If you see any evidence of Photoshop foul play in one or more of today’s seven featured images, please identify them […] What’s Up? About a week ago, I had three Greater Yellowlegs fly in left of the pier as I was driving away 🙁 I had never seen even one before. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a first-ever Sanderling visited the beach left of the pier, SOP (South of Pier) Bay. It has been difficult to keep […] Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM Lens (Sony E) in Stock Tomorrow at Bedfords Order your copy of this super-fast zoom lens right now from Bedfords by clicking here and be sure to add the BIRDSASART discount code at checkout to get 3% back on your credit card and free second day air FedEx shipping. It […] A DeSoto Morning with the Sony 400-800 & the a-1 II By Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART I did not want to like the Sony 400-800 when I borrowed one from Sony to try at Stick Marsh. It was too heavy at 5.45 pounds and too slow at f/8 at the long end. Instead, I […] Your Call? Which is the stronger image, the student’s or the teacher’s? Why? DeSoto and the Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens (Sony E) On a perfectly clear and sunny morning, the 400-800 was superb at Fort DeSoto on Thursday. I continue to be astounded by the sharpness of this G lens, the accuracy […] Wanted to Buy If you have a Canon EOS R5 MkII (in Excellent plus or better condition) and the matching battery grip BG-20 sitting on a shelf gathering dust and would like to sell it for a fair price, please get in touch me via e-mail and I will put you in touch with the […] Using the Crop Tool Creatively to Get to the Crux of an Image Learning to see the image within an image is an important skill. Check out the before and after photos in this short video to see how artie uses the Crop Tool to eliminate clutter, expand canvas when needed, and get right […] The Biggest Take-Away from Today’s Blog Post For me, the Sony 400-800mm is an auxiliary lens (incredibly versatile as is it). But for many folks, a 600mm f/4 or a 400mm f/2.8, both priced well north of $10K, are simply not in the budget. For them, the 400-800 can be their primary workhorse lens for […] Robus YouTube Video Follow-up @davidthomasmartin1075 left a comment at the video here. Ah c’mon now Arthur. Not so long ago now you were raving about the Induro tripod. So much so that I actually took your advice and went and spent a heck of a lot of money and bought one with great shipping expense. […] Robus, Right Now, the World’s Best Tripods for Telephoto Lenses A Brand New YouTube Video from Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART Watch the video to pick up some great tripod handling tips and learn which of the three featured Robus tripods would be best for you.

All are invited to leave a comment and let everyone know which are their two favorites and why they made their choices. I will share my thoughts with you here in the […] Your Call? Which two of today’s nine featured images are your favorites? Why do you like each one? Thanks to the many who commented at the last post. The majority picked the first images as best while admitted that they loved the second image, the goofy looking crane colt staring right at me. I will […] Your Call? Which of today’s two featured crane colt images is the strongest? Why did you make your choice? What’s Up? On Wednesday morning there were several vultures chowing down on the skinless carcass of a very large, very dead eel. They were soon joined by a young Crested Caracara. I created more than […] “If—” a poem by Rudyard Kipling, 1865 – 1936 If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, […] What’s Up? I lucked out on Saturday morning by finding a flock of about 200 Red Knots feeding on a west-facing Gulf shore at Fort DeSoto. About 30% of the birds were molting in their spectacular alternate (breeding) plumage, and some were almost there. I ignored a large flock of Black Skimmers but when the […] Continuing Crane Family Blessings Nine of this year’s ten young cranes continue to survive, flourish, and grow. The two 2-chick families on the South Peninsula continue to cooperate beyond all expectations. On Wednesday morning past, the two fairly large colts at the north end did the same. Even the very oldest largest colt at the […] Wanted to Buy I have a friend looking to purchase a used Sony a9 iii. If you have one in excellent or better condition sitting on a shelf somewhere doing nothing and would like to get a fair price for it, please get in touch with me via e-mail. And if you are looking for […] In the Last Blog Post In the last blog post, Why Photograph Boat-tailed Grackle? here, I could not pick a favorite; I love them both for the action they depict and the sharpness. Not to mention that Pre-Capture on the Sony a-1 ii is the bomb! Your Call? Which of today’s five featured images do […] Don’t Just Shoot: Learn If you are interested in changing your life and becoming a better photographer by joining me on an Extended IPT at Sebastian Inlet for Ospreys and more (SEPT 25 to NOV 24, 2025) or in San Diego for Pacific-race Brown Pelicans and more (JAN 6 to FEB 2, 2026), please e-mail […] Don’t Just Shoot: Learn If you are interested in changing your life and becoming a better photographer by joining me on an Extended IPT at Sebastian Inlet for Ospreys and more (SEPT 25 to NOV 24, 2025) or in San Diego for Pacific-race Brown Pelicans and more (JAN 6 to FEB 2, 2026), please e-mail […] |
