Sorry, I tried to upload it, but apparently the .MOV file is too large (even though it's only a six second clip). So instead I uploaded it to my Flickr page and you can see if there if you'd like. It was shot facing the North Star (Polaris), and consists of three hours of 20sec exposures (f5...

I've yet to decide, but I'm leaning towards keeping my Windows 7 setup, with LR5.7.1, at least for now. It all works together and it does what I need it to do.... But in the future, if I upgrade to LRCC ...? My wife has Win10 on her laptop, and little things about it bug me, even though I'm...

Common Yellowthroat, at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, Seymour, IN

Common Yellowthroat. Photographed a Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, Indiana.

Was wanting to update my profile to include my new camera, it doesn't seem to be on the list. Or, ...It might be I'm just not seeing it...

My previous experience with Nikon DSLRs was that the (less expensive) generics worked fairly well, with some brands holding a charge better than others. That was okay, because they were a fraction of the price of the Nikon EN-EL14s that my D5200 and D3200 used. Before I even had the D500 in...

A couple of shots with the new D500. The Carpenter Bee shots were the most amazing for me. The AF and ISO performance on this camera is pretty sweet. Definitely a plus for macro. Really looking forward to trying it out on Dragonflies next. Not sure if the EXIF is showing on the Bee shot: D500...

With the Tamron 150-600 telephoto. Mostly cloudy, overcast skies in the morning and I was shooting in the wood. I still found an unacceptable (to me) amount of graininess in most of the photos over ISO800. Higher ISO is nowhere near as bad as my previous camera (D5200), but it's still an issue...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me.... I got my D500 yesterday, and today took it to a National Wildlife Refuge to try it out with my telephoto and macro lenses. I had the camera save the files as Large, RAW, lossless compressed files. I also had it use the SD card as backup to the XQD card...

During a recent visit to Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, I got to watch a family of nine otters play and hunt for over half an hour. I took a lot of pictures, these are some of the best. I'm still not satisfied with many pictures I take in direct sunlight. I used the AF on the lens...

Happened to walking in to work and carrying my camera with the Tamron 150-600 mounted. Someone mentioned how clear the moon was, so I snapped a couple of test shots at varying focal lengths. In the partial light of the setting sun, the autofocus locked right on to the moon. This one was pretty...

At the Tamron Tailgate party that came through here, there were quite a few people who use flashes in conjunction with their zooms to fill in the shadows with birds deep in the canopy. I was curious if you all had any experience or recommendations for settings or techniques. One annoyance is...

A immature Henztia mitrata from my back yard. These were shot with my Tokina 100mm macro, with the addition of a Raynox 250.

A small (2mm-4mm) orb weaver on one of my tomato plants.

A Cabbage White Butterfly on a Daisy. After looking at all of the photos here, I'm trying to step up my game. Up 'til now, I've done mostly insect "portraits". I've seen how you all are able to incorporate lighting and composition so well. This is an early attempt....

Crab Spider. These guys were all over the yard this Summer.

Found a Bold Jumper (Phidippus audax) on the deck today. Looks like she'd been doing a little "Big Game Hunting". This caterpillar was easily 5X her size! She was so focused on it that she didn't mind me moving all around her taking photographs.

I just picked up this lens last Saturday and I am totally loving it! I'm used to shooting macro, so it's a different experience, being able to be so far from your subject. These are a couple of shots from my backyard and a Goldfinch from a nearby Wildlife Refuge I visited on Sunday. Any problems...

One of the Gray Tree Frogs (Hyla chrysoscelis or H. versicolor) not sure of the exact species. This guy was sampling the bugs under my front porch light.

A male Bronze Jumper (Eris militaris) shot on the Fennel in my garden.
