I was on Tybee Island, GA this past weekend and captured a few sunrise photos. I did not have a tripod so this was all handheld, but the results are not bad.

Attending the annual Fall Meet at Keeneland in Lexington KY. It is part of the Breeder’s Cup and a very fun day. I was unable to bring in a monopod and the Nikon AF-S FX Nikkor 200-500 is just a wee bit heavy when using by hand. Nikon D810.
Florence, “Firenze” in Italian (I only point that out because I had no idea), is a beautiful, busy, and crowded city. Taking good pictures of the buildings would require a tilt-shift lens, but I was fascinated by the people taking selfies. I am not going to criticize them, I don’t […]

When we stay in Freiburg we walk into town at least once a day, just to stretch our legs and pick up some groceries. (These little fridges make US-size shopping impossible!) Today I took my D810 and 50mm 1.8.
