    D500 Battery Cover Door

    I am going with the Nikon brand cover, lucien. Several years ago I had an SB-910 that had corrosion inside the battery chamber due to Duracell batteries leaking. Although I cleaned it out myself as did an employee of a local camera store, the metal inside the chamber was pitted from the...

    D500 Battery Cover Door

    The battery cover door to my D500 was lying inside my camera bag and seems to be extremely loose after reinstalling it (wobbly from side to side). Nikon has the part listed for sale on their website. Since I haven't used my D500 much - around 5k actuations - I'm wondering if I should order 2 or...

    One thing I've noticed over the past couple of days is the VR takes much longer to settle - and that might be causing some of the soft images. Today I held down the BBF and waited at least 2 seconds for the image to stop shaking before taking the pics. No Shake Reduction here although it could...

    Turning BBF off on the D500

    I got rather frustrated trying to figure out how to turn off BBF on my D500 as I wanted to switch to using the shutter actuation button to both focus and take the pics. I kept running into the issue of both the BBF button AND the shutter actuation button allowing the AF to work when either one...

    Post your Birds in Flight

    Oh come on @wev - how did it end between the Red-Tailed Hawk and the nesting Coopers Hawk? :confused: Did the Red-Tailed Hawk fly off, or did the Coopers catch up with it?

    After I finished taking test shots, I reset my camera settings back to where I usually keep them (f/7.1 and shutter speed of 1/2000") and placed the camera on the seat next to me. I barely made it out of the park when I saw a bird going after a Red-Tailed Hawk. So I quickly pulled over, grabbed...

    Can you help ID this bird please?

    When I was mowing near a bush, this little bird flew from the ground up to the fence. Later on it was back on the ground. Size-wise it is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a robin. I'm guessing possibly a fledgling female cowbird? :confused: The first image isn't great by any means but was...

    While I was at a different spot taking a photo of the flag hanging from the crane, an attendee expressed her frustration with the flag not getting blown into a nice position. And honestly I encountered that most times, too. So I felt lucky being in the right place at the right time for this...

    And this is the Veteran who organizes the annual event. The man was quite willing to let me take his photo, but he is very serious about this event. Plus between bands, he gives information. After finishing this color image, I decided to play with it in The Nik Collection's Color Efex Pro to...
