It is so excruciatingly frustrating to go #birding with my current zoom lense, and it misses focus for even the simplest shots. There have been some amazing poses and frames that are lost to time because of it. Pretty sure it's got some mechanical failure. Time to start saving for a new one. Been wanting to upgrade to a longer zoom anyway.

@eldub More depth of field is always easy to get. With your full frame sensor you can simply do more, though you are not getting the crop factor of a smaller lens, eg long focal length is cheaper to achieve on a smaller sensor, though you have potentially more pixels you can use and crop in post processing. If you are into bird photography and long focal lengths, then the #D750 might be suboptimal and eg a #D500 more suitable, else you are good.

I was recently gifted some IX-Nikkor lenses. These are lenses designed for a unpopular film camera system Nikon produced.
(of which I am only aware Nikon only released one camera for, the Pronea S) which used a not very popular film format (APS).
The lenses are incompatible with normal mounts; however not wanting these to go to waste, I now have a adapted lens, with working aperature, auto focus, metering... Pictured above.

More from Aug 6th. It may not be a ballon killer (yet), but the F-35 is something to see in person. A couple with afterburners and flares. Plus the F-35 with the heritage flight P-51.
Copper Cowboy living statue at night in downtown Toronto. It was so dark that night I walked past him. My wife had to point him out to me. Good he wasn't moving. On my #D500 crop I needed to go to iso 8000, 1/30th at f3.5.

And now some photos from Saturday Aug 6th. A couple from the start of the Blue Angels show. Fat Albert with Bellevue, the Cascades, and over Lake Washington. Then, the BAs at the beginning and end of their performance.

The last photo from Sunday at Seafair. Nikon's Snapbridge is frustrating to use, but it worked this time. So thanks Nikon for helping me find this shot of the T-2 Buckeye on my Iphone.
Welp. I've accepted the fact that I most likely accidentally deleted/lost the photos from my final and best set at Seafair 2022. But I managed to salvage 2 great sooc jpegs from Sunday August 7th.

While the time-lapses were going, I was able to take the D500 out and capture some of the ducks and seagulls in Seward Park. Definitely room for improvement, but pleased with my first attempt in 2023. Any recommendations for bird-watching spots in Seattle/the Puget Sound?
