    If anyone ever ends up near Atlanta, Georgia, I highly suggest checking out the Georgia Aquarium. They have an incredible variety of animals and seeing the whale sharks in person is pretty amazing. The dolphin show is great too. We were there on Memorial Day, so it was pretty crowded. I only got...

    Awesome photos! What do you suppose this mark on the dolphin is? Almost looks like it was impaled with something....

    Nice images! Thanks for posting. That last one looks like a caribou. You can tell by his "shovel" that sticks out. Elk do not have those...

    I can't really help in the Nikon vs Canon debate. I'm a Canon shooter so that's all I can comment on. I do think you get a little more bang for your buck with Nikon. I think the lens you choose is a lot more important than the camera. I would reccomend spending 75% of your budget on the lens...

    Is there a particular type of wildlife you think you would shoot most often (songbirds, insects, etc.)? What lens/lenses have you picked out? I've never used a 6d II but I think it would be a decent wildlife camera based on the specs. It's a full frame camera, so it has it's benefits, but you...

    I had to renew my commercial fishing license yesterday and as I was leaving I noticed these guys in a pond in front of the Marine Resource Division office. They probably thought I was crazy when they saw me belly crawling across a mud flat :lau

    Thanks a bunch! That was my favorite image of the trip and definitely my best fish pic to date. The edit is really what made the difference though. It was a decent image straight out of camera, but the busy, bright background on the left side of the image took away from the fish and the whole...

    I have. Memory card and batteries, lol. Only took 1 time for me. Now as soon as I upload images, I clear the card and put it back in the camera before I start editing. Luckily my new cameras have two memory card slots. I have enough batteries now I just swap them out then charge. But if there's...

    This is how I approach pretty much all subjects when I do not know how they react. I will rattle of 10-12 shots, take a few steps closer, rattle off some more, get closer, shoot some more, etc. Probably why I take a thousand images every time I go out... 🤔

    Awesome. Congratulations! I have topaz denoise and have used Lightroom AI denoise but I really don't like either to be honest. Sometimes they work great and sometimes not so much for me. I prefer doing my own denoise in lightroom. It is VERY easy... I just do a subject detect mask (touch it...

    I don't think that's how you want to do it. If the shutter speed and aperture were the same, then one of those images was under or overexposed. If the ISO 1600 image was underexposed, raising the exposure in lightroom is the same thing as shooting at ISO 6400 in camera. Try the test again but...

    Low angle, nice composition, and an action shot with the tongue... Great image!
