This one's for @bluzman especially, as it's from the legend in his profile pic. There's a young lady from Japan who's been an absolute blues legend herself for over a decade now, named Shoka Okubo. Aside from her own eponymous band, she's joined any number of famous blues artists on stage both...

You wouldn't think that dinky thing was so majestic if you could see OUR native fauna. Fifteen hundred pounds, pal. It poops 30-40 pounds of grass a day. Behold! And she may look complacent, but don't let it fool you. Get too close to that fence it's all over. Methane levels over an area...

"The End"

This young lady was very enthusiastically running around the street fair I went to yesterday, Canon in hand. She looked like she really knew what she was doing too, from the way she held the camera and the way she was trying to frame things up, looking for the light, etc. I think she was there...

I didn't think I'd be able to enter this weeks "Street Fair" challenge, because there ARE no streets in the little rural community I live in, let alone fairs. But of all things, I saw in our local newspaper Friday that the town adjacent to ours - small, but not as small as us - was holding a...

Hey Danno, yes she is! A 4-time New England Womens Champion, as a matter of fact. It's actually how we met. She was living in KC, MO competing on the midwest circuit, and we used to chat in a trials chatroom. That Beta motorcyle you see in the pics above is the one she gave me as my wedding...

So I recently purchased a studio strobe, and thought I'd give it a trial run yesterday. Since I intend it for mostly portraits and product photography, I set up my ever willing test subject "Heady Lamar" on the table and put a shoot-through umbrella on the strobe. I've never used a strobe...

Found this on a one day flash sale for 33% off. I'd been thinking of getting one for a while, so it was quite serendipitous seeing it online while I was checking out lower priced, lower power units. On sale, this comes in with more power than them for less money. Can't wait to start playing with...

I have to admit, I like all the versions, even the original. This is my favorite of the bunch though. Just for fun I tried a quick edit. Mostly I just wanted to crop it a bit to make the main subject more dramatic. But while I was in Lightroom I gave it a few tweaks in other areas for fun. I...

An Olympus OM-2s Program! My dad got me interested in photography very young, sticking a Brownie in my hands and letting me follow him around on his shoots. But in college I fell head over heels for a Pretty Young Thing who was a film major, and had an entire Olympus setup. I went out and got...

For this weeks "2 Color" challenge (who in the world thought that would be a good idea?), I kinda went down a longer road than I intended, lol. I spotted one of my cat's toys - a comical little stuffed fish on a comical little plastic fishing rod - and thought it would make a good subject, as...

Had an outing yesterday with my local camera club. We went to High Point State Park at the top of, and highest point in, New Jersey. Got special permission from the Park Service to bring in two of my dirt bikes, and some performance cars for a photo shoot in a portion of the parking lot. A...

Yes. Don't use single point AF, for one. There are a couple of our members who specialize in bird in flight photography using the D500, notably Wev and Woody. Hopefully they'll chime in with suggestions based on their extensive experience. I've been having fun with BIF photography using my...

Cool story, and a very understanding girlfriend, lol! I hear you about road bikes and their rather alarming habit of killing their owners. I actually have a very nice road monster, a 1977 Kawasaki KZ-1000 that my father gave me as a wedding present. It had been his, and he restored it to...
