Okay, one more kiddo shot. Was at the library yesterday with him and couldn't resist sharing this. I really will move onto another subject soon....

As I mentioned still not going to be able to get out much in the coming weeks, but here is my first test of that Nikon 200-500 mm.
Shot through our grubby kitchen window, hand held.

Thanks. Not sure when I'll be somewhere more interesting, but I've left it set up on a tripod in our dinning room for now in case we get some more visitors.
I assume you mean wildlife as opposed to making it easy for burglars?
I hope you get out soon with it.

What an inappropriate name for a beautiful spot. Why is it named so?
The feature you mention in the right corner is a bracket attachment for the hammer rail.
Actually you can't see the soundboard (a highly sophisticated piece of Ciresa spruce) which is behind the strings, the gold colour structure being the frame (or harp).
The gauge is a hygrometer, which measures the moisture content within the enclosed cabinet. It's just an indication for reference purposes. I also have a fully automatic devise called a Damp-Chaser installed at the bottom of the case which by the use of a water container/absorbant material and an electronically controlled heater and thermostat, creates an ideal micro-climate to ensure that the sound board never becomes to dry or too humid. This ensures near-perfect tuning as long as possible.
With the top cover installed (as it usually is), all the mechanism is out of sight. I must post a general view at some later stage for any piano-lovers here.
Not sure why they named it that. Maybe to keep the tourists away? But yes it is a beautiful little spot in Hawaii! http://www.yelp.com/biz/cockroach-cove-honolulu

AFB, you got your lens…nice!
Just wondering what metering method you use. Matrix, centre-weighted or spot. This shot looks well exposed for the overall shot. For a dark coloured subject, the bird looks underexposed with too much detail lost in the deep shadow.
Shooting a dark subject may result in an overexposed background buts that's ok if you want your subject to show clearly. If your subject is the bird's overall environment, that's a different story.
If you haven't, try spot metering. The metered spot will move with your focus point on the D750. Meter and expose for the subject only and let the background be what it will be.
Spot metering for wildlife and matrix metering for landscape generally work well.
