Good hearing from you, Fishchris! We are on our way to Bosque Del Apache in NM, another adventure! Dave

I went from a Canon system to a Nikon. When I had Canon, the last bodies I had were a 5D2 and a 1DIV. Long lenses were a 100-400 which I returned and got a 500mm f4 IS. I sold all Canon gear when ...

FishChris, Thank you for the kind comments. some of these are HDR,  but I try to back off the saturation. I think HDR is best used to only bring out the best in lighting: tone down the highlights ...

The new Nikon 500mm PF is hard to beat for size, weight, reach and sharpness wide open, and takes a TC with some patience. But you may have to up your budget. Dave

Excellent! I really like #1 and 4. Dave

Hey FishChris, I like it. Colors look good to my eye, nice spot on the river for the shot too! Dave

Swing by and pick me up!  I'll get my MacBook and D500 and D850 packed and memory cards cleared! :-) Dave

Thank you Alex, I think I need to go back! An amazing place that was worth the 2 day drive for me. Dave

Thanks Wayne, I had to dust some lenses off. I took the the 14-24 but only used it a couple times, seems the landscape there demands a bit more focal length. Dave

Thanks! I was pixel peeking  on that one! Dave

Thank you Kent. Dave

Nice shots, 3 & 4 are my favorites. Dave

Wow, you can make that lens sing! I never tried it doing macro before, love the first image. I also see the foxes came out and posed for you. Now that you got some reach, you can stand back a ...

Great shot! The hikers add to the scale and the depth of the image keeps leading the eye farther into the image. Dave

Thank you, yes the good light disappears quickly mid-morning. Dave

Thank you CCC! Dave

Thanks fo r the comments. I am not seeing any banding and the exposure was right on. Are you sure you are not seeing the natural banding lines and colors of the landscape? I have not seen a D850 band.

Thank you jagged! Dave

Excellent series, Evan. I still don't know how you get such close pictures of some of them. I think by now that most of the moose know you. I can't pick favorites, they are all superb. Dave

He must have been hungry!  They are ugly looking rats. Nice shots. Dave
