    Can you help ID this bird please?

    I hope you don't mind that I edited your image. I'm leaning towards a Red-Shouldered Hawk, lucien. Here is yours edited - I increased the whites slider in Camera RAW, took it into On1 Resize 10 to enlarge it, then took it back to Photoshop to crop. And here is an image linked to...

    Here are a couple from yesterday's outing. Considering both are cropped quite a bit, and the focus point moved partially off of them, the sharpness isn't too bad. I focused on the face which is slightly soft. It's having to wait the extra time for the VR to settle that is a big pain. But if the...

    New lens for the beast

    That would be a no from me. I purchased one preowned which was in excellent condition, but it lacked sharpness and contrast. Plus my white balance was kind of warm - overly yellow. If I were purchasing a wide angle zoon for a DX Nikon body, I'd consider the DX Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens. Our...

    Post Your Birds (3)

    I haven't seen any this year. There is a park where a couple green herons have stayed during the warm months, but ever since COVID with more people frequenting the park to walk (many health clubs had to close down last year), the herons disappeared. Here are some that I've shared in the past...

    D500 Battery Cover Door

    I am going with the Nikon brand cover, lucien. Several years ago I had an SB-910 that had corrosion inside the battery chamber due to Duracell batteries leaking. Although I cleaned it out myself as did an employee of a local camera store, the metal inside the chamber was pitted from the...

    D500 Battery Cover Door

    The battery cover door to my D500 was lying inside my camera bag and seems to be extremely loose after reinstalling it (wobbly from side to side). Nikon has the part listed for sale on their website. Since I haven't used my D500 much - around 5k actuations - I'm wondering if I should order 2 or...

    One thing I've noticed over the past couple of days is the VR takes much longer to settle - and that might be causing some of the soft images. Today I held down the BBF and waited at least 2 seconds for the image to stop shaking before taking the pics. No Shake Reduction here although it could...
