Ha,ha .. Lance. I got the i-Mac 5K and your work really shines on that monitor. Most posters don't think about adjusting their pictures to the new monitors sizes which changes a lot in viewing.

On my recent trip to Myanmar, I was tossing up whether to take my D500 as well as my D810. Frogfish (Kevin) had also recently been to Myanmar and he suggested I take the D500 as a back-up camera in case the D810 failed. I heeded his advice and I am glad I did. Not because there was any issue with the D810, but because the D500 came into it's own when we visited Inle Lake - stunning scenery and lots of action by the local fishermen on the lake.
The D500 + 80-400 combo proved very effective, even when in a boat going at about 20mph and bobbing up and down trying to get other boats at distance, AF locked on super fast and nailed it.

Lance B - Love these shots. They make me want to know more about what was going on in each shot. Great Job !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, Keith. Much appreciated!
All are local fishermen on Inle Lake except the second to last who is our boat driver. The first two photos you can see them using their leg to paddle the boat whilst they use the net.
Really stunning shots - they are extremely sharp and don`t look like you were moving quickly at all.
So i am looking forward this combo as well, as i do also use and admire the Nikon 80-400mm af-s !

Thank you very much for your kind comments, Abdreas. Much appreciated!
The closer shots we were not moving all that quickly. However, some of the more distant shots we were moving around the 15-20 mph mark and the 80-400 came through with flying colors. The D500 + 80-400 is a fantastic combo, fast and accurate AF and the high fps means you can nail the precise moment you want.
I was out testing my new 300mm f2.8 vr2 today and came across this pair of baldies. They were right on the side of the highway, i spotted them and pulled over. Pretty amazing for this area of NJ. This was the passisc river along rt 21 in Elmwood park if any one know the area.
