On Sunday, stopped by one of my favorite falls,, and the angle of the sun was right to place it fully in the shade, which allows better control of the water. I did not have my primary gear, but a light weight (ultra) tripod,, and my trusty D700 with a 28-105 lens (a decent zoom),, the exposre...

Summer is slipping away so fast... soon will have to be thinking of the fall pictures. I don't think I have yet captured summer yet, a few snatches here and there,, but the glorious days of summer are passing too fast this year to fully appreciate. I feel more and more like that, its like...

here is a shot from the 80-400,, a quick snap on the lake,, full out 400mm on D7000, cropped to 80% of the image Nice sharpness, I defnitely enjoy this 80-400 and consider it a workhorse now, and will always keep it handy. ​

The art show was interesting,, you can really see the composition elements in the work, and the way the artist can force the situation versus the photographer,, although some photographers stage some amazing photos, or force via PS. One picture that struck me was that the artist on purpose made...

Today,, I am thinking of visiting a museum to see some Wyeth paintings,, sometimes,, looking at art can give one ideas for photos.. Maybe its a look, or angle, mood,, Art really set the stage for photograhy, 1000's of year of Man/Woman making art so that others could relate. One could argue...

light,,, so fickle,,, so much a matter of timing,, out on the lake yesterday, it was ok light,, but nothing to brag about,, and the pictures were well ok,, laughs, nothing to brag about.. but better pictures than if I had stayed home doing chores :) I remember a photographer that said he loved...

Sometimes a few more tweaks on a page, the light was pretty flat on the whale shot, and really no color in the water, Water tends to reflect the day, so, since it was kinda a blah sky,, the ocean was kinda blah,, blue sky would have been nice, but one can't contrlol the weather. so,, I...

still looking thru the weekend shots, the 80-400 did great,, locked in 95% of the time,, these are like split second shots, with the whale.. and since you don't know where the whale with surface the camera had to lock quickly, here is one shot. without the 400 mm, could never had...

road tirps... are such a great way to fill up the photo queue,, throw in a harbor boat trip, and you can overflow. I remember the kitds show Thomas the tank engne, and how they look, this shot,, and technique remends me a bit of the show but with fishing boats.

Beautiful Saturday, and off to a Whale Watch! Lens will be my 80-400 on my D800. I am so glad to have this lens, and it is a great workhorse. I have the older version,,, with a kirkland collar which is a great handle. What amazes me is hoe compact this lens is,, really fits in my backpack...

I more and more run into some of the photographers that have attended my all day classes. Often they have their cameras in hand, practicing what they learn. Always fun to discuss their latest photo adventures and answer any pent up questions.. Do have to set up the next class. I was going for...

I have a fair portion of the legend lens of Nikkor, and I keep thinking I should spend more time concentrating on using these lens. Once on have a decent set of zooms, it becomes a tradeoff and well,, when you are in a hurry, the Zooms go on. Where I am most likely to use Primes, it is when...

I was in a dark place, no tripod,, so on one of these few occasions that I pushed the ISO up to 5000 which for me is very high (typically shoot between 200-1200 ISO, but in this situation, you take what you can get. Course, if I could use a tripod, and set the ISO back to normal level...
