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.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Surf fishing at 600mm.

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.
