TCR only handles Nikon. They have a large stock of clean, used gear— and will order new gear with fast turn around. Unless you have been a Canon dealer you probably don't know how the Big C treats the small dealer; it can cost the Little D more to sell their cameras than the Little D makes from the sale— therefore SE AZ has lost all its once upon a time Big C dealers.


You mean only sells Nikon gear, right? Seems like their website says they do repairs on most of the major brands.

I was not aware their was a repair shop in Tucson, good to know.

I have a 500C that I loaned to a relative years back that I never got back. If he still has it, I am thinking of getting it back and getting a digital back. Have you considered this option?

Rick, it seems you are getting a lot of shots of pyrrhuloxia. That is really cool. We don't seem to have any (many?) here in Tubac. Can you recommend where I can find and photograph. You are getting some really nice shots!

It just seems to me these guys seem to do a bunch of work for minimal rewards, but they keep at it. Captured this immature bird at the Chilean coast near Santiago on my way to the Falklands last December. Hope you enjoy.

Sony A1, 70/200 II plus 1.4x converter (280mm), 1/3200, ISO 800.

I doubt the PGA allows cameras other than the pro's. If you are interested in photograph pro golfers, go to a practice round. Many times cameras are allow.

They are tough to get and you succeeded here. Love the flight and wonderful background. Just a thought, this is a crop, do you have a bit more room in front of the bird?

If 30 fps is good, how good is 120 that you get with the 19III. I can hardly select my keepers at 30 fps. Considering your shot, at 120 frames per second, you basically have 4 of those images to choose from. The other claim to fame of the a93 is the global shutter. Funny, I don't see any affects of a rolling shutter in your image. You refer to "your clients". What type of adventures do you guide and can you provide some info? Thanks

On a white bird in bright sunlight zebras can be "sometimes" be miss leading. Manual exposures are best and going down a couple of stops underexposed usually gets the bright lite feathers good and shadows can be brought back in post.


I shoot nothing but manual. Camera metering systems can sometimes be faked out by highlights. Determining middle grey as you do by metering and then underexposing to compensate for bright subjects can work, but I find that by using zebras, once the zebra function is set up properly, gives me great results on controlling the over exposed pixels as confirmed by Raw Digger. Happy shooting!😁

Sony and Nikon have an even better trick for white birds, Highlight or Highlight Weighted meter mode. It ensures that the brightest white feathers will never go above the raw limit.

The only thing you need to watch out for are highlights that might actually be brighter than the feathers. But this will only happen if there is a light source or the reflection of a light source in the frame because white feathers are about the most reflective of all natural objects.

For more information, take a look at Backlit scene using Highlight Weighted Metering

Never heard of that. I'll check it out. I may be wrong, but do you use it in some sort of auto exposure mode?

I like the idea of having a high resolution camera, like my A7Riv and A1, because I mainly shoot birds and often need to crop for composition. Having a larger sensor gives me more flexibility for doing so.
