Morning out at the park. Unfortunately, the sun was co-operating this morning, when nature was fully out in its glory. The Great Blue Heron has long been on of may favourite birds. I great enjoy watching it hunt and especially photographing it. Today was no exception! This was shot at ISO...

Thanks Kevin, (and Jeff and Marcel). Greatly appreciate the feedback. I post here to try and show off the extreme quality of the Nikon D800. It is really difficult to appreciate the quality of the images posted due to the resolutions I post in to keep the files small. I don't know if this...

ISO 6400 No typo.... 6400 I had no light, these are taken at dusk. Heavy clouds, and I make my first good find in a few weeks! In fact, this is my first good sighting of a Green Heron. Just my luck. Now that I know where he feeds, I will return. Shutter: 1/250 f8 Monopod! ​Nikon D800...

I am off on a Photography trip in a week and I have been cleaning my camera and lenses, getting my gear ready. I noticed I had some dust bunnies on the sensor and I purchased a SensorKlear Loupe Kit for $60. I watched a demo of it in action at a Trade Show I went to in the Spring and the guy...

I have been trying my hand on some portrait work. I took full advantage this weekend of a beautiful setting sun on the Lake to shoot some portraits. Nikon D800 Nikon 105mm f2.8G VR ISO 200 Some unbelievable evening light! ​ This one is my favourite, although I pretty much like them all...

A couple of images from the past week. The Cormorant was captured using my Nikon Nikkor 400mm f3.5. The images were take a few hours before sunset. These are my first good images of a Cormorant, for some reason, I have not had much luck with focus and exposure on this strange bird. Rainy...

Got an opportunity today to fiddle with my Daughter's Michael Kors watch again. I tried some images with the watch before I had my D800 (if memory serves me correctly). I thought I would revisit Michael Kors this evening. My goal was to see the quality of the lowest ISO I could push on the...

You have to Love the Scotts, no one parties like they do and they can entertain themselves very well with only a rope, a pole and a steel ball. They also play a mean bag pipe! :) A small taste of the Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Fergus, Ontario. ​

I took a trip to the grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens today, looking for Eagles. I heard this was the spot where you could see some. Unfortunately, no Eagles. But, we did stumble on to two deer. :) Well worth the trip! This is the Google Maps location...

I will post up 3 for you to comment on, Kodiak. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say. Great topic. These were all experiments for me. ​

A couple more images for you. Taken this morning. Using: Nikon D800 Nikon Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR ​

I am currently away on Holidays, which has given me an excellent opportunity to add to my Personal Collection of My Favourite Images taken with my D800. Here is just a small sampling of the Photography I have been lucky to have while I have been enjoying some time off. ​ ​

The RAW power of a D800 to capture the perfect moment. This image is of my daughter and two of her friends on a beach, minutes before sunset. 72 DPI simply doesn't do the image justice, and yet it is simply amazing to look at even at that DPI. This image was taken with my: D800 Nikon Nikkor...

Something a little bit different. I was at the Guild Inn Gardens this weekend. This is an old estate where the owners were patrons of the arts, helped starving artists and tried to preserve some of Toronto's landmark buildings after the developers got their hands on them. This is but a small...

BEFORE YOU SCROLL DOWN, JUST LOOK AT THE IMAGE BELOW AND SEE IF YOU SPOT WHAT I AM GOING TO ZOOM IN ON. I was at the Scarborough Bluffs today with friends and family. Great outing, got some amazing images. Every once in a while I see someone who does something completely stupid. Buy chance...

I purchased my D800 about a year ago (shy one month) and had to get in line to purchase it. I too was concerned about some of the stuff I heard from early buyers online. I called Nikon ... they explained their warranty to me, addressed my concerns and I put my money down. Almost one year...

Got up and went to the Lake at 7:30 this morning! This is one of my favourite images of the day!! :) Nikon D800 Nikon 300mm f4D Hand Held ​

Thank you, Tami Jo! Up at 7:00am this morning to head down to the Lake. The current local celebrities are the nesting Red Neck Grebes and they did not disappoint! These were shot with my Nikkor 300mm f4 and the Nikkor 1.7 EII Teleconverter... hand held. Nice to not have to deal with weight and...

And now, something completely different for me.... Portrait work. This is where the D800 simply excel's!! Taken with the Nikon Nikkor 105mm lens, the Nikon Sb-910 as the main and the Younguo as the fill. ​
