I picked up the Adorama’s 4-way Focusing Rails recently to try out with my wife’s Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro lens. Adorama lists 2 versions of their 4-way Focusing Rails…one for ~$180 and a budget one for ~$80. I’m not sure what the difference is between the two but based on recommendations, I picked the [...]

I caught this male Cardinal eating seeds at Spring Creek Forest Preserve in Garland TX. Looks like I grabbed the shot at the perfect time….he’d just chomped the seed and spit out the seed.

While out scouting for our new Great Horned Owl friend (see photo and video), I heard a ruckus across the creek and noticed this hawk fighting with another hawk. The 2nd hawk left and this Red-Tailed Hawk landed on a nice perch. This is a pretty good crop from original but I think it crops well. Captured [...]

I borrowed my wife’s Canon 50mm f/1.2 L lens today….and figured I’d do a review of this stunning lens. This thing is built like a tank but isn’t too heave…and it produces some excellent photographs. Before I continue…I am NOT the target user for a 50mm lens but I thought I’d write this review up anyway. [...]
