This evening, just a quick Nikon Wednesday snapshot as I stopped for a bite at a general store down the road from the client I was visiting. This sliver of the moon was playing tag with these fast moving clouds as the sun was diving behind the tree line. Snaphots: go!

It's 1800 x 900 already!

 

Have i got some kind of 'show at fullsize automatically'' setting, err, set?

 

It depends upon the size and settings of your monitor. If your monitor is capable of showing the image at "full-size" you will not see the box on the image that says "Click this image to show the full-size version"; the image will be displayed full-size automatically. As an example Bill Boyd's image of the duck (post #6) just under my image show the box on my monitor. Does it on yours?

A photograph of my girlfriend's youngest border collie taken with my newest lens:

This is Waya being photographed using my D500 and Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. The lens is a "keeper." I just set its aperture to f/8 (it's the only lens I use on my D500 that has an aperture ring, so I set my D500 to use the aperture ring to select aperture instead of the dial on the camera) and focus it to two feet and everything from about ten inches to infinity will be in-focus. I even put tape over the aperture and focus rings so they stay there, and I can quickly remove the tape to adjust aperture for lower light or focus down to the minimum focus distance of 1 foot which at f/22 puts the closest part of the acceptable DOF at 4 inches. I will have more to say about this lens in a separate thread; in the meantime, here's a 100% magnification (or "crop") from above:

Apparently I had my focus set too close, otherwise the tree behind her would also be in-focus even at this level of magnification.
