So................ The cat saw the ibis in the yard, but covered his head so he wouldn't have to deal with it.

Welcome. The D500 is a very well regarded camera, especially for wildlife photography. I was avid in the hobby back in the film days. Got out, and now am back in, and loving the digital over film.

Lack of VR wouldn't be a deal killer for me. The Z5 has In Body Image Stabilization. My preference would be native mount glass, but as you know, Nikon doesn't make any Z 70-300 lenses. My daughter has the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. I tried it out on my Z5 when I first got...

Thanks for the link. I watched a couple of the videos. The English subtitles on one looked more like a random word generator than anything else. The others weren't great, but good enough to understand what was going on. I enjoy do it yourself projects that require some ingenuity to pull them...

Getting bees in flight, and sharp is very difficult. Heck, they move from flower to flower so quickly getting them on a flower can be a challenge.

If you are wanting to do macro on a budget, consider getting a set of extension tubes.

How are you positioning your flash? Are you using any diffusion? This was taken with my Godox 685. It was mounted on camera and diffused with an AR macro flash diffuser. I can remove the flash and diffuser as a unit and position it where ever I like and then trigger with a wireless trigger. I...

Beats the heck out of many of the older British houses that are basically grey monoliths. I think it makes for an interesting image. It would make a good set for a horror or mystery movie.

A couple questions that may help folks narrow things down. 1. Budget What are you looking to pay? I would recommend not skimping on the lens quality for a lens you are going to use a lot. I do understand about not having plenty of free cash to dump on whatever you want, and sometimes...

Welcome. I have a Godox 685 and the wireless trigger. Setting everything up can be a challenge. After a while you get the hang of it, at least for the functions you use a lot. I use mine almost exclusively for macro work, so all I have to do is to keep it in manual mode, change the power...

They're all good, but the one with the snow was epic.

What, no snow in the background?

Mine had stone wheels and a handpainted mammoth on the side. That was all the rage back then, although I wanted the one with the sabertooth tiger.

Haven't been out shooting lately. On the way home I saw some wading birds at a nearby pond. Not exciting subjects or background, but I needed the practice, so I grabbed my camera and headed back out to the pond. Decided to try and shake it up a little with something a tad more creative. Not sure...

Here's the link for the download for FF, if you are interested. xlFr for Firefox

I had recently discovered a box of slides while looking for something else, and got distracted from my original quest by looking at them. It was fresh in my mind and I know right where the box was.

Forgot to add I'm using Exify and xlFr. I have two because I first added Exify, which automatically provides basic info at the bottom of the image when the cursor is over the image, which is very convenient. I later added xlFr, because it provides far more data, but you must right click on the...

Firefox. I have two different EXIF apps running. No problems. Also, no Google looking over my shoulder.

We have that same moon here in South Carolina. Go figure.

Thanks for the link. Enjoyed it. This make me think about the annual contest that the Carolina Nature Photographer's Association has each year. This is the "club" my daughter and I belong to. I am amazed at the talent in our local group, not to mention the Association as a whole. I entered a...
