This Snowy Egret is definitely focused on that fish...............I guess hunger sharpens the senses!

It is mighty good too, nice and tart!

Coming aboard the "Big E" (USS Enterprise, CVN-65) back in 1986. I handed my BN (Bombardier Navigator) my FA and told him to snap a few photos of me "in the groove". I had a centered "ball" but was lined up just a little bit left, easy fix with a little rudder or split throttles. Looking back I...

How did Marvin Martian get in this image???? I braved freezing temperatures and shot this last night with the D500 and 400mm f/2.8 ED IF AIS Nikkor. 500 light (1 sec @ f/2.8 @ ISO 1250) frames and 40 each dark, bias and flat frames and stacked them together in Deep Sky Stacker and post...

Another one from the Atalaya Castle. This is right near the entrance. Door and window detail. Nikon FTN, Tri-X and 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor S

D850, 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor. A single 200WS strobe with barn doors and a 10º honeycomb grid

I changed the image to another one more in line with the requirements. It is from the same session so the exif is the same. D850/105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor

It is not a "castle" in the sense that we think of castles in Europe, but it is nonetheless referred to as one. I got this photo from the web, I did not take it.

On Huntington Beach State Park lies the remnants of Archer and Anna Huntington's castle. It is now little more than a shell, all the glass is gone from the windows and nothing remains in any of the rooms. It is quite interesting to walk through, however. It was the winter residence of Archer and...

It is raining like crazy here and I was kind of bored so I decided to do a quick and dirty comparison between my 10.5cm f/2.5 Nikkor-P and 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor. I cut a notch in the aperture ring of the 10.5cm so I could mount it on the D850 and meter with it, a pretty easy task using a Dremel...

It was a busy place for an hour or so with a wide diversity of birds coming to feed on suet. It drove one of my cats to a near nervous breakdown! :excitement: Bluejay Carolina Bluebird Carolina Chickadee Carolina Wren (my favorite of the images) Yellow Rumped Warbler

Photographed on a light table, lit from below and behind. The ball on the Martini glass is colored blue so I got an idea to put colored water in it and another glass. I cut a small piece of clear plexiglass and raised the corner of the Martini glass up and then removed it in post processing...

White Ibis taking flight. D500, 600mm f/4 ED IF AIS Nikkor

Chocolate should be a food group!

I doubt you will get that much gear into a baby stroller, and I would certainly be suspicious of how secure it will be from falling out :eek: . When you are lugging around 50+ pounds of gear (3 camera bodies, 4+ very large lenses (10+ pounds each), tripod with gimbal mount, foldable camp stool...

Two glasses, two rings (really 3 including her engagement ring) two roses and 2 flames.

Not a major purchase, but I did score a great deal on a TC-201 in near mint condition for about $50. I plan on putting it on my 500mm f/8 Reflex Nikkor, which is in essence a short Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, to use for astrophotography. Some test photos taken today show essentially no...

A cup of morning "Joe"

I braved a 19º wind chill yesterday to get this sunrise with the D850 and 24mm f/2 AIS Nikkor. In the foreground is an 80mm crystal "lens ball". I have not checked yet to see if I can tell fortunes with it! :)

I just now noticed this so there is no telling how long it has been going on because I don't use my D750 all that much, my D850 and D500 get by far the most use. When I go to the menu for Battery Info, the only battery that is displayed is the EN-EL15 in the camera body. I first thought that the...
