Help Needed With Nikon Gear AF Mystery … The Situation Tripod-mounted Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR AF lens with or without the Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-14E III with the Nikon D850. AF-C with shutter button AF. Please note that the problem only occurs when I am working with the camera oriented vertically. […] Stuff I began working on this blog post on the way up to the airport on Monday evening. I took the 4am shuttle to the airport and was at the gate early blowing up balloons. I purchased 4 ounces of stale pistachio nuts for the bargain price of $8.51; that is $34.04 per pound! I […] Stuff I went down to the lake to visit my Opossum Road Kill Cafe. The Black Vultures did a nice job on the carcass. It took a while to get into position but I did get some nice images with the tripod mounted 200-500 and the D5. Photo soon. I spent most of the rest […] Stuff On Saturday morning, Jim White and I tried for a sunrise but there was none, only clouds. On Sunday, we left early again, headed west on SR 60, and were rewarded with some not=too-bad color. There was lots to learn for Jim as we created some tree-capes. That included the K7690 trick, using self-timer/Live […] Stuff The shoulder is about the same. Master Class client Jim White had two great sessions despite solid clouds all day. The most ironic part was the former Mr. Canon, yours truly, teaching a Nikon photographer all about his camera, the D810. Jim was amazed that there was so much about the AF system that […] Stuff I went into town in the morning to get a 10,000 watt laser treatment on the shoulder. By afternoon, things seemed to be a bit better. Master Class participant Jim White drove up from Naples and arrived a bit before 4pm. Jim has been on many IPTs over the years, many of them out […] Stuff Shoulder is the same. I did get in to pool to do some stretching while blowing balloons. I got a ton of work done on the Nikon AF Fine-Tune e-Guide and did Focus Peaking AF Fine-tuning with my 80-400 VR and my new (second) D850 with and without the TC-E14. The lens alone at […] Stuff Went into town for my regular check-up in the morning and followed up with Dr. Cliff Oliver on FaceTime in the afternoon. Blew up lots of balloons and watched a few movies. Answered a ton of Used Gear (and other) e-mails and id a bit of work on the Nikon AF e-Guide. I should […] Stuff For the first time in well more than a week, I enjoyed a pain-free night of sleep by switching from my bed to the recliner section of my couch. On Tuesday I got a bit more work done on the Nikon D850/D5/D500/D7500 Focus Fine-tune Guide and plan on doing the more today. I am […] Stuff I am feeling pretty much like a bird with an injured wing. I have decided to go back to Phoenix next Tuesday for a week to get my shoulder worked on. On Monday I got a ton of work done on the Nikon D850/D5/D500/D750 Focus Fine-tune Guide and plan on doing the same today. […] Stuff Very few folks voiced their opinions — good or bad — on the five images presented yesterday. If you have a minute, please click here and partake. It became obvious when I got into bed on Saturday night in pain that I was doing too much hand held bird photography — see today’s […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel just a bit better every day. 6pm yesterday (Saturday) afternoon was the two-week anniversary of the big crash and smash. I went down to the lake on Friday afternoon and found a large colt (Image #5) and then relocated the two small colts (seen in Images 1, 3, and […] Stuff The shoulder continues to improve as I get close to the two week mark. I went into town on Thursday and Friday for some light deep tissue massage work And I was glad to find the two crane chicks in good health down by the lake in the morning. Chuck Westfall I learned […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel better but there is still lots of impingement with abduction and flexion. But everyday it becomes a bit easier to do the everyday things with my left arm that we take for granted. I did not lift a finger on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide on Thursday. As always, […] Stuff The shoulder continues to feel better but still lots of impingements with abduction and flexion. But I am finding it easier to do the everyday things with my left arm that we take for granted. And I slept a lot better on Tuesday night than I did on Monday night. I got a […] Stuff Tuesday was a dark stormy day in central Florida. My shoulder is actually showing significant improvement. Many of the simple everyday movements that had caused me pain for the past nine days are becoming easier to do. Range of motion is still quite restricted but I am pretty sure that the light that I […] Stuff Monday was more of the same: Blowing up balloons. More ice and moist hot towels on the shoulder. Did not work on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. Ate well. Spoke with Amy on the phone; she advised getting out to do some photography tomorrow. I will do just that on Tuesday morning unless we […] Stuff Had my best night’s sleep in a while on Saturday. Sunday was more of the same: Blowing up balloons. Began alternating ice and moist hot towels on the shoulder. Worked on the the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. Found out in part just how bad the Nikon camera body User’s Manuals are. Ate well. […] Stuff On Saturday I did my usual two rounds of Postural Restoration exercises, worked on this blog post, took a nap, and got some more work done on the Nikon Focus Fine-tune Guide. And that afternoon as my range of motion and freedom of movement kept on improving, I was feeling good enough for the […] Stuff I am still taking it easy and will be for a while longer. No photography, no swimming. The shoulder is getting better bit by bit very slowly. Not anywhere near fast enough for me but at my age, I need to be patient. Range of motion of the left arm with abduction and flexion […] |
