After a week of hot, then stormy weather - it was nice to be out just wandering some over the weekend. The outer 'burbs of the DC area are home to all sorts of things you don't see every day (unless you know where to look, or stumble across them). We took the scenic route home from picking up fresh peaches at an orchard, and wandered past a polo club holding practice. No exotic or rough-and-ready polo action to be had, but just a reminder of how many different walks of life there are within scant miles of each other. Where did you and your Nikon wander this past week? Share some photos!polo_practice.thumb.jpg.dd8f8dc93a8d6032a2812a5affafcdbc.jpg

Used a D810 at ISO 400 and 1/2000th with a 70-200/2.8 at f/5 and 200mm.

It has been a while since I captured tennis images. Since the Stanford Tournament is in town, I went over in the last three days.

All images using either the 80-400mm AF-S VR (first) or 300mm/f4 PF (second and third) on an FX body.

18-year-old Catherine "CiCi" Bellis is from near-by Atherton, just 3 miles from Stanford.

Garbine Muguruza from Spain is the reigning Wimbledon champion; she won that just a couple of weeks ago in mid July.

Happened to be at the beach with some wind blowing and the kite and windsurfers out and about.

D810 with AF-S 80-400 at 400mm, 1/1600s, f/5.6, ISO 200

ISO 100, rest same as above

 

Was playing with 3D AF mode on both the D810 and D500. While moderately useful on the D500, it was next to useless on the D810, jumping all over the place while occasionally hitting it spot on.
