Re: Voting for Aug. 26 - Sept. 21 Weekly Challenge: Vanishing Point or B&W Repeat Pat This challenge brought in some amazing images. Kudos @crycocyon for winning a close race!

Taken with the 300mm f/4 non-VR lens plus refurbished 1.7x TC. Although this was in the evening and I hit my capped ISO, capturing the young bunny in mid-lick was priceless. I wasn't even aware of it until I looked at the images on my PC.

Since it seems you weren't going to ask Nikon yourself....

Was the brand you purchased a Stroboframe? I purchased this one for my 35mm film camera and have used it ever since with my DSLR's without any issues. I definitely wouldn't call it flimsy. Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 Bracket. It's very sturdy...

I haven't had much luck lately finding wildlife to photograph so was surprised when this young bunny showed up in our yard tonight. Unfortunately I hit my ISO cap of 4000 even though I set my aperture to f/6.7. That is wide open considering the TC I was using. Plus this lens doesn't have any VR...

I really wanted to incorporate both choices of this week's challenge into one image but couldn't get the actual vanishing point into my photo. So this is a repeating pattern in black & white.

Matt Granger (aka That Nikon Guy) is moving to mirrorless but hasn't yet decided on a brand. https://petapixel.com/2020/08/26/matt-granger-says-goodbye-nikon-sells-all-his-gear-to-go-mirrorless/

Finding wildlife right now is difficult so I decided to go out with my D750 and 70-200mm lens. A thunderstorm rolled through here moments before, but I missed any lightning. This was taken through my SUV's window between wiper blade sweeps. It's been a while since I used my D750. In fact, when...

Congrats to the winners - and kudos to @cwgrizz for stepping aside since there was a 3-way tie. :encouragement:

@STM would you please edit your post and list the EXIF? At a minimum, the date and camera model - and if possible, the aperture and shutter speed. Thanks!

And unfortunately that seems to be true. While it works well in some situations, it is unreliable especially for subjects further away. What I hadn't realized is my first photos with this combo offered me subjects that were somewhat close. But when I went back through images taken after getting...

Here is one from yesterday's outing with the 300mm f/4 PF coupled with the Nikon 1.7x TC. No cropping was applied. I was less than 15 feet away so my depth of field is less than 1" - which is why the feathers on the far side are blurred. Was aiming to keep the feathers in the foreground in...

By the way, here is one of my car photos that was hilarious. I rotated the CP filter, and much to my surprise, the windows suddenly became multicolored. I showed the image to the owners. They said this is a genuine racing car, and the windows are made out of something more like Plexiglas. Part...

Twice deleted, @STM - maybe you tried to edit it but clicked the wrong button? :confused:

I even went out one last time with the 300mm f/4 PF and the 1.7x TC, but almost everything was out of focus. So I swapped out the 300mm f/4 PF for the 300mm f/4 non-VR lens coupled with the TC. Wow, it is heavy compared with the PF. Since there isn't any VR, I made sure to increase my shutter...

@Whiskeyman keep watch of how the $100 savings is offered or stated. I was on the fence for a while. Then when the $100 instant rebate was supposed to end by June 30th, I asked Jake if it was a good price. He said yes so after a couple more days sitting on the fence, I decided to get off...
