As I recover from flu that had me home-bound this past week, I dove back into my photos. Really, nearly all photos were good that night, but I kind of rushed my processing out of excitement to share. I processed every last shot I took that night and I have them hosted now. Here I wanted to show...

I have a Z105mm and I used to have 2 different Tamron 90mm macro lenses. There is a lot of glass involved with getting a 1:1 macro focal length, so they tend to be heavy. You can drop down to a 60mm or 40mm macro, and there are versions for DX cameras like yours. But there is another issue with...

A couple of weeks after buying my first D80 + 18-135mm lens kit, I managed to drop it directly on to the front of the lens. It was inside of a Lowepro "Toploader" case, so it is properly loaded lens-down. Even though it was lightly padded, the lens did not focus after that. I should have tried...

He is just changing his Tinder profile to single/unattached. :p

There were only blackbirds to watch at Madison Audubon Goose Pond last Friday.

A D500 or D810 for sure will improve the AF experience, but unknown if they would be better to the point where it justifies the extra cost. On Friday I was at the Madison Audubon Goose Pond and there were just some blackbirds out to chase. My 70-200mm f/2.8G VR was having a rough time keeping...

@Clovishound The Z180-600mm is not an option here. There is no way to adapt Z to F. Only the other way around. There are at least a dozen reasons why the AF is missing the mark. The contrast between subject and background, how many AF points the D3300 has (less than other bodies), subject in...

@Marilynne Really I am posting right between the Battle of Midway and D-Day in Normandy. :) @Clovishound Would love to let you at the Zeiss 15mm, but I love it too much to let it out of my sight! That is not lens-correction filters being used to straighten the images, it's the optical...

Some shots from a park I stopped at for lunch. I'm always looking out for neat places like this when I drive around for my job.

Some storm clouds in infrared.

There is certainly no problem with continuing what you have done and look for opportunities. You have all the time in the world to find subjects that bring out your best effort. It's not only about what you find interesting. If that were the case, I would be taking a lot of art-nude sets. But...

Another thing to look for, but unsure if it's on the Z5: Modelling light. Some cameras have that available. A ring light attached could also be blocking a modeling light on camera body.

I suspect it will be solved in the setup menu. Three things come to my mind is focus-assist light (may only be a thing with autofocus), EVF (there is something that displays as being exposed or auto brightness), or maybe try auto-ISO on.

Infrared Huey. Green County, WI Veterans Park.

I never got a response on my email. It did not bounce back either. It does not have to be the worst possibility, but most of the others are bad enough. Like in the nursing home following a stroke.

Outstanding job! I even was cracking up reading the blog with the contest winners. Thanks for finding that @Marilynne .

The 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 sell for surprisingly low as used currently. I saw both listed on the used list at my local camera store. The 24-120mm is also selling for the $650 range as used. I look as I eventually plan to trade in my F-mount gear. Kind of disappoints me as I realize the...

The May 10 solar storm aurora.

Pretty much has to be the eclipse.

I at least use the same EQ wedge and counterweight. (y)
