Another photo for the photo challenge that I figured I'd share here as well. This was taken with the #Nikon #D810 and a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 at 70mm 1/800 f/8 ISO 400.

Moon shot with my D810 at 210mm 1/250 f/11 ISO 400. Taken yesterday morning. Aggressively cropped. #Nikon #D810 #DSLR #Photography

Day 1: Praying Mantis, Pixel 10 Pro XL

Day 2: Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Nikon D810, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 MACRO

Day 3: Lounging Squirrel, Nikon D810, Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8

It is a Facebook fundraiser, (for the ACS Photo a Day in October challenge), but I figured I may as well share those shots here too as well. Here's the first 3 days of my chosen photos. I like each of them for different reasons and will keep at it for the whole month.

I signed up for the ACS Photo a Day in October challenge... I might regret this. I don't tend to take my camera with me every day... but now I'll have to!

I might give 'er the good ol' college try. I'll probably make about 10 contacts and get bored though. Depends on band conditions.

Gee dangit! I jumped. Almost had a heart attack.

Doing my part to be a little more visible during visibility week.

It's a slug. Had to snap a shot of it. 🤷‍♂️

Meh, if Facebook and Meta permaban me, they'd be doing me a favor.

Too many fascist apologists there, and I've been meaning to migrate my photography stuff from Insta to Flickr for awhile now anyway.

I mean, this is what I saw, and one is only a word because of Cyberpunk...

Doe, Forgive, Gonk...

So many bums in that painting...

I think that's the goal, to waste our time so we can't use it to better impede their other, more harmful efforts.

It's a big stupid machine, and it doesn't want to be stopped.

The Democrats are tone deaf on these ideals, the conservatives are more than happy to celebrate, cheer on, and encourage political violence against the left and marginalized communities.

Kirk reaped what he sowed.

I got it in 2 today, so of course I'm gonna brag about it... I'm still a child and use FARTS as my starting word.

I'm trying my darnedest!

Man, those MAGAs sure think they can FA and never FO... good thing punching Nazis is still en vogue.

While at camp over the weekend, I had a little visitor, so I took a quick shot with my Pixel 10 Pro XL since I figured if I ran to grab my D810 this little guy would have jumped away... plus I wanted to try out the macro capabilities of the new phone. #Photography #Pixel10ProXL

I think I did alright for a first time shooting at a dark sky preserve? I probably should have waited a little longer after moonset... rookie mistake 🤷‍♂️. #Nikon #D810 #DSLR #Photography #Astrophotography

🤣 everyone saw this coming Nazis are stupid 🤣

I spent a little extra time on this bridge shot to get the exposure fixed. I'll probably use this one for my QSL card. #Nikon #D810 #DSLR #Photography #darktable

Before and after.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

I went on a brief photo walk this afternoon to update shots I have of a bridge that I use for other things (my ham radio QSL card for one). My niece and my pup tagged along. Enjoy! #Nikon #D810 #DSLR #Photography Taken with a variety of lenses: Nikon 14-24mm, Tamron 24-70mm, and Tamron 70-210mm.

This is a shot I took earlier this year at #SOFR2025 with my #Nikon #D300 and #Tamron 70-210mm f/4, it's the rallies that really got me into #DSLR #Photography.

Though I have been branching out into other areas, as you can see from my recent posts.

A couple more #ToledoPride2025 photos

Some more #ToledoPride2025 photos

I went to #ToledoPride2025 yesterday and snapped a bunch of shots. #Nikon #D810 #Photography

I tell you what, that's a workout... dodging in and out of the crowds; getting in position for good shots and then jumping back out so as not to impede the other parade goers view of the event.

Couple shots from my lunch time walk about at the park. I think all the birds and squirrels were hiding because the tractor pull championships at the fairgrounds... the engines were loud from the picnic table I was eating at, so I'm sure the animals were troubled by it. #Nikon #D810 #Photography

I took my doggo buddy on a walk at a local metropark, not a whole lot of flowering plants on my walk, nor any wildlife, kind of disappointing, but I did get these two shots. #Nikon #D810 #Photography

Getting excited for my upcoming dark sky camping trip too!

Probably not just the kids, but the parents too.
