I go to StubHub and look for rainout makeup games.  The ticket prices are often way below face value.  Or wait until the day of the game and the same thing often happens.

The AF and Exposure is just right on... under truly variable lighting -- direct sun to partly cloudy.

New York Airshow 2021, at Orange County Airport.  Great show.

Brought my D500 and the Nikkor 300/4 AF-S to the New York Airshow this past weekend.  Best camera I've ever used.  AF is fast and deadly accurate, time and again.    All shots are hand-held.

Used my new D500 today at the New York Airshow.  965 shots taken and 47% still left in the battery that came with the camera.  EN-15b.

Actually I used the older and larger non-PF 300/4 AF-S.

Actually, I brought a Tokina 300/2.8 to a Sox game 2 summers ago, with no hassle. Sometimes you'll get an over-zealous security person at the gate, but in general, I haven't often had a problem. He ...

Thanks!  Here's their policy: Cameras and Video Equipment Single-frame flash photography is permitted as are extended-length zoom lenses provided they do not interfere with the game or event or ...

Agreed totally.  Wouldn't change a thing.

Had a great time at the ballpark last night.  These are all SOOC, no crop, no nothing (well converted directly from RAW to JPEG via VIEW NX-i).  I couldn't be happier with my new D500.  Truly.  AF ...

Used my new D500 with the Tokina 100/2.8 macro...  Question: If I change my file names to start with DSD instead of the factory setting, is that a big deal? I don't want my browser to confuse new ...

So, I traded in my D7200, and now have a new D500. The D7200 was a phenomenal camera for me. There were times I needed a bit larger buffer and faster AF. Plus, as a real fan of OVF and DX, I wanted ...

Sandisk used to offer a recovery program which required having the erring card to be left in the camera, and plugging the camera into the computer.  It saved a friend's files who'd accidentally ...

Thanks all for the thoughtful ad informative replies.  While I don't need a very large buffer, I can always use faster AF acquisition, accuracy, and perseverance with a subject once acquired. I ...

I may move from my D7200 to a D500. What's the deal with the XQD memory cards? What cards are identical? I see CF Express... I usually use Sandisk or Lexar 32GB's max. What would be the best ...

I'm using the Nikon WP-N3. https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/waterproof-housing/wp-n3-waterproof-housing.html Got it on clearance.  Then hunted down extra O-Rings.

Thanks!  Truth be told, I got the WP-N1 and WP-N3 via that very same clearance sale.  I then went looking on Ebay for 2nd hand cameras to go inside.  Bottom line is I have a used J4 in a great ...

Took my J4 underwater averaging 50 feet, in Akumal.  Shot RAW, no flash.  Adjusted WB later on.
