We have a small chapel nearby that is called Pompion Hill Chapel. It was undoubtedly named by the French Huguenots that lived in the area. It is officially pronounced as "Punkin" Hill Chapel. Go figure. I wish we had some waterfalls in our area. Still, there is always something good to...

That's some pretty water for a place called Mud Creek. Very nice images.

This is the B&W version of an image I posted in street photography. I think I like the B&W better.

I probably should let my photos sit for a couple days before posting. I often view them several times over a couple day period, and sometimes find issues/improvements that need attention. I usually don't bother to repost, but in this case thought I should. It's easy to get excited about new...

OK, I got to looking at this and decided to remove the, to me, distracting letters on either side of Hank's, as well as bringing up the shadows in the windows. Not big changes, but I think it makes the image better overall.

Looking on KEH camera, they have them in the Excellent to Excellent+ condition for between about $220 and $275. Not sure if it's the AF 20mm F2.8D, or the AF 20mm F2.8 model. You could call Nikon and see what an estimated repair cost would be, and then compare. I assume you have tried cleaning...

Reminds me of some of the pictures of me in the 70s.

I probably should have said I use the small area for all but the faster moving subjects. Birds in flight and such. Obviously, if you can't maintain the subject in the focus area, you probably need a different setting. Most of the birds I shoot are not moving that quickly, unless in the air. I am...

Try moving from a D3400 to a Z mount.

When shooting relatively static subjects, which I would consider all the pictures you posted as such, I normally use the small AF area. Anything else risks the camera grabbing something other than the intended subject. The only issue I have with that is that the little joystick that moves the...

I lost my dad in my 30s. It hurts. It does get better, but you will always miss him.

The S line of lenses are far more robust in construction, and are weather sealed. I consider the 24-70 F4 I got as a bundle with my Z5 a real bargain for the quality of the lens and price paid. Since this new lens is Nikon branded and has an additional stop, many will consider it to be a more...

This lens is lighter and much less expensive than the S line 24-70. My guess would be that this is a very popular zoom range , and they believe it will sell very well. It should make a very attractive kit lens. I, personally, would prefer to see them coming out with some affordable long lens...

Unless you got it cheap because of the fungus, I would return it. Fungus growth can etch the lens coatings. Several of my dad's cameras I got when he passed had fungus growing in the lenses. This equipment was stored in unairconditioned rooms in central Florida. Some of them were too far gone to...

Color me impressed!

Well, looked through the rest and came up with these 2. Not sure they are better. This one still has the offending tree, but with some moss hiding part of it, it isn't as distracting. This one still has an edge of the tree, but it doesn't seem to distract. Nice expression on the face, but a...

OK, I tried that. That tree is less distracting, but the bird is facing toward the short 1/3 of the picture. Better overall? I, personally, don't find the tree that distracting. I didn't really notice it at all until it was pointed out. I do agree it would be better without it. Let me look...
