Great shot! How'd that pelican get that fish to jump in his mouth??????????? 😉

Got a few more edited. This was a photography day at the Center which was arranged by the Carolina Nature Photographer's Association that the Pup and I are members of. We had 4 hours with the handlers bringing the birds out and putting them through their paces with the idea of letting us getting...

Had a day at the Center For Birds of Prey with the Pup. Got some decent shots. Nothing to alert the press about.

I Just learned that I can extend the maximum shutter speed out to 900s on my Z7ii. All I had to do was go into the menu and select extended shutter speeds. It only does that for manual mode, but that's fine. Keeps me from having to dig out my stupid phone and setup the timer. Not sure why you...

If you end up replacing it, you might consider a corded model, if it will fit your needs. They are far simpler and hopefully less prone to failure. They tend to be cheaper as well.

Well, to be fair, I do worry about horizons being straight.

I took the camera and my 200-500 outside tonight to see if I could see the comet. Trees in the way. While I was out I remembered I've never photographed the moon with the new higher resolution sensor Z7ii camera. I would have to dig out the hard drive with my older pictures on it, but it sure...

I didn't really have enough room to be able to straighten it out without crowding it. I was as far back as I could go, and using the widest lens I had. The wildlife/nature photographer in my doesn't register converging verticals, and there is no shift lens in my gear. 😉

Around here, even some of the buildings have ugly and enormous eyelashes.

I have both, but use my backpack most of the time. The main reason is my long tele lens. If I think I may need it, I take the backpack. A couple of the times I decided to go light, I ran into a situation that I REALLY wished I'd had my long lens with me. Having recently passed the 70 year mark...

Since this is a Nikon forum, most of us lean towards Nikon equipment. Since lenses are specific to a brand, once you choose a camera brand, you tend to stick with it for economic reasons. Beyond that, a lot depends on what type of photography you are interested in. For example, if you are...

Hope they work. I just did a quick internet search and they popped up.

Are these the same? amazon

Got back out to Cypress today. Not a red letter day. The woodies weren't very cooperative, and not much seemed to come together. These are about the only three worth posting, barely. I had high hopes for the wasp nest photos. I edited a bunch of them, but while interesting, most were just...

Yes, they do that here as well. They do have shutter counts listed on the DSLRs. At least for the Nikons. I was thinking that it was the other way around, until I looked again. :oops:

I appreciate your input. I have already gone through everything you have mentioned. I posted this issue on Topaz's forum several months ago and got advise from users as well as Topaz staff. I ran through many different adjustments within Photo AI and figured out ways to diminish the artifacts...

A lot of the pineapple fountain pictures are taken at sunrise, or at night (it's lit at night). I don't think I've seen a daytime picture done long exposure. I was hoping for more of a "fog" effect. I took another one after this one at twice the exposure length. The water looked about the same...

Tried a couple more long exposures at the fountains downtown. This one is interesting. Not sure about the composition. I think this was a 45 sec exposure. EXIF data maxes out at 30 sec, so I'm going by memory here. This turned out fairly well. Of course, every photographer around here...

The Pup wanted to go downtown for a photo outing this weekend. Street photography isn't my strong suit, but a day out with my daughter is. :) This may not be too special, but I like the geometry in it for some reason. One of the restaurants had a bubble machine out front. It captured a...
