Not only is this not Nikon, it is not even digital, though it is a digitized scan of a B&W negative. Hasselblad 500CM, 80mm f/2.8 C Planar. Kodak T-Max 100

I guess by DSLR standards, a 2013 camera body is getting "long in the tooth" but here is the proof that it is not necessarily the case. I was at Huntington State Park today and as I was leaving, an Osprey with a small fish landed in a tree right in front of me. With the DX crop, my 600mm f/4 ED...

Osprey with lunch, Huntington State Park, Murrells Inlet, SC D7100 and 600mm f/4 ED IF AIS Nikkor

Enter the "Mini-Beast II". The "Beast" of course, is the 600 mm f/4 ED-IF AIS Nikkor and the "Mini-Beast I" the 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS. The "Mini-Beast II", and a beast it is, is my new (to me at least, I am the second owner) a mint condition 200mm f/2 ED-IF AIS Nikkor. It will be used primarily...

I finally acquired an MB-23 a couple of years ago and if you are going to use the F4 a fair amount it is definitely worth the money. The biggest advantage of the MB-23 is access to the battery. The battery tray slides out of the battery pack just like any DSLR does. You do not have to remove...

Hanging Rock State Park, Danbury, SC. Easily in the top five of the best the images I have ever taken in the 47 years I have been doing photography! The 4 second exposure just turned that water into soft as butter. I had it printed to 24"x30", now I just have to get around to matting and framing it!

I have waited for several weeks for a shot like this. I was about to give up and just take the shot and add the fog in PS with a gradient mask. But early this morning the fog rolled and I rushed to Hagley's Landing here in Pawleys Island, SC, D850 and 25-50mm f/4 AIS Nikkor in hand! Sometimes...

Just in time for Halloween................a spooky old oak tree, made even creepier looking through a fisheye!

White Oak, Huntington State Park. D850 and 24mm f/2.8 AIS Nikkor

The bad news is that I had to resign my job as a Clinical Microbiologist due to health reasons. Over the past few months I noticed a marked increase in forgetfullness and an inability to recall recent things. I had both a CT and MRI done and unfortunately, there has been a noticeable atrophy in...

Pisgah Covered Bridge, Union Township, NC. Erected in 1911. No longer in use, it is a state landmark. Nikon D850, 15mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor, 1/20 sec @ f/8

My photography club made a 3 day trip to NC to visit Hanging Rock State Park, Asheboro NC Zoo and a Pisgah Covered Bridge. Below is an image I took at Hanging Rock. The weather had been lousy all day but it finally cleared around noon. D850, 35-70mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor, 4 sec @ f/22 plus X ND

Viewfinder courtesy of Photoshop of course. The F2 is still my favorite camera of all time. Yes it is big, heavy and noisy, especially with the MD-2 attached but it was still brilliantly designed and built like a tank. Mine is circa 1975 and it is still going strong as is the motor drive

D850 4 sec @ f/32 plus 8x ND

I have to agree about the composition. The wine and cheese is fine, but I would eliminate the dish with the olives and the tomato. Simple is always better when it comes to marketing and advertising. You want the product you are selling to be the main focus point, and here it just looks like...

Murrells's Inlet, SC The tree to the right is pretty spooky looking too!

This tiny (body only about 3mm long) Orchard Web spider has a web right outside the front door. The neon colors on their abdomen are amazing! A 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor and ring flash did the trick!

One more of Liz

A casual outdoor portrait taken of Liz with the D700, 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS (my go-to lens for single outdoor portraiture) and a single fill flash camera left.

Even birds occasionally have bad hair days...……………this Snowy Egret definitely slept on its feathers wrong!
