Matt Laur Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! One of the things that re-lit my photography was the possibly crazy decision to bring some vibrant, go-go-go bird dogs into our life. The younger of the two - still ready for action and some varmint killing (between naps) - is our German Shorthaired Pointer named Regan ... who just turned 14 years old. She's remarkably lively, and still runs the place. She's The Queen. Or, princess, at least. So of course, my wife wouldn't let the occasion pass without a bit of theatrical homage to the dog's nature. And here we are. What's everyone else been shooting? Share! D810 at ISO 100 and 1/200th with a 70-200/2.8 at 80mm and f/8. Buff lights. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Heimbrandt: Lovely shot, but pedantically I think that's a greenfinch, not a goldfinch. Although I have very limited credentials as a twitcher. (More photos of Staines-based big white ducks possibly coming when I get to download some images...)

I though of one but wrote the other’s name... Hope to see those ducks in a coming Nikon Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nowhere near frog season here, still cold and windy and gray and snow on the ground. But there's a little bit of spring. The optimistic robins are trying to pull worms out of the frozen earth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 And the varmints are out, digging holes for us to fall into. But at least I get to take out my big lens and shoot at something! While I wait for the usual load error to go away I'll mention that this and the above were shot with a D7100 and a200-500/5.6 lens. No luck.....maybe on edit..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Garrard Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks, Heimbrandt. For some reason I do the same thing with green- and goldfinches. I did take some swan shots, but they're not very interesting. But spring has now properly reached the area near my office, which is where you're going to get a lot of photos from until I get better at planning. In the interests of not boring you all with entirely identical photos of the same area, I wheeled out the 58mm Petzval (for those unfamiliar, the swirl is due to extreme field curvature and astigmatism; it's an optical effect, not editing) - and learned something new: it won't focus at infinity on maximum effect setting. It's really a portrait lens, but I'm standing by my "too self-conscious to shoot strangers" position, so I found other ways to play with the toys. All of these are wide open (f/1.9) for effect, and because I couldn't be bothered to carry the Waterhouse stops with me, and still a D810 because I'm still saving for the D850... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
