Admittedly these aren't great photos. My sole purpose was to check the sharpness and details available with just the lens after removing the 1.7x TC. That refurbished TC was incredibly sharp when I first got it. But after the 30 day store warranty was over, its sharpness went downhill. For most...

I removed my 1.7x TC since it's been intermittent with its ability and just used the 300mm lens. Osprey nest on a Delaware River channel marker. The personal watercraft was simply a bonus. ;)

This was from Saturday, July 4th. There is a company that rents kayaks and paddle boards at the park. I was surprised with the low number of people Saturday. Only a couple of fishermen and very few walkers/bicyclists. But there were a few people out on the lake. The flip screen is great! I never...

Congratulations @Needa - nicely done!

How many owners of the D500 make use of the various User Banks? There is a Photo Shooting Bank, a Custom Shooting Bank, and a My Menu. All of these can be configured with various settings to make changes somewhat quick but involve having to go into the menu. But with my other bodies, I make use...

So hot today that there wasn't much of any wildlife anywhere except for some geese.

Tomorrow I am hoping to fulfill a dream by taking pics at a park. Why? Because it's Saturday. In the park. I think it was the 4th of July. The day only falls once every so many years. ;) Sorry for the last minute post. If you live near a park and have access to take pics on July 4th, please...

Creative Live is running a 70% off sale sitewide for all their classes. There is a Ben Willmore class called Photoshop for Photographers: The Essentials that is excellent. If you want to learn about Levels, Curves, Masking, Adjustment Layers, etc, this might be for you. The class is on sale for...

I didn't see too much in the way of wildlife this month - which is what I've been photographing the most these past several months. So I have slim pickings. These are my top two for the month of June. Unfortunately neither is my little buddy Wilson. He hasn't been visible in a long time so I'm...

@nickt I've been wondering about the price. When looking at the camel web site, Amazon has had it listed at this price since June 2019. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B01A7Q0J3Y Over the past few days, even B&H listed the price as ending as of today, yet when I looked today, that...

Entry #1 - Low to the Ground Perspective

Has anyone ever used fonts available through your Creative Cloud subscription? I was just watching a video where it says they are included. Here is more info on them. It's not clear to me whether or not the fonts get downloaded or how they might otherwise be accessed...

This vulture was the only wildlife to photograph today. It even flew above me and circled a few times before flying off. At least it gave me a little BIF practice. It seems my lens/TC combo just isn't ideal to AF sharply with dark subjects.

I had another go at the green heron image. Since it was positioned much higher in my frame than I wanted, I wound up extending the top of the canvas and filling with content aware fill. That allowed me to make the bird smaller in the image. No matter what, my shutter speed was too slow. But the...

This Green Heron took off before I expected, and obviously I wasn't ready with my shutter speed. Even with Shake Reduction, it simply isn't quite enough. It's also a big crop. :( If this laptop could support Topaz, I'd definitely get it. Last year I photographed one several times without issue...

@BackdoorArts and @Whiskeyman have Macs. Maybe one of them can point you in the right direction. :confused:

Congratulations @TwistedThrottle - nicely done! :encouragement:

It's priceless having two dogs inside a fenced in yard that obey and leave wildlife alone - well at least when I'm out there watching them. ;) Yesterday our little Jack Russell spotted a young bunny and gave chase before I saw it. As soon as I said NO, she pulled up and headed in a different...

Has anyone ever seen unusual wildlife couples paired up together? Today was the third time I've seen a smaller bird flying with a hawk (leaning towards a Red-Tailed Hawk). All I know is the other bird was quite dark and smaller. And it wasn't a chase. Unfortunately I was driving during every...
