Pronghorns, Bison, an Eagle & Cranes oh my!
by Ben
Been shooting more lately. Here’s a pretty random assortment, Bison at spanish peak, some birds in our hood, 2 landscapes, my daughter, some sandhill cranes at ennis as well as some pronghorns, then a bald eagle munching on something with feathers on the drive home one night!

Sony 200-600mm review
by Ben
I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm. Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography. I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one! I didn’t own them both at the same time so I […]

Bald Eagle
by Ben
Went for a drive and watched this eagle bully an osprey for his lunch! The image above is pretty bang on sharp, the rest in the gallery below are softer than I like from either camera shake from the long lens or cropping a ton. I’m learning but this is NOT easy!

Bald Eagle
by Ben
Took the kids for a “forced field trip” yesterday. We found this guy/gal hanging out on top of a tree. It was one of two eagles we found.

Long Lenses
by Ben
Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall […]

Sunday Drive
by Ben
Photoshop? Maybe… The honest truth is I did combine 2 images. The moon is NOT enlarged -vs- the frame it was shot in, but I did zoom out to get more clouds into the shot, then used a tighter shot of the moon so it took more space in the frame. This is with my […]

Long Lens Fun!
by Ben
I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

Really Right Stuff Multiclamp
by Ben
The really right stuff multiclamp is one of those accessories you don’t realize you need, but once you own one it gets used a lot more than you thought it would. We’ve all been there. Some super scenic landscape location, but with a railing telling you not to get any closer. You set your tripod […]
