I'm such a Goober! :unconscious: I can't believe I edited the wrong image. This is the one I meant to edit and post since its head was more visible with much better light. :o

Although I didn't see the juvenile eagle today, I did see this Immature Red-Tailed Hawk. There was a bulldozer moving forward and backward maybe 20 to 25 feet in front of the hawk. I was surprised with how long the hawk stayed put. This was also shot thru a chain link fence. I pressed my hood...

Yes, it sounds really bad. @kevy73 updated something on his Facebook page a few hours ago, but I don't know how far away he is located from the fires. Scott Murray isn't around nearly as often as he used to be with his amazing photography. I hope he is hanging in there.

In this photo, I thought for sure it was getting ready to take off. It crouched down as though it was going to spring off the utility pole. It adjusted its wings, ducked its head a little, and began to move its tail. But nope. It didn't take off. :eek: So what did it do? :indecisiveness: It let...

Well...I learned my lesson. :beguiled: Yesterday I came upon this juvenile Bald Eagle but had trouble keeping steady. So I shot it with a higher-than-I-needed shutter speed which translated into a high ISO. And what that means is more noise. :( So I changed my settings (lowered my shutter...

Jake, do you think there might be some similarities between the Z50 and the Z6/Z7? If so, @Danno has delved into some of the setting changes. Maybe he can point you in the right direction?

This must be the image to which you referred. My first true learning experience with photography was by using a Minolta 35mm film camera that focused manually. It only offered two modes: Aperture Priority and Manual Mode. For anyone who really wants to understand photography, weaning off of the...

To answer your question, I'm going back to Moab Man's earlier post. He mentioned using f/2.8 and focusing on the tent which was about 40 feet away. He said at that distance, everything falls into focus (meaning everything up to infinity that is beyond the focus point). I use Simple Depth of...

I'm still dealing with a knee/leg problem but felt I could walk a little today. So I went out looking for potential leaf images for the weekly challenge. Any leaves around here are brown and lifeless. When I saw this scene, it literally sucked the breath right out of me. It took me back to my...

One thing I'm not sure about concerning the Sigma lens but @BackdoorHippie might be able to tell you is whether or not that lens can be attached to the dock for firmware updates. Some older Sigma lenses have limitations if they don't have the latest firmware updates. For example, Live View might...

@BackdoorHippie has the Sigma macro OS. Not sure if he used a tripod for this, but he's posted several images shot with that lens.

Dawg Pics is right. You can lower your f/stop and still have a decent amount of DoF. Do you have a DoF app on your cell phone? I use Simple Depth of Field (which is a paid app), but there are really good free ones out there, too. I plugged in some arbitrary numbers. Keep in mind I only based...

Since you allow image editing, I want to point out something. The color red is more difficult to edit than some of the other colors. When you edit, be sure you turn on your clipping masks (which you already turned on). I took the liberty of opening your photo in Camera RAW (which has the same...

After watching one of Lindsay Adler's Posing videos on Creative Live, I decided to get her book. She does an amazing job of explaining what to do. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1681981947/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a few that I'd consider to be my best (and also my first time photographing those subjects). But if I had to narrow it down to one, it is this one. Here's looking at you, kid.

Walmart sells these as Bluebird houses. Although I've never seen any bluebirds around here, sparrows love them. All three of our trees have at least one of these. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pennington-Cedar-Bluebird-Wild-Bird-House-1-unit/20713363

Great idea for the contest @STM - nicely done! Congratulations. :encouragement:

I just read this in a Facebook group. The owner said he used the flash then stored it in his bag in the garage for 3 days. When he went to get his gear, the flash was melted and also partially melting another flash that was near it in the bag. People responding said they've never had any...

Horoscope Fish is this the receiver that Walt can use for his Yongnuo flashes? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341962-REG/godox_x1r_n_ttl_remote_controller.html
