Great set of photos, Walt! What was that owl perching on in the last shot?

You ain't kidding. He probably had to lower that Big Boy down with a derrick!

Hey thanks Brent! Yeah, it's the Nikkor lens that came with the D500 kit. Still gotta get used to it, but so far I'm lovin' her :)

Whoa, what a great set! Terrific captures, Woody (y)

So I finally got around to attaching the new 16-80mm to the D500 for some daylight hour shots. Specifically, golden hour shots. And surprise, surprise, it was Dell who was the willing subject! Couldn't resist as he craned his head around following a flying beetle of some sort, especially as he...

Thank you so much! So was I, lol :)

I feel your pain, bud :)

Yes, I definitely clicked it into place. I have watched so many video reviews of that lens, and read written reviews online, and almost all of them mention the wonky, insecure hood attachment. It really is almost shockingly bad, to my mind. I may see if I can jury rig some sort of alternate...

Hey thanks Bill, I appreciate that! :)

I've only owned mine for a short while, and I can already see why (y)

That is a gorgeous photo - I can see why it's your favorite. All the best to you in 2023, I do hope whatever has been keeping you from getting out as often as you like improves this year! :)

Ok, went back and found one of the 1/60th sec moon shots. Seen in larger pics, I can spot now that it's a bit fuzzier than 1/125th. But not by a helluva lot. Certainly better than I would have ever guessed before owning this lens!

I realized I had an even longer hand held shutter speed shot now. I went out into my yard yesterday because it was raining, and I wanted to try the cheap lens rain cover my wife gave as a stocking stuffer. It was...cheap. But it worked ok, some frustrating handling qualities notwithstanding...

Thanks Cindy! Yeah, that monster will sure give you a workout if you don't have manly-man arms ;) Oh! Sorry - I did take some at 1/60th, but I guess I posted the wrong one from my folder. I went up and down the shutter speed dial that night to see how long it took before I couldn't get a sharp...

Thank you so much Cindy, that means a lot to me!

These were my first shots with the 16-80mm. Gave the low light performance a bit of a workout, lol. It was tough to tear myself away from that insane 200-500mm howitzer, but I eventually did. I'm sure I'll be using this one for general walking around photography for a long time. Can't wait to...

The very first pics with my new Christmas lenses. First up, the long boy (Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6). Not 10 minutes after arriving home with it I heard sirens down the street announcing the Fire Department's annual Santa Tour of the neighborhood. They go around slowly, lights and sirens on...
