Love your Cardinals Fosgood. Haven't seen one since I left Massachusetts in 1998. Supposedly they're in AZ but I haven't seen one. We have a bird that looks similar, a Pyrrhuloxia, but they don't seem to make it this far north just in southern AZ. I enjoy your images.

Hi all,
Saw this eagle land when we were on the other side of the lake. By the time we got there 45 minutes later he/she was still there and let us walk right under the tree.

I have returned my Tamron 16-300 lens and Nikon 5100 body to supposedly synch the auto focus and match camera and lens perfectly. Each time after considerable time and shipping costs, my lens/camera auto focus was worse. Now they want me to return both for a third time plus send sample pictures that areout of focus. My question is when is it time for me to reasonably request a replacement lens?
Just went through a similar situation. My Tamron 16-300 wouldn't autofocus at longer distances with both my Nikon D500 and D300. Focus on something a couple of hundred yards out and fuzzy, distance scale would read between 8 and 20 feet (Tamron's response was "the distance scale is not calibrated," yea but that's a bit off. Into them twice, thought it was better but as you can see from a recent image taken in Honduras, not so (AF-C, Single center focus, back button). No issues with any other lens' on the D500. Returned it and replaced with a Nikon 18-300 3.5-5.6 ... refurb from Nikon ... yes, I know, only 90 day warranty instead of 6 years! No adjustments done to attached image.

Yep, I think I saw one at B & H for $789.

NikonUSA said they didn't service the D300 anymore? That's surprising and disappointing.
Surprised me too, just assumed they serviced anything Nikon.

Hello All,
Finally replaced my D300 in June with a D500. Figured I would keep the D300 as a back up or for carrying a shorter lens when using my 200-500 Nikkor on the D500. Anyway I though that since it had never been serviced I might send it in for a general clean and check but they said no "we don't service the D300 anymore." Any suggestions for reputable service folks? Or should I just pick up a second D500 as a back up .... Ha! Don't let my wife hear that ... maybe a 7200. Probably at this point just a service for the 300! Thanks,
Dale

Thank you SteveLew. They definitely lend themselves to B&W. I use ON1 for my conversions.

Thanks jaymatt. B&W always fun to try. It was the Upper Canyon.

Thanks Nikonian. Must say I've always been a B&W fan. Guess it's what you grew up with. Here's a couple from the early 70s in New York and Boston.
