Captured this beauty on the weekend. The female Cardinal is every bit as attractive in her own way. This was taken with my: Nikon D800 Manual Tripod Nikon Nikkor 400mm f3.5 Nikon 2x TC ISO 500 1/400s f8 It is cropped at 8%, full frame image. This is basically what I saw in the viewfinder...

And, the name of the NEW POPE IS....... Nikon 400mm f3.5 + Nikon 2x TC, on Tripod

Something a little different. This is taken with my 400mm f3.5, hand held. Wild Grass with a little snow. Thes were taken with my NIkon 14-35mm f4 VR. Came across this lovely animal on a walk today. Beautiful dog. This is an interesting looking bridge over Mimico Creek. Trying to...

I have had this lens, Nikon 500mm f8 reflex for some time. Trust me, make no mistake, this is a difficult lens. There are a number of key issues to consider: 1) yes, it is a fully manual lens - so what - you need a little patience to set up a shot - I have a D800, works fine on it - I had a...

A few more of the Egret. These were both taken while the bird was nesting. Notice the plumage. The egret is one of my favourite birds. I have many, but this one ranks up at the top.

Here are a couple of a very lovely creature that has survived the test of time. Amazing eating machine.

Thank you both, Muzza and Marcel. I met up with a great nature photographer from another forum I frequent. I was in Florida, just returned. If anyone ever has the opportunity to visit Gatorland, in Orange County, I strongly recommend it, you will not be disappointed. Here are a couple more...

A couple more for your viewing pleasure. Taken with my Nikon D800 and Nikon 300mm f4 lens. This is an Ibis, my first encounter with this bird as well as my first encounter with the Snowy Egret, below! Snowy Egret Thanks

Still WINGED but not feathered.... I was in Niagara Falls, Ontario this past weekend and one of my favourite places to stop is the Butterfly Conservatory. A few images for you to enjoy. These are all taken with my: Nikon D800 Nikon 105mm f2.8 Nikon SB-910 flash all with: - no left focus...

Thank you, Charles, greatly appreciated. Here are a couple more. I was lucky enough to get a window of opportunity with the bad weather we are having and finally got a little bit of sunlight here and there on the weekend. These are all taken with: Nikon D800 Nikon 400mm f3.5 Ai-S Tripod...

Every once in a while, the photography subject gods grant me a moment to savour my camera, my hobby and my love of nature..... A Red Tailed Hawk in all its Glory! Nikon D800 Nikon 400mm f3.5 Nikon 2x Teleconverter 1/800s f 4 ISO 200 Manual Tripod Mounted This image filled my viewfinder and...

My advice, get the Nikon TC. The 1.4 is amazing glass. You can not tell the difference when you put it on and it turns your lens in to a 420mm f5.6. One sunny days, the lens sings. You will definitely not be disappointed. This below is a Common Redpoll, again, taken with the Nikon 400mm...

stmv, All of the images BEFORE this post were done with my Nikon Nikkor 300mm f4 lens and my Nikon TC EII 1.4 teleconverter on my D800. Most if not all are hand held. The images below were shot with my Nikon 400mm f3.5 lens on the D800, but on a tripod. Beautiful Cardinal Lovely Dove...

Cardinal in all its Glory

Image of a Merlin. Image of a Merlin on a sign: A couple of Great Blue Heron

A few of my favourite images from this past weekend. A Red Tailed Hawk who was hoping to get a Black Crested Night Heron for lunch, but failed. He went into the tree a large number were roosting in. Nothing of note happened, other than I got to take this shot! I just love this picture of a...
