There wasn't any way to just capture the top of the Bald Eagle's head (too many branches), yet the focus isn't too bad. If you look closely, you will see the top...

    After having all the issues with my 300mm f/4 PF, I decided to perform the autofocus tuning indoors using a much shorter distance. The lens always front focused. In the past, the value was always a minus value (like -7). This time that same lens along with every other lens that underwent the AF...

    Double Back Button Focus

    I came across this article that tells how to set up the D500 with two different buttons on the back to allow quickly switching between two types of focus points. I haven't yet tried it - has anyone heard of it...

    I changed up my editing slightly, and at least for this image, it speeded up my PC quite a bit. Instead of waiting until I've finished editing in Photoshop before converting to a Smart Object, I converted then applied a Levels Adjustment and Color EFEX Pro afterwards. I was amazed my PC didn't...

    Post your latest purchases.

    The gimbal arrived this morning. It's heavier than I thought although Adorama didn't have its weight listed. Amazon has it listed at a little over 3 pounds. Initially I was going to mount this on a monopod, but due to its weight, I might be better off using a tripod - at least until I get used...
