It's been years since my last post here. I've been away from wildlife photography for a few years due to various commitments but the passion is always there. So last year I was able to get back to do some birding again and hopefully I can start posting here again regularly. Thanks for viewing.

Wow again! The D500's dynamic range is clearly demonstrated in all those shots and all those pictures show the amazing sharpness of the Nikkor 200-500 lens- a real value lens if you ask me :-)

Thank you. A real value I agree. I made the switch only last summer after shooting with Canon for many years. The transition is a bit of a challenge at first having familiarized with 7D control buttons and layouts. I missed some shots fiddling with all the controls that I could have done closing my eyes with the 7D :-).

I had my 7D2 set up just the way I wanted it, but technology has caught up with it. At this level, Canon's sensor technology is really still behind Nikon and that's a real shame. I am keeping all my Canon glass though, cause I'm sure Canon will leapfrog Nikon in the future somehow :-) |

Good-looking quackers well captured, Conrad.

Good-looking quackers well captured, Conrad. Thank you. The male hooded merganser reminds me of Don King, the famous boxing promoter  |
