I almost missed this sleeping beauty. This duck was hidden at the base of a bush with its colors blending in with the background.

"Bridge(s) or Depth" This month you have a choice between either bridge/bridges or showing depth. Since you can post up to 3 images, you can submit both if you choose. Any type of bridge(s) will do - highway bridge, railroad bridge, footbridge, etc. Depth. Whether you want to use leading...

There was another game this afternoon with older players. Only posting this one but had several that were fine. I spent time talking with a parent so didn't take as many overall as I did yesterday.

Yesterday was the first soccer game. I went with my 70-200mm f/4 VR coupled with my 1.4x TC which is all I wound up using. I also took my 300mm f/4 PF with the 1.7x TC attached but didn't need it. The 70-200mm plus 1.4x TC worked really well. I really wanted images that were closer to the...

I just found out today that one boy's game will be tomorrow and the other boy's game will be Sunday. Was told they don't allow anyone to stand behind the goal posts so will need to position myself at a corner like @BackdoorArts suggested. This should be interesting - there's always a first for...

I wanted to do something for this month's Light challenge, but the sun was still too high in the sky to do it.

I was reading a thread over on the Backcountry Gallery Forums when I came across one talking about cleaning a Z6ii sensor. I will post one of the comments below. Has anyone heard about hot pixel issues with the mirrorless bodies...

Has anyone used Atmospheric Aerosol in an outdoor setting? I know it needs to be backlit for the fog to show up. Any pointers/tips for using it outdoors? I've already searched online for articles and videos. Am just looking for people who have actually used it. I'm thinking of a high school...

I haven't seen the squirrel I dubbed Wilson in over a year. Although I know this isn't him, this one's been around a couple of times. At least it doesn't run off quite so quickly as most other squirrels.

Who else has a favorite March 2021 image? :confused: This is one I took while performing a lens test on my repaired 300mm f/4 PF.

Adorama is running a one-day sale on a refurbished Nikon Z5. Options are body only at $899, body plus 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens at $1099, or body plus 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens at $1699. A little over 22 hours left for this sale. I did a quick check to compare prices - if purchased directly thru Nikon...

Has anyone ever used or heard of the lighting company named Jinbei? It's a Chinese company that Westcott uses when rebranding some strobes under their own name. In this link, fstoppers compares the Westcott FJ400 to the Godox AD400 Pro. The Westcott comes in with a lower price than the Godox...

I purchased this pistol grip to mount my Godox AD200 and use handheld. https://www.amazon.com/fantaseal-Stabilizer-Flashlight-SelfieStick-Compatible/dp/B01FUEXLGU/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pistol+grip+for+ad200&qid=1618102675&s=electronics&sr=1-4

This looks interesting. Amazon sells a combo package with the 80mm Lensball and a suction cup tripod mount. Obviously the tripod head isn't included, but the first image gives an indication of how it works. Plus the combo price is less expensive than buying the two items separately. The tripod...

Over in one of the Facebook legal groups, I asked what was required to photograph private historic properties (privately owned homes) for the wall calendar I'm going to create. I was told I need a property release which is supposed to be similar to a model release. Any suggestions on websites...

I'm looking to create a couple of different effects. Photoshop Elements used to have this built in as an easy method (rather than doing it manually). I still have Elements 10 on this PC so might give it a go. It's called the Pop Out Effect. Here is an image from...

A neighbor has two kiddos who play soccer (different age groups), and since their family has been helpful with snow removal during the winter, I told them I'd like to take soccer photos. There are multiple fields side-by-side so the only access would be from one end where one of the goals is...

While I was at the park today, I took a few memorial bench photos. These images are for the families who have lost loved ones. I share them in a Facebook group dedicated to memorial benches. Originally I was headed to the 2nd bench pictured below, but a couple of high school girls got there...
