twice about you using this picture in a wildlife challenge. I know I didn't.

Sounds familiar.

Before I went to progressives, I had a pair of glasses I only used at the range. They were just enough power to see the front sight comfortably, which gave me the best sight picture. I kept them in my range bag, so they were always handy when needed. It would be easy enough to do the same with a...

If it was a snake, and neither I or the doctor had any other reasonable explanation, I believe it would have to be a very small one. I'm pretty sure if it had been an adult, I would have seen and felt it, and there would have been obvious fang marks. I have read that the small ones can be more...

Got up early this morning to go take pictures at the Audubon Garden Swamp. It was overcast and misting rain, but I decided to stick around and try out my homemade rain cape. It was a tad awkward, but worked fine. After I'd been there about an hour I suddenly noticed my left thumb was stiff, and...

Here are some backyard birds. In order, a downy woodpecker, tufted titmouse and a northern cardinal.

Really good work, Woody.

I shot a few birds at the backyard feeder, and no sign of the offending spot. I got lucky. I remember something about a reference photo option and thought I'd check it out, and then found the pixel mapping near the sensor cleaning option. I suppose the pixel mapping service Nikon offers would...

Well, I think I fixed it. There is a submenu under the wrench icon that is Pixel Mapping. I ran that and took a couple test photos. The spot now seems to be gone.:)
