Can you ever have enough of these?

On Saturday I've volunteered to take Easter Bunny Photo's at a preschool Children's Centre. Pardon my crayola style drawing but I think it gives you the idea. My givens - I have an SB700, Metz 58 AF2 (roughly = an SB900) and a LED Camlight PL-88D which says it puts out 600 Lumens. And the...

The Mrs. taking a picture of me taking a picture of the Mrs. Volunteered to pretend to be a photographer at a fun photo shoot at a Children's Centre 10th Anniversary Party. The Theme was "I love the 80's" - go figure, many of the parents with kids at the Centre would have been born in the...

NEWS FLASH Nikon decides to diversify. Given their proven track record at producing perfectly round objects it was a logical choice to branch into the tire market. Seriously, was searching Kijiji for something from Nikon and this pops up. For the curious the poster must have meant...

Some HDR fun with trains today

Capture a few old homesteads on the drive home from Edmonton yesterday Shot with my Tammy 200-400mm on a D610

Had a chance shoot a train near Fort Saskatchewan Alberta. All shot with a Tammy 200-400 F/5.6 on my D610.

Be kind, just getting the hang of this shooting birds. We don't have a lot of winter birds that stick around - these magpies however do seem to stick around, much to some peoples dismay. I read that one should just get out and shoot birds, common birds, and then when you get the chance at a...

The last four of the following macro's were taken of this Olive Tree in my yard. Wonderful winter March morning - love Hoar Frost. First try at macro shots of frost. Be kind.

Northern Alberta Railway caboose on display in Westlock Alberta, north of Edmonton. Drove by the other day and pulled out the D610 for a few quick shots.

Is there a L.A. group here for those who are Lens-aholics? Keep wanting more and more lenses in my kit bag (now kit drawer). No I have not master the last lens I bought, or the one before that, nor the one before that. . . . BUT still I keep looking at lenses? I need a 12 step program...

Interesting idea Mike, a drive up shooting station. I suppose I could find somewhere - we live in a rather sparsely populated part of rural Canada, only three hour drive to nearest city. My last wild life shots were taken from the driver seat. Deer are considered driving hazards in these...

I've watched a few how to youtubes on wildlife photography - mostly about birds. For example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nDeU3iUIRg Where the photographer sits in a hunter's blind. I can get one at the local Canadian Tire store, sporting goods store or order one like this from Amazon...

Good to know I got a great deal at $175 (CDN so about $140 USD) and no shipping - but did have to drive to next town 50k away - 'postage' = $20 in fuel. I am having some fun with this lens. The zoom takes some effort, want to zoom out, take two steps backwards.

Picked up a Nikkor Micro 105mm AFD F/2.8 today bought from a fella leaving the Nikon ship for Sony. Just starting to learn to use it. Here is one of my first shots with it. Kiwi my most compliant model.

An oldie - from 2006 - taken in Vegreville, AB.

Shot in Heinsburg AB while out quadding - taken with my D5100 - I think it was the 18-55 DX lens. Back in 2012

Going to the next town tomorrow to look at a 105mm AF F/2.8 D Nikkor Micro (not the VR version) Seller says bit of dust that does not impact images - he seems to be a very meticulous photographer. Recently made the jump from Nikon to Sony. He had problems with his D610 - Nikon upgraded him...

All shot with my 'new-to-me' vintage Tamron 200-400 F5.6 on my D610 on my trip home from Edmonton in north eastern Alberta today.
