All of these are cropped - however, this first one is a very heavy crop. I swear I see a resemblance to Chewbacca with its head. ;)

I just got a new D7200 to use exclusively with my 300mm lens so I can use a zoom lens with my other D7200. I wouldn't have gotten another one other than Nikon is doing away with the second card slot in the D7500. Here is the first image taken with the new body. The file name is changed to NIK...

I can't decide which one I like better. This was my first time using Auto-ISO. Apparently when I tried to increase my exposure with the +/- button at some point, I didn't have the button pressed in enough. So instead of raising my exposure, rotating the rear wheel simply increased my shutter...

Look! No benches!!! ;) Chemtrail over the park's lake in the first image and a view from the park's fishing pier in the second. These should get me caught up to date now.

And guess what today's subjects might be? :confused: Yes, MORE benches. ;)

February 1st brought us more snow. I used my Think Tank Emergency Cover for protection from the snow. I'm still waiting for my local store to get the medium size back in stock. The small size fits my Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR very well (which is what was used here) but wouldn't be long enough to use...

January 30th brought us fog and a surprise snow squall. These are 2 different memorial benches on opposite sides of the lake. The first image shows a dense fog. In the second image, the fog cleared off the land somewhat although was still thick out over the lake.

The next morning, I was out when the temperature was only 4 degrees. ::what:: It was immensely cold. Here is another example of a Noah Sky. This lantern is hanging next to a different bench at the park. Despite the frigid temps, the sunrise was spectacular. It was cloudy, and while the sun...

This is from January 28th. I like to take photos of the memorial benches to share with the grieving families. They appreciate knowing others pay attention to their loved ones benches. This bench is in memory of an infant named Noah. When their family sees a pastel sky, they call it Noah's Sky...

This was from the next day. I'm not sure whether this is a small tree trunk or a vine.

I really need to get caught up again. These were from January 26th. A few days earlier, I watched 2 eagles performing a courtship ritual so I went out with hopes of seeing an eagle again. There were 5-6 flying around. One would fly from a nearby tree, skim the lake and catch a fish, then return...

Over a week ago, I was out shooting eagles with my Nikon D7200, 300mm f/4 PF, and a Nikon 1.4x teleconverter. I switched between Aperture Priority (which is set as AF-S) and U2 which is BBF and AF-C. The reason I switched back and forth is due to trigger thumb in my right hand. BBF isn't always...

Entry #2

Entry #1 - directly into the sun which is why the background is blown out.

I was so annoyed with myself for not getting images of two eagles during their courtship/pre-mating ritual last Wednesday that I went out a few days later in hopes of finding an eagle to photograph. I was thrilled to see at least 5-6 eagles flying around. This one was pretty close. The lighting...

I'm looking to make a collage poster with the Sweethearts Candy as the theme - and would like to insert a photo into each one (with a clipping mask). But does anyone know how to create a 3-D heart in Photoshop that would look similar to the Sweethearts Candy? Below is a web image of the candy. I...

Here are a few from yesterday afternoon. The area beneath the fishing pier looks like icy fringe. Here's a close up showing that ice. These supports reminded me of Clydesdales' hooves. I almost wanted to look around for a cow. The ice below reminds me of cow udders. :rolleyes...

Lol @Marilynne - okay, so I decided to take you up on your edited comment! ;) My choices were: Eenie - the round gas cap door on our SUV Meeine - an antique door shot with a rectilinear fisheye lens which would distort the door (the option I was really leaning towards) Miney - the glass door...

Saw both of these at the park but on different days. Sunday was the first time I photographed a heron at this park.
