Something a little different today. I had the opportunity to join a "reflections" themed photo shoot at MODE Photography Festival in Minneapolis. Pictured is Mandy Wright, a photographer herself. I like how this one turned out.

Hello #Photography people of Bluesky, I am looking for a gimbal head recommendation. I am shooting with a Nikon Z8 and a Nikkor Z 180-600mm. Predominantly for wildlife subjects. What have you found works well for you?

I’m using my executive authority to ban nonferrous mining in the Boundary Waters. 
 
As far as my administration is concerned, the fight for the future of the Boundary Waters is over. The verdict is in. The decision is made. We will protect this place.
