I love otters, they are so animated and playful. I took this backlit image of one sleeping on his back in December 1979 at SeaWorld in Orlando. I was using High Speed Ektachrome and my 300mm f/4.5 Nikkor and probably an F2 but it could have been my Nikkormat FT3 as well. That was way too long...

Yesterday I had a very high probability melanoma removed from my stomach about 2 cm above my navel and another highly suspect one removed in my right armpit. No one ever told us when I was playing tennis for UNC that it is a very bad idea to play/practice 5 hours a day in the NC sun with no...

Anyone here have $23,000 they don't know what to do with? Man I would jump on this like a duck on a Junebug if I had the scratch! Ultra RARE Nikon Nippon Kogaku SP w Nikkor N C 50mm F1 1 First Black Paint SP | eBay

She is a beauty to be sure, here with my 50mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor. The F2, in all of its variations, was the ultimate in all-mechanical 35mm cameras, bar none. This one is going to get a lot of use in the near future!

This is no buzzard, it is a hawk, possibly a Red Hawk, though I am no ornithologist to be sure . THIS is a buzzard, nasty birds as they are!

I sat on a camp stool for about an hour waiting for just the right moment to trip the shutter! The weather was absolutely perfect, for a once in a lifetime image!

I am looking forward to tomorrow night's "supermoon" and eclipse! This was taken with the D300, 600mm f/4 ED IF and TC-300, an equivalent focal length of 1800mm. The moon literally fills the frame! Exposure was the moon "rule of thumb", 1/ASA @ f/11

The last in the elk series. This is the patriarch and matriarch of this herd. When I first got there and they noticed me, they placed themselves between me and the rest of their herd. When they did not sense a threat was when they all started moving towards me out of curiosity. The bull came...

Again, with the D700 and 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS

I have a used D300 I use as a back up camera or when I need more "reach" with nature photos. It is a good, solid camera but best used below ISO 800. Above that and things get kind of yucky fast But with care, it can produce images like this, shot with the D300 and 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS and TC-300...

I have never really messed with focus stacking before but I thought I would try it. This is not a particularly interesting subject but it lent itself well to what I wanted to do. I used the 55mm f/2.8 Micro AIS and took a total of 10 images, altering focus near to far in very small increments...

This was shot with a 50mm f/1.4 AI'd Nikkor reversed on a Nikon PB-6 bellows. The magnification on the sensor was approximately 3x.

Even if you really don't know why. The corn is growing right up to this old barn. From the road it looks like the roof and part of the barn are "floating" on a sea of corn stalks. Shot with the D300 and my 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF Nikkor

I was out shooting. I got out to this preserve before sunrise and set up and waited. It was worth the wait! These were shot with the D700 and the "beast" (600mm f/4 AIS) at shutter speeds as slow as 1/13-1/40 sec using my Movo gimbal head. That head is the best $100 photography investment I have...

I use 8 AA NiCad's in the MB-D10 battery packs for my D700/D300. I have a battery holder that holds a Nikon battery instead of the AA's. The battery for the D700 and D300 is the EN-EL3a but I thought I have heard that the EN-EL4a could be used as well for longer life and higher frame rate. Can...

Still one of my faves

Oh, I don't know, you be the judge. I shot this with one the other night with a 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS and Nikon TC-300 @ ISO 400 and 1/400 sec @ f/11 (effective aperture)

Mule deer 4 point buck

The "beast" never fails to deliver! The 1/ASA f/16 for the BSD rule has a companion. For moon shots 1/ASA @ f/11. It works every time!!

Why pay an UNGODLY sum of money like that for one when you can get an used AIS for about $3000 including a case you could drop it off a cliff in and it would not even scratch the case? Get the last version that had the detachable lens shade. It also has an integral 160mm UV filter in front to...
