Take a look at this and be sure to look at all three pictures.  I use filters on all my lenses just as a precaution.

ANOTHER HOLIDAY HELPER

Our good friend, Chip, has come to our rescue once more. Because my husband has had medical problems lately it’s impossible for him to get up and fix screens etc.  So Chip came and helped us.  We’re having family here for the next month and wanted to have the house in good shape…but not easy [...]

HELPERS AROUND THE HOUSE -Nikon D3 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S lens & an Old AIS Manual Focus Gem

It must be the holiday season because we are covered up with workers. We’re trying to get ready for our family coming over the holidays.  Today Duke pressure cleaned our roof.  When you live in Florida you have to do the roof every year or every two years at the most.  The tile gets mildewed [...]

BACKYARD BIRD AND FLOWER – NIKON 80-200MM f4 AIS MF LENS AND NIKON D3

Late today I went out back to walk the dogs.  The lens I used is one I couldn’t sell when I was selling some older  photo equipment.  I used it today with the Nikon D3 DSLR camera and I like it lots.  It’s a manual focus, push pull lens.  It’s the  old 80-200mm F4 AIS [...]

Nikon 105mm F2.8 VR MACRO Lens and Nikon D2X – Flower

This is one of my favorite flower pictuers.  It was taken up at Glen Lake near Traverse City, Michigan.  I got it with my 105VR lens and the Nikon D2X DSLR camera.  I have since sold that camera but won’t ever sell the 105 VR lens.  It’s a good one and I always get good, [...]

PORKY PELICAN at DING DARLING – NIKON 500MM & NIKON D2X

This picture is one I got a year ago out at Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary on Sanibel Island, Florida. I don’t think I’ve  ever seen a fatter Pelican.  I’ve since sold the D2X camera but still use the 500mm lens often.  It works wonderfully well when shooting the birds at the sanctuaries and wildlife preserves.  [...]
