To my surprise I discovered recently that there's a wolf preserve not too far from my house, so this past Sunday I stuck my 100-300mm on the D5500 and took a ride over. The wolves were beautiful to look at, but because this was an "educational tour" and not one of their "photography tours", it...

My Golden Years:

Hey Mike, since you allow edits I thought I'd take the liberty of correcting some of the technical shortcomings I spotted with your shot here: See the difference? You're welcome. :)

I ordered a TC-200 (2x) teleconverter from Roberts Used Photo Pro on a whim the other day when I saw they put it on clearance ($38), and it just arrived today. I know the limitations of this thing: 2-stops less light, and no auto-focus with my D5500. But I was surprised by one issue. The...

More than meets the eye:

I was surprised to discover, after 21 years of living here, that not 2 miles from my house there is a Revolutionary War-era burial ground. It's very small, perhaps 20 feet square, containing 6 headstones within a low stone border, and several other headstones just outside the border...

Still Life with Oenophile :)

A couple more from today. I didn't nail focus on some, but them's the breaks.... . . .

Went out to shoot birds, ANY birds, for this week's Bird Challenge. But the weather conspired against me, and I didn't find any until I pulled into my driveway after I gave up and went home! I did manage a few shots of other things, though. These are a couple at a local (frozen) lake, where a...

I spent almost three hours this morning canvasing our local lakes and ponds looking for a bird. ANY bird. But a hard freeze overnight and light snow meant I didn't see any. None. In disgust I finally gave up and drove home. As I pulled up to our driveway though, I spotted a hawk waaaaaaaay up...
