No idea what this is. Found it growing at the base of my raspberry bush. A tiny little thing, but very vibrant. Any guesses?

Unidentified weeds at the base of my raspberry bush. I thought they were pretty. Tiny little suckers. .

For this week's "Balls" challenge I wanted to try taking a picture of a golf ball at the moment of impact with a driver. I set up my D500 on the Gorilla Pod tripod and spread the legs til it was just above the ground, pointing at my practice mat (with a non-PGA approved but very hip SpongeBob...

And a few more touches. I think this is my entry.

Tried Rick's suggestion of removing the "tree" portion of one of the shots, and adjusting the background color.

For this week's "Silhouette" challenge, I decided to try something fun. My idea was to do a macro shoot of an old tiny slot car, set up against a softbox with some old Christmas fake tree clippings for foliage. Of course as soon as I started setting up, my cat decided he needed to investigate...

This was not taken by me. It was taken by a Reddit user named "SolidGains71" and posted to the r/Nikon subreddit.It's an HDR shot of the moon in its crescent phase, so he first took a picture as we would see it with our naked eye, with primarily only the crescent portion visible. Then he took...

Look! Up on the fridge! It's a bird! It's a plane! Nah. It's just Dell, taking a nap. With some trash stuck to his paw. Again.

Another try, this time with studio lights (bare bulb with snoot camera-left, speedlight on low power, pointing right to bounce-fill the right side of the pic). edit: Not sure if I prefer this one, with a little higher exposure:

Trying to refine my technique a bit.... .

A lot of flowers are starting to bloom (finally) around here, so I decided to try my hand at some high key work. The first pic, of a daylilly, was taken in situ in my garden. I placed a whiteboard behind it, and fired the shot with my Rogue Flashbender attached to a speedlight, over-exposed two...

Well, that's different! In that case this is the one I used to use when I had a corgi. Made me smile every time AND it had room for all my thumbnails :)

Thanks Andy! Yeah, that's been my experience also. Early in the season I can't even blink without scaring them off. But after a week or so nothing seems to phaze them. Two years ago I was sitting on my porch, holding a wired remote shutter release attached to my D5500, and one of them started...

Tried the 3D Tracking feature of my D500 yesterday for the first time. I don't know why I've never given it a spin before. Maybe because I once saw a video calling it "garbage", and that colored my view before even using it. Up until yesterday (including my previous post), my method of taking...

Lol. Mine is a web grab of my favorite band goofing around. Wish I'd taken it!
