It appears to be true, but only if you drive away from the cities there. Very dark at the Rio Grande.

A couple more of that same hawk.

For a D810, the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary is very good at wildlife. You can buy much better, but not a whole lot better for the money invested. My own Milky Way photos to date were done with a crop sensor D7000 and Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art, then later a D750 with Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art. The...

Oh yeah, I did some IR work in July.

Slightly less green.

I have a 150mm square light pollution filter. What it does really is filter out a narrow band of light that equates to those magenta-pinkish street lights that were even more common before LED street lights. Those are sodium-based lights that are nearly monochromatic. That band is still...

As green as it gets. https://imgur.com/iWWSwP9

An urban hawk, and somewhat tame. Only had a 70-200mm lens to use. Z5 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G VR

Bad things are going to happen. Very bad things.

Anybody want to trade their ham 'n cheese for a worm?

A day of experimentation. I tried out my Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon on the IR D600. It has a hot-spot, so I don't think I will try that again. I hoped for good, dramatic clouds with storms in the day's forecast. The morning was simply a solid overcast with no texture. Another wind farm near...

Prime Day normally does not feature the big name brands. As usual, I did not see any lens I might be interested in. But I did think to browse for a new backpack. I have never been overly pleased with my Lowepro Mini-Trekker that I bought 2nd-hand about 13 years ago. So I bought this "PGYTECH"...

I cannot decide which wind turbine series I like better. Color one day, infrared the other.

There were storms in the forecast for 7-11-2022, so I brought the infrared camera along to work. Clouds did not happen as I planned though. Spring Green, WI lunchtime The blackbirds are extra-black in infrared. Downtown Madison, WI at end of workday.

Since July 4th events were a rainout, I spent some time photographing the flowers at my sister's home between rain. Using my Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon as close-in as I could. Physically about 3-4 inches from the planters

An attempt to show the balance points of the lens at 150mm and 600mm. This is with a D750 plus an attached L-bracket mounted. This is a heavier back-end than you would have with D3400 or similar smaller body camera, so I would expect that at 600mm it would be necessary to slide even further to...

A wind farm near Fennimore, Wisconsin.

Windmill farm near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Nikon Z5 + Carl Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon

Many of us have the Sigma 150-600mm C lens. It's one of the best value super-telephotos out there. For all of it's great points, it does have a shortcoming in the tripod foot. Literally, it's too short. Don't we just have to install a long Arca-Swiss quick-release plate and it's all good? Not...

I have 6 devices each with it's own wallpaper. Three PC's, a tablet, 2 phones. My 2 laptops use 2 variations of this pic. Portrait formats for my personal and work phones. This is on my seldom-used tablet. I don't have the wallpaper for my main photo editing desktop PC available online...
