    Anyone know where I can get those screw in metal caps for the DR5 and DG2?

    Scott, do you have a photo of what you're looking for? I'm at a loss to even know what to search for. What does the cap do? This is an eyepiece adapter for the DG-2, but I have no idea if it's what you mean...

    Soccer Photography Question

    There was another game this afternoon with older players. Only posting this one but had several that were fine. I spent time talking with a parent so didn't take as many overall as I did yesterday.

    Soccer Photography Question

    Yesterday was the first soccer game. I went with my 70-200mm f/4 VR coupled with my 1.4x TC which is all I wound up using. I also took my 300mm f/4 PF with the 1.7x TC attached but didn't need it. The 70-200mm plus 1.4x TC worked really well. I really wanted images that were closer to the...

    Soccer Photography Question

    I just found out today that one boy's game will be tomorrow and the other boy's game will be Sunday. Was told they don't allow anyone to stand behind the goal posts so will need to position myself at a corner like @BackdoorArts suggested. This should be interesting - there's always a first for...

    I haven't seen the squirrel I dubbed Wilson in over a year. Although I know this isn't him, this one's been around a couple of times. At least it doesn't run off quite so quickly as most other squirrels.
