    Clowning around with SB-800s

    So I had a few minutes to myself and thought I'd make my drum set look like it's at a concert. I ran out of time before I could do a second shoot, but got this far...

    Shutter count

    So I was curious as to what the shutter count is on my D7000. I don't use as it much since I got my D600 in April 2013. In the old days of flickr, you could see shutter count in the exif and way back then, I had about 38K clicks. I googled shutter count and found a site where I could upload a...

    First birds of the season - my ducks are back

    Since we're officially into springtime, I keep my D7000 and 70-200 at the ready by the patio door in case anything photo-worthy happens in my back yard. Today, my duck couple returned to torment my terriers (and vice versa). Here's my first shots of the season of the mallard taking off from...

    Gary Fong Collapsible Snoot

    I got tired of using a Pringles can as a snoot and ordered the GF collapsible speed snoot. It joins his Lightsphere and Puffer in my kit.

    It's a gas

    St. Louis Region of the Porsche Club of America held a brake bleeding tech session at a local vendor's shop where he was kind enough to fill our tires with nitrogen. With all those hoses, looks like my car's on life support! :cool:

    Momma always told me not to shoot into the eyes of the sun...

    D600 is back and we went downtown today to take some postcard photos. Excellent day here in St. Louis, after some recent chilly weather. Anywho, cruised down by the Arch and grabbed a few shots of what looks like Lunar Landing Man. Turns out he's Brad, a man of Jesus, flying the Christian...

    Bump n Zoom

    Tried a new (to me) technique tonight as I was snapping some pics of the dinky tree in our family room. So, after a few zoom shots with the D7000 and 70-200, I started shaking the lens or tapping on the tripod, while zooming 70-200. I got some interesting results, such as the shot below...

    D600 nose dive

    Ouch! I had my first camera disaster ever last night. I was at my wife's bar and had a bunch of my high school buddies (St. Mary's, Class of '68) in for our Christmas Party. Naturally, I have to take photos. After a few were taken, I put my rig in our small office, on 2 cases of beer. I...
