Congratulations @blackstar and @Dangerspouse!

Two Red-Tailed Hawks surveying the surroundings.

Congratulations @Marilynne @Needa @nikonpup and @desmobob - what a great way to start off the New Year. :encouragement:

Just as I drove past the park today, they reopened after plowing the walkways and road. All I had with me was my 100-400mm lens. :beguiled:

Congrats, @Woodyg3!

I changed up my editing slightly, and at least for this image, it speeded up my PC quite a bit. Instead of waiting until I've finished editing in Photoshop before converting to a Smart Object, I converted then applied a Levels Adjustment and Color EFEX Pro afterwards. I was amazed my PC didn't...

The gimbal arrived this morning. It's heavier than I thought although Adorama didn't have its weight listed. Amazon has it listed at a little over 3 pounds. Initially I was going to mount this on a monopod, but due to its weight, I might be better off using a tripod - at least until I get used...

I have a Bogen Manfrotto Tripod and Bogen Manfrotto geared head that I purchased new back in the late 1990's. Over the years, they dropped the word Bogen and label their products as Manfrotto at least here in the US. Did you ever try the Demon DB-44 ball head? After reading up on a number of...

Congratulations, @nikonpup!

I don't know how much your Bogen head weighs, but I still have a Bogen 3047 head that is very hefty. Definitely never liked carrying that tripod around because the combined weight was about 10 pounds. :hurt: Benro makes a ball head that is outside your price range but is widely recommended on a...

Two more from yesterday's outing.

Sometime last fall I saw this mural in the process of being painted. This was my first time back to photograph the finished project. And while I was in the area, I took a couple photos - these were taken within a few feet from the Delaware River. The white tree in the second image really...

Since I tested out the 300mm lens on my D500 Saturday - small birds at a distance and was impressed - I went out on Monday with this lens and the 1.7x TC. Nope. Everything was soft. This one I managed to sharpen enough although it is excessively sharpened. It was the best of the images I took...

My D500 hasn't been focusing well at all lately despite cleaning its contacts as well as the contacts of my lenses. The thing is it seems almost every time I clean a lens' contacts, there is a small bit of grime that comes off on my Pec Pad. Makes me wonder where it comes from since I haven't...

Today I captured this interaction between Rangle, the Harris Hawk and a photographer. Rangle: Hey you ... standing by the backdoor. You look like a hippie. Ima gonna call you BackdoorHippie. Photographer: Lol. That was my username before I changed it to @BackdoorArts - now turn your head to the...

I went back and edited out the sensor spots. Both were set for Camera Neutral for the Camera RAW profile - and no editing except to use an adjustment brush for any clipped whites. I figure if I need either for sky replacements, then I can do any additional editing at that time.
