This is very well done, motorman! Great profile!
Thank you. The old parks overshadowed by the mega parks in orlando still offer a great days entertainment.

I'd say you have a good ratio in this shot!
Thank you for looking. I played with it for quite a while and wondered if it was close.
During recent visit to Silver Springs State Park, there was an encounter with the front man of one of 4 troops of monkeys on the board walk. I do not shoot very many pictures of people, so the question of how much of the body should be in a good profile head shot?

A few recent posts have made me think about the quality of help available to photography novices. In one post, staff at what is said to be a "local camera store" told someone that their SD card may have been damaged magnetically.
Obviously not true.
I would expect this from a clerk at WM or even BB, but not at a dedicated camera store.
Are the Big Boxes making it more difficult for local camera stores to find/afford quality staff?
I am in Philadelphia and (since the closing of Calumet) have to go outside the city to get to a good reliable store with knowledgeable staff.
How are local stores in your area?

I was very fortunate to have ASAP Photo (
http://www.asapphoto.com/) when i got the bug again. Their expertise guided me thru multiple purchases in and out of their store over a 2 year period.
as my hobby grew and i wanted to trade up from entry level to prosumer hobbiest they provided quality advice and highly competative trade values. Sadly I retired to Ocala fl just after their last camera store closed. Now its a good 70 miles to the nearest one. But ASAP in Greenville NC is still one of those gems that i can count on.
Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 lens with the nikon 1.4TC works better for me. Lighter weight, fast and sharp for bif.

Dems some action shots .., very nice ...
thank you
i have wanted to catch one of two ospreys that nest here every year in action for several years. This spot is where i see most of their fishing and feeding.
A cloudy misty morning 8-7-16, went to my favorite local park (River Park North, greenville nc). This was my first outing with a new tc-14e iii, not sure what to expect.
The setup:
nikon d750
1.4 tc
nikon 200-500 f5.6
gimbal head on monopod.
shutter priority @ 1250 because i'm a bit shakey
f8
auto iso
I think this setup has promise
