What’s Up? Me, early, on the way to Fort DeSoto on Friday morning for a busman’s holiday. Photography on Thursday morning at ILE was fair. I did some of the larger crane chicks. They act as if I do not exist. They were hanging in a spot where the grass was too high. I […] This Just In! I took one look at the weather forecast for St. Petersburg for the next few days: clear with southeast winds for Friday and Saturday mornings switching to southwest in the afternoons, and booked an AirBnB for two nights. Sunday morning is looking good also with partly cloudy skies and south winds. I […] What’s Up? I had hoped for some huge flocks of ibis in flight at Circle B Bar Preserve before the sun came up and there were. But they were about two miles distant. I did make some half-way decent blurs. I headed for my favorite morning American White Pelican spot and did quite well. I […] Image Perspective Question Why would today’s featured image have been twenty times better if I had gotten down on my belly? All of the images were created at Fort DeSoto in April or early May.

The other day someone commented that setting up a road-kill cafe “seemed like cheating” to her. We exchanged several e-mails. I pointed out that road-kills were natural (or un-natural if you would) food sources for the vultures but that leaving them on the […] All of the images (plus lots more) were created on a very short visit at the end of January.

Do you like the inclusion of the out-of-focus head of the adult crane in today’s image or would you prefer a straight head portrait. (I have several of those). If you leave a comment, please let us know why. Come on Down Again I am blessed with a ridiculously tame crane family.

Merritt Island NWR IPT […] From Bob Peltz via e-Mail Oh my god Artie… The R5 AF Method-switching set up detailed in the R5/R6 AF e-Guide is much more user-friendly than the ridiculous back button set up! Many thanks, Bob Your Favorite? Which of today’s two three featured images is your favorite? Please leave a comment and let us know […] Your Favorite? Which of today’s two featured images is your favorite? Please leave a comment and let us know why you made your choice. Stuff There is lots of great news. The American White Pelicans have returned to my favorite morning spot in Lakeland. I will soon be announcing two IPTS — a first-ever […] What’s Up? It was foggy and overcast on Monday morning. I took a walk with the R5/RF 100-500 and worked on creating some more fun, funky, foggy in-camera HDR flight images. For the rest of the day I worked long and hard on the Canon R5/R6 AF e-Guide and finished it early yesterday evening. Bart […] Specular Highlight Question With today’s featured image, would you have taken steps during post-processing to reduce or eliminate all or some of the super-bright specular highlights in the background, or left them as is? Reduce, eliminate or leave them as is? Why? What’s Up? It was pouring at 5:00am. It was cloudy-dark at 8:00am. […] ISO 5000 Snail Kite IQ with the R5/RF 100-500/RF 1.4X TC Combo. And R5 Firmware Update Version 1.2.0What’s Up? Clemens and I enjoyed one last, short session by boat on Lake Kissimmee. We used the public ramp at Coleman Landing at Shady Oaks, about 15 minutes from my home. The day began as cloudy-dark and ended when it began to rain at about 9:00am. Snail Kites were hard to come by. My […] What’s Up? Me early, as usual. Clemens and I enjoyed two great sessions on Lake Blue Cypress yesterday. I learned a ton about my R5, mainly about which AF Method is best — I am now very clear on that, and I figured out how to set up the C1-C3 Modes. (Note: Canon has SONY […] What’s Up? Thursday morning was not nearly as foggy as the two previous mornings. It was quite still. The light was gorgeous as the sun made its way through the fog. I set out the partially eaten armadillo at 8am. I sat in the car with the driver’s side window lowered and the R5/RF 100-500 […] What’s Up? Wednesday morning was mega-foggy. My morning session was uneventful. I got some work done on the BAA Canon EOS R5 Camera User’s e-Guide and will be working on the update of the BAA R5/R6 AF e-Guide later today. The latter should be completed in a very few days. As there was lots […] What’s Up? Tuesday morning was mega-foggy. Working with the handheld RF/RF 100-500, I played around with HDR flight and deleted them all. I kept a few images of a dewy spider web and a few of an aquatic plant. I got lots more done on both the BAA Canon EOS R5 Camera User’s e-Guide and […] Ever Hear of Richard I. Bong? Richard Ira Bong was a United States Army Air Forces major and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. He was one of the most decorated American fighter pilots and the country’s top flying ace in the war, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, […] Which Background? You are invited to leave a comment and let us know if you prefer the swirly, lead-blue BKGR in Image #1, or the hint-of-mangroves BKGR in Image #2. And why you made your choice. What’s Up?
