Well worth looking on eBay for a Gossen Luna-Pro F.
Somewhat old now but still a stunning meter for flash work. Supports both incident and reflected readings.
Uses a standard 9v battery.
Mine is still going well.

I still use my Luna-Pro F (Flash) and it still serves me well. especially when balancing light sources.
I do not think you will get a lot for it if you sell it so it is well worth keeping.

I second this unit. I also have been using it for several years on a D800e without issues. It has the advantage that it does not use the hot shoe.

How can I photograph trophies without having my own reflection in the plate on the trophy base or light reflections off the trophy. I am using a Nikon Coolpix camera, Model P90
Give it a misting with Pure and Simple cooking spray (or equivalent product from Ouagadougou)

I feel somewhat confident that this photo is a Peregrine Falcon,
Looking at the size of the Cyclone fencing behind it, I would say it is quite small.
I think it is our old friend the American Kestrel.
On second thought it does not have the banding below the eyes. So I might have to rethink that one.

Out walking around the lake this morning when this little hawk type bird landing on a fence post near me with its fresh catch a little mouse. Did not think it was a hawk at first as it was very small. But looking at the photo's now it has hawk features. I could not find it in my bird book.
We live in Colorado.

It is an American Kestrel.

It certainly is a good looking devise. Being manual doesn't bother me. What about you?
Big money for an unsharp lens. You can achieve much the same with gel on a filter.
Also it is designed for full frame cameras, so you may bot get the full affect with (say) a D7000.

If you like I will nail the antelope for you.
Indian Antelope (Juvenile) also called Blackbuck. Now a common pest in parts of the US.
With rubber balls glued onto his horns to stop him wrecking things.

Visited Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon this past weekend (www.wildlifesafari.net). It is a large private game refuge which you pay to drive thru. It has an extensive collection of animals from all around the world to view and photograph. Had a great time. Here are two photos that I could not identify the species. Can anyone help?
EDIT: The crane is a White Naped Crane.

I checked the big bird book from Nat Geo and I think I am right. The only thing is this guys eyes are black and the book showed red eyes.
I recall feeding these things some time ago when I was in southern California. They hung around outside where
I was staying. I never recall red eyes on them, so I think the book is wrong.

I see, so it's like the Eye-Fi card.
Yes, but I think it is a bit better. It also takes microSD cards up to at least 64Gb so you just swap cards in it if you use them up.

Oliver,
Perhaps your next camera should be a Canon EOS, it performs this task very well, and the Nikon user manual supports this under Live View.

However there is little point in applying corrections to the camera's auto focus system if you have the auto focus system turned off while you are messing with live view.
You may have noticed that when you half press the shutter button to focus the lens, the mirror does not flip up and the shutter does not open. Once the mirror is up the normal autofocus system no longer works as it relies on a small portion of the image to pass through the semi silvered mirror to be projected down to the auto focus detectors in the bottom (usually) of the camera.

OddJobber,
Before you seriously consider fine tuning your auto focus, try this instead.
Turn on Live View, use your Auto Focus and select an element in the scene to be in sharp focus.

This is just supporting the snake oil salesmen. A bit like womens' anti aging cream. It does not work even though it is a multi billion dollar market.
An example of a solution in search of a problem. And yours does not work either.
People are better off going out and taking photos.
