First entry. Doves are widely recognized as a symbol of peace. So here's my pet dove, Ava, in a relaxed, peaceful pose.

Again, from my favorite thrift store. $20. All three rings with the stock 18-55mm lens that came with my D3200, a picture of a dime. [For those of you not familiar with American coins, the dime is the smallest-sized coin, with a diameter of approximately 0.7 of an inch, and a monetary...

Part of the problem may be that Nikon cameras are racist.

A fellow with whom I work, who is even more into photography than I am, and I, were having a conversation in which I mentioned that I have a wonderful old camera that probably won't ever again be used to take pictures, simply because I'm not really into all the fuss, delay, and expense of film...

Assuming you're using the stock lens, you could just set this switch to “M”, but the lens would be easily jostled out of focus, so I don't really recommend that. Better, once you have the focus set as you want it, leave that switch in “A”, and then on your camera… Push this button… Go to...

Shortly after I saw this week's theme title, I thought, not of people or creatures walking, but of the sort of walkers that old people use. I figured that I'd probably be the only one to think of that, and also to have access to a significant number of them. I guess @nikonpup showed otherwise...

My D3200 has a sensor on the front, where you indicate, and another on the back, near the upper left corner. As a result, it can respond to an IR remote in front of it, or behind it. I doubt if the D3300 differs in this respect.

Vertical panorama of a church building where I attended a party earlier this evening. This covers a wider vertical angular range than is quite apparent. The round planter is fairly close to the building, and I was not more than a few feet behind the planter. I was shooting upward at a...

Not far from La Mancha, there is this house that is beset by a pair of monstrous giants. One can hope that a Mr. Quixote, a resident of La Mancha, will take notice of this situation, and take care of it.

Not my best submission, ever, for one of these challenges. The challenge, for me, involved time. I had pretty much blown this one off. But I looked at the clock, and saw that the time was 15:22. Less than forty minutes before the deadline. I decided it would be a challenge just to set...

Re: “BOB LOVES SEANETTE!”—Re: February 2016 ... "Love and Romance" Second entry… Me, Seanette, and the teddy bear from the first entry…

Alas, not really. Note, also, that the focal length is given as “0.00mm”. It's what happens when I use any of my old non-CPU lenses on my D3200—the D3200 fills in nonsense values in place of the data that a CPU lens would have provided. In this case, I used my new (for me) Albinar...

A 1980s-vintage Mini Maglight in “Candle Mode”.

“BOB LOVES SEANETTE!”—Re: February 2016 ... "Love and Romance" First entry… In 1994, I was thirty-one years old, and finally in my very first ever real romantic relationship. We went to the State Fair in Santa Barbara, and there I was drawn in by a carnival-game-barker, who...

From my favorite thrift store… A previous owner of this lens was apparently a mute donkey, who managed to get a UV filter screwed too tightly on the front, and was unable to remove it. There was evidence that he had used a considerable amount of force, and only managed to do some...

One man's trash is another's treasure. What better representation of this than a thrift store, where donated items, no longer wanted by their previous owners, are cleaned up and sold to new owners who do want them? Amazing treasures to be found, at times, in the things that others discard.
