I spent part of my Saturday near the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airpot, photographing birds, the salt marsh, and distant bridges. I couldn’t pass up the chance to grab a few shots of airplanes passing overhead.

Bridge to Amelia Island

Bridge to Amelia Island

A lot can be seen in this image, such as the Thomas J. Shave, Jr. Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway (Amelia River) and the railroad swing bridge framed in the center.

Looking north over the salt marsh from Crane Island. The marsh is ablaze in the golden hues of the late autumn light.

Full frame, not cropped image at 300mm.
Slightly cropped.
Full crop, still sharp and detailed.

I enjoy using my Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM lens on my Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera.

It’s pretty nimble and well-balanced, even with the Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapter attached.
For me, this is a near-perfect set.
300mm is a great focal length if you enjoy telephoto shots like this. The image stabilization is perfect for handheld photography.

In late autumn, the marsh grass becomes a sea of golden brown.

The salt marshes on and along Amelia Island are ablaze with autumn colors. Now that the heat and humidity of summer have passed, it’s a good time to explore the island’s natural beauty.

At the ready.

Big, bad Chevy with a GMC tail.

Chris and Carol Leave a comment
I don’t know the model year of the truck. It sure looks nice. Maybe 1955?
I like the ‘GMC’ logo on the tailgate. I can see why he chose it.
Here is a 1950 GMC truck photographed along Center Street with a similar logo style.

I got my Canon big shot! (finally)

Of course, the show’s real star is my Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera at an impressive 30.3 megapixels. Canon’s white lenses are legendary for their performance under the most challenging situations and conditions.

Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM super telephoto lens with a Canon Extender EF 1.4x II. Combined, it has a focal length of 420mm.
Also included is a Canon Adapter EF-EOS R to mount EF lenses on the EOS R camera bodies.

Sharp and clear. Handheld at 300mm is a bonus, thanks to the image stabilization built into the lens.

A few images from a recent photo walk in the downtown historic district. Canon EOS R and Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens.

Lots of small shops along Centre Street.
A local artist from the high school added some artistry to the downtown.
Big bad Chevy!
Fantastic Fudge’s entry with its cast-iron facade.
The 1876 Building.

The unbearable heat of summer has passed, so it’s a great time to visit Fernandina Beach on beautiful Amelia Island.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fantastic Sunday, Chris

Colorful photo walk in the historic district.

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

After the prolonged heat and humidity of our Florida summer, a break in the weather sent me on a photo walk in the downtown historic district of Fernandina Beach, Florida (Amelia Island). I chose my Canon EOS R with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, and the Canon EF-RF adapter. I don’t use post-processing except for an occasional crop, as I like to see my digital images as they would have been if I had been shooting with film.

Happy to see me or just hungry?
At 16mm.
At 35mm. The 1876 Building along historic Centre Street.
Flying Fish.
We’re not known for having a large bear population, but you use what you have if you’re a shop owner. I like the yellow bug in the background.
Always ready to plunder a buck or two.
Happy trolley driver.
Iconic Centre Street view.
Local student artists were out and about painting shop windows. Coffee is an essential painting tool.
Blue metal butterflies. Neat idea.
