March 9th, 2018 Stuff
On Thursday morning, armed with more info, we drove to Veteran’s Oasis Park to give that location another go. We were hoping to see and photograph jackrabbit, roadrunner, and Burrowing Owl. We saw all three but only got photos of the really tall rabbits with the big ears. But we did run into wildlife biologist Ryan Olinger whom we had met and hung out with the day before at Gilbert. He volunteered to show us the Burrowing Owls at Zanjero Park. After we were done photographing the owls we ran into a silly tame pair of Greater Roadrunners and spent and hour with them. I had dinner with friends at the DC Steakhouse in Chandler.
Thanks to all who commented on the duck feeding issue questions.
The Streak
Today makes two hundred twenty-one days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about 40 minutes to prepare. With all of my upcoming free time (or not…), the plan right now is to break the current record streak of 480 … Good health and good internet connections and my continuing insanity willing.
The Used Gear Page
Action on the Used Gear Page recently has been fantastic. You can see all current listings on the Used Photo Gear page here.
Booking.Com
Several folks on the Spoonbill IPTs used the Booking.Com link below and got great rates and saved a handsome $25.00 in the process. If you too would like to give Booking.Com a shot, click here and to earn a $25 reward on your first booking. Thanks to the many who have already tried and used this great service.
Gear Questions and Advice
Too many folks attending BAA IPTs and dozens of folks whom I see in the field, and on BPN, are–out of ignorance–using the wrong gear especially when it comes to tripods and more especially, tripod heads… Please know that I am always glad to answer your gear questions via e-mail. Those questions might deal with systems, camera bodies, accessories, and/or lens choices and decisions.

This image was created at Fort DeSoto on the evening of April 21, 2017 at 6:38pm while sitting on the beach. I used the hand held Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM lens with the Canon Extender EF 2X III and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering at zero: 1/640 sec. at f/10. AWB on a sunny afternoon.
LensAlign/FocusTune micro-adjustment: -16.
AI Servo/shutter button/Expand AF: three AF points to the right and one up from the center AF point; the selected AF point was just below the bird’s eye. Be sure to click on the image to see the spectacular larger version.
Laughing Gull in breeding plumage: head portrait
|
The Under-appreciated Laughing Gull
Sabine’s Gull in breeding plumage is on my top ten most wanted list. It is both beautiful and rare. If Laughing Gull were a rare bird, it too would be highly sought after by birders and bird photographers. But on the East and Gull Coasts it is so common as to be classed a “dirt bird.” As today’s featured image shows, breeding plumage Laughing Gull is a drop-dead gorgeous species. We will have lots of opportunities to photograph this species in breeding plumage in a variety of settings doing lots of neat things on both DeSoto IPTs.
400 DO II
The Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM lens is an incredible tool. I miss mine. Either bare or with the 1.4X TC it makes a great flight lens. With the 2X TC it gives you 800mm of hand held full frame reach. It is best used on a tripod in low light especially when a TC is added. At this time, Nikon has nothing that compares with the 400 DO II. The Nikon 200-500, though a great value that offers the advantages of a zoom lens, is a full stop slower. The two lenses are very close in weight. In competent hands, however, both are capable of creating very sharp images.
Important Teleconverter Notes
Do understand that in almost all cases it is inadvisable to use a 2X teleconverter with and f/5.6 lens, especially with the very popular Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lenses. The 1.4 TCs and TC-Es should do just fine with those and other f/5.6 lenses as the last few generations of digital camera bodies off AF down to f/8.
LensAlign FocusTune Micro-adjustments
Many folks complain that they cannot make sharp images with their 2X teleconverters. But few take the time to properly micro-adjust their lenses with each TC. Notice with today’s featured image that the LensAlign/FocusTune micro-adjustment was -16. If I created the image at the default value, zero, this image would have been totally soft. Remember that a high positive or negative AFA number does not mean that your lens or your camera or your TC is faulty. You are simply fine-tuning the focus to ensure that the great majority of your images are acceptably sharp.
If you are in the dark about micro-adjusting, check out the The LensAlign/FocusTune Micro-Adjusting Tutorial e-Guide here. The LensAlign Mark II/FocusTune package requires a separate purchase.
Please Note
I have been getting lots of e-mails below on qualifying for a free Nikon D850/D5 Focus Fine-tune Guide (should I ever actually get started on and finish it). “I once met you in San Diego; do I qualify for a free guide? I bought your micro-adjusting guide; do I get a free copy of the Nikon D850/D5 Focus Fine-tune Guide? Please read the item below before e-mailing as it clearly states the qualifications for getting the guide for free 🙂
The Nikon D850/D5 Focus Fine-tune Guide
I hope to be working on a Nikon D850/D5 Focus Fine-tune Guide while I am in Phoenix. There is lots of mis-information out there on Nikon Automatic AF Fine-tune. Working with Patrick Sparkman, we perfected a method of using the Focus Peaking feature available only on the D850 to quickly and accurately micro-adjust all of your lenses and TC-Es with your D-850. Both Nikon Automatic AF Fine-tune and D850 Focus Peaking AF Fine-tune require a LensAlign Mark II kit so that you can obtain accurate results. I learned recently that the Nikon D500 DSLR does offer Automatic AF Fine-tune.
Folks who use one of my links to purchase a Nikon D850, a Nikon D5 DSLR Camera (Body Only, Dual XQD Slots), a Nikon D500 DSLR , or any Nikon gear totaling more than $2,000 will receive the new guide free. I hope to have it finished in two weeks but don’t hold me to it 🙂
Registering for an IPT

March 8th, 2018 Stuff
On Wednesday morning we drove to Veteran’s Oasis Park but did not know exactly where to go so we gave up and headed to Gilbert. It was deader than dead there so we scooted out 30+ miles to Boyce Arboretum State Park for alleged hummingbird photography. We did see some Anna’s and a male calliope in the parking lot and lots of hummers on the property but there were zero photo opps. That’s why they call it nature photography …
There was not much going on on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon but a great meal at BJ’s Brewhouse in Mesa eased the pain 🙂

March 7th, 2018 Stuff
It was a rare morning in Phoenix: cloudy for the most part. I was sort of lost without the sun and blue skies. I wound up keeping ten images, more than half of those of a single male Anna’s Hummingbird. Then therapy and more Ring-necked Ducks in flight. Just another day in Phoenix.

Another Surprising Revelation and the Demise of My Nikon D5 …
This is the bird that put a cap on the 2nd 2018 Spoonbill IPT when it flew in, landed in front of the group, bathed and flapped and preened and preened and flapped. After 30 minutes of that it looked around and took a step forward. In a whisper, I cautioned the group: “It is gonna take off.” It did. When the smoke had clear I had created almost 500 images of the bird. Three of the last four were the take-off images. All but one was more than sharp enough for me. Today’s featured image, the last one, is my favorite although the lift-off image –very similar to this one — is pretty darned good. I kept only 26 of the almost 500. Most folks would die for at least half of those that I got rid of. Such is my wonderful life.
Anyway, getting back to the point. Once I saw those image on my laptop I decided that I would keep my Nikon D5. As much as I love my D850 I was firmly convinced that for birds flying right at me — emphasis on the me — that the D5 outperformed the D850. That despite the two bodies having the identical AF system. The next day I was Focus Fine-tuning the D5 with my new 80-400 VR. I got a strange message on the back LCD. When I looked at the top LCD it said, and I quote, “ERR.” I took out the battery, cleaned the contacts, and put in a fresh battery. It still showed ERR. When I un-mounted the lens I noted that the shutter was jammed open. I packed it up and returned it to B&H for a full refund.
I am having another one delivered this week. That will have me doing lots more AF fine-tuning and give me the opportunity to get the new guide done. My plan at present is to use the D5 in pure flight situations. I may wind up with two D850s as I always make big international trips with three camera bodies.
