What’s “exposures” actual value, to you?

World Wildlife Day – Everyday!

This is World Wildlife Day but why just one day? It’s like Veterans day, why just one day? We need to celebrate and honor these and all of life, every day!  An old proverb I like to quote says, “Nature can live without man, man cannot live without nature.”

Z 9 Firmware 3.10 Dropped

You can find the download here (or use SnapBridge) and here’s what’s new:

• Added support for NIKKOR Z 85 mm f/1.2 S lenses.
• Improved focus accuracy for low-contrast subjects during burst photography with [Wide-area AF (S)], [Wide-area AF (L)], [Wide-area AF (C1)], [Wide-area AF (C2)], [3D-tracking], or [Auto-area AF] selected for [AF-area mode].
• Improved the frame advance rate during burst photography with optional flash units.
• Fixed the following issues:
– The [Retouch] > [Trim] item in the playback “i” menu would in rare cases create distorted copies or not permit selection of the desired crop.
– Copies created by blending a large number of pictures together using the [Retouch] > [Lighten] item in the playback “i” menu would sometimes exhibit a green color cast.
– Rating pictures during playback zoom would in some instances temporarily corrupt the display.
– In extremely rare cases, the camera would stop responding.

Wolf Charts Help!

Yellowstone is one big, grand place! Its size makes the perfect place for critters to be critters especially the upper apex critters like wolves and bears. They roam this large park at will with wolves covering tens of miles in a day at times. And pack dynamics are always in flux, just read one of Rick McIntyre’s books and you’ll be amazed how much! And you’ve probably heard Yellowstone is the place to go for wildlife photography. There is no doubt there are some amazing opportunities to be had but it can take weeks to see and photograph one. The more knowledge you have the better your odds will be to be in the right place at the right time to make the shot.

The folks over at TrackNature have some great assets you might want to take advantage of like their Wolf Chart. You see a picture of their 2022 wolf chart below. It shows you on one side the pack members and on the other side the territories of the various packs in Yellowstone. They’ve been producing them since 2007 and I have each year’s as they are such great info. They also produce one for Yellowstone’s Griz which is just as great an asset. In your planning to take in Yellowstone, make sure you have these in your kit!

Moose Podcast #334 – “Where You At?”

This episode of the Moose Podcast #334 – “Where You At? “, Measuring sticks are important, they help us understand length, and distance. I’m asked often where I’m at in my photography and after answering that, I like to turn the tables. Where you at? It’s important to know to provide a route to where you might want to go!
