We have plenty of Coyotes here also. We love the Roadrunners, because they keep the snakes away. We also have about 20 turkeys in our back yard every day that keep the snakes away also.

(Download)

I posted three roadrunner photos on the site. I had a response that said I wish you would have downloaded them so they could see the photos better.
I shot the three photos through a glass window from the kitchen. I was happy that they came out so well.
Thanks in advance.

We live at the Retreat, which is in Cleburne, Texas. Close to Ft. Worth, but far away from the hustle of the heavy traffic, etc.

These pictures were shot through my kitchen window. Used a NIkon D5300 with a 200MM lens

I have tried a variety of ways using Photoshop Elements 10 (need to up date)? I keep trying to figure out how to set the white balance on the camera? I have a Nikon 5300. I have also wondered if any filter would work?
Will be taking pictures of a friends wedding and would like to do the best job possible. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s) I might receive.

Thank you. I ordered the MC-DC2.

Any recommendations on the best way to use an external type of cable release? I can not connect an actual cable to my camera. I tried downloading an app to my phone, but it does not seem to be working.
Thank you.

Yes. a UV filter

Please advise the best way to shoot a full moon. I have a Nikon 5300. I used a Nikon DX VR AF-S Nikkor 55-200 MM 1:4-56 GII ED lens.
I was shooting automatic with VR on. My moon came out as a white circle. There were clouds and off the right of moon was a light purple image the same size as the moon.
What can I do to get detail in the moon. I did center right on the moon.
Thanks for your help.

I currently have elements 10. I am a retired graphic designer and used the full Photoshop at work.

Would you recommend purchasing Photoshop elements or downloading and renting the full Photoshop program?

Thanks to all the offered help and advice. The video helped. After numerous tries I have been able to get them to click. By the way the lens on the camera and the extra lens I purchased did not come with a hood.
Thanks again I appreciate your help.

I purchased the Nikon HB-34 Lens hood for the Nikon 55-200mm F/4-5.6G ED AF-s DX Nikor and the Nikon HB-69 for the AF-s DX Nikor 18-55mm VRII Lens. (Nikon 5300) These were recommended on the Adorama website for each lens. Today I tried changing them to the other lens. They are a little difficult to get on, but once on they lock in. The big difference now is the longer hood is on the 55 lens and the shorter one is on the 200 lens. Would that make a difference? Not sure if I should return them or use them the way they are now fitting. Thanks for the input.

That's the problem. It will not lock.
Thanks.
