I got up before the sun this morning to see if I could catch a couple of Golden Hour shots of a decrepit barn a few miles from my house. Most of the year it's hidden by the trees and undergrowth that have sprung up around it, but in the winter and early spring it's more visible. There is a large...

I've had pets pretty much all my life. Mostly cats and dogs, but also the odd fish, lizard, ant farm, sea monkeys, and even once a red legged tarantula. But since our last corgi died a couple of years ago and his cat sister disappeared shortly afterwards, our house has been devoid of animal life...

The evolution of uniforms.... Still fits, too. On the hanger.

Off topic, and not an entry, but I can't resist.... We always had Triumphs growing up, starting with a TR-4. After that were Spitfires, a GT-6, then more TR's. My dad still has two TR-6's and works on them himself, in his 80's: (Obviously not a Nikon shot!)

Been a busy week at work, so I didn't get a chance to take any flower pics earlier for the weekly challenge. But today, Saturday, I got a break so I gave it a shot. Of course the weather, which had been sunny and mild all week, turned overnight. I woke this morning to drizzle and cold, and no...

Maverick!

Might as well jump on the foliage bandwagon. We're still buried in snow here, but this is what I expect to see in a few weeks again:

I've been in quite a photography funk the last couple of weeks. I don't know what it is, but I just haven't felt like pulling the camera out. However after work yesterday I forced myself to stick a lens on the ol' Nikon and have a go at this week's challenge. Maybe immersing myself in the...

"I think this is the wrong manger...."

Nice shot, MrsRobs! The only thing I might do if that shot were mine would be to crop it a little tighter and maybe add a vignette. Both will make a smaller subject (the bee) stand out a bit more: You might want to try this some time: rather than running around after the bee, stay...

In college I was an SLR enthusiast, partly because the Pretty Young Thing I was wooing was an SLR enthusiast. I purchased an Olympus OM-2s mostly because she had an Olympus (I think an OM-4), and I could use some of her nice lenses. But I also purchased a few lenses of my own, albeit cheaper...

I'll offer a dissenting opinion, but a qualified one. My D5500 fills its buffer after only 4 or 5 shots when shooting RAW in continuous mode. When I made my first attempt capturing hummingbirds in flight this past summer I quickly discovered why BIF people upgrade to the D500. However switching...

I've always liked the paintings of Rene Magritte, the Belgian surrealist. I have several framed prints of some of his more famous works around my house that I've owned since I was young. One of his most recognizable works is a painting of a pipe titled "The Treachery of Images", or "This is not...
