What’s Up With the cold northwest wind on Friday morning, I stayed in and worked on the RawDigger Guide. Needing some help from Patrick Sparkman who was busy enjoying the holiday with his family, I began work on the Canon EOS R5 Camera Body User’s Guide. I got a ton of work done on both […] What’s Up? I got a few decent Belted Kingfisher images yesterday morning from the car working at 1200mm with the a7r iv. I got a lot of work done on the RawDigger e-Guide and should have it finished today or tomorrow. That will free me up to work on the Canon R5/R6 User’s Guide full […] What’s Up? I spent a good many hours working on the RawDigger e-Guide yesterday and will do the same today. It is Thursday 24 December and I will be headed down to the lake in a few to set up a road kill cafe for the vultures (and possibly for a Bald Eagle or […] What’s Up? After re-fitting the pool’s heater/chiller a few months ago, and installing a new filter system more recently, the only thing left to fail was the pump. I cannot say that anymore. The pool was a balmy 86 degrees last week, but I was at DeSoto when the pump failed and with a mild […] What’s Up? It is 7:13am on Tuesday 22 December 2020. I spent several hours working on the RawDigger e-Guide yesterday and will do the same today. As soon as I hit publish, I will be heading down to the lake to photograph for a bit. This blog post makes seven straight days with a new […] What’s Up? Today is Monday 21 December 2020. I went down to the lake despite the clear skies with a brisk southwest wind. After creating a very few decent head portraits of some handsome Turkey Vultures from the car with the a7r iv at 1200mm, I headed home to finish this blog post and enjoy […] What’s Up? On Friday morning, I had a tough time deciding whether to head to Lakeland or return to DeSoto. As things turned out, I should have gone to Lakeland and checked on the Great Blue Heron nest and on the American White Pelicans. That said, I created more than 900 images at DeSoto and […] What’s Up? It was really cold on Thursday morning. And cloudy-dark early. There was one Willet on the sandbar. I left. There were three distant diving pelicans at my favorite back-up location. I left. I was glad that I did not have a client with me. Then it was off to back-up location #2 where […] What’s Up? Me, early, as usual. It is Friday 18 December 2020. I will be heading to Fort DeSoto at about 6:15am. The forecast looks great: cloudy followed early by sunny skies with northeast winds from 10-13mph. And a rather chilly 43 degrees … It would probably be a good day not to get my […] What’s Up? Today is Thursday 17 December 2020. It is cloudy-dark here at 8:18am as I type. This blog post is almost done. When it is finished, I will get into the pool for an early 1/2 mile swim. I will be heading over to DeSoto at about 11:30am and staying two nights. It is […] What’s Up? I stayed in and worked on the RawDigger e-Guide on Tuesday morning. At 10am, Jim and I drove down to the lake to get wet and muddy. With a roll of stiff wire and a pair of pliers, we repaired The Perch that I had erected with Anita North about two years ago. […] What’s Up? I was so into assembling this blog post that I stayed in on an absolutely gorgeous morning. This blog post took about eight hours to prepare (including the time spent on the image optimizations. There is a ton of great stuff below. Note especially the versatility of the Canon RF 100-500, the great […] What’s Up? Saturday morning at DeSoto was totally different from Friday morning. When I left my hotel it was drizzly but quickly turned cloudy, then cloudy bright, then mostly sunny by 10am. Carl Page, who had signed up for the recently canceled San Diego IPT, who was attending a business meeting in Sarasota, joined me […] COVID Strikes Again From the California Department of Health website: No hotel or lodging entity in California shall accept or honor out of state reservations for non-essential travel. I have, therefore, canceled the San Diego IPT and my entire trip to California. It will be the first time in 49 years that I have not […] What’s Up? Today is Wednesday, 9 December 2020. I was up early again. As usual. It is even colder than yesterday, but with less wind; I have not decided whether or not I will head down to the lake this morning. I have lots of work to do. But I do love photography … […] What’s Up? Today is Tuesday 8 December 2020. It dawned clear and chilly with a NW wind, so I opted to stay in and create a short v-Log video for y’all instead of heading down to the lake with wind against sun conditions. I had a ton of fun with my loaner Canon gear […] What’s Up? There were lots of incisive comments on the Two-part Exercise in Thinking blog post here. Old friend and BAA student, the very skilled and oft-published bird photographer, Cliff Beitel, spotted my SUV in the eye of the B&W vulture image! Note: with the sun coming up in the southeast and the bird angling […] What’s Up? I woke early today — Saturday 5 December 2020 — and checked the weather forecast for Indian Lake Estates: cloudy with NW winds. So I worked in bed till almost 8am helping out BPN-friend Paul Burdett with a White-faced Heron image. You can see this interesting post here.. I got out of bed […] What’s Up? The cold front has come and gone. The pool is down more than eight degrees. I have been working hard for several days preparing this blog post, more than a dozen hours in all. Understand that I have no horse in this race, no ties to SONY or to Canon. Technically, I […] What’s Up? With help from several blog regulars, especially Ryan Sanderson and Joe Subolefsky, I continue to learn more about my Canon loaner gear, the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM lens with the Canon Extender RF 1.4x, and the highly touted 45MP Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Digital camera body. I had planned on publishing […] |
