We've had a lot of rain here the past few days, and more is expected today and tomorrow. I originally was going to go out and takes some pictures in it, having read that the D500 is pretty well weather sealed. But...what about the lenses? I've seen videos of nature photographers doing their...

"Pardon me, are you going to finish that?"

Practicing some things for the "Macro-ish" challenge this week. Got a few things on the card, but this is the first I processed: a dandelion head with the 40mm Micro f/2.8. The second shot is the setup.

I tried to put this up earlier in the day, but I couldn't get it to post. When it didn't appear, the site told me I was double-posting when I tried another attempt and wouldn't accept it. I hope this one makes it. This morning I was alerted that Target was having a clearance on the Nikkor DX...

Finally.

I can't thank everyone here who chimed in enough. Your generous input was invaluable, and very much appreciated. I picked up the D500 about an hour ago. I love it. :triumphant:

I figured it was about time I tried the Multi Flash function on my speedlight, so I gave it a shot for this week's "Coins" challenge. It was a lot tougher than I expected, because the coin kept wobbling into and out of the focal plane. I literally bruised my thumb flicking that heavy silver...

Hi Gang - Through a ferocious dint of self denial, I've finally saved up enough to purchase a used D500. I've been scouring the various sites for the past week or so. Then a couple of days ago the local shop I used to do business with pre-COVID listed a like-new D500 for a price better than...

Went down to our local cemetery yesterday because they have a really nifty wrought iron gate that would have made great shot (I think) for the "Gate" challenge this week. But when I got there, the gate was open and a service was being held right behind it. I didn't want to be so crass as to...

Detail of a mausoleum gate at our local historic cemetery.

Went out yesterday during a break in the rains to get some pictures of the gate to our local state park, which hasn't opened yet for the season. Not sure yet if I'll use any of these for this week's challenge ("Gates"). . .

I saw our newly adopted cat staring out our back bay window this morning, and when I looked out it looked like a couple of squirrels were running in circles around a dog. They were in my adjoining neighbor's yard, on the driveway next to his shed. But when I looked closer it turned out to be a...
