Stuff<\/h3>\n

Yesterday was a particularly great day all around. In the morning, we found two crane nests with eggs. Then, about 20 Sandhill Cranes flew in at about 7:30am. And a gorgeous Great Blue Heron in breeding plumage with ultramarine lores was on our perch in the morning and then again at sunset. All of that bodes well for the Master Classes. Click here<\/a> for details. <\/p>\n

In the afternoon the brilliant Patrick Sparkman tutored me on a miraculous new method of micro-adjusting the Nikon D-850 based on its Focus Peaking Feature. A short guide will be coming soon. I micro=adjusted my brand new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f\/4E FL ED VR lens<\/a>, two 200-500s, and then all of those with the TCE-14IIIs, and then the 600 with the TCE-20III. All in less than two hours with most of that time spend setting up the LensAlign kit and setting up the gear perfectly to assure True Parallel Alignment. The latter as detailed in the The LensAlign\/FocusTune Micro-Adjusting Tutorial e-Guide<\/a>. As I type and finish up this blog post in the car in the dark we are on the way to a morning shoot at Gatorland. Photos and GL info soon \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

The Streak<\/h3>\n

Today makes two hundred one days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about two hours to prepare. With all of my upcoming free time (or not …), the plan right now is to break the current record streak of 480 … Good health and good internet connections and my continuing insanity willing. <\/p>\n

More Phoenix Bird Photography Help Needed<\/h3>\n

While the Gilbert Water Ranch is a great location and I am looking forward to re-visiting, I am hoping to add a bit of species variety on my next Phoenix visit. If you know a good location for photographing songbirds, especially desert songbirds, please do share by leaving a comment. If you have a backyard feeder (or feeders) in relatively spacious natural area, I would love to help you set it up for bird photography or to help you improve your set-up if you already have one. Contact via e-mail<\/a> is fine. <\/p>\n
