I have more of this guy/gal but wanted to post this one! :beguiled: Who's having a bad hair day? We've had several windy days here.

According to Nikon, they make a D810A which is dedicated to astrophotography. Curious to hear if anyone has one and whether or not it takes star images better than a D810. :confused: https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/d810a.html

Flashpoint makes a case for the Flashpoint eVOLVE 200 Pro which should fit the Godox AD 200. Just curious if anyone has this case and whether or not there are better options for cases out there. https://www.adorama.com/fplfcev200p.html

This one is 600x 400. @nickt or @FredKingston any idea if internet providers, modems, and/or routers would automatically downsize images that are uploaded to the web?

Platypod announced a new ballhead design that will be launched on Kickstarter soon. There haven't been any details yet, but the link shows a pic. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/platyball/platyball-elite-and-ergo Their Facebook post says: Image from Kickstarter web site:

While I was out this afternoon, I decided to shoot wide open (with 1.4x teleconverter, that made my f-stop f/5.6). For this particular SLENDER subject, the DoF wasn't bad, and f/5.6 was fine. Here is the same view shot at f/6.3. The background branches do show up a little more especially...

Pretty sure this is the same immature Red-Tailed Hawk I photographed the other day. The chest markings are almost identical. Plus it was in the same area. I took my eyes off the hawk to watch the cars driving past (I was standing on the opposite side of the road). Within that time, it flew...

In December Steve Perry uploaded a wildlife presentation video from a seminar he did for a Chicago Photography School. For anyone who is new to wildlife photography, he explains and shows a variety of tips.

Kevin H you've been very helpful in identifying hawks on a couple of occasions for me. These are all photos taken over the past couple of years. Can you help ID or confirm what types of hawks they are? For some reason, I've always been under the impression that Cooper's Hawks are larger than...

Here is the back of this hawk.

I'm such a Goober! :unconscious: I can't believe I edited the wrong image. This is the one I meant to edit and post since its head was more visible with much better light. :o

Although I didn't see the juvenile eagle today, I did see this Immature Red-Tailed Hawk. There was a bulldozer moving forward and backward maybe 20 to 25 feet in front of the hawk. I was surprised with how long the hawk stayed put. This was also shot thru a chain link fence. I pressed my hood...

Yes, it sounds really bad. @kevy73 updated something on his Facebook page a few hours ago, but I don't know how far away he is located from the fires. Scott Murray isn't around nearly as often as he used to be with his amazing photography. I hope he is hanging in there.

In this photo, I thought for sure it was getting ready to take off. It crouched down as though it was going to spring off the utility pole. It adjusted its wings, ducked its head a little, and began to move its tail. But nope. It didn't take off. :eek: So what did it do? :indecisiveness: It let...

Well...I learned my lesson. :beguiled: Yesterday I came upon this juvenile Bald Eagle but had trouble keeping steady. So I shot it with a higher-than-I-needed shutter speed which translated into a high ISO. And what that means is more noise. :( So I changed my settings (lowered my shutter...

Jake, do you think there might be some similarities between the Z50 and the Z6/Z7? If so, @Danno has delved into some of the setting changes. Maybe he can point you in the right direction?

This must be the image to which you referred. My first true learning experience with photography was by using a Minolta 35mm film camera that focused manually. It only offered two modes: Aperture Priority and Manual Mode. For anyone who really wants to understand photography, weaning off of the...

To answer your question, I'm going back to Moab Man's earlier post. He mentioned using f/2.8 and focusing on the tent which was about 40 feet away. He said at that distance, everything falls into focus (meaning everything up to infinity that is beyond the focus point). I use Simple Depth of...

I'm still dealing with a knee/leg problem but felt I could walk a little today. So I went out looking for potential leaf images for the weekly challenge. Any leaves around here are brown and lifeless. When I saw this scene, it literally sucked the breath right out of me. It took me back to my...

One thing I'm not sure about concerning the Sigma lens but @BackdoorHippie might be able to tell you is whether or not that lens can be attached to the dock for firmware updates. Some older Sigma lenses have limitations if they don't have the latest firmware updates. For example, Live View might...
