Hi John - Is the whitish one alive? It isn't a statue, is it? And yes, these two look much healthier than the one you had pictured in Wildlife.

Hi Sandy,

Yes the white one is alive, thanks for commenting.

Nice catch John. Two beautiful animals. Meeting the white one at night in the graveyard might be a bit interesting, particularly after a few drinks.

Hi John,

Yes, I'm sure seeing that beauty could start quite a few myths and legends. Thanks for commenting.

Hmmm. Interesting spot you've chosen to hang out with a camera

Hi Dan,

For some reason this particular cemetery is a favorite of joggers, walkers, wildlife, and picnickers.; so I'm naturally drawn to it.

Just proves that photo oppotunities are everywhere. And more to the point, John knows when to grab an opportunity!

Hi John - May I ask about what camera/lens do you take along on your roaming trips? Do you carry more than one lens? I am just being my usual curious self! <chuckle>

Thanks for your patience!

Hi Sandy,

Typically I'll carry two or three lenses (usually the Nikon 70-300, 85, and when I'm feeling virulent the 24-70mm), for this particular trip I was only carrying the 200-500mm as I rented it for a few days and the 85mm. The majority of my excursions are shot with the D750 but I do have a D5200 for backup. I'll usually take both cameras when I don't want to switch lenses but lately I'll shoot during daylight hours with the larger focal length lens and switch to the faster lens for late evening shooting.

Hi John - Your response gives me ideas about what I ought to lug along on an outing. Since I've invested in a BlackRapid shoulder strap, carrying the camera with the 100-400 lens isn't nearly as much of a burden as it was with a neck strap. I need to consider what to take for a second lens. Or.... maybe I won't really need it for my beginning excursions.

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Sandy,

A prime is a good choice for a second lens but a lightweight WA zoom is so ideal.
