When for editing some more this morning:

I do not know what these Common Blue were doing, but she started laying eggs immediately after:

Merry go round, It rains a lot for the moment, part of my idea was to use the D70s a bit more risky, so I took it out and took some pictures from under my raincoat. I had this vision when I passed the merry go round, it worked OK I find (more contrast in the sky would work better).

I wanted a second body and picked up this at the local dealer for 96€ working (lens was mine already): First impressions: - Great machine - Mirror is a lot more noisy then the D7000 - AF goes super fast (on 18-105, 70-200 and 500mm) just like D7000 - ISO 640 is good if there is light (in...

Waiting, this is a place I saw a fox several times, but did not wait very long this time (bird of prey came along but not close enough): Taken with my new (euh euh) D70s

Skating ring, not in shape the last days.

More general on telephoto for wildlife I tend to agree with the above, it is better generally to work on ISO 400 with 1/3000 s then to go down to ISO 100. It off course depends on the effect you want, but subject movement together with camera movement generally asks for very fast shutter speeds...

I cracked on my GAS addiction: Cotton Carrier vest for 2 cameras. Here with the 500mm and the 70-200mm as test. Still had to do some adaptation. The universal adaptor plate I attached to the body and it works on the Manfrotto RC2. I took the 500mm with TC 1,4 out tonight and I still have to...

White balance try, yesterday I thought it worked well, with the rain I tried something simple inside.

I seem to have missed your references for that. I agree that a D3300 will make incredible pictures, something we might not have expected from an entry model 3 years ago. Actually in normal circumstances the top level does not do noticeably better in picture quality for normal use. (there are...

Nissan Nismo, moved to auto ISO limited to 1600 ISO today, I´ll see if I like it. Here is an other one of today, but also do not like it (not enough bokeh). I have plenty from the grasshopper day, might go through that again.

@hrstrat57 it seems to me we need some night street scenes and some close up shots Anyway plenty of D700 material out there, I bet we see a lot of it in the adverts that chase us everywhere. Glad to see you amuse yourself with your new toy :o

Monthly colourful brokeh, not yet there: First does not come out natural, I do not like the look. Second I did not get it framed correctly to make a correct crop.

Grasshopper trying to get comfortable and failing.

I thought this thread must exist, but I did not find anything. The goal would be to look at your budget, what you like to do and then what solution that leads to, what you do currently and what your future plans are => just to pick up ideas from each other. Pictures are a plus. My budget is a...

Ferrari California, not nifty fifty(ish), but was more secure on the side of the road.

Be clear what I see currently as best prices second hand: D700 => 900 € (goes up to 1200€) D600 => 1200 € D800 => 1500 € (goes up to 2300€) D800E => 1700 € (goes up to 2500€) With a lot of D800 owners moving towards the D810 this is currently strong under pressure. @Bill16 I believe that...

Bee on purple flower, had to give in a report at the regulator for work, this was next to the car park. Added blur, something I do not do a lot.

Audi TTRS, tried to stake out cars while cleaning up my nature gear for stake outs in the woods. Thanks for that, my first picture had only the eyes sticking out from behind some grass.
