Happy New Year to all of our family and friends. May 2018 be a GREAT year for everyone!
I had fun recently. I am a member of Canon’s CPS program- Canon Professional Service. This entitles me to try almost anything Canon makes for 10 days. So, I thought I’d try the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x. The lens is a beast. It is very sharp but that comes with some negatives-…
I wanted to see what shades of red I could get by photographing a fresh Pomegranate. I used a Canon 100mm macro lens and a 5Dm4 ISO 100, f11. Fun and juicey. Be sure to have lots of paper towels handy,lol
So since it wasn’t raining today, I thought I’d go take some birds pics. Long story short- I spent the afternoon in the ER. While I was shooting this Red-shouldered Hawk I was bitten by some ants. 10 minutes later I was swelling up and had hives. I went to ER, they took me right away….
This is 1 of the 2 Adolescent Bald Eagles that we have in the area. They are around 9 months old. I’ve been photographing over that time period but this is the first time he/she came and sat outside my window. He/she likes to sit there and squawk and make noise. I don’t mind. I…
The Osprey hawk visited today and sat and posed for me. I love the detail in his/her feathers. Also I love the death stare. There are 3 Osprey that fly around in our area. This one sat while the other 2 were flying high above. This was taken with Canon 70D with Canon 100-400mm II…
I took this image today at the Selby Gardens in Sarasota, FL. I think it has a weird vibe to it. Almost like it was for a horror story or movie. If you stare at her long enough she will look up at you. No…really. LOL. Taken with Canon 70D with a Tamron 16-300mm lens,…
We had a visitor the other day. At first I didn’t see him/her. Blended so well into the tree. But then, I saw the eyes. The bright yellow eyes staring back at me. It was a Great Horned Owl. It sat there for a few minutes. Just long enough for me to grab my camera…
Well, not actually right at me. The Bald Eagle looks as if it were coming at me on this take off but it flew above and to the right of me. I guess wearing the bunny ears worked. Just kidding. I love the look on its face. Great stare. Not sure what I would have done if it…
Recently, I was out in my garden taking some macro shots of some plants, when I had a visitor. From out of the bushes came the green monster, the HULK. He was huge. Look how he towers over the mushrooms. And he was fast. I only got off this one image and then he was…
