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 bald eagle in its nest on Crane Island, Florida, along the banks of the Amelia River. Camera/Lens: Canon EOS R with Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM.

The eagle keeps a watchful eye on me and its favorite fishing grounds along the river. It is their nesting season currently and typically runs through May.

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.

The Canon EOS R is a full-frame mirrorless digital camera that accepts EF and RF lenses. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

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.

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
