Hey Amigos! In a truly amazing turn of events, I have landed my dream job. I am the wildlife photographer for The Sanctuary at San Basilio in Baja California Sur. The Sanctuary encompasses over 25,000 acres, 5 miles of coastline, 5 beaches and some of the most incredible views anywhere...

I'll admit it...I'm one of those never satisfied types. I have the D500 and a "pro" Nikon lens and I love the images it takes but I always want more. More frames per second, more resolution, silent shutter, even better autofocus. I'm not ashamed, people like me and probably you are what make the...

In looking into used lenses to improve the quality of my wildlife images, there are several copies of the Nikkor 200-400 vr1 available for sub 2k. I know the lens is heavy...no problem. Here's my list of possibles... Nikkor 200-400 F4 vr1 Nikkor 80-400 G (newest model) Nikkor 300 PF +...

Not much luck on the last comparison. Anyone here have an opinion or experience? I understand there is a HUGE weight difference so no need to discuss that. Also, I find myself mostly shooting at f8 when conditions permit and my primary focus is wildlife action. These two lenses are comparably...

Can anyone compare IQ, AF speed and sharpness of these lenses? Thanks!

Seriously considering moving to Sony. My photos are starting to sell more and customers are wanting larger prints so I was all set on the D850. I am noticing that it seems Nikon is slowly abandoning DSLRs in favor of mirrorless. Most Youtube photography channels are saying the DSLR is the...

Dear Nikon, You have made an incredible wildlife camera with the D500! I promise to buy 2 D510's if you grant me just one wish... A SILENT SHUTTER! Not some gimmicky, live view only or with a reduced frame rate but, a fully integrated silent shutter. Give us wildlife photographers the last...

In it's current setup on my D500, metering does not follow my focus point. Meaning, if I move the focus point, it seems to still meter from the center. Can I have metering follow the focus point? If so, could you explain the process. Thanks

It took nearly 18 months but I finally got my D500! Here is a high ISO test shot with no editing...

I thought it might be fun to see how many clicks you have taken this year. I'll start it off...I put almost exactly 20,000 with a few days left. Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

I made a 7 minute video from my stills of 2016. This is my first attempt at any sort of video so feedback is appreciated.

I got the cover of a regional magazine. I also have an article on photography featuring several more of my images.

My question is: Is f16 the same on a f2.8 lens or a f5.6 lens at the same focal length? I would think that the larger elements of a f2.8 lens would allow more light through than a lens with smaller elements. Maybe a dumb question but, consider the source! Thanks

I have a rather dark pond with full bright sunlight to shoot birds. Snowy Egrets are very challenging, even shooting at -1.0ev the highlights can be blown. Because of the dark water and heavily treed banks my auto ISO is usually 250-1000 even in the full bright sun. This is typically at 600mm...

I will be going to a known bat cave to photograph their evening spiral into the sky. Obviously, this low light high shutter speed work. Can I get some tips, tricks, setting advice, etc. Please... I'll be shooting my new D7200 and have these lenses to use: Tokina 11-20 2.8, Nikon 18-140 vr or...

An especially great morning for me! She came within 12 feet of me without knowing I was there....

Well, after much research and the slowdown in D500 rollout, I pulled the trigger von a D7200 with 18-140 lens! I plan on selling my D7000, 18-55, 55-200, and 70-300. This will make my new kit: D7200 Tokina 11-20 2.8 Nikon 18-140 vr Sigma 150-600 C I'm planning to shoot with this for a year or...
