I’m still learning my new camera. Today I reset the camera back to its factory settings. These images were taken in P program mode with the camera setting all of the exposures. There’s still lots to learn.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day! – Chris

Christmas present – Canon EOS R

December 27, 2021December 27, 2021Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Canon EOS R with Canon EF 16-35mm f4L IS USM zoom lens.

My Christmas present this year is from my wonderful wife, Carol. Canon’s full-frame mirrorless camera features 30 megapixels of resolution in a somewhat compact body.

To be able to shoot with Canon EF and EFS lenses, you need to use the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R seen here between the lens and the R body.

Garden cat at 16mm f4 about 2 feet from the cat.

Can you tell that I like trees? This majestic oak is in my front yard. Image at 16mm.

I’ll write more about my first impressions of the Canon EOS R. Now that it’s a part of my camera collection most if not all of my digital cameras will be listed for sale in my camera shop – starting with my Nikon D800. Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day! – Chris

Testing my Nikon AF Nikkor 300mm f4 ED lens

December 23, 2021December 23, 2021Chris and Carol 1 Comment

This Nikkor lens is a bit of a throwback to another age (1987) when Nikon was still making rugged metal lens bodies (I’ll post pics of it soon). I tested it on my Nikon D800 just yesterday afternoon for the first time. It was pretty late in the day so the sunlight was getting a bit warmish.

What amazes me most about the image above is the detail at the top of this tall pine. My guess is that the tree is about eighty feet tall and is a couple of suburban yards away from my shooting location. The Nikon D800 is a full-frame DSLR with 36.3 megapixels. Both shots were handheld (no image stabilization).

Pictured with the built-in hood extended. It accepts 82mm lens caps and screw-in filters.

Thanks for stopping by. More test pics soon. – Chris

Acorns a plenty in my Japanese garden. There’s much work to be done but can I count on the squirrels for help? Thank you for stopping by and have a bountiful day! – Chris
