    RIP Max

    After about 11 years of being a loyal friend, Max passed away today. He was very sick and had to be put to sleep. He was in a lot of pain and I should have done this weeks ago. I just could not bring myself to it. He has been with us since we rescued him from the local shelter. He use to come...

No tripod was used due...

    I have an idea for a shot this weekend.

    Last weekend I took a long exposure shot on the white water which I liked, but I think that it would have been more interesting with rafters in the shot. Of course if I do a long exposure, the rafters will be very blurry. I'm thinking of taking one long exposure shot like this, and another shot...

    My Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens has arrived.

    Well, I'm such a dumbass sometimes. I took a sick day from work today (I knew my lens would arrive by the tracking) to test out my new (to me) lens. Mounted it on my D500 (that is what camera I bought it for) and headed down to the Chattanooga Zoo to give it a good test run. Mostly I wanted...

    Recovering highlights . Very impressed.

    Went out to the river to shoot some action shots of white water rafting . (D500+200-500mm lens) I was playing with the metering mode as not to blow the whites of the water, but not to under expose the darker areas either. Took a few shots with spot metering, but way over exposed, so I settled...

    I'm sold ALL my Nikon gear.

    The EVIL Nikon corporation will no longer be profiting off of this hard working proletarian. I am done and it's about time. I had a garage sale yesterday, and sold everything. Got a respectable price , even though I sold it in bulk. All my bodies and lenses for over a grand. Not bad when you...

    While shooting at the Osprey's nest today, there was a lady there with a Canon and a huge lens. I walked up and struck up a conversation. I asked if that was a 600mm f/4 lens and it turned out that I was right. Also turned out that she was a very nice lady and asked if I would like to take a...
