    D3200 clock battery?

    Here is a link to the relevant page in the online manual. It says there is an independent rechargeable power source that automatically recharges from the main battery, or external power connection to the camera. It doesn't specify what type of power source it uses. IE capacitor or battery...

    Removed elements from a busy background.

    Not sure about the AA filter. I have picture control set to Auto. Since I shoot in RAW, and edit everything, I don't think it makes much difference in the final product. The Pup and I may go back next weekend, weather permitting. If so, I will try and reshoot this image paying special attention...

    And here it is with a different aspect ratio.

    Removed elements from a busy background.

    Well, I think it is sometimes valuable for everyone to see different ideas on how to process, or even shoot a subject. I know I learn a lot from feedback on my images. The image is not sharpened. I shot this with the new Z7ii, and between the high res sensor and the nice sharp 24-70 lens...

    Removed elements from a busy background.

    Thought I had straightened it. It wasn't off by much, but here it is. I just noticed after previewing the post that the straightening removed what little space there was at the top, so I took a digital chain saw to it. I tried to do the same to the log on the left hand side, but that didn't work...

    Your fledgling GBHs are a little behind the ones around here. This is from two weeks ago. The one on the right is a fledgling, not one of the parents. The other one is a bit of a runt.

    Removed elements from a busy background.

    This is one of the pictures I took at the boneyard beach last week. I like the image, but found the background a bit busy. I thought it would be near impossible to remove some of the clutter and have a natural looking replacement. Thought about the generative fill in PS and thought I'd give it a...

    The Pup wanted to go to the boneyard beach this morning. Who am I to argue? Unfortunately, the tides weren't right for a sunrise trip, we got there about 8:30, and the sun had been up for about 2 hours or so. Wow, how the beach has changed in a year. I tried some full sun shots of the trees in...

    This arrived on the porch today. I thought, "Why in the world did the Pup order a 24-105 lens?". I brought the box in and handed it to her. She asked why I opened the box. I said, "It was sitting on the porch just like this.". She replied, "Happy Father's Day.", and handed it back. I then...

    Another external hard drive recommendation

    Good info, DDB. Fortunately, neither one of those things are a concern for my application. I plan on leaving my SSD drive constantly attached to my computer. I am currently backing up all the important info on it periodically, and can delete large amounts of data from the SSD as needed. I have...

    Let's see some reptiles...

    This is him from a different angle. I wouldn't call him tiny, he's maybe 3-4ft long. I regularly see them much smaller around here. Not a very good picture. It was heavily backlit, but this guy was maybe 2-3 feet long. Shot him on Friday at Cypress Gardens. No, not the one in Florida.

    Went to the Francis Beidler Forest this morning. The prothonotary warblers were active making nests. The water snakes were whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears, and the Moccasin was just chilling. Noticed something interesting when I got home and got a close look at a series of...
