I don't pretend to understand the fascination either Erich but it exists nonetheless. I have been driving by this structure, and I use the term loosely, for 11 years. Each year it seems a bit more unhappy with its lot in life.

One day I will have the Nikon with me but I generally don't take the camera to the next town when the only reason for going is a couple of groceries so these are iPhone pics with a little help from Photoshop Express. The only other thing on that road is the town's poo-pond which is not all that scenic.

This building faces east and the morning sun helped out with the usual shadows that happen later in the day. What can I say, it called, I stopped.

Nikon outfoxed me. As I do a fair number of nature photography trips, the D4s was the only game in town as the D600 and D800 have very low frame rates compared to the D4s 12 per sec. If the D500 (frame rate is 10 per sec) had been available, I would have gone to it. As one usually doesn't get real close to animals, I crop almost all animal photos. As a result, a "C" sensor has advantages in that the animals appear to be closer and it's easier to make sure they are in focus. I also find myself in a lot of situations where I can't use really heavy lenses like boats or where a lot of walking is involved. In the Pantanal, I had one camera ready for birds in flight (The D4s with a Nikon 70 to 200) and one camera for Jaguars (D610 with the Nikon 1.5 lb 300mm).

The Nikon D4s has a buffer that holds about 80 to 90 RAW shots. The Nikon D500 buffer holds 200 Raw shots. On my next trip to the Galapagos and the Ecuador cloud forest, I'm taking the D4s and a D500. I'll likely use the 300 on the D500 which makes it a 450mm lens and the 70 to 200 on the D4s.
