More plentiful where I am located here is the USA, black squirrels, like all there close relatives, are clever, curious and quite entertaining to watch problem solve.

Virtually everywhere on the planet, common house sparrows symbolize joy, community, resilience, and simplicity, but also carry meanings of protection, hope, and love.

New podcast up! 5 must have stocking stuffers for the wildlife and landscape photographers. shorturl.at/ImSOb

Age old question that probably every photographer gets asked at some point. Good answer! Depends on YOUR genre of photography and needs. Does take some trial and error to figure out what needs to be in your bag for a given shoot. Comes with time for sure.

Need Christmas ideas for the photographer in your life? These stocking stuffers can help. Let me know if their is something you cannot live without on my blog here: wp.me/peFz4j-ih

This is huge. Biggest savings of the near if you want or are a Nikon shooter: shorturl.at/s9Lv5

As photographers, we get the privilege of photographing living history. I would love to hear your comments on my blog on what has inspired your photographic journey. Leave a comment here: wp.me/peFz4j-ia

Dec 7th, 1941, A date that will live in infamy ... Chilling words then and now. Today is national Remembrance Day. Please thank our veterans regardless of service! #NationalRemembranceDay #PearlHarbor

Gr8 idea @moosepeterson.bsky.social. Thanks for the xmas idea for the misses :). P.S. snuck one in for me as well :)

Great article by @ambientlife.bsky.social on how color influences decisions in/out of photography. Worth a read. www.ambientlife.co.uk/news/the-pow...

This Sandhill Crane with its vivid red patch across the forehead stood out strongly against both its pale cheeks and the surrounding darkness in the early morning light, while its long straight, dark bill extends cleanly from the face.

Latest blog post: What you can learn from the masters wp.me/peFz4j-hZ. Those photographers, past and present, have valuable lessons and if we heed their words, you photography will improve. Would love to hear your comments here:wp.me/peFz4j-hZ

Like this shot MP with the venerable D3X. The background makes me think of a flight over the Pacific getting ready to do a run on a Japanese carrier. Nice!

All these years as a Nikon Ambassador and they ship the part to Moose Peteson! LOL. Seriously, thanks for the post MP, I did not know about those resources. Appreciate you passing this along :)

Holidays are right around the corner. Nikon is offering some early savings on some sweet lenses. shorturl.at/9XK1I

Beautiful Stearman @moosepeterson.bsky.social and the reflected light is gorgeous. I seem to recall, but perhaps I'm mistaken, if this is Warren Pietsch's plane, didn't you do and A2A with it?

One can only say WOW! Peaceful, beautiful light and scenery. I wanna pack up go there now. Thanks for sharing MP.

Did not really have a lot of nice scenery to put with our Midwest super moon, but I thought the highlighted and backlit trees were nice. Didn't travel far, this was shot in my driveway. #NikonZ9 #SuperMoon #Michigan

Oh no MP. I can hear the digits frantically typing the @BedfordsCamera number right now after hearing the "snap". On a a side note, how ya liking the battery grip? Is on the Xmas wish list :)

Learning, it is ongoing with photography. Here is what wildlife photography has taught me that has helped my photography move forward: shorturl.at/FLqgu

Love the BW of Z8! You bring a good point to light MP. It is your photo and a matter or preference. Some may recover detail in the moon, some not, but of importance is the arrangement of the elements. Wisdom from MP! Priceless :)

MP, I think the biscuits podcast was one of my faves thus far. Care to share your recipe :)

Get it while it lasts if you need Nikon gear. tinyurl.com/5n9bn5w4

Ahh the romance, drama and wonder of the clouds. I have had similar experiences MP as I point my camera heavenwards and people stop and ask what I am looking at or shooting only to walk away wondering about my fascination with clouds. I feel ya!

Even without a major story behind the shot MP, this memory is still a pretty cool shot. Love how the early morning light is just kissing plane leaving you wanting more ... Nice!

Like this image a lot MP. Seems like creaky knees go hand in hand with photography. I am right there with ya! Doesn't stop the creative process though. Keep em' moving MP. :)

Adjust your diopter? What the heck is a diopter and how can it immediately help you take better photographs. Every camera has one. Here's and overview on my blog on why this should be one of the first things you do. wp.me/peFz4j-h8

Hairy or Downy woodpecker? Similar characteristics but quite often misidentified. What is your guess?

Spectacular! Lucky guy MP. We have had so little rain this summer, we have just started to turn. Peak is predicted around end of October. Cannot wait! Great reminder about the polarizer. :)

Redundancy is the key when backing up all those precious images. I would love to hear your strategies in my latest blog post here: wp.me/peFz4j-hc

This TBM Avenger with those clouds was just begging for a portrait shot. Made easy by getting low to include the drama with the clouds. #Avenger #TBMAvenger #Warbirds #WWIIAviation #NavalAviation

Make the shooting display your own. I did a detailed overview of each to help you plan. wp.me/peFz4j-gT

New podcast just dropped. Building your toolbox takes time and is ongoing. So what kinda tools do I mean. Have a listen and leave a comment. I would love to hear from you. tinyurl.com/bp6uk9z3

5 free presets to help streamline your editing workflow. You can get it here wp.me/peFz4j-fQ. Leave a comment on the blog, I would love to hear how you make them your own.

I think your eloquently descriptive adjectives set the tone @moosepeterson.bsky.social for the odiferious eminations taking place here. :)

The perfect bag. Is there such a thing for a photographer? Over the years I have collected more than I care to admit, but with this bag, I think it is the one. wp.me/peFz4j-88

Early morning on the lake, warm coffee, camera in hand, natural frame of the glass like water, man I cannot wait for full fall color to come. #NikonZ8 #Nikonglass #KensingtonMP #Landscape

My thoughts and review on the new 24-70 S II from Nikon. wp.me/peFz4j-et. Definitely worth adding to your gear locker.

Boy MP, talk about an image that invokes the romance of flight and passing of the seasons, you nailed it with this one. Love it!

The kids are growing up and venturing out on their own. This male Northern Cardinal, still growing his brilliant red plumage, paused just long enough for his portrait. I think he thought he was safe up in the tree where it was dark, but he did not count on my flash.

Leaves are turning in certain places. Getting pumped up for when peak color starts to appear. #Fall #FallColor #Autumn

Just registered MP. Looking forward to your clouds presentation and all the other superb instructors. Always up for something new photographically.

I was going to say good luck @moosepeterson.bsky.social , but as I am sure you are aware over your storied career, what some define as luck is simply where preparation meets opportunity and I know you are a planner so there is no doubt and A2A is coming with the A-26. Looking forward to the images.

So looking forward top putting the new Nikon Z 24-70 S II through its paces just in time for fall color. Thanks @BedfordsCamera and @moosepeterson.bsky.social for the savings and recommendations.

My NPS priority just arrived! Cannot wait to give it a test run with fall color.

Well deserved MP. How many times have you graced the cover or Nikon @moosepeterson.bsky.social ?

Anyone else out there having trouble locating this Nikon 72 mm filter? Looks as if it is backordered and quite popular. No ETA from Nikon.

The fastest creature overall on earth is the Peregrine Falcon. During its hunting dive, or "stoop," a peregrine falcon can reach speeds exceeding 240 mph.

More assistance from Nikon to help defer the crazy inflationary tariffs from the government. Act fast, ending today!
