Stuff On Friday afternoon I met the IPT group and we headed out to Fort DeSoto for a free extra session. Those who crossed the small bay at low tide did well with a dancing Reddish Egret and a nice spoonbill. As my hernia was bothering me I opted to stay back and work with […] Stuff Anita and Loren went down to the lake early and stayed till 11:30am! As I type we are headed over to DeSoto with a stop at Ikea in Tampa to order some cabinets that I looked at in Phoenix. We hope to get out to do a bit of photography late on Saturday. […] Stuff On Friday Jim drove me across the state to Bradenton for the stem cell/PRP/Prolozone injections. Before we left the shoulder was feeling pretty darned good. We left just after Anita and Loren headed down to the lake to photograph. I had injections at four sites and the process was pretty much a piece of […] Stuff On Thursday I went down to the lake with client-friends/house guests Anita North and Loren Waxman, both of whom were with me on the 2017 Galapagos Photo-cruise. We did well with a family of two handsome adult cranes and two too-cute colts. The shoulder is still the shoulder and the inguinal hernia is still […] Stuff My long travel day on Tuesday came to an interesting end. With my flight from PHX to MCO delayed 3 hours I called Jim and told him that I would take a limo home. My flight got in at about 11:30am and it took a while for the luggage to come out. My driver […] Stuff As I mentioned yesterday, the morning of Monday, April 9, 2018 at the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch was a magical one; I wound up keeping 60 images. I share my very favorite with you here today. But there were lots of close seconds. I returned to the same spot on Tuesday morning […] Stuff The morning of Monday, April 9, 2018 at the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch was magical. I found a great spot with perfect reflections and zero wind, made lots of wonderful avocet and stilt images, and was able to cross a nemesis bird off my list: drake Cinnamon Teal. Got both flight and […] Stuff The Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch continued to mystify. We found a perfect spot in the mud with still, open blue water in front of us. As we settled in there were stilts and avocets and dowitchers close by and right down sun angle. Before we made an image a Peregrine stooped on […] Stuff The Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch is great but is a tough place to shoot. With the constantly changing water levels the spot that was fabulous on Monday is no darned good at all on Tuesday and the location that was excellent on Tuesday is a waste of time on Wednesday … None-the-less, […] Stuff I photographed at Gilbert in the morning. After a slow start things picked up nicely. The shoulder is getting a bit better each day. We got the MRI report and while most folks would opt for surgery at this point, I have decided after discussion with Dr. Oliver, physical therapist Amy Novotny, and friend […] Stuff Blog regular and IPT veteran Ramona Boone hired me for a morning session at Gilbert in hopes of brushing up her understanding of working in Manual mode, Though Thursday morning paled in comparison to Wednesday morning we had lots of good opportunities for me to teach exposure and for her to learn and practice […] Problem Solved; Thank You Joe Przybyla! Via e-mail from friend and BPN Member Joe Przybyla: Hi Artie, Maybe you’ve already done this, but you might try cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera. It might be that the camera and lens not communicating. Joe As soon as I read Joe’s e-mail I was confident […] Stuff I slept long but not very well on Tuesday morning but did not realize that the sunrise was at 6:11am. I got out of bed and hustled over to Gilbert. As I was setting up I missed a long, wings raised copulation by one minute. I was back at the room early blowing balloons. […] 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 […] |
