Hello Nikon people, and a good Wednesday to all. Though it has been long since the last one, it's another Wayback Wednesday for me, as I've only been shooting client stuff that doesn't always go here. So from the whatever-camera-you-have-with-you department, here's a snapshot taken with the dainty little D3200 a few years back. This Great Dane was waiting for his person to wrap up business in the Post Office. Share some photos, new or from the way-back!great_dane_sunroof.thumb.jpg.71e9a7d6bf213acd936b93981d0e6103.jpg

I had my 200-500mm zoom on my D500 to photograph birds, and all of a sudden I saw this plane with 4 engines. It turns out to be a British Airways Air Bus A380. I have been on one exactly once, when we flew from Johannesburg to London two years ago, also on British Airways.

 

I captured this image on the 500mm end, wide open at f5.6. This is the entire frame scaled down, without cropping.

Even an oil platform can look pretty in early morning light

D500 with 200-500 at 310mm, f/5.6, 1/1250s, ISO 250

Nice Dieter. Is that off the coast of Santa Barbara? I have driven by that area many times, and those platforms seem to be very far off shore. They look more like a bunch of aircraft carriers on the horizon.

 

Was there a chain-linked fence in front of you?

This is platform Holly sitting about 2 miles off Coal Oil Point in Goleta; closer to the coast than all the others. It's been inactive since 2015. When you drive 101 South and see the ocean for the first time after passing Gaviota Tunnel, you encounter Heritage, Harmony, and Hondo. Traveling South, Holly comes into the view, with a distant backdrop of Hillhouse, A, B, C, Hogan, Houchin, and Heny closer to the coast and Habitat a bit farther off.

Nope, hanging twigs from a tree.

Just returned from Glacier. It was quite smoky there, most of my photos are pretty hazy so it wasn't the most photographic trip. But here are a couple. D750+24-85VR.
