Last day of dog exhibition here in Gothenburg. Didn't really feel it today – twice as many ppl as the first day and many ppl are just in the way. Posting some portraits first – happy with one or 2, but the rest are still ok. Then some action shots at the end.

oops…

Action shots indoors. These were difficult for me. Even wide open at f2.8, and 1/200 shutter gave iso 5000, and set shutter here to 1/2000 to reduce motion blur and have any hope at a decent one so it's beyond max iso mostly. Even though this D850 has been recognized for great autofocus, most shots I couldn't lock on properly. Tried 3D and group focus.

I'm thinking 3 factors, in my beginner mind, are at play.

1. My technique 2. Low light making itharder for the af system to lock on – not sure since not very technical. Would just make sense since the lower light of adding teleconverters etc screw with the af system ability. 3. I am tracking something coming at me in 3D etc, and even though good, this is a 6 yr old camera and just guessing the 3D tracking to be more of a beta version of that in the new Z8 mirrorless. I will have to test during spring outdoors in better light I think when it comes to getting a sense of camera af ability (vs me failing.)

Anyways, this was really fun practice. Now I want to see if can find more events, sports etc. where I'm allowed to shoot. Anyways, here goes.

That's it. Have a good night all.

This morning at a Gothenburg park.

Need to practice these landscape type of shots more - feel I'm still a bit **** at it.

Made a slideshow of my visit to Gothenburg City Museum yesterday. Hopefully the link below works, if anyone is interested. Some of the stuff, like this arrowhead, was found only minutes away from me.

Inside the "palmhouse" in Gothenburg for 5 minutes before closing time, and just outside trying some macro – handheld, no stacks – will try that when get som more gear soon. Was surpised there was even some small flowers at all this time of year. Had no flash with me, but was happy how these very tiny raindrops reflected the ringlight I put on the lens. Will go back and get more inside soon.

It's been awhile

Waited for mom and only took around 20 minutes.



Today I tried again as I forgot my polarizer filter yesterday . Waited for a few hours but she never caught anything for her chick
