Not sure. I wasn't looking to minimize noise with the flash, I just had it silent mode initially, when I wasn't using the flash, trying to be less conspicuous. I wanted to take a picture of my cousin and her son outside, and there was some dappled light, so I thought I'd try a flash with a...

I was taking some pictures at a "wake" this week. I thought I'd try a few flash shots with my Godox mounted on the Z5. I had the camera in silent mode and the flash wouldn't fire. I wondered if the silent mode was the issue, and tried going back to normal mode, and it worked. I guess it's...

There weren't any cars around in the year 510. ;)

Not that great a shot. I visited my nephew in Florida this week, and had an owl nest in the lot behind him. Wasn't a good idea to jump the fence and get closer. I ended up pulling out the old D5600 and took advantage of the crop factor. Would have liked to have spent some time waiting on mom to...

I suppose we could always put a dead opossum inn our back yards and wait.

Close. It was a shot of the gutter in front of my house after a rainstorm. The pollen coated the top of the water, and caught my eye when I went out to check the mail. I swear you could put this up with a group of aerial photos of estuaries and you wouldn't think twice about it being taken from...

Any guesses as to what altitude this image was taken at?

Yes, I tend to lean toward the first one as well. There are elements of the others that I am drawn to, but it's a matter of trade offs to get some of those elements.

You're right, it is a black vulture. I wasn't really thinking about the difference between the two when I posted. Both are common sights around here. These were taken at the Birds of Prey Center. I'm not that good at stalking wildlife.

I've got a few.

She was better looking than me.

Not sure if the forum will allow me to post that many images in one post, so I thought I would make this a two parter. The last thing I tried was B&W for a couple of them. I think in both of these the color version is better. The only advantage I saw was the ghostly quality of the glassware in...

The Pup and I went downtown this last weekend, and while we were walking around I noticed this interesting window and reflection. I tried several iterations of it, and wondered what the consensus, if any, there would be on the best way to go. Here is the wider scene. There is a lot going on...

This could go either here or in street photography. I'll post it here.

The Pup and I went downtown for some street photography. I decided to bring only the small bag with camera, and a couple short lenses. We briefly went down to the harbor and there were a flock of what I believe are bufflehead mergansers. I borrowed the Pup's D5600 briefly with a 70-300 just to...

Sometimes a picture captions itself.

The Pup and I made it back down to downtown Charleston today. I've got a few more to edit. I find myself emulating the Pup's style a lot when shooting there. Here are a few. I tried a lot in B&W, most were a toss up between them and the color. This one was hands down B&W. I took a bunch of...

I've had a few GBHs let me get close enough to run up on minimum focusing distance with my 200-500. Most aren't that friendly.

Mating season for them will be starting here soon. I usually only take gator pictures when there isn't much else to take pictures of. It's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel at some of these spots.

Went out to Cypress Gardens today. No insects other than a few bees higher up in the camelias. Did spot this osprey and a gator.
