Just curious, in your photographic journey was there a time, situation, class, or experience etc. That you can look back on and say...wow I get that concept...and the light turned on in your creative mind to improve your shots. Sometimes as I am looking through my average everyday photos one will stand out and I have to step back and say to myself, wow that one turned out really well what was I thinking about or doing that helped bring it to life.
Great question. In 1967 my Junior High offered Photography as a Science elective. My teacher, Mr. Reed was awesome. Tough and critical was his nature, but he also knew when to encourage and praise. He had very high standards that motivated you to work hard.
He had two mantras:
1. Slow down, you're moving too fast, you've got to make the moment (morning) last. (Ala 59th Street Bridge Song)
2. If you can't get the picture you want with a 50mm MOVE CLOSER. (We had no budget for telephotos)
50 years later, when I go on a photo shoot, I still hear in my head....feeling groovy. Thank you Mr. Reed for giving me so much joy from taking pictures.

Thanks for posting the pictures. My first SLR was a Miranda Sensomat in 1969. I loved that camera. I forgot about the removable prism.

[quote=steffro1]Some shots from the other day at Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC. The weather was overcast after a rain storm, so I decide to go to BGG with the 105mm Macro for some fun. Hope you enjoy the results!
Wow! Very nice.

River Terns, like those I posted yesterday are relatively slow moving birds compared to the Little Green Bee Eater. A few action images. Speaks volumes about the fast focus acquisition capability of the D500.
Inspiring. Thank you.
