Well, even when wearing my new snake proof boots, it's still a good idea to pay attention to where you step. I ran into this little guy this morning while out shooting. Yes, it's not a poisonous variety, but it was a good reminder. I copperhead would have been very difficult to spot in this leaf...

Before you spend money on new batteries, check your camera for energy draining modes. Things like Bluetooth and wifi will drain the battery much quicker and can be turned on and off. You may have already checked this out, but thought I would bring it up.

Welcome. The bird photography can get a little addictive. I recently got back into photography, and got a long tele last year. Now it seems that birds are almost the only thing I ever take pictures of.

I shot film for many, many years. I understand the appeal, but doubt I will ever shoot another roll of film myself, unless it's helping my niece using my dad's old Rollie TLR.

We have a local raptor rescue center that has demonstration/teaching activities a couple times a week. They also have a monthly photography day. Yes, some may feel like it's cheating, but I look on it as a great way to get some good close up images of raptors.

I don't think they have that feature on the D3400. I quickly looked through the menus and didn't see anything about disabling the monitor. I also didn't see any buttons or dials that would turn off the monitor. I believe that is only on the mirrorless cameras. The only other thing that comes...

Yeah, I was walking along the path and saw this little guy soaking up some sun. I stopped and grabbed a quick insurance shot, but before I could change position to try and get a clearer shot, he decided to hit the water. I tried to clean it up in PS, it was going well until I got to the eye. I...

I would first remove the battery, then hit the shutter button and hold it down a few seconds. Reinsert the battery and see if the monitor comes back on. The next would be to reset all functions. If that doesn't work I guess the next step is to call Nikon customer service. Good luck.

The wood ducks were more cooperative today than usual.

Discovered this in my new boots this morning. Not to worry, this species is Thamnophis Gummis. More commonly known as the rubber snake. The Pup was trying to have a little fun with me. There will be retaliation.

If you do a lot of denoising (Is that even a word?) of your photos, I would highly recommend getting Topaz Denoise, or their trio of Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel, if you haven't already.. I've been using them for about a year, and couldn't imagine post processing without them. I could probably...

Well, I tried B&H and it was $150 less than KEH.

I watched the above posted review of it today. He gives a lot of comparisons to the 200-500 I currently have and use with the FTZ. Sounds like it is an upgrade in terms of VR, AF, weight, zoom ratio and build quality. On the other hand it is not a big upgrade in terms of sharpness. As a wash, my...

Sorry, I didn't have my sarcasm emoji handy.
