Pennsylvania Magazine is having a photo contest - the submission deadline is April 15th. @jdeg @Eduard @BackdoorArts not sure if you have anything you'd like to submit. https://pa-mag.com/2020photo/

Just read this on FB - the Nikon School is offering their online classes for free for the month of April. I attended one in person over 20 years ago and felt it was a valuable learning experience. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/2/21204243/nikon-free-photography-classes-april

I don't know how many of you have seen the photos circulating on Facebook of the squirrel sitting at a picnic table, but someone made this for Wilson. I just set it up this afternoon and already it is in use. https://www.thedodo.com/in-the-wild/guy-builds-tiny-picnic-table-for-squirrels

Due to my frustration yesterday, I guess I hadn't looked through the entire folder of images very carefully. At some point, I vaguely remember changing my settings - one of which was switching to AF-S with single point. That made a noticeable difference although there were still a few photos...

I am still trying to identify the cause of the soft focus. Today I had an amazing opportunity to photograph a red-tailed hawk with its prey. I was literally 20 feet or so away and shot well over 100 images. I'm lucky if I have 5 in focus enough to salvage. This image is cropped quite a bit. It...

*Not an entry* Several parking lots for essential stores have latex gloves and wipes strewn all over because people won't take them to a nearby trashcan. :mad:

This morning I was about to add some peanuts to the squirrel feeder when I looked out the window. Not sure if this squirrel is Wilson, but it stayed like that while eating. Instead of sitting on the platform and dropping the shells outside the feeder, it is leaving the shells inside. Below is...

I'm still trying to identify the cause of my slightly soft images. Even when shooting a stationary subject in continuous (before my buffer fills), most images in the series seem to miss focus. I'm lucky if 1 in 10 photos is in focus. It definitely isn't the camera body. This happens on 3...

"Composition" Despite our current situation in today's world, this was going to be my topic anyway. You can choose your own genre of photography (macro, landscape, wildlife, etc) and shoot any subject you choose. When you post an image, you MUST state a Rule of Composition you used when...

If your town allows people to get out and walk while maintaining social distancing, here is an interesting project. Taking photos of people on their front steps. This particular group does it for charity although we have a local photographer who is charging for sessions...

I was finally able to photograph Wilson on the squirrel feeder. It's close to our backdoor so I went out the front and walked around. Even though he knew I was there, he proceeded to eat. While he really likes peanuts, it's the sunflower seeds he loves. It must not have taken him long to figure...

Here's my little friend Wilson - it's been a while since I was able to photograph him. The aging bird feeder will be replaced one of these days. ;) At least Wilson isn't complaining about it. This was the first time I've photographed a turkey vulture perched on a branch. Usually I only see...

Is anyone familiar with the song Saturday in the Park by Chicago? These were taken on Saturday...in the park. ;) And looking at my calendar, July 4th also falls on a Saturday [Saturday...in the park...I think it was the fourth of July]. I want to be sure to take some pics that day. :cool...

This was taken last week at church. Sadly they decided to cancel all activities at the church including Worship. At least our Pastor videotaped her sermon and posted in our church's Facebook group. Anyway...at the least the magnolia tree looked nice. :encouragement:

@cwgrizz there are a number of entries that are close with the total likes up to this point. So I am going to bow out of the challenge. There are plenty of great submissions so far. :)

@DaveNewman I hope it's okay that I reposted your images to make them larger for forum members to view. Hopefully it will allow them see any issues with shutter speed.

If you use the B&H Payboo card for purchases, be sure to check your invoices. The other day they offered the Vello screen protector for sale. I was supposed to save on tax and placed my order with that card. What I noticed is the correct item came with my name on the invoice; however, the order...

Above was one of my first images taken with the D7200 and the refurbished teleconverter on my 300mm f/4 PF. Back when I compared this refurbished TC with the first preowned TC, I swapped them out to make sure the refurbished one was the one I wanted to keep. Ever since I have had no end of soft...
