    Tripod and head

    I've been using an inexpensive tripod for a couple of years, and I've come up with a little money for a new one. I use a D3200 with a Sigma 150-500. I think I want something lightweight with a gimbal head. Any help would be appreciated.

    Nikon D3100/Hummingbird Flash Unit

    I've been after some hummingbirds lately, and I've gotten some decent shots, but my research suggests that a TTL flash unit would give me better results. I'm operating in the field. Thanks for any help.

    D3100 Teleconverter

    I've had the D3100 and Sigma 150-500 for about a year. I bought both with advice from this forum, and I'm very pleased: Many thanks. I also have a Nikkor 70-300 which I'm not using at all, as it just didn't get close enough. It's been sitting in my bag for nearly a year. My dilemma is whether I...

    Pentax Q

    A friend makes amazing claims about this camera, and I don't know enough to understand it all. What kind of results can I expect with a Nikon adapter and my Sigma 150-500 or my Nikkor 70/300? Thanks from a novice.

    Frabjous Joy

    Today's plan was to visit a beach park on the Chesapeake Bay, but had to cancel because there was some kind of festival that didn't involve birding, if you can imagine such a thing. It did involve a lot of very loud music, however. Being flexible, I headed for another place not far away, and had...

    Massa 86 MM UV Adapter

    I bought the above device for my Sigma 150-500 and all images are blurry/out of focus with it attached. I RMA'd the original and get the same results with the new one. The lens works perfectly without this adapter attached. Is this just a low quality device, or is something else going on?

    Bobolink?

    I went to a new place today (Calvert Cliffs State Park) and got my first Red Headed Woodpecker and this bird I can't identity. This morning, Annapolis, MD.

    High ISO

    Nikon D3100, Sigma 150-500 F5-6.3 I often shoot early in the morning, and my equipment just doesn't have enough ambient light to get a good exposure. This shot was f6.3, 1/125, ISO 3200. The grainy look is something I have to live with, I think, so what's the best way to edit these shots? This...

    Juvenile Northern Rough Winged Swallow?

    That's what the book seems to say, but I never even heard of these guys. This morning, Annapolis, MD.

    Juvenile with blue edges.

    I saw this in the company of an experienced birder who's best guess was "A juvenile of some kind." Annapolis, MD, this morning.

    I think it's a Sparrow

    I went to a new site today, and ran into this Sparrow which I can't ID. This morning, Annapolis, MD.

    Blue Gray Gnatcatcher?

    I lack confidence in this ID as it's only the second one I've seen. This morning, Annapolis, MD.

    Juvenile Cowbird?

    I didn't recognize this bird at all. Is it a Juvenile Brown Headed Cowbird? Annapolis, MD, this morning.

    So many birds

    The blue feathers should probably give me a clue, but I'm lost. Annapolis, MD, this morning.

    Juvenile Blue Grosbeak?

    That's my best guess. I've heard there are adults around, but I've never seen them. Annapolis, MD, this morning.

    Unknown in Annapolis

    Is there enough here to tell what this bird is? Annapolis, MD. this morning.
