    I probably have more of these than I care to admit. :emoji_blush:

    Wishing your parents (and you) a smooth transition into their new living arrangements. The model railroad setup reminds me of the museum in San Diego. I was never an enthusiast myself, but seeing others' enthusiasm for something tends to be infectious.

    Yeah, it could be the processing or the camera. I noticed it looked kinda mushy at the full size view.

    I got to visit a creamery where they had just had a calf born that morning. I didn't quite get the calf's eye in focus like I wanted because my camera's Eye AF setting was set to prioritize for people, and I didn't think to check that setting in advance or in the moment. So this gave me an...

    Not sure if this is the same mantis from a few weeks ago. That one was brown; this one was green and appeared more developed.

    Do you know what the white balance was set to? That would affect the color more than the shutter speed (which I understand would usually have no effect on the color).

    I would not want to be whatever or whoever it is eyeballing. I like how the tiger is nicely balanced with the vegetation to the right.

    I don't mind the higher angle, but agree that more isolation and separation from the backgrounds would make for stronger images. I also get distracted by subjects' eye lines, so the dog on the left looking off camera moves my eye out of the frame when it should be focused on the image. Just to...

    Lovely work! I like the sunset shots especially.

    That you're photographing pets makes it more challenging, because the usual advice is to find a different location (e.g. entirely shaded) or have the subject face a different direction (e.g. so their back is to the sun). In the last two, they are essentially backlit, so if you want the subject...

    Haha. You can see their lack of commitment in the pre-contact photo.

    I've only done Costco. but have been pretty pleased with the results. I'd like to know of alternatives though.

    John, you should be happy to know you've been the direct cause of most of my GAS over the last few years. :) I picked up a 50-150 Sigma, later a Tamron 150-600, and various others because of your recommendation to buy from KEH.

    Maybe he meant the manual actuation of the autofocus. :D

    Maybe if you move the birds into the hot spot. Voila, kill two birds... :D But seriously, epic shot.

    I would like to do more, too. But this is the last thing I did with October's full moon. Hopefully the weather is friendly with the last super moon of 2016. Moon from Cloud by Cameron Yee, on Flickr

    We go out there regularly, but the smoldering brush after a controlled burn was pretty unexpected. I think what I like most is that lone branch arcing between the two groups of trees. Without it, it would seem more conventional.

    Indeed. I probably should have stopped and pulled out my DSLR at that point, but I mostly shot it to send to my wife.

    Thanks for the reminder about Yongnuo. I was aware of their manual strobes, but didn't know they had ETTL models, which he would definitely want if he also wants to do snapshots.

    There aren't many third party flash manufacturers, so you're pretty much looking at a Canon Speedlite. The 430 EX would probably suit your purposes.

    Yes, at the time TMAX was considered amazing quality for 3200 ISO (can't remember if I pushed it to 6400 or not). I started playing with Lightroom's de-noising, but decided against it, mostly on principle. I didn't see it making that much of a difference and the grain definitely has its charms...
