Yesterday was more work, more swim, and an ice bath. Arash should be finishing the final PDF of the DPP 4 RAW Conversion Guide today. We hope to have it for sale this coming week. This blog post, the 323rd in a row, took me about 3 hours to prepare. It was published at about 7:30am from my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL. <\/p>\n

This Great Blue Heron image was created on the morning of October 18 down by the lake near my home with the Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a>, the Canon Extender EF 2X III<\/a>, and a beta version of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II <\/a>. ISO 400. Evaluative metering -1\/3 stop as framed: 1\/2500 sec. at f\/8 in AV mode. AWB. <\/p>\n

Central sensor (by necessity)\/AI Servo Expand\/Rear Focus AF on the bird’s eye and recompose. Click here<\/a> to see the latest version of the Rear Focus Tutorial. Click on the image to see a larger version. <\/p>\n

From the Sequoia with the lens supported by the BLUBB<\/a> (my custom-designed, hand made Big Lens Ultimate Bean Bag). When working on a beanbag with a long lens and re-composing be absolutely sure that the focusing ring does not rest on the beanbag<\/em><\/strong> lest you throw off accurate focus when re-composing.<\/p>\n
