Fernandina’s Fantastic Fudge is located in the Historic District. A sweet spot to be.

The establishing shot… 16mm, f/4, 1/80, ISO125.

Canon EOS R with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM lens.

I enjoy using my older Canon EF lenses on my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. Many EF lenses are an excellent value compared to their newer RF counterparts. Canon makes a simple adapter that adapts the EF lens to the RF mount.

More Moon over Amelia

November 5, 2025November 5, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM lens with a Canon EF Extender 2x III (600mm).

I used my Canon EOS R 30.3 MP mirrorless camera. Settings were f/8 at 1/640, ISO 400. The moon was at 99% full and still low in the sky.

The moon was at 96% full the evening before.

Surf fishing at 600mm.

November 4, 2025November 4, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A local surf fisherman was captured with my Canon EOS R, Canon EF 300mm f/4 IS USM lens, and Canon EF Extender III.

Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach.

I can’t say enough about this combination. Since the Canon EOS R doesn’t have IBIS, it’s up to the lens and my slightly unsteady hand to keep 600mm images in focus. The lens was made in October 2010. Older EF lenses are a great value, but they are getting on in years. The EOS R is a full-frame 30.3 MP mirrorless camera.

A few images from a quick photowalk along the Amelia River here in Fernandina Beach this afternoon. What contrasts—industrial ugliness mixed with our natural beauty.
