Tom was wanting to go outside, and I wanted to take his picture with the new camera. Lol! I used the Nikon D750 with the AF S Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6G VR lens.

When this was taken I had not made any adjustments in the camera. I have since though,(not alot but some) and I hope to get better as I go. This camera has alot to offer, and very different from my older canons, so it's a whole new ball game for me. I just got done watching a video on the how to make changes.

This picture was resized, cropped, with a hint of tonemapping, and sharpness adjustment.

I'm going to the Black Pine Wildlife Sanctuary today, and thinking I should take this new toy with me. It's a cloudy, and possible rainy day today, so not sure if I will be able to use it..

Thank you for commenting, and please bear with me, as I learn, and hopefully get better using this camera.

This is an excellent shot of your pet with the new camera Sandi. It will take some time to get used to it. The Nikon menu is anyway like a book.

The Nikon menu is not as informative as the Canon one..I'm sure you will soon get the hang of it....Old Tom must feel honoured...R.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Sandi, your 'new toy' has a low pass filter which makes it possible to make clear images even in cloudy/rainy conditions!

This portrait of Tom is an excellent one. Therefore it was S+F by me instantly.

Wish you success my friend!

Excellent portrait Sandi - I think you'll find the auto settings on the Nikon will turn out better images than the auto on the Canon at least that's been my experience.

I have the same lens and it has treated me good Tigz. I see your cat likes it as well.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Tom is a handsome puss. His eyes look so natural. Good to have the nose focused. Not always easy to do.
