Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
My Lens Is Back From Canon – My Experience With Canon Professional Services
Most readers know that recently I had to send my 500mm lens into Canon for repair. I truly feel lost without it and my separation anxiety has been pretty intense but the FedEx man brought me the cure yesterday afternoon at 1:15.
A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
