Shooting through a fence. I caught more of the chain link when I rotated to catch the batter walking off. Kinda liked the feel though...

Nice acquisition on the D750 @Pretzel. :encouragement: I do have bad news for your wallet however. The 24-120 is a helluva lens, but if you're going to shoot baseball games, a 70-200 f/2.8 might be in order.:cheerful:
Would I even dare to suggest a D500? No, I wouldn't don't dare!
Haha! I battled between the D500 and D750 for a whole week, but full frame won. With the grip, the FPS is more than enough for me, and can't wait to nab some amazing landscapes and cleaner night shots! 70-200 sure would be nice, but may go for the 85 1.8 and a g2 150-600 instead...
Then a nice ultra wide, and... and....

A couple at first, now a... gaggle? The same goose couple has nested at our work building for two years, now, so today I went on a wild goose chase! No ponds nearby, no streams, just grass, flowerbeds and parking lots. LOL
Before lunch, mama watching over her kiddos....
AFTER lunch, the kiddos splashing around in a nearby puddle!

It looked like a vignette sort of.....but I didn't think you had purposely tried for one though.
The best camera in the world is the one you have with you when the opportunity for a shot presents itself, right?
First, kids playing in a wonderfully lit up splash garden... I've always loved the oil paint filter in PS, and it helped anonymize the kiddos in the process, so here ya go. "Midsummer night's Dream..."
And then, just tonight, I was driving home from a free outside concert when I spotted the "hillside" climbing up to a highway that passes over the road I was taking home. Right time, steep hill (but not to steep for m' Jeep!), and a kind officer who CHOSE not to see me climbing the hill to get this shot. Just a little touch of the "glow" when I got home, and here's my new fave pic of my new baby. "Sunset #Jeeplife"
Both taken with my "eye" and an iPhone, then creatively tweaked. LOL Hope ya enjoy 'em.

Glad to see you out shooting again, iPhone or Nikon, Pretz!
I've still been active. Not as much as before, but loving the D750! I've also been GREATLY enjoying the Jeep...
Roamed out into the wilderness with this group to find a few sights that "most" will never see.
Like this cliff way up over a nearby lake...
...and this very quiet area of a local trout stream, where the ice cold water hitting the August heat and humidity created a fog over the water.
The cutest pic ever, though, was at our staging area where a young man found a young lady, and they quickly decided hand holding would be a good idea.
I titled this one, "Wait... you DID say you have a Jeep, RIGHT?" How opportune was it that they just happened to be walking right in front of MY Jeep? I tried to keep the focus more on them than my four wheeled mistress, though.

Both of the below were longer exposure light painting experiments. First one with a flourescent flashlight.
This one was, by far, my favorite of the night. One flashlight, two different angles, silky smooth black and white.
