Corporal Claypot, at the guard!

This one was in my gallery already, but I don't think it has been posted here. It's from February 2014 and was taken from White Point, across the bay from Destin, Florida. WM

In my trip south to visit my parents, my daughter was channel surfing and I stopped her cold when I heard a great song I hadn't heard in many years. The song ended and the announcer came on the air and declared that they "play the songs that you never thought you would hear on the radio again"...

My neighbor had a car in that show. He told me about the 10-mile line of cars to get into town, too. Quite the show, though. I opted to visit the Chautauqua Winery show in Defuniak Springs, Florida last weekend, where I took a few photos.

This Thursday, October 23, a large part of the world will experience a partial solar eclipse. In my neck of the woods, the sun will be setting while in this state. I plan on having my D90 out with the 300mm f4.5 at one of my favorite sunset spots. I just hope that the skies are as clear as...

This ebay lister has a lot of $2.50 B-I-N items: Nikon Nikkor 200 mm F2G AF s VR II If Ed Lens | eBay They cannot be bona fide. In fact, this one says it is for sale for $1600 in the description, which is still waaaay too low!!! WM

Can any of those who have used the Nikon digital cameras without anti-aliasing filters share any advice that might help those of us having problems with them? (Me!!!) I just can't seem to get over having issues with my D7100, and know that it's likely my techniques that are causing the...

I'm browsing gear sales sites this AM and notice that there are a lot of pro bodies on the market (ebay, B&H, Adorama, etc). In particular, I noticed a lot of D800s and D800Es for sale, as well as a lot of D700s for sale much lower prices than I paid for mine 18 months ago. I figured that the...

Going through a bunch of older shots, I found some of these... from a cloudy day. WM

Refurbished Cameras from Nikon | Used DSLR Cameras has a 10%-off sale going on through Sunday. WM

A Rare Opportunity that I'll have to pass on at the moment. Nikon Nikkor 300mm F 2 300 2 Ed If AIS with TC 14c Teleconverter 1 4X 14D064 | eBay I don't believe that these are offered for sale very often. I don't remember ever seeing one advertised as such before, and no wonder they are...

There was a strong/large coronal mass ejection from the sun earlier this week, and while it wasn't directed straight at the earth, it could result in auroras visible south into the northern and middle lower 48 states within the next few days. Visit http://www.spaceweather.com get the latest...

I've resolved to purchase a rolling bag since my back hurt all day yesterday after lugging a shoulder bag around on Friday night. If you have one, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Please state what bag it is and what you like about it, as well as what you don't like about it. Thank you. WM

are signs, and last weekend, I saw a great one, but was driving and couldn't stop to photograph it. it said: I'm too old to know everything. So, does anyone have photographs of clever/insightful signs they have seen? If so post them here, alone with their location. Thanks WM

Then read this: No One is Making a Bad Camera, You're Just a Bad Photographer He's very blunt and up-front, (ranting, according to the editor) but, there's more truth here than I want to admit most of the time. What do you think? WM

I got my D7100 three weeks ago and until last week, hardly touched it. Well, last week I was able to use it two nights for about 200 shots total, and I was not happy with the results at all. Everything I shot, with both Nikkor 28mm f1.8 (handheld) and Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR2 (monopod), was soft...

I'm at my parents' house in central Florida for the evening and they had a July Fourth parade drive through their neighborhood so I took some shots. What says "Happy July Fourth" better than a decked-out pickup truck and a John Deere tractor carrying a stuffed ape in a cage? After the...

I've read that the Nikkor teleconverters do not change the focus on Nikkor lenses, so should I only fine tune my focus for the lenses without the teleconverter attached, or should also do so with the teleconverter attached? WM
