Sharing photos, reviews and tips for photographers
I visited the spillway at White Rock Lake with my new (to me) Canon 1D Mark III and Canon 400mm 5.6 L + Canon 1.4x Extender siting on my Induro CT314 Tripod. I caught this Kingfisher flying around and finally got a decent shot. This is a fairly large crop…best I could do. See more [...]
We went over to the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center’s First Saturday event. They have quite a few birds of prey and are opening a center about 3 miles from the house. Woohoo I captured this red-tailed hawk portrait during one of the programs. Captured with Canon 7D and Canon 400mm 5.6 L handheld.
Here’s a shot of a Little Blue Heron from the Village Creek Drying Beds in Arlington TX. Captured with Canon 7D with Canon 400mm 5.6 L with Canon 2X Extender sitting on my Induro CT314 Tripod. The photo isn’t quite as sharp as I’d like (the extender and my inability to manually focus) but its [...]
Here’s a male house finch from the backyard with the Canon 2x Extender II on my Canon 400mm 5.6 L attached to my Canon 7D on an Induro CT314 tripod. Not bad for 1280mm and manual focus
I always wondered what these geese were…the web tells me its a chinese goose. Captured at White Rock Lake in Dallas with Canon 7D and Canon 400mm 5.6 L with Canon 1.4 extender.

MooseNewsBlog (run by the one and only Moose Peterson) is having a contest. Contest Rules: The subject is nesting birds, deadline is 30 June, 2009. The rules are pretty darn simple. Gotta have a really nice photo of a nesting bird with young. Just sitting on the nest or adult with eggs will not qualify. [...]
Spent some time in the evening practicing with my new monopod and had quite a few different types of birds visit..nothing exotic or new but I thought they were worth sharing. Nothing spectacular but fun shooting nonetheless. House Sparrow - taken with Canon 5D and Canon 100-400 @ 400mm, 1/800 sec, ISO 800 and f/6.3 [...]
Tracie (blog & website) and I went up to the Heard Museum in McKinney TX on Saturday. We’d been itching to get some birding and wildlife photos in the Heard is always a good place for that. We were a bit disappointed…wasn’t much going on there on Saturday. Very few birds and no wildlife at [...]
