Last year I bought a Nikon D300 with only 8400k shutter releases, I wanted a pro body for my Laowa macro lens. Because my Nikon D5300 doesn't recognize my fully manual lens, I'm not saying I can't use it but issue I have with it is that 1 I can't use my external flash and 2 it doesn't recognize my lens there fore I need to use the histogram and the Lcd screen to get a feedback of how the picture is exposed... but after a while I got used to it. But in a pro body ( like the D300 ) I don't have these issues because it recognises the manual aperture ( the lens mount is for nikon f mount ) and can get a somewhat good exposure feedback. As for the sensor... the d5300 sensor is better than the d300 but.... to be honest I don't really care, If I want more dynamic range I'd put the camera on a tripod and do HDR pics. Although the main reason I like the D300 more than the d5300 is because it has 12 mpx ( ironically ) because I want to perfectionate my stacking photography technique and 24mpx vs 12mpx.... It kills my pc with 50 picture stack my pc freezes and I got 16GB of ddr4 ram, It show me that it needs 20+ ram for 50 pics ( 12 mpx )... so that is why I use a 12 mpx sensor. Now.... I bought two lenses the sigma 70-200 f2.8 and the sigma 24-70 f2.8 ( the D300 and these two lenses was my childhood dream setup ).
The issues :
pfff the 70-200 f2.8 works good my D300, mostly getting the focus ok..... but sometimes it doesn't.... But I am used to focus manually ( I got used to it while doing macro pics.. again, my macro lens is fully manually )
The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... I mean I don't understand the logic why...
The 24-70 f2.8 on the d300... well it has autofocus, but I don't really know if I have a issue with lens of it is in conflict with the D300 but... it hunts allot and doesn't get the focus right ( if it even gets the focus right ) and for that reason I use it on manual focus ( the barrel distortion is terrible at 24mm (34 in aps-c)
The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... Again I don't understand the logic why...
So mostly I manually focus my shots, and in these scene I just did that. And I missed, The scene was beautiful but I missed the focus... oh well. But in every bad thing there is a good. and I imagine this pic as more a painterly-photo rather than.... well it is what it is the scene was beautiful. I must do it again someday. Thanks for the visit and have a nice day 😊

I must admit I cheated, I dragged the HUE's on the green and oranges to make it more... reddish, I don't know when I will have time to go for trekking maybe late in fall.
It depends of kind of organism you are...trees could be a whole universe, a toothpick or a toilet paper.

Saw this rather dark and ominous sunset on my drive home from work. There seems to always be beauty in thereating skys like this. Glad I stopped!
Think there will be a lot of bright paints and pencils this week, but I’m a fan of the Dark Arts!
(3 sticks of artists charcoal and and one graphite pencil, used to love drawing with these at art college!)

Deep within the heart of the waking forest, ancient spirits watch. With eyes, they see into our soul. With hearts they feel our pain and joy. With claws, they grasp at our bodies and minds. Teaching us respect and tolerence for nature. Pleading us to listen. Listen to the forest spirits.

I remember that old, quiet day
I remember the innocence with it
I remember the death, it was beautiful
I remember the nothingness of me
I Remember back, in the beginning
I remember the years all too well
I remember dreams of a better world
And I remember what they did to me
I know that I can survive this
I know that there's a way
I know that I can survive this
I see a way
Release me from these memories
And show me a way to be free
Release me from these chains
And show me a way for me to start again and start this all over
Can be seen at L'autre Oeil Gallery along with other amazing and brilliant artists! Be sure to come and check it out! ♥
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."
Mary Elizabeth Frye
Stumbling through the covered Frederica Oaks, two Oak trees lay before my path. Gazing upward, I witness a vision. Two ancient spirits clashing. Twisting and swinging with their gnarled claws. Grasping with their withering limbs. Drowning each other in blankets of moss. Snaking through the darkness. For whatever reason, I do not know. "Move along...", the voice said. And so I did.
