A week on the Chesapeake Bay during the height of summer. We saw thirteen different kinds of weather and all of it beautiful. Here are just a few shots, taken with a Nikon D810 and Nikkor 200-500mm ƒ5.6. (These are all downsampled, but are quite sharp and crisp in full […]

The neighborhood I live in has a small pond, off the historic Town Branch Creek, which runs behind my house. It is a typical suburban track-home neighborhood, with houses barely 8 feet apart, but we are right on the edge nature and it has always surprised me how much flora […]
This week began our “self-isolation” in Lexington, Kentucky. More or less. The University is closing up, restaurants and bars have shut down, but we can still get take-out, gas, and go to the grocery stores. Spring is also coming in with force and it is beautiful. The birds are raucous […]
I was invited to throw out the first pitch at the UK v. Vanderbilt game. The latter is ranked #2 and it was a tough loss for the Wildcats. (My pitch was on target, but short.) I had my camera with the 200-500 lens, but not much opportunity to use […]

Taking pictures of a concert aren’t easy. It requires fast glass and access. Recently I have met some wonderful people who just happen to be incredible musicians. SM invited me to a gig for the Beattles cover band he is a part of, SixtyFour. It was a small venue, a […]
UPDATE: I spotted a hummingbird from a long way off. Take a look at the uncropped and cropped photos. Not bad. Remember this is with a D810 and the 200-500, handheld. Yesterday the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6E arrived and it seems like suddenly all the critters in the backyard disappeared! There will be […]
This weekend was the fourth running of the US Grand Prix in Austin, TX. I joined two close friends for an incredible weekend. Wet, but incredible. We sat through a torrential downpour for the UT game, they beat K State fairly convincingly (if you ignore the second and third quarters) […]
