This shot was mostly to test out the print size capabilities of the Fujifilm GFX 50S. Quality is amazing. The poster I printed was 40″x30″ and it wasn’t large enough to really even show the resolving capabilities of that camera.
Framed as shown. Photo is behind glass. Image measures 8.5×11 inches. Frame measures 11×14 inches. Signature in bottom right corner. I typically package and ship within a day.
This goose flew straight at me for about 100 yards, only veering off course when it was about 15 feet away. The beauty of this image is that it’s not cropped. Zoomed in you can make out every detail in the feathers and eye. Great shot to print and hang on the wall.
This is a lens I like to take on hikes where I’m trudging through water and couldn’t afford to slip and drop a more expensive lens in the creek. It takes outstanding photos, and can be had for around $100 on ebay!
Starting to look like spring. Took this pic with the legendary Contax Zeis 35-70mm zoom. Nothing spectacular about this photo but I like the rainbow lens flare. This is a great lens if you don’t mind manual focus and you have a mirrorless camera.
I say mirrorless because the adapters are cheap. I modified this lens to work on Nikon f-mount cameras but now that I’m using the Z6 it would have been easier just to keep the original Contax mount on the lens and buy a cheap $20 Contax-to-Nikon Z adapter. I don’t know of a better full-frame zoom that is this light, inexpensive, and contrasty; even all these years after it was introduced. I had the Contax 28-85mm in the past. Also a great lens but the 35-70 is a lot more compact.
As luck would have it, it’s usually the case that you’re out there with the wrong lens. Shot this pic at 200mm with the Nikon 200-500mm. Would have been much nicer at 24mm. Maybe next time.
Shot this image with Nikon’s 200-500mm f5.6 and a 1.7x teleconverter, On a Nikon Z6 body. The highlights of many moon images get blown if you don’t shoot in manual mode or go very negative into exposure compensation.
Shot this at local pond with geese that usually fly to roost right after sunset. They held out until it was too dark for a shot. Better luck next time.
