What's Canon?

The Pup wanted to go to the boneyard beach this morning. Who am I to argue? Unfortunately, the tides weren't right for a sunrise trip, we got there about 8:30, and the sun had been up for about 2 hours or so. Wow, how the beach has changed in a year. I tried some full sun shots of the trees in...

This arrived on the porch today. I thought, "Why in the world did the Pup order a 24-105 lens?". I brought the box in and handed it to her. She asked why I opened the box. I said, "It was sitting on the porch just like this.". She replied, "Happy Father's Day.", and handed it back. I then...

Hence, my new backup regime.

Congrats. Great photo.

Good info, DDB. Fortunately, neither one of those things are a concern for my application. I plan on leaving my SSD drive constantly attached to my computer. I am currently backing up all the important info on it periodically, and can delete large amounts of data from the SSD as needed. I have...

This is him from a different angle. I wouldn't call him tiny, he's maybe 3-4ft long. I regularly see them much smaller around here. Not a very good picture. It was heavily backlit, but this guy was maybe 2-3 feet long. Shot him on Friday at Cypress Gardens. No, not the one in Florida.

Went to the Francis Beidler Forest this morning. The prothonotary warblers were active making nests. The water snakes were whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears, and the Moccasin was just chilling. Noticed something interesting when I got home and got a close look at a series of...

I'm still struggling a little with the AF. In high contrast situations it seems to work very well. In shadows, I have to fuss with it a bit. I would also like something between the small and the wide-small focus area. The small hasn't worked well at all for me. The wide small is better, but...

Got a chance to shoot a pair of whistling ducks at Cypress Gardens. I hope they are a breeding pair taking advantage of the duck box, and not just passing through. And another wood duck.

He will be missed.

These days post processing is normally considered part of the overall process of taking a photo. Trying to get it as perfect as possible in camera is a great goal, but don't neglect the editing. Often, even minimal editing can make a big difference. A lot of us shoot in RAW. That has the...

Elvis was sighted yesterday while out shooting with the Pup.

OK, BF, I am starting to warm to the top display. The Pup and I went downtown yesterday. Didn't really come back with much, but I did a lot of settings fiddling. I found the top display made things a little easier. Question for those using the high resolution sensor cameras. What is your...

Well, I ended up dithering about what to get and then got distracted by a new camera. All to my undoing. Yesterday after a very unexciting photo outing, I was downloading images using the new CFexpress card reader I have. To increase speed, I unplugged my keyboard/mouse dongle, and plugged in my...

Have you tried the monitor mode button on the left side of the viewfinder? It allows you to set various monitor display options.
