I really have not picked up any camera since December but I am hopeful that will change soon. I am REALLY getting the itch!

I have not had much in the way of opportunities to do any photography in Nantucket, and let's face it, there is not really all that much to photograph here. I am leaving here in a week and a half and headed back to the Sunshine State. I have a contract in Tallahassee that begins on Feb 15. Talli...

Yesterday I had a very high probability melanoma removed from my stomach about 2 cm above my navel and another highly suspect one removed in my right armpit. No one ever told us when I was playing tennis for UNC that it is a very bad idea to play/practice 5 hours a day in the NC sun with no...

Anyone here have $23,000 they don't know what to do with? Man I would jump on this like a duck on a Junebug if I had the scratch! Ultra RARE Nikon Nippon Kogaku SP w Nikkor N C 50mm F1 1 First Black Paint SP | eBay

I sat on a camp stool for about an hour waiting for just the right moment to trip the shutter! The weather was absolutely perfect, for a once in a lifetime image!

I am looking forward to tomorrow night's "supermoon" and eclipse! This was taken with the D300, 600mm f/4 ED IF and TC-300, an equivalent focal length of 1800mm. The moon literally fills the frame! Exposure was the moon "rule of thumb", 1/ASA @ f/11

The last in the elk series. This is the patriarch and matriarch of this herd. When I first got there and they noticed me, they placed themselves between me and the rest of their herd. When they did not sense a threat was when they all started moving towards me out of curiosity. The bull came...

Again, with the D700 and 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS

I have never really messed with focus stacking before but I thought I would try it. This is not a particularly interesting subject but it lent itself well to what I wanted to do. I used the 55mm f/2.8 Micro AIS and took a total of 10 images, altering focus near to far in very small increments...

Even if you really don't know why. The corn is growing right up to this old barn. From the road it looks like the roof and part of the barn are "floating" on a sea of corn stalks. Shot with the D300 and my 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF Nikkor

I was out shooting. I got out to this preserve before sunrise and set up and waited. It was worth the wait! These were shot with the D700 and the "beast" (600mm f/4 AIS) at shutter speeds as slow as 1/13-1/40 sec using my Movo gimbal head. That head is the best $100 photography investment I have...

I use 8 AA NiCad's in the MB-D10 battery packs for my D700/D300. I have a battery holder that holds a Nikon battery instead of the AA's. The battery for the D700 and D300 is the EN-EL3a but I thought I have heard that the EN-EL4a could be used as well for longer life and higher frame rate. Can...

The "beast" never fails to deliver! The 1/ASA f/16 for the BSD rule has a companion. For moon shots 1/ASA @ f/11. It works every time!!

I pass this scene twice a day going to and from work. The light is wrong in morning but great in evening. This time the light was just right. Hazy sunset with that beautiful golden glow. Most people would just drive by this and say "cornfield, so what?" What I see is a juxtaposition of colors...

Sometimes great scenics are as close as the side of the road. You just have to keep your eyes open! D700 and 18mm f/3.5 AIS

My wife has always had a casual interest in photography. The first "starter" camera I got her was a Nikkormat FT3 (which I still have and love) with a Series E 36-72mm f/3.5 (which I got rid of about 5 years ago). Up until now she has been using the old Nikon D5700, which as point and shoots go...

D700 and 18mm f/3.5 AIS shortly after sunrise

I shot this image of Caitlin with the F4E and 85mm f1.4 AIS and Tri-X rated at ASA 200. The subtle grain in the out of focus areas adds so much to this image and the tonality is terrific. This image will look fantastic printed on Oriental Seagull grade 2!

I shot this one this morning as well, a young cotton tail rabbit chomping on some grass. D700, 600mm f/4 ED-IF and TC-300

Not sure what kind of birds these are, but I caught them this morning with the D700 and 600mm f/4 and TC-300 through the car window while parked by the side of the road.
