Zoom lenses are certainly convenient, but I will always love prime lenses. Nikon 50mm f1.4G lens at f5.
Low Light Capabilities of the Nikon D850
It was pretty dark in this church in San Sebastian, Spain, but I was still able to get good photos with my 24-120mm zoom, which has a maximum aperture of F4. I like to use the “auto ISO feature” which can be configured to specify a maximum ISO and a minimum shutter speed. Alternatively, you can let the camera choose taking into account the focal length you are using.
Back from a Wine Trip to Spain
There will be pictures from Spain coming in the next couple of weeks. I would like to start with a picture of people taking pictures of each other at the famous Pop Galo Chicken designed by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. Click the image for a better view. 
She’s My Dog Annie
The roses photo is by Cindi.
Nikon D850
The light really wasn’t right, and I wasn’t close enough to get a picture of this Red Winged Blackbird. I have a new camera, so I turned on spot metering and aimed by 200-500 mm at him. I was shocked how much I could crop the image and maintain detail. I think I am going to like this camera.
Baker Wetlands Discovery Center
This area is a wonderful modification to the Baker Wetlands that came about when the by-pass was completed around Lawrence. Here is how it looked this morning when the sum first came out.

White Ibis
The White Ibis is brown as a juvenile.
As an adult, its is all white except for black feathers on its wing tips.
Snowy Egret
The Snowy Egret can be distinguished from the Great Egret by its black bill and yellow feet, opposite of the Great Egret.
Great Egret
These birds are graceful, but efficient killers of fish. They stand in the water and pierce the fish with their sharp bills. They fold up their necks when they fly and when they perch. See here.
