I'll start posting shots here after returning from our trip to New Mexico. Happy New Year, everyone!

I can't really afford a Z8, but it doesn't bother me too much. My trusty D500s (I have 2 bodies) do a great job for me. Today, an Avocet was nearby and looked like he was going to continue to walk along the shore while dipping his beak for all the good stuff to eat Iin the water. Without warning...

This looks pretty cool: I haven't updated yet, but thought people would be interested.

This is World Animal Day. Another day I was unaware of until Facebook so informed me. Anyway, I choose to post a nice, big bull elk sticking his tongue out at some tourists.:)

Tried out the newest version of Photo AI, which is supposed to be a major update. Honestly, I only see subtle differences in sharpening and noise reduction. They have two new beta functions, lighting and color balance. In my opinion neither does a good job when automated, and the sliders are so...

Good video:

I watched the male (right) dance around and sing his heart out to the female. The poor little guy was rebuffed, however. Boy: Oh, baby won't you let me be your man? Girl: No. Boy: Oh come on, honey! Girl: I SAID NO! Boy: You're breaking' my heart! Girl: I'm turning my back on you.

Is anyone else noticing that images are taking an incredibly long time to load today? I can click on a thread and it will take minutes before the images in the thread finally show.

The latest version of Lightroom Classic has a new noise reduction feature built in that is AI based. It's right in the detail panel. It creates a new DNG RAW file. It is a simpler set up than Topaz DeNoise, and takes less time than going to an external plug in each time you use it. I have played...

Fisticuffs!

I bought one used XQD memory card from MPB, and this was the box it came in. LOL.
