Red Tailed Hawk - high overhead - shot with my new D7100 + Kenko 1.4 & Nikkor 200-500 5.6e Waited but he never got in much closer than these photos allowed.

And so it begins - the project I've put off for a while. I've set up a scanning workstation using an old PC ( as in six year old - ancient eh?) And a what used to be a good scanner (HP G4010) HP ScanJet G4010 Photo Scanner Specs - CNET Downloaded new Windows 10 compatible software. This...

"Say Cheese Papa"

I'm using a Nikkor 70-200 AF-S VR ED - edition one. I picked it up locally used a few months ago and really like it. Didn't want to part with money Nikon wants for the new VRII version. This VRI still have the active - normal VR system and has worked flawlessly on all of my cameras. My...

Got to "The Camera Store" today (yes that is the official name The Camera Store Came home with a gold box - its always a good day that includes a new gold box eh? And a couple of extras.  So, after a lot of back and forth, and re-thinking I finally pulled the trigger on a new D7100...

rodeo photographer

That's me taking a picture of the lady next to me dancing on the big display at the other end of the rodeo

I can pretend these shots have intentional motion effect - I wasn't going to keep them - but then thought they are keepers - just need to look with an artsy eye.

Broncs - I needed to have shot these at a much faster speed.

Had a chance to go to the Okotoks Rodeo - it is a small local indoor rodeo. Took my D90 with my 70-200 VRI 2.8. In my bag I had a 1.8 50mm and 1.8 35mm and a SB-600 First time in that venue - it was much darker than I would have liked. I wish I had brought my D610, pushed the D90 to ISO...

Got me a Pelican today - rare in these parts. Only saw two on the lake. American White Pelican I believe. Had a little fun playing with Zoner 18 in post processing. Shot with 200-500 with Kenko 1.4 T.C.

Did a little duck hunting with my 200-500 (sans TC today)

Shot me a duck today ... and almost a pelican but it got away

Took the "upgrade now for $19" offer (reg $49 upgrade) Started out as a freebie via "Giveaway Of the Day" - then upgraded to 16, now 18. Has some nice features. The only photo software you need: Zoner Photo Studio Any other Zoners in Nikonite land?

Internet Upgrade First a new ASUS RT-AC68U 1900 Dual Band Router And then upgraded my internet service - upped my radio to a 5G unit (was 2.4) and upped my package from silver to gold for $20 more per month ($59-79) to go from 6 Mbps to 10 Mbps. For rural areas that's good. No high speed...

A flock of sparrows descended into our backyard, dozens of these tiny birds in the flock. Quite the sound when they all lift off together.

Re: Bird in Flight A whole flock of birds of some sort gathered overhead - grabbed my D90 - it had a Tammy 70-300 with the Kenko 1.4 attached. I had been experimenting to see how what I could coax from that combo. It was what was ready to shoot when I had the chance. These birds were well up...

Wagon rides with a pair of handsome horses in the lead. "Duke and Diamond"

All by its lonesome - none others like it in the area

Out visiting a 'farm' of sorts today - really a rural "cowboy town" place for children of all ages. Had a chance to take some pics of their "old tired ag-equipment" on display for kids to climb. nicely maintained. Yes - the pics are processed - some are "nik-ed".
