I led a six day bird photography workshop here in South Texas and also I have shot a lot on my own. So far the photography has been better than I hoped for. We all had problems with not enough camera batteries, not big enough memory cards for the camera and some needed a trip to Staples for more external hard drives. The record holder shot over 100,000 images in six days. Most of the others shot a mere 50,000 images. It is continuous bird photography. I will be trying other areas in Texas over the next six weeks as I wait for the snow to melt in the Idaho mountains where I live.

I have now used the Canon R5 for over 100,000 shots and know a "little" about it now. The advantages are awesome. I cannot imagine not having eye detection focus and being able to drag and drop the AF point and the all electronic shutter that can shoot 20 shots per second, but more importantly, do it without a sound for nervous wildlife. I can't wait for the new Canon mirrorless camera to arrive - R1 - I have heard. A lot is happening!

Excellent captures and renderings. Thanks for sharing. No surprise that you run workshops on bird photography!


I don't want to sound like Nervous Nellie here, but what kind of workshop promotes 100,000 shutter clicks in 6 days. What??!!

Where does that leave time for anybody to take your time compose a shot, check for lighting and DOF, anything other than set a camera on auto and shoot burst after burst. I guess to each his own, but I want to think out my shots. My goal is to have as many printable photos SOOC as possible. I try not to let Auto do the work.

Very nice set - the Harris Hawk is stunning - and I never saw a golden fronted woodpecker before.

John, your photos are outstanding. I'm waiting for Nikon to offer an R5 equivalent - maybe I'm waiting for Godot.

Wow - I am impressed - the shot of the green jay is super nice. I wish we had some photo excursions here in Kentucky.
