True, I don't shoot weddings, you could never pay me enough to do that :) But, my sole income is stock pics (and videos), so the quality has to be there. No noise, sharp, properly exposed, proper composition. So I'm not taking pics solely for the fun of it. However, I also refuse to shoot if it's s...

No worries VLF, I know your life has been crazy. I took these this weekend. It was rainy and overcast and horrible, blah. I haven't really played...

RTR, what lens are you using in your roping pics? Amazing photos! No blur on the ropes whatsoever. I'm looking for a new portrait lens (for equine photography). Just tried Nikon 18-300 DX version and it was very soft with my D5500 camera. Still looking :/ Thanks! I'm using a Nikon 70-200 2.8. It ha...

I like that middle one :) If you were that into instant gratification, you would have marched right out to the local camera store and paid top dollar for it ;) LOL! This is Texas.

Who knew the camera would be released during Passover :( My sympathies... I know right? Oh well, it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. It's just that patience was not a virtue that I was born with! I'm all about instant gratification. =P I have some different photos to post fro...

Ack! B&H is actually closed until May 1st, so I probably won't hear anything until at least then. Big boos! I'm trying to head a rookery this weekend for some photos and I really could have used that reach. Oh well.

Racetrackreject

Thanks guys! I always have everything delivered to my office, so I should be good there, unless UPS starts only coming at lunch time again..lol. I'm kind of worried though because I read an article that said that B&H had sent out e-mails to everyone that had pre-ordered with ship dates. I have o...

Racetrackreject

Whoo-hooo!!!!! Keep us posted. Who did you get it through? I ordered through B&H after waffling between going through them and Nikon directly. They haven't sent any sort of notification out though, so I'm guessing mine won't be in the shipment tomorrow..lol. The last update I received was a wee...

Love the colors in the outfit and flack jacket! You have a great sense of the "right" photo to capture movement/motion. Thank you! I just saw that the new model Nikon D500 that I pre-ordered will be released TOMORROW!!! I just hope that I get into one of the early wave of shipments. If I ...

I think most of the others have covered, but I grew up in the Galveston area, so I'll throw my 2 cents in too. Galveston to most anywhere in Houston is not a daily commute that I would like to make at any hour. Super hot, but with a breeze, and humid, and kind dank smelling is right on. Even more da...

My head can't rest on any headrest of any vehicle I've ridden in the past several years. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel your pain in trying to find something that works.

I've only had a cow come through/over a few times. Excuse me, bull. I got in trouble for calling it a cow at the last event. lol The bullfighters are pros though, and even if something did get through, I'm not too worried as they would be all over me to keep me safe. The bulls do come up the fence ...

Racetrackreject

RTR, very nice :) I forget, do you shoot raw. Looks a little like white balance might be off in the color photo. Having said that, indoors is a pain for sure. You have a good eye and sense of timing for those action shots :) You in the arena or what lens? And nice offer on the Nikon. I have one of ...

Racetrackreject

RTR and WMW I LOVE the pics you are taking with your new lenses! Amazing! Aw, thanks so much! Here is one from last weekend, in an awful indoor arena at night. I just cannot get my mojo in those situations. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/12976869_1159853994038784_322606120310807...

Scruffy, I have a Nikon mirrorless camera with 2 lenses that I would be happy to send you and let you try out. If you think it will work for you, you can borrow it to take on your trip.

My previous Jeep had the CVT transmission. I never had any issues with it, but I only had that Jeep for about 3ish years, I think. It did get decent gas mileage for an SUV, but it also had a small engine. My new Jeep has a 9 speed transmission and I can get close to the same gas mileage if I don't d...

I haven't used the pearl paper, so I'm kind of useless to you, but I can ask around on some of the photography groups and see what they have to say about it.

I was the photographer at a bull riding finals this weekend, and one of the bullfighters offered to wear my GoPro. Glenn did an awesome job getting footage and I thought that you guys might want to check it out. This one is "mutton busting" or little kids riding a sheep https://www.faceboo...

The new one is Nikon, but the VR 1 Nikon. I thought the Tamron looked fine until I shot with this one..lol.

Racetrackreject

Was your original 70-200 f2.8? (i.e., same lens but what you have now is newer??) Just curious as I have the 70-200 f2.8 as well... No, one is Nikon and one is Tamron, but both 70-200 2.8. The Nikon has VR, which I never use anyway. I don't think the Tamron does, but not sure since I've never looked.

Racetrackreject

So which is your new lens??? I can at least have lens envy ;) I get that every time I go to the NASCAR races and watch the photographers with their 2' long lenses that are wide enough for me to crawl down the front of :oops: Oh, this is just the new 70-200 2.8 that I bought. My original 70-200 is a...

I am a long time Prime member too. When I had issues at work with IE and Amazon, I would switch to Chrome (like WMW) and that seemed to help.

Judging by my 5 packages that I was just checking the status on, I would say no issue. LOL.

I will say that I had that issue on my old work computer though. I assumed it was a computer or internet issue on my end, as I never have this problem at home.

The mosaic has been completed and it is gorgeous. I would venture to say that they used quite a bit more than 100 photos, but definitely not all.

Thanks guys! It seems that all of the rescues I have checked out don't let you pick the dog. They come out and do home visits and choose the dog they feel you should have. I understand why they do it, but I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with that sort of process. Is this normal for all Greyhound res...

And make sure you tag your photo with #rideforolivia. An artist is taking all of the photos with this tag and making a mosaic of Olivia and her horse out of them. It's going to be gorgeous.

Over 1.8 million photos have been submitted so far, as reported on various media outlets.

Thanks so much for all of the information! I have found the rescue that had the dogs at Petsmart, but I am out of their area. :( I will still look into it though, if not for now, maybe for in the future.

I've ordered from Adorama before, but the chatter on the photog pages is that they are just as bad, if not worse, than B&H. I guess I should have just ordered straight through Nikon, but I had read that they ship out in waves and I may get my camera sooner from B&H, rather than directly. My ...
