For this week’s photo challenge “centered composition”, I submitted this closeup of a garden spider by our trash dumpster which surprised me when I took out the trash today. So glad I didn’t bump into it! #52frames_centeredcomposition #nikon #z6 #Photography

For this week’s 52Frames photo challenge “Textures”, I found some interesting tree bark in our neighborhood park and tried “focus stacking” for the first time. #52frames_texture #photography #nikon #z6

I enjoyed my brief time in the panhandle of Oklahoma for the Okie-Tex Star Party. Storms rolled in before midnight, but just before sunrise we got to experience Bortle 1 skies! #astrophotography #nikon #z6 #orion #andromeda

This week’s 52 Frames photo challenge theme is “abandoned”. A Google search for “abandoned near me” returned a number of interesting places. I chose this 1920s gas station on Route 66 near Arcadia, Oklahoma. My photo is not special, but what an interesting place! I also enjoyed finding old windmills and silos in the rural area north of Oklahoma City. #52Frames_abandoned #photography #z6

Der AF beim #Nikkor 200-500 VR, funktioniert mit dem TC 20E Telekonverter bekanntlicher Weise nicht sonderlich gut bis gar nicht. Wer aber mittlerweile auf z.B. #Z6 umgestiegen ist, sollte es einmal versuchen. Bei mir funktioniert mit dieser Kombination der #AF sogar bei schlechteren Lichtverhältnissen.

For this week’s 52Frames Photo Challenge “Color Temperature”, I visited my Alma Mater, Oklahoma State University, on an unusually cool evening this week. I created this HDR photo of Edmon Low Library on the beautiful campus during “blue hour” after sunset. #52Frames_colortemperature #photography #z6
