The "go-to" camera/lens rig I have used for a long time is a D500 (which I use for the crop factor), 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor with Nikon TC-300 2x teleconverter. Including the crop factor, the total magnification is 36x (over full frame). A very sturdy tripod is a must and either a corded or...

Waxing Gibbous "Christmas" Moon. Nikon D500, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor w/ TC-300

Coming aboard the "Big E", summer 1985. I handed my BN (Bombardier-Navigator in the A-6E Intruder) my camera and told him to snap a few photos of me coming aboard the "Big E" (USS Enterprise, CVN-65). It was a beautiful day in the Mediterranean that day, which made coming aboard actually a lot...

This is the best I can do without an actual telescope. D500, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor and TC-300 2x. Total magnification, including crop factor, is 36x. It took 3 exposures, composited. Jupiter, its moons and Saturn had considerably different luminance's. While I was out there, there was a...

Couldn't sleep the other night and got up and shot the moon. D500, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor (aka "the beast") and TC-300. With the crop sensor factor, lens magnification and teleconverter, a total of 36x magnification. 1/100sec @ f/8 @ ISO 200.

Taken back in 2006 with the F2A, 105mm f/2.5 AIS Nikkor and the superlative Kodak VPS (Vericolor III Professional Film, Type S) film. Man I miss that stuff! Back in the day when you could still get Process C-41 chemistry at reasonable prices!

Well I did, around 2am. It cost me about a half unit of blood to the mosquitoes but it was worth it. D500, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor and TC-300 2x, the equivalent focal length in 35mm is 1800mm. Exposure was 1/125 @f/11 @ISO 125

A White Ibis taking flight

Not sure why my post disappeared but here it is again. Farmers and Exchange Bank, c. 1853. Old Charleston, SC

This photo of a beautiful 7 foot female sand shark was taken several years ago with my Nikonos V, 35mm f/2.8 UW Nikkor and High Speed Ektachrome off the coast of Pensacola, FL. She was actually quite curious and non-threatening. Most people freak at the thought of being in the water with...

The "Angel Tree" live oak in Charleston, SC. It is estimated to be between 400-500 years old and has a shade area of 17,000 square feet!

I had surgery on my left wrist yesterday to remove a nickel-sized ganglion cyst. It had gotten pretty painful and aggravating. It was sitting right on top of the radial artery and radial nerve which complicated the surgery somewhat. The surgery was done under local anesthesia though they did...

he Nikon FTn was not the first 35mm SLR, that honor goes to the Kine Exacta, but it was the first true system SLR with a wide range of interchangeable lenses, finders and screen and set the standard when it was introduced in 1959, the year after I was born. This was my first Nikon, a 1969...

I am quite happy with it, the framing rate is a little slow compared to the D500 and D850 with the D-5 battery in the grip, but I use CH infrequently, nor do I have the need to use 1/8000 sec except very rarely. It is a great back-up body for the D850.. I just got the microprism/split image...

Mama Mia! Now it is time to EAT it!

I want to St. John's Island (near Charleston) and photographed the Angel Oak Tree. It is a 400-500 year old Southern Live Oak that is 68 feet high, 28 feet in circumference at the base and has a canopy shadow area of 17,000 square feet. It is an AMAZING tree! I wanted the pictures to appear as...

Hey all Do any of you know if there is a commercially available adapter to connect a standard 10 pin synch connector to the D750? I have done a pretty exhaustive search and have come up with nada. All of my other triggers and assorted things to the D850 and D500 use the standard 10 pin...
