Entry #1 - Low to the Ground Perspective

Has anyone ever used fonts available through your Creative Cloud subscription? I was just watching a video where it says they are included. Here is more info on them. It's not clear to me whether or not the fonts get downloaded or how they might otherwise be accessed...

This vulture was the only wildlife to photograph today. It even flew above me and circled a few times before flying off. At least it gave me a little BIF practice. It seems my lens/TC combo just isn't ideal to AF sharply with dark subjects.

I had another go at the green heron image. Since it was positioned much higher in my frame than I wanted, I wound up extending the top of the canvas and filling with content aware fill. That allowed me to make the bird smaller in the image. No matter what, my shutter speed was too slow. But the...

This Green Heron took off before I expected, and obviously I wasn't ready with my shutter speed. Even with Shake Reduction, it simply isn't quite enough. It's also a big crop. :( If this laptop could support Topaz, I'd definitely get it. Last year I photographed one several times without issue...

@BackdoorArts and @Whiskeyman have Macs. Maybe one of them can point you in the right direction. :confused:

Congratulations @TwistedThrottle - nicely done! :encouragement:

It's priceless having two dogs inside a fenced in yard that obey and leave wildlife alone - well at least when I'm out there watching them. ;) Yesterday our little Jack Russell spotted a young bunny and gave chase before I saw it. As soon as I said NO, she pulled up and headed in a different...

Has anyone ever seen unusual wildlife couples paired up together? Today was the third time I've seen a smaller bird flying with a hawk (leaning towards a Red-Tailed Hawk). All I know is the other bird was quite dark and smaller. And it wasn't a chase. Unfortunately I was driving during every...

Here is another image from this morning. When this combo nails focus in low light, it is absolutely amazing with its sharpness. Unfortunately wide open with a TC, my aperture is f/6.7. It's another image at ISO 5000. While the squirrel was waiting for me to go back inside, it grabbed a seed or...

Today was forecast for thunderstorms which now look like they won't come in until this afternoon. Despite the sun being out, I still hit my cap of ISO 5000 under this shaded section of our tree. I haven't seen Wilson for a long time. He was the little squirrel that was so photogenic. There is...

Big difference in the amount of light between yesterday and today. The first image was from yesterday. Looking though photos with these 2 sparrows, the one on the left must have lost an eye. It's that way in all the photos. This female Red-Winged Blackbird was from today. When I put out bird...

This isn't a good photo, but I'm posting it because it was a complete surprise. I framed up the image, and a split second before I pressed the shutter, the sparrow that was sitting there flew off. During that split second, my thumb continued to press the back button which allowed the camera to...

I've found this camera/lens combo struggles with sharpness when the subject is in low light. If I didn't have the TC, it wouldn't be a problem. It was extremely shaded where the deer stood - much darker than the image appears.

A few from this afternoon. The fisherman was a picturesque find. :) On my way back to the main road, I saw the 8th Great Wonder of the World - looks like a Pyramid. ;) Actually it is part of a landfill. :( In the area below, they used to allow fishing. I never noticed trash or any fishing...

@cwgrizz please don't count mine in for the final poll. I'd rather allow someone else be in the running. Thanks! :encouragement:

Question for you @BackdoorArts - Jake, you mentioned not using any sharpening or noise reduction in Lightroom. So do you reset the default sharpening and noise reduction to zero?

I don't think that lens would need a tripod collar. I have the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR AF-S which weighs at least 6 ounces heavier, and I never felt the need to use a tripod collar with it. Nikon doesn't even make one for that lens - and that's one way to tell whether or not you might want to...

Not necessarily. A lot of it depends on the brightness of your scene. Here is one shot at 1/1600" with ISO 500 although it is a different body. Are you taking a lot of your images in low light?
