Sometime around 2015, I won an auction on eBay for a used camera. This particular camera was a Nikon D4 from the set of Joel Sartore’s Photo Ark. Up until this point I had only periodically played with full manual settings. Reminiscent of when I bought Mi Baja there’s no better way to learn a new skill than to jump in feet first. My D4 and I have had countless adventures over the years traveling not only numerous states but countries as well.
Recently my most reliant travel companion has been acting up a bit. A trip to Nikon for cleaning did not address the main issue. Before I could even get her back to Nikon for a diagnosis Brian surprised me with Nikon’s newest camera, the D6.
*insert lots and lots of happy tears here*
The following photos are from D6’s maiden voyage. I reserved a ticket to the Albuquerque Biopark’s Garden and spent the morning enjoying the sights and my new toy.
Congratulations on your new D6. You consistently reward us with stunning gifts for the eye, imagination and heart. You are truly a rare gift and your images are pretty damn great too! Keep em’ coming ….. please?
Marc, doing my best! Think of you often and hope you are doing well. If you ever want to come explore Montana, you’ve got a place to stay! Our front door is only 30 minutes from the west gate of Glacier National Park. Feel free to bring any of those kids or grandkids with you too! Xoxo.
Fun photos.
