Like this image a lot MP. Seems like creaky knees go hand in hand with photography. I am right there with ya! Doesn't stop the creative process though. Keep em' moving MP. :)

Adjust your diopter? What the heck is a diopter and how can it immediately help you take better photographs. Every camera has one. Here's and overview on my blog on why this should be one of the first things you do. wp.me/peFz4j-h8

Hairy or Downy woodpecker? Similar characteristics but quite often misidentified. What is your guess?

Patrick Comtois @patrickcomtois.bsky.social · 1d

Spectacular! Lucky guy MP. We have had so little rain this summer, we have just started to turn. Peak is predicted around end of October. Cannot wait! Great reminder about the polarizer. :)

A Good Problem to Have? https://wp.me/p6YJx-izO I went about making the photo @philmont Scout Ranch like normal but once I got it into the digital darkroom, I had a problem. A good one @BedfordCamera @NikonUSA #NikonAmbassador #NikonPro

Redundancy is the key when backing up all those precious images. I would love to hear your strategies in my latest blog post here:

This TBM Avenger with those clouds was just begging for a portrait shot. Made easy by getting low to include the drama with the clouds.

The perfect bag. Is there such a thing for a photographer? Over the years I have collected more than I care to admit, but with this bag, I think it is the one. wp.me/peFz4j-88

Early morning on the lake, warm coffee, camera in hand, natural frame of the glass like water, man I cannot wait for full fall color to come.

My thoughts and review on the new 24-70 S II from Nikon. wp.me/peFz4j-et. Definitely worth adding to your gear locker.

Boy MP, talk about an image that invokes the romance of flight and passing of the seasons, you nailed it with this one. Love it!

Moose Peterson @moosepeterson.bsky.social · 14d

The Last Days of Summer wp.me/pXFNo-E1 are special with a certain romance associated with them. The challenge for me is to spread that to an image and then to you! @BedfordCamera @NikonUSA #NikonAmbassador #NikonPro

The kids are growing up and venturing out on their own. This male Northern Cardinal, still growing his brilliant red plumage, paused just long enough for his portrait. I think he thought he was safe up in the tree where it was dark, but he did not count on my flash.

Leaves are turning in certain places. Getting pumped up for when peak color starts to appear.

I was going to say good luck @moosepeterson.bsky.social , but as I am sure you are aware over your storied career, what some define as luck is simply where preparation meets opportunity and I know you are a planner so there is no doubt and A2A is coming with the A-26. Looking forward to the images.

How Time Flies wp.me/pXFNo-DK it was over fifteen years ago I was first introduced to a A-26. Instantly fell for amazing bomber. This one would never fly, then there was the next, and the next until finally ... @BedfordCamera

Anyone else out there having trouble locating this Nikon 72 mm filter? Looks as if it is backordered and quite popular. No ETA from Nikon.

The fastest creature overall on earth is the Peregrine Falcon. During its hunting dive, or "stoop," a peregrine falcon can reach speeds exceeding 240 mph.

More assistance from Nikon to help defer the crazy inflationary tariffs from the government. Act fast, ending today!
