Took my cat outside this afternoon for a walk around the yard. Being outside is such a rarity for him - this was the first time in a couple of weeks - that he's still somewhat overwhelmed. He sticks right next to me for security, rarely venturing more than a few feet from my shoes. But today...

Just in time for this week's "Flowers and Trees" challenge, some flowers and trees showed up in my yard! Always takes longer for things to bloom up on our mountaintop compared to the areas below, so I wasn't sure if they'd arrive in time. But they were very considerate this year and popped their...

"Let's eat somewhere else, honey. Don't ask...."

The world's worst superhero:

A few more of these and I can buy a hotel!

. I keep forgetting I have to go back into my menu and change to Export with EXIF! Sheesh. Sorry: D500, 70-300mm AF-P at 270mm and 300mm respectively (the latter heavily cropped). I've started calling them the "F-Troop", as the kits are now growing more adventurous and frantically running...

Two more, from Easter morning.... .

@FredKingston Hey Fred, gotta thank you for all the advice you gave me when I first started playing around with DeNoise. Your insight as a Beta Tester has really helped me refine my technique - particularly knowing when, and when not, to use it. A lot of your advice I carried over to Sharpen AI...

Kids. Always under foot. EDIT: I forgot I turned the Export with EXIF Data option off in camera last time I used it. This picture was taken Friday April 15, 2022 with my D500 and Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm at 300mm, f/6.3. 1/640th, ISO 640. Now to go turn that function back on. Sheesh....

The fox family that lives under our neighbor's shed has been a source of real entertainment the past few days. The six kits are getting bigger, and apparently feeling their oats as they are constantly running about and pouncing on each other...and mom. Mom is only infrequently seen though, as...

Wow. I use Topaz DeNoise once in a while, and it always impresses me when I need it. So I gave Sharpen a try, dowloading it recently. Haven't really used it much yet, but I decided to give it a whirl this mornning on some wonky pics from a batch I took of our neighbor's foxes yesterday. This...

I've been practicing my portrait shots lately at the request of my wife, who apparently needs a number of them for some reason. Rather than have her sit through interminable sessions while I fiddle with lights and settings, I thought it would be more humane to get an inanimate stand-in...

If only the pizza really did look like this!

Lying on the floor next to my cat gave me a good opportunity to grab a few shots for the "Details" challenge this week. Fortunately I had my 40mm Micro on the D500, and it was close at hand. But even tuckered out from an hour's worth of attacking my hand and tussling like mad, it was hard to get...
