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 […]

What’s Up?
The rain, thunder, and lightning let up early on Sunday morning so I headed down to […]
What’s Up?
Saturday morning was totally cloudy and bleak. I went down to the lake, set up the R5/RF 100-500 rig for in-camera HDRs, and hoped to get at least one bird flying toward me. And that is exactly what I got: one bird flying toward me. (All the rest were flying away.) I was […]

Image Worthiness Question
Would you have kept today’s featured image or deleted it? Why?
What’s Up?
I did get down to the lake on Thursday morning and pushed the shutter button a few times. There was nothing memorable, but I did learn a bunch and came up with a few more things I need to […]

What’s Up?
After working too hard and too long to finish yesterday’s blog post, I arrived at my favorite Black Point sunrise location on Monday […]
What’s Up?
A large cloud on the eastern horizon on Sunday morning eliminated any chance of sunrise color. And there was little ground fog. Those conditions turned out to be a blessing. Everything was slightly backlit with the sun in front of me (albeit behind the big dark cloud). As dozens of wading birds flew […]

What’s Up?
I went back to the Blue-winged Teal spot at Merritt on Saturday afternoon and got one or two killer-good frames. I had some cold left-over chicken for dinner and went to work on this blog post. […]

I enjoyed a short session on Friday morning at ILE […]

Merritt Island NWR In-the-Vehicle Instruction
I will be heading over to Merritt Island NWR on Friday and staying the weekend. Black Point Drive has had lots of Roseate Spoonbills and feeding sprees near the road recently. When I lived in Deltona, I visited often so I know the place well. I have a great little-known […]
This Just In!
Several folks offered to help create the PDF. IPT veteran Bart Deamer, who was instrumental in helping us improve various drafts of the RawDigger e-Guide, was Johnny-on-the-spot and sent me a link to his perfect PDF will all links working properly at 6:43pm. Then, IPT veteran Muhammad Arif did the same; his […]

The blog post planned for today has been postponed until tomorrow so that I can share the news of the beyond-amazing SONY mirrorless digital camera body that was announced yesterday. You will have to wait a day to find out if the Osprey was flying away or toward us. The short story is […]
