And a new laptop - a little over the top for photography purposes - an ASUS R.O.G. G751J it is a big beast of a laptop.

A used Nikkor AF-S ED 28-70 F/2.8D. Liking it a lot. Less than a third of what the new 24-70 F/2.8 goes for in these parts.

This is a one lane bridge over the Beaver River not too far from my home in Northern Alberta. This IS the new bridge. The old one had too many big holes in it. The ice is almost gone and it is not even close to May yet. Must be global warming. I was taking pictures for maybe 10...

"Purchase" may not be the proper term - paid $0.00 for this focus tool - basically downloaded it. Was looking to buy one on the internet - there are 'proper' ones at $75-$100+ on eBay, and then some cards that are $2-4. But then I looked and found out how to download and print your own...

Sure, if money were no object I'd buy the newest greatest 80-200 VRII Nikkor, but I'm a frugal photographer. VR is nice. But I'm wondering with the high ISO capacity of a D610 does that take a bit of the shine off of the VR halo? VR pretty much doubles the price from 600-800, to $1300-1500...

I have plugged my D610 into the ASUS Transformer Tablet and installed DSLR Dashboard and it works fine tethered - but the tethering cable is shall we say 'sub-optimal'. I've looked at the WB-1B - ($59 on Amazon.ca) Read a review of how "awesome" it is with DSLR Dashboard and wondering if...

Oh, I'm ready for spring - bring back the green.

My wife and I went goose hunting. The ice is just starting to come off the lake (yes it was cold) but the geese have come back and looking for open water. She was shooting with the D5100 (AF-S 55-300 VR DX) and I had the D610 (vintage Tamron 200-400). She likes "auto-everything" but I'm...

My wife and I went goose hunting. Ice is just coming off the lake and it was cold but nice to get out and get some fresh air. I shot her with my vintage 'long Tammy' on a monopod - she shot me with the D5100 and a AF-S 55-300 G ED VR. Her images of me were far sharper than my images of...

Anyone have any idea what was up with that aberration on my moon shots? It was only in images from 5:32 to 5:36 a.m. These are the images in sequence - the aberration does not appear in one, but in all the others? In the first three it seems to be moving up with each image. The fifth one...

I needed some storage for all my photo gear and gizmos. Picked up one of those plastic drawer things at CDN Tire on sale. Not my first one of these, won't be my last. But this one was different. It was NOT Made in CHINA - but "Made in Canada" - had to take a picture of that. (This is...

Had to look that up - :) But I'm thinking this is something else. Any chance it is a satellite? Any other theories.

Did you get a shot of the blood moon. I managed a to shoot the transition to the Blood Moon, then the moon went down behind the trees. Not thrilled with my moon focusing skills Shot with a vintage Tamron 200-400 F/5.6 on a D610, tripod mounted. ISO some at 1600, some at 2400 F/10 (for most)...

OK - interesting thread I tried - not as successful as I had hoped, but tried to capture a fresh snowfall of huge floating snowflakes. Yep, snow on Good Friday, welcome to Canada.

One of the parents whom has worked for me in the past kindly gave permission to use my photo's of her son for illustration here. The photo shoot went well. This is my second in as many weeks - next one scheduled for July so two in two weeks is really odd. I've done this only a few times in...

Have some tax money coming back - a little of which will go into my "fun money" account. We are talking a few hundred not thousands. Going to pick up a monopod (started another thread about that - about $100-$150 with head I think). And I'd like to get a new lens. Wish I could afford a 70...

It is becoming obvious that while my vintage Tammy 200-400 F5.6 can be hand held, it is a bit of a beast and it has a tripod mount for a reason. I have a tripod or three I can use, but was thinking I could pick up a mono-pod to use when I take this old long Tammy out for a walk. Looked at a...

Took my vintage 70-210 push pull out for a walk and shot this squirrel.

Learning more about my 610 and playing around with some of the custom features. I use the My-Menu feature - find it helpful. I'm trying to decide what to do with the FN button on the front - what makes most sense? Using the 'level' horizon button (had to read to figure it out but Ok might...

Ah I see - and the plan is to use the LED as a fill as it is not as bright at the flash unit - but it it delivers the 5600K as promised it should be close in colour to the Metz which is the main light. I hope to get some time today to set up and take some test shots. While this is just for fun...
