On my way to the store the other day I passed by a field of corn that was bordered by several rows of sunflowers. Pretty much all of them were dead, except for one lone group of sunflowers too stubborn to give up. I had the D5500 in the car with me, so I pulled over and got a few shots just for...

Some of my test shots, alternate shots, and feline assist shots for this week's "Green" challenge. In retrospect I should have used my D5500 instead of the D500 for this set. To get these shots I had my tripod set up slightly to my front right, with the camera basically butted up against my...

Watch out...

Found a tenacious, and apparently very burly, flower that had managed to pierce through a solid concrete sidewalk and thrive.

Man, trying to find a dirt road around here for this week's "Dirt Road" challenge was an exercise in frustration. I guess we're just too developed, even in this otherwise very rural area. I only knew of one unpaved surface, a long unused dirt road that goes by a dilapidated and decaying old barn...

Can one of the British members here translate this onto English please?

I've had issues previously with EXIF data not showing up with my focus stacked images. If that's the case here, this is a 6-image focus stack, D500, 40mm f/2.8 micro, f/6.3, 125th, ISO 200

Attempts for this week's "Macro" challenge. First, while I was laying in the yard playing with my cat I spotted this tiny little mushroom under a leaf. I ran inside and grabbed the D500 and 40mm Micro, and popped off a couple of shots. I didn't take as many as I would have liked though because...

Went down to the local park today hoping to catch some kids games in action. I'm trying to learn how to capture moving subjects, something I've had little experience with. Unfortunately, there were no games going on at all. On a beautiful Sunday! But that apparently was the problem. All the...

I wonder if they would notice if one 500mm f/4 just happened to go missing...? https://petapixel.com/2021/07/27/this-is-nikons-massive-camera-arsenal-at-the-tokyo-olympics/ :greedy_dollars:

When I got home from shopping yesterday I saw a really pretty butterfly in our (appropriately named) butterfly bush by the front door. I had my D500 with the 70-300 sitting right inside the door, so I grabbed it and fired off a few shots before it flew away. But in my haste I completely forgot...

How's this for a devoted wife? When she heard what the theme was, she went out and damaged her knee just so I could take a pic of it. We got back from meniscectomy surgery a few hours ago, and I set her up with her favorite pain killer:

Had some ideas for this week's "Blur" challenge - my cat leaping, me swinging a golf club with the intervalometer - but ended up deciding on a moving car shot. I toyed with making some kind of rig to affix the camera to the hood (bonnet) of the car, pointing back, to catch our faces with the...

We get daylillies here every year - they seem to spring up wild. I've never seen the solid yellow ones before, those are very pretty! We get varigated green and purple ones usually, but some come all more all-purple:
