    Another shot from the Nikonites' 2017 trip to C-B-B Reserve. I guess that it could also go into "Reptiles and Amphibians." WM

    Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff - 2020

    Well, here's another gator baby photo, but not like you would imagine. This photo from sixteen years ago is of my son at his first college football game at the University of Florida. After about two minutes, or so, into the first quarter of the game, he informed me that he was ready to go...

    I should be outside in the yard, prepping for possible tropical storm-to-hurricane conditions. Instead, I'm inside playing with old images and new software. Nikon D500, Nikon AF-S VR 500mm, TC-14 III (Effective 700mm, f5.6), 1/4000 sec, f4, ISO 360 WM

    It's not an exciting photo, but this juvenile Bald Eagle looks meaner than an adult, to me. Nikon D500, Nikon 500mm f/4 AF-S VR 1/3000 sec, f/4, ISO 180 WM

    Gear Availability Issues

    I had to go to a neighboring city today for some recall work on one of my cars. While I was there, they gave me a loaner car and I drove over to the local camera shop, where I was surprised by the lack of new product on the shelves. They had one new Nikon camera (D780) in the store and just a...

    Hurricane Isaias

    For all of you Nikonites along the southeast US coast (Marilynne, Fred Kingston, Needa, et al), I wish you safety and good health as this storm approaches and impacts you. May its effects be minimal at most for everyone. Please let us know you are safe after the storm passes. You're all in my...

    The Story Behind the Shot

    This is a shot that has bothered me for years, because I missed it when I initially had the opportunity to get it. It was taken in June 2014 at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida. First of all, I learned of Wakodahatchee (Wako) on this site, from our very own Marilynne. I was...

    The Story Behind the Shot

    I got this idea from another post, and hope it will be used frequently. Please post a shot that you particularly like, or one that someone else likes and requests, and tell the story about how you went about capturing the image, or the circumstances around the image. WM

    D500 Autofocus Performance

    Yes, that is correct, Jake. At that point, I'd filled the only XQD card I had with me. I was in a hurry to get to the tournament and didn't check to see if the XQD card in the camera was downloaded before I left. Of course, it wasn't and it filled fairly quickly once I started shooting. My...

    D500 Autofocus Performance

    I spent most of yesterday at a water sking tournament in NW Florida, taking photos at the invitation of a friend who skis with the hosting organization. I used both my D500 and D750, and the Nikon 70-200mm E FL AF-S, Nikon 300mm AF-S G VR II and Nikon 500mm AF-S G VR lenses. Now I'm busy...

    Another from Central Florida. A bit soft, so I think I need to tweak the focus adjustment of this lens/teleconverter combo! And practice my techniques and procedures of shooting birds in flight! It was about as close as any of them came to the boat all day. WM
