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.

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.
