The First Snow thread got me thinking about cold weather and snow in general. I'm going to plan a mult-day hike with my camera gear and I hope to get out in the snow. Being from Florida I don't have any experience with snow. Any tips or tricks of the trade dealing with cold weather and snow...

I'm curious to know what moth this is, if anyone knows just blurt it out. This guy let me move him with a stick off the wall and onto these flowers. BM7_2691 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_2690 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_2684 by BMalinis, on Flickr

This guy was a very cooperative subject. If I got too close he'd fly away then land nearby for the next photo. BM7_2450 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_2511 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_2467 by BMalinis, on Flickr

I sold my D7000 earlier this year but recently found a LCD cover (BM-11). If anyone wants it just PM me your address and I'll drop it in an envelope. No charge. If I don't hear from anyone in a few days I'm going to toss it.

Downtown Jacksonville on the riverwalk I caught this guy with my Sigma 150-500mm. I don't think I've ever seen a blue bee before. BM7_2189 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_2188 by BMalinis, on Flickr His cousin the yellow bee BM7_2161 by BMalinis, on Flickr

I had about an hour this morning to kill so I decided to do an impromptu high ISO test comparing the d600 and d7100. I wanted to make constant as many variables as possible. I shot from one room into my kitchen with the same lens, focal point, aperture, metering and focal length. I shot from...

Just curious if anyone here subscribes (or regularly picks up) any type of photo magazine. If so which ones and do you get paper or electronic version? I currently do not, but wouldn't mind and it makes a great gift idea. ;)

Dave_w suggested my previous scorpion pic was from Area 51. When I took this one this morning I thought the same thing. 20130819-BM7_1249 by BMalinis, on Flickr 20130819-BM7_1244 by BMalinis, on Flickr And some cobwebs 20130819-BM7_1264 by BMalinis, on Flickr 20130819-BM7_1261 by...

Lookee what I found in our tub. Second time at this cabin and second time we find a scorpion in the tub. This one appears to be snacking on another one. Either that or he's growing a tail out of his face. 20130818-BM7_1180 by BMalinis, on Flickr

Caught this guy this morning. The interesting one is the eye. If you look at the water drops you can see a magnification of the compound structure inside the eye. BM7_0697 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_0692 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_0696 by BMalinis, on Flickr

I finally got out this morning to take some bird shots with my 150-500mm Sigma lens on my new D7100. Typically the way I set it up is to Auto ISO up to 3200 in order to keep the shutter speed quick (around 1/800). As I understand it my D600 should perform better at the higher ISOs and that at...

I just remembered there was a Macro thread so I decided to drop these pictures here as well (had them over in the d7100 section). I've been using a 105mm f2.8G lens with various combinations of Kenko extension tubes. For lighting I sometimes use a speedlight 910 with a soft box diffuser angled...

Well I tried to keep the animal/camera title threads going but I couldn't think of anything for this little arachnid. All I could think of was the happy face on his back shell. Talk about frustrating. Trying to focus a 105mm with 48mm of extension while this web is waving in the wind. My...

Shot a small frog in my backyard last night. His eye looks to be at aperture f5.6. :rolleyes: BM7_0136 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_0143 by BMalinis, on Flickr

I've been waiting to catch this green lizard on a white wall. Finally caught him with my 105mm with a 12mm extension tube. His back reminds me of a sensor with photosites. Looks like he has a few busted pixels. :D BM7_0158 by BMalinis, on Flickr BM7_0157 by BMalinis, on Flickr...

While I'm waiting for my other body to get back from Nikon I decided to pick up a D7100 for a backup. So far I like how it handles. Here are a couple of shots I took with my 105mm with 32mm of extension tubes. I'm sure the results could be much better if the guy holding the camera knew what...

Around 9,000 actuations I really didn't see anything worth note about dust/oil spots. I had done 2 wet cleanings to that point. So basically I never paid much attention to it until about 15,000 shots and I did a spot pic and was amazed by all the spots. So I called Nikon, sent in a pic and...

This looks like an interesting kickstarter project. It looks like it has plenty of funding. I might have funded $300 for the lens if there were any spots available. I think that would have been worth it for an 85mm f2.2 lens designed after the old time Petzval lens. The link has some...

I just got this LCD cover in the mail and so far I'm impressed with it: Flashpoint Optical Glass 6 Layer LCD Screen Protector for Nikon D600 846431079389 1. It's $3.00 cheaper than the stock Nikon LCD cover. 2. The way it's designed it covers the LCD, the viewfinder and has an LCD top cover as...

I was wondering what other D600 users were using for bird shots. I'd like to get feedback from other bird photographers to see if my settings could improve my end results. For birds I'm using a Sigma 150-500 5-6.3 OS lens. I have a user setting stored to: F8 AF-C WB-Auto Center weighted...
