Oh yeah, I did some IR work in July.

Slightly less green.

I have a 150mm square light pollution filter. What it does really is filter out a narrow band of light that equates to those magenta-pinkish street lights that were even more common before LED street lights. Those are sodium-based lights that are nearly monochromatic. That band is still...

As green as it gets. https://imgur.com/iWWSwP9

An urban hawk, and somewhat tame. Only had a 70-200mm lens to use. Z5 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G VR

Bad things are going to happen. Very bad things.

Anybody want to trade their ham 'n cheese for a worm?

A day of experimentation. I tried out my Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon on the IR D600. It has a hot-spot, so I don't think I will try that again. I hoped for good, dramatic clouds with storms in the day's forecast. The morning was simply a solid overcast with no texture. Another wind farm near...

Prime Day normally does not feature the big name brands. As usual, I did not see any lens I might be interested in. But I did think to browse for a new backpack. I have never been overly pleased with my Lowepro Mini-Trekker that I bought 2nd-hand about 13 years ago. So I bought this "PGYTECH"...

I cannot decide which wind turbine series I like better. Color one day, infrared the other.

There were storms in the forecast for 7-11-2022, so I brought the infrared camera along to work. Clouds did not happen as I planned though. Spring Green, WI lunchtime The blackbirds are extra-black in infrared. Downtown Madison, WI at end of workday.

Since July 4th events were a rainout, I spent some time photographing the flowers at my sister's home between rain. Using my Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon as close-in as I could. Physically about 3-4 inches from the planters

An attempt to show the balance points of the lens at 150mm and 600mm. This is with a D750 plus an attached L-bracket mounted. This is a heavier back-end than you would have with D3400 or similar smaller body camera, so I would expect that at 600mm it would be necessary to slide even further to...

A wind farm near Fennimore, Wisconsin.

Windmill farm near Fennimore, Wisconsin. Nikon Z5 + Carl Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 Distagon

Many of us have the Sigma 150-600mm C lens. It's one of the best value super-telephotos out there. For all of it's great points, it does have a shortcoming in the tripod foot. Literally, it's too short. Don't we just have to install a long Arca-Swiss quick-release plate and it's all good? Not...

I have 6 devices each with it's own wallpaper. Three PC's, a tablet, 2 phones. My 2 laptops use 2 variations of this pic. Portrait formats for my personal and work phones. This is on my seldom-used tablet. I don't have the wallpaper for my main photo editing desktop PC available online...

The gimbal arrived 3 days ago on Wednesday. That was 2 days of ground shipping from Atlanta to Madison, WI. Instead of paying the full $250 for the SK-100 Wimberly Sidekick at Amazon, I just checked for any used ones around. KEH of course typically has the best inventory of used gear and came in...

Now that I have an extra-beefy tripod and ball-head, I am thinking once again about picking up a gimbal head. I think I last visited the idea seriously in 2018 when I decided on the big ball-head instead. Instead of the full swing-arm Wimberly-type, I think my Sirui K-40 ball-head can easily...

Also 2 weeks ago, a village park at Blanchardville, Wisconsin. I should have kicked that trash bin over a bit for more symmetry.
