A few from Magnolia Gardens yesterday

Post by jon.oman »

I have not been able to take decent images of birds for the last couple of years. Ever since I had my Nikon D2x converted to infrared. My D700 and D800 full frame cameras just did not have the reach needed with the lenses I have. Well, I just rectified that. I purchased a used Nikon D300 for a very reasonable price from KEH.com. I paid just $339.00 for an EX+ graded body. That included free shipping. This gives me the reach I have been missing. I plan on using the D300 for the next year, until the newly introduced D500 has proven itself. I will then purchase a new D500, and have the D300 converted to infrared. I will then sell the D2x.

Anyway here are the images:

One more thing. I plan on trying out images of 'birds in flight'. I have one of the banks in the D300 set up for this. I've never been successful doing this, but think that the D300 may give me the tools I need for it.

We'll see what happens this spring.....
