Unclear why pic 4 second post went thumbnail, if a mod could fix....I made 3 attempts to fix.

Thanks!

Trustom Pond is in South Kingstown RI btw....as you can see cloudy day but bright albeit flat light.

All shots with Nikkor 50 1.4 AF D, D300 Manual mode most underexposed 1/2 to 1 stop due to flat light. All ISO 200 Jpegs straight from camera except froggies are slightly cropped, the foot zoom doesn't work on lily pads.....I got some shots of Mute swans but they are not native so I refuse to post!

No birding lens on board for this trip......a nice walk and continue to learn my fabulous D300!

Still rockin' the old school 50 1.4 D:

Bit of a walk with the dog, a friend we found and results of another walk:
