shot through a picture window

I use my Tamrac Pro 8 for my 7200 and 200-500.

Who needs flash when you can crank up the ISO to 12,800? Also helps to shoot at f/1.8 and 1/30 sec (thanks steady hands).

D750 w/ 85 1.8G @ 1.8, 1/30 sec, ISO 12,800. My son and one of his boxers.

You're right....I was expecting something like this.....

D600 w/24-85VR Mint condition Nikon D600 with Pixel grip and Nikon AF-S 24-85 VR lens. No oil or shutter issues although I did send the body back to Nikon for a free shutter replacement in 2014. Only 16,761 (total) shutter actuations as this is one of several bodies in my bag.Will sell body and...

This guy's been watching me all afternoon, so I thought I'd practice hand holding technique. I need more practice. And a cleaner picture window. :)

I've been shooting track events for about 10 years and it takes time to learn how to pan for motion blur while maintaining a sharp, moving subject. For me, it's pivot at the hips and a SS of 1/125 - 1/160. Fast enough to keep the focus point sharp and slow enough to show the wheels spinning...

There's a road under here somewhere. Shot in SouthWest St. Louis County, along the Meramec River.

4th of July party - shooting ultra wide.

There is no substitute!

Benro GH2 in aluminum. Couldn't see paying another $125 for the CF version to save 3 oz. And hopefully won't regret not spending another $250 for the Wimberley.

Here's the Think Tank Retrospective 50 (my latest bag purchase), with the gear that fits inside. Great bag when you need to haul 2 bodies and lots of lenses, etc.

Non traditional shots of our tree from a few years back. Zoom plus lens tapping for effect.

Here's one from a trip to the local bird sanctuary And one with a 1.5 teleconverter (a D7200)

Highlights appear blown a bit. Easy correction in post. I'd also bump up contrast, clarity and vibrance/saturation. Maybe put a light on the backdrop (or a hair light) to give some separation and open the lens a bit (adjust flash accordingly). Or next time get the subject to stand further away...
