Bald Eagle

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

6 May ’20 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

4 May ’20 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!

2 May ’20 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

1 May ’20 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 […]

100 Consecutive Ski Days!

29 Mar ’20 by Ben

I skied 100 consecutive days this past winter.  Not a 100 day season, (yes I got that too, I’m at 143 days on the season as I write this in May and 31 consecutive months) but 100 consecutive days.  I did this by becoming a ski instructor at Bridger this past winter.  I worked there […]

24GM!

Long time no blog.  Yeah, I need to work on that.  Yes we’ve moved to Montana.  Yes this year/spring/summer/fall has been a blur.  I’ll work on better updates…  BUT!  Sony released a fast 24mm lens!  This was my daily lens for the PADs I did back when the kids were born.  I’ve switch systems (twice!)
