Yes, we do have Bananas
« on: November 22, 2016, 09:54:18 »
 :) Just documenting the stages of growth.  This is new D500, DC105 f2 at f5.6 (not f2 using DC) .  Now to learn how to PP the D500  :) .  Soon the ants,bees and birds will notice the white blossoms and then some fun shooting.

How tall is your banana tree?
I am looking forward to the developments :)

Interesting. We do have them in the botanical garden, but they grow very high, 8 to 12 Meters I guess, so fruit and blossom are way way up there.

Akira,  I finally sold my last D200.  I kept , and used, it since 2007 .  Really tough call but it went to a very good home.
Elsa, many thanks. The squirrels are a real pain.  They chase off the Flower/Sun birds and are very noisy.   The also chew through the screens to get into the house.  I like all of my cameras but the D500 feels great and I am slowly learning the camera.   I am getting close to having all of my settings as I want them  ;)

I believe you - as I know they can be a handful here too - In nature they are cute, fun to watch and photograph, but ye - they are a tad boisterous  ;D

However much of a pain they may be, through your lens they make for beautiful photos!

Tom:

I am sure you will love the D500.  My D4 is feeling a bit neglected since I got mine.

Lots of fun images.  I love the clean, graphic nature of #2.

Cheers  (funny, I just ate a banana a few minutes before I saw your photo..
