Our greatest generation. Even for a 3 time combat Infantryman like me, all subsequent generations owe our greatest generation a debt we could never possibly repay.

This was taken one afternoon as I was leaving the Circle B Bar Ranch Preserve in Lakeland, FL. I saw these two GBH's in the nest moving around. I had the D700 and my 600mm f/4 beast on a monopod so I just focused on them and waited for them to do something. Fleetingly it appeared that their...

Mt. Ranier (14410 feet) taken from the observation deck of the Seattle Space Needle. The atmospheric haze and distance, about 75 miles, from downtown Seattle makes Ranier seem to "float" above the landscape. Taken on a very rare clear winter day in the Pacific Northwest. F2 Photomic, 55mm...

I made a trip to Magnolia Gardens north of Charleston this past Monday. It is an amazing place for landscape and wading bird photography!

One of the greatest complaints of the F5 posed by photographers was it's "excessively heavy" weight. I put my F5 with a 36 exposure roll of film on a digital scale and it weighed 1069g (2.36 lbs). I then put the D850 with MB-D18 battery grip and EN-EL18 (the single D5 battery which weighs a lot...

A mint condition 50-300mm f/4.5 ED AIS Nikkor. The most amazing thing is was shipped out of Japan yesterday Fedex! One of my neighbors house is 70m (about 225ft) away and there are 2" light bulbs strung out along the length. I mounted the lens on the D850 and shot from 50 to 300mm at f/8 hand...

There was not a lot of diversity in birds yesterday but it is February after all.

I am contemplating getting one of these as a good "walking around" lens. Has anyone had any personal experience with this lens? The reviews I have read on are very favorable. TIA Scott

About 6 or 7 months ago I inadvertently put a D850 battery in my D500 and when I turned it on I got a blinking "ERR" on the top of the top LCD and the camera was a brick. I thought, "oh man, what is going on here?". I put the D500 battery back in and got the same error. I am thinking I probably...

We have a 16 week old male tabby kitten named Pepper. He is a bundle of energy and as mischievous as a kitten can get. I put birdseed and sunflower seeds on the deck railing each morning for the birds, though the squirrels wind up getting a good bit of it. I always put a big pile right outside...

This one is artistic and only mildly NSFW Caitlin M, D700 and 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor with window light and a large reflector to camera right.
