[QUOTE="hark, post: 582386, member: 13196"] Yesterday I once again had the time to return to the Community Park. Normally I shoot with either my D750 or D610, but since I really wanted a little more reach, I opted to try out my D7100 with my 70-300mm lens. Up until yesterday, I've only mounted my 70-200mm f/2.8 lens on this body so it was the first (and only) time my D7100 had the 70-300mm lens attached. What a way to find out your lens back focuses! :shame: This little duck was one of a few that stayed around long enough to be photographed before swimming away to join the others. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]228901._xfImport[/ATTACH] While walking along the sandy edge of the lake, I came across this etched into the sand. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]228902._xfImport[/ATTACH] About 3 feet away was this other heart. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]228903._xfImport[/ATTACH] Bugs don't interest me at all...especially stinging ones. But when the opportunity presents itself, shouldn't we at least give it a go? :cheerful: Neither of the next two photos are good, but there are 2 reasons why I am posting them.

[ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]228904._xfImport[/ATTACH] This photo (along with the first heart photo posted above) were the two that let me realize the back focus issue.
