I depend on the “perfect” eyecup for my cameras to get sharp images! They act like a shock absorber between me and the camera. I pull the camera body in tight against my face so the eyecup also needs to provide a cushion against the camera body and my eye socket. The DK-33 hits my eye socket right on the bone so after a while, it hurts pulling the camera back tight. I prefer round eyecup. “Tear drop” style never have worked well for me as many do not really lend themselves to shooting vertically. The latest one I’ve found works pretty well. The JJC Camera Viewfinder Eyecup Eyepiece for Nikon Z9 Replaces Nikon DK-33 Eye Cup, Oval Shape Soft Silicone and 360° Rotatable Design from Amazon is not a true tear drop but does rotate easily between vertical and horizontal. It is an improvement, but the hunt still continues.

Yellowstone Wolf, Big Game, Landscape Photographic Workshop
13-18 Nov, 2022

Our Yellowstone Wolves is an incredibly popular Adventure with 2021 being a highlight! So we’re going to offer it again this fall. While there are zero guarantees you’ll photograph wolves, we’ve not been without them yet as we explore the vast Lamar Valley. Wolves, grizzlies, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, coyote, fox, badger are just a few of the targeted critters during our week! Oh yeah, a landscape or two always seem to sneak in :-)

I work very hard to share and inspire you with my decades of biological knowledge and how to use it to get you the photograph. Come join me and six other shooters for a great week in the beauty of Yellowstone. We’ll be based out of Livingston, MT (flying into Bozeman, MT) and for $1900, you’ll be picked up at the airport and taken back, preworkshop packet, instruction, entertainment, and guiding is all included in the price (food, lodging, park entrance are not). If you’re up for the challenge and want to hear for yourself the most amazing sound in nature, we have one spot due to a cancellation. Give Sharon a call 406. 240. 3503 (9-5 M-F MST). She’ll be happy to answer your questions and get you signed up. (1/2 deposit due upon registration). I look forward to shooting with you!

I don’t had the fact that I don’t really do macro. It’s a mental thing that I associate with lots of work. When a project requires me to do macro (in other words, gun to my head) I look for the best (which also means easiest) solution. This project has a couple of important aspects I have to work in, tight space, hangar and most importantly, stay out of the way of progress. Luckily for me, and you, Platypod just came out with their latest Platypod Macro Bundle. This kit point blank saved my butt!
