keep on clickin' - s0oner or later it will be in the frame and in focus....

Well, despite my dearly beloved's insistence there was no more room in the display case I had to make room for this 1954-57 Yashica MAT 66. It comes from a close friend of mine who sadly is facing his last days in palliative care so a rather sentimental acquisition. I could wax philosophical...

What have I done? Have so much free time I can learn a new photo processing program. Not. But here we go with the new ON1 2018 version. https://www.on1.com/ Anyone here use this software?

using the 200-500 for close ups - from 4 meters away

Love my 200-500 on the D500 but sometimes it just does not go wide enough to get the whole scene in one shot. Thinking this set might make a nice three panel picture.

Now there are two young photographers stalking Papa for pictures. This is one taken with the Vtech (the one in my granddaughter's hands) she's got the pixel peeping part down.

Been planning on replacing my "A10 Rig" a PC I built in Jan 2013. It will be retired to the 'scanning room' where it will run my scanner for when I get around to digitizing my stash old family photos. My new rig will be a Ryzen 7 . I built it with video editing in mind. Now that I drone and...

Time for a wrap up - results post. The lenses I used on my trip were the new Siggy 18-250 and my 70-200 with the Kenko extensions. I also took a 35mm 1.8 which I never used. All images were either the superzoom Siggy or the heavy 70-200. In Legoland I only used the Siggy. The results are...

First from a batch that will come from my trip to Circle B Ranch in Florida. Have not yet identified this wee bird.

Took my D500 with a new Siggy 18-250 all rounder lens into Legoland Florida. That lens worked well on the D500 even if it was a bit of a mis-match. I knew that swapping lenses would not be easy in an amusement park. I was not expecting so much nature - including Ospreys. There is a full...

One of the Legoland Ospreys.

Packed a 'rain-bag' for the camera thinking I was not going to let rain keep me from photography on my trip to Florida. Glad I had it at the "Chima" water fight boat ride. The riders have water cannons on the boats - the viewers have water cannons to shot back. Everyone gets soaked. There is...

Flea Market find for my vintage camera collection, from Birmingham Alabama. I remember wanting one of these but never did get one. Now I have my own - with two film disks - I wonder if they could be developed now?

I had just bought the Nikon AW100 when I stopped for groceries. This Raven was on the cart return and was very brazen - and noisey. I was about four meters away.

Always ready to grab a bargain and saw this one on offer on a local FB Buy and Sell group. Did a bit of background checking - it is a little dated (circa 2010) but it does what it is supposed to do (I have learned there is a firmware update for 2017 I'll have to look into). It hs 16 megapixels...

I suppose some would say that it is silly to think about adding a teleconverter aka TC to a lens designed as a walk about to save you the trouble of swapping lenses. And the lens I have claims to be a macro so why an extension tube? Well I have TC's and I have ET's and I even have a snap on...

Playing with my new Super-Siggy - Sigma Superzoom 18-250. Zoom Zoom (not not taken from exactly the same spot but close enough)

All my babies are manual Lensbabies that is tempted by a vintage 300mm F/4.5 on offer in our local buy and sell . ...

:p

Took my new Siggy Superzoomer out to shoot the birds in the backyard and the bird in my computer room. Also shot that cell tower across the highway from my home. Sparrow at the feeder by the garden shed And the bird in my room A mega Sir Crop-a-lot shot - very clear closeup (not...
