Beasts and Nikon Capture NX2

To those that then are in the know, Of products just released
From Nikon comes their latest show, Applied here to some beast
The products' name it is NX, The version latest, two
It boasts impressive tools - success, Retard like me can do

Requires not degree nor skill, It's brain just under-stand
Post processing labour it does kill, And turn to pop, the bland
Technology it has behind the scene, A thing they call U-point
Selective mask it is a dream, I humbly them annoint

For not like o'ers - need be trained, This one you just in jump
And fear or such till now refrained, Your PP in a slump
A trial it is avail-able, For days of sixty test
Time good enough to enable, Your pics to look their best

In this here scary shot of wild, A chainlink fence between
And good thing too I slowly smiled, Lest photog ne'er be seen!
Effect it was then for this shot, The fence it did intrude
The nose of beast and mane it got, A task then to extrude

A control point is all it took, placed on the parts that "blew"
And contrast add and final look, An image then res-cue.

Long Lenses and Flowers

At times there is the need to go, From lens of Macro use

Extension Tube attach up 'fro, The flowers to confuse.

One taketh lens of long reach thus, And plug in then that ring

And brand right bought, A/F a plus, your long lens makes it sing.

The tube I use to shoot the shot, Of long lens and such sort

Kenko DG, that one I've got, A/F and meter, sport!

A thing I do when shooting long, And lens it bears it's weight
Please use support, you're not that strong, Your pics will seal your fate.

The least to do is use a pod, the type of leg just one
A tripod too, it gets my nod, But most times mono, do.

The focus thing it can be tough, a tip then for you say
Go gentle, shy, n'er be so rough, And pod then slowly sway
And see the image while compose, in focus slowly come
Your patience in your pic it shows, And focused bad too, some

The thing I like about lens, long, Is how backgrounds compress An attribute I yearn for strong, It renders huge success.
So when you are in framing view, Alert be all the time
Incor-porate distractions few, Your final pic be fine
