Seriously trivial thoughts
In my May 7, 2016 post, “Nikon D7200/D750 owner can’t click the buy D500 button…so far,” I laid out the reasons for my hesitation in upgrading my D7200 to the new D500. Basically, I felt that my D7200 was “good enough” and I used my D750 most of the time anyways. Well, Nikon finally put …
Well, it’s Black Friday and I had to–quite literally–get up at the crack of dawn to…that’s right, take photos of some dogs! HAHA This special group of dogs from the Kirby Animal Shelter was boarding a transport captained by Matt Montes bound for the great Pacific Northwest and beyond! Good luck my canine friends!
Here are some shots at an adoption event at Pet Supplies Plus on November 15, 2016. The dogs are from the Kirby Animal Shelter, if you’re interested. Finally got to take my Nikon D500 out for a spin! It is everything people are saying and more. Incredible camera!
Took some shots of ducks, egrets and cormorants down at Grass Valley Lake. Set up some bird seed and zip-tied a dead branch to my deck railing and got some nice shots of Stellar Jays, woodpeckers and even a Northern Flicker. The birds didn’t seem to care it was a set up ;-)
As powerful as Lightroom is, it is a dog as far as speed goes when culling or browsing through photos. I found that adding Camera Bit’s Photo Mechanic to my workflow saves me tons of time. Despite it’s $150 price tag, the time savings is more than worth it.
I have to say that Lightroom’s Flag filter UI has got to be one of the poorest UI designs in the history of UI designs…but I digress… For a long while, I could not figure out how to display only the photos that have not been rejected. I was sure you could, but I never …
I had trip planned to Lake Arrowhead, CA. and wanted something fun to play with. I decided on the Nikon Coolpix P900. Ever since its announcement last year, I’ve been more than a little intrigued by this bad boy with its effective 2000mm focal length zoom. My hesitation up til now stemmed from the fact …
This is Sara Smith’s dog Buddy! Always fun hangin’ out with Sara and Matt Montes. We had a special guest visiting from Colorado, Hayley Kemp, Kimberly Kemp’s daughter. (Didn’t have my Nikon gear with me so had to make due with my Sony RX100M2.)
The weather finally cooperated and I got out to the MMK9 Playday in Kirby. Humid as heck though.
It’s been a couple months since I’ve been able to take some dog photos. Finally, got a chance at today’s Barket Market.
