I always thought these helicopters look like some kind of weird dragonfly. I'll stick with fixed wing, thank you.

Any exposure longer than 1/200 sec will sync with your D3300. The 685 will do High Speed Sync, if you put it in that mode. The down side is that you lose flash power in HSS. I don't know if there is a formula for how much you lose, but I have noticed that in manual mode, if I turn on HSS and...

pollo de los árboles chicken of the trees

Undoubtedly a reference to "dia de los muertos".

This guy was posing for me again.

I will say that digital takes away the need for a lot of filters. Right now, I can only see the need for ND and polarizer filters. At least with the shooting I do.

Congratulations.

Decided to set the macro aside this morning and head over to Magnolia Plantation and be there around sunrise. I really hate to get up early, but managed to drag myself out of bed and make my way over there. I don't know if I'm just out of practice, or there just wasn't much going on. I know...

They were considerably cheaper than the old standby filter brands like Tiffen and Hoya, and seemed to be of decent quality. A friend bought me a set of no name filters off Amazon. While I greatly appreciated the thought, they were absolutely horrible. Plastic filter material, and they ended up...

With the weather cooling off, and sunrise getting later, the Pup an I are looking to go back to Boneyard Beach to do some trees in the surf photography in the coming months. I decided I wanted to do some long exposure shots, so I ordered a 10 stop ND to fit my 24-70. I ended up with one of those...

It's not just street photography they are destroying!

Do you have a second battery to try? The other thing would be to clean the contacts on the battery and the camera. Other than that, I would call Nikon CS.

Stuck in Lodi. Again?

The 685 is a great flash IMO. I have one that I use primarily for macro work. TTL and auto should be a good place to start. If it gives you the results you want, then stick with it. I will mention that the 685 has two built in diffusers. If you look carefully at the head there are two little...

Here you go, I tracked him down and brushed it off.

I think it's just some trash. Here's another angle on it.

Not sure what a MIG 21 has to do with automotive, but it's a neat shot. Where'd you get it?

Another robber fly and sweat bee. This was a 7 exposure handlheld focus stack.

Trying to get some more macro shooting in before the insects disappear. I've said this before, but I really need to try shooting some more available light macros. This one was somewhat backlit by morning sun. I took a few with the flash and then switched the flash off, cranked up the ISO and...
