Hi all, this week we're going to talk a little about protecting yourself during work in the field.
When shooting in the outdoors your knees can talk a beating, getting down on hard or rocking ground can cause issues later. But there are a few low cost items to consider to make the process more pleasant. Mats used for gardening or yoga are great low cost options, consider add on too these as well, if the ground is wet carrying a garbage bag to put under the mat is helpful. If you working on very uneven rocky or very hard ground another option would be knee pads such as used by skateboarders. They're very durable but allow a full range of motion.

Hi all, I decided to share some updated observations around the Nikon 200-500mm VR as much of this month I’ve been using the lens with a Nikon TC14E version 2 Teleconverter. I am very happy to report the combo has performed extremely well. Allowing me to capture what we tend to call the little ones (songbirds) and some father away duck shots. The sharpness is still outstanding, with the teleconverter attacked my starting F-stop is F8. And using handheld is still awesome with its VR rated at 4½ stops improvement. Remember too this lens works great on full frame cameras, but performance is awesome on DX as well. current list of cameras it works with follows: D5,D4, D4s, D3, D3s, D3P, D3x, Df, D810, D800/e, D750, D700, D610, D600, D300, D300s, D7000, D7100, D7200, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3300, D3200, D3100 and newer Overall, if your shooting Nikon and looking for a great birding, wildlife shooting option that won’t break the bank! This lens which you can fine for around $1400.00, and a TC14 converter might the perfect combo. Till next time.

Amber sunglasses of the Blue-Blocker kind are magic when it comes to shooting great Black and White images. Wearing them you'll be able to see the scene crisply and in near monochrome, so that the shapes and textures essential to powerful black and white photography just out at you!
Till Next Time Happy Clicking Lance If you ever suffered from a computer crash, or external hard drive failure you know how vulnerable data is. So my tip this week in relation to your Camera memory Cards. When buying cards, allot of us think more storage is better, when actually buying several medium capacity cards rather than one large one is a better choice. That way, if one card goes back, you won't lose all your photo's. Some cameras have slots for two memory cards, which can be extremely handy. As you can program your camera to store raw images on one card and copy in JPEGs on the other.
Till next time Happy Clicking Lance |
