This definitely ISN'T a good image. A local falconer (not the man I know) had a female Harris Hawk go missing. So I spent time searching today. Since my 100-400mm lens isn't long enough, I opted to add my 1.4x TC. With it I knew I'd be able to get a larger view in camera for identification...

As Fred mentioned, what you need is to learn about depth of field. Your aperture controls the depth of field. Other things that factor into depth of field are the focal length used as well as how close you are to your subject. I really like this app called Simple DoF (a paid app) because of...

If you have the full version of Photoshop, there are a variety of free items you can download such as prebuilt design elements like branding layouts, wireframes, charts, vector shapes, patterns, backgrounds, and brushes. The brushes are interesting. You can add fog to a photo using one of the...

I've wanted a slider for a while for multiple uses. This was the last one on Amazon made by Zecti. It is a twin to a Neewer brand slider. Carbon fiber and can hold the weight of a DSLR with a reasonably heavy lens (11 pound weight load). Not sure why the Neewer on Amazon is listed as a 2-pound...

This one is my favorite - not because it's a stellar image but because of the meaning behind it. While doing their job, two Pennsylvania State Police Troopers were killed on I-95 by a drunk driver. This is only a fraction of the police who attended to ride in the funeral procession. It shows...

@Dangerspouse - since you chose the topic, can you help clarify?

On March 21st, two Pennsylvania State Troopers on I-95 were speaking with a pedestrian when they were killed by a drunk driver. Yesterday was the funeral for one of the troopers. It took a coordinated effort by police from multiple municipalities as well as state police to close roads for the...

The first one I posted was from my iPhone. The problem is I wasn't able to completely correct the distortion to the buildings. So here is my RAW edit from my D750. I was able to pull a little more detail from some areas of the clouds, too.

The National Weather Service sent out an emergency alert regarding a snow squall this afternoon. I used Joel Grimes' editing technique where a duplicate layer is added in Photoshop then in Camera RAW the duplicate layer is converted to black and white. While in Camera RAW, I lowered the...

I agree @wev is really knowledgeable about hummingbirds!

I really don't want to dominate your thread, DS, so for that, I apologize. There aren't too many people here anymore who know a lot about lighting. In the meantime, take a look at this post by Wayne. Maybe you will find some of the links he mentions to be informative while we wait and see if he...

Congratulations @TwistedThrottle - nicely done! :)

@Bill16 - do you have a link for the tripod? I'm not finding much of anything when searching for info. Welcome back!

Here's another from today's session. When Rangle was free to fly, he headed to this bush, and for some reason just grabbed a hold and didn't move. He stayed put until his handler moved to Rangle's right with bait on the glove. The shadow on the right is a person. I was standing behind two people...

Today I attended another falconry session. Yesterday temps dropped dramatically plus we received 1/2" of sleet. Originally they were calling for around 3" of snow so I wasn't sure if the event would even be held. This is the same Harris Hawk that I photographed last fall - Rangle is his name.

You're welcome. Here are a couple other things to consider. If you find yourself using the bare bulbs a lot (they work very well in softboxes), you might be interested in the bulb cover to protect the bulb when traveling unless you continually remove the bare bulb head every time you finish...

Just something else to consider adding to your short list, TwistedThrottle. :beguiled: Since you mentioned getting the round head for the AD200, the Godox AK-R16 Gel Set for the Round head is less expensive via B&H than it is through Adorama or Amazon. The set DOES contain the magnetic ring. I...

This is a tough decision. I like this first one because I don't see in 3D, yet when I take an image that winds up looking more like 3D than what I see in reality, it captures my attention. But I also like this one.
