gtilford Loc: Woodstock, Ontario, Canada

I had a terrible day out and about with the Nikon z50 on Sunday July 30, it seemed that nothing worked and my photos were mostly just trash. I tried on the tripod, hand held, even seated hand held on my stool which is my usual go to anymore because of medical issues.

So on August 1st I decided to just head out of the house here in Woodstock, Ontario with no real destination in mind but just a day to wander, these are just a few of the photos I was able to capture. I am most happy with how my Mute Swan photos turned out after using some of the suggestion from members here on a post earlier this year.

All photos taken on my Nikon d300 using the Sigma 100-400mm lense

Mute Swan showing off, there is a pair here in Woodstock and I am happy to say they still have 4 cygnets so far this year, usually the snapping turtles get over half of them.

One outstanding wildlife series. Never, never let go of that Nikon D300. Many thanks for sharing. :)

You, your camera and your lens did very well with this series. I second Tonytee, the D300 is an excellent camera and its 12 Mp. are good enough for beautiful enlargements.
Advanced technology is a good thing but technology alone does not take pictures.

Very good! I still use my D300 and the batteries from 2009 when I bought the camera still work fine and analyze in the camera as new!

Thank you, and you are correct I have had that camera so long it just a part of me

Thanks and although I like the fact the z50 weighs a lot less, the muscle memory of using the d300 from using it for so long just makes it feel effortless, I suppose in time the z50 may feel the same

Thank you and I agree the d300 has always been great for me
