A few birds and Photo Vehicle

There had been a discussion regarding ettin into the wild via ebike so I thought I'd share my setup and a few shots I took this past week. I have to say that using a bike has been an excellent way to get off the beaten path.

If you also do this I'd love your tips and to see your bikes.

Nice photos. I lightened them a bit, hope you don't mind. Just took a minute. With a real fix in LR from the original Raw and you might have a Wall Hanger.

Any tips on settings etc. on shooting Dragon Flies in Flight. I ok on Birds in Flight.

Like most I take adequate photos when they are considerate enough to be stationary.

I shoot with the Canon R5 and their dedicated 100-500 lens...so it's not the equipment it's me.

Oregon/Washington Field Trip, and some Great gray Owls

mrtkarlin wrote:

September ended with a two-week trip through Oregon from Ashland, where we live, to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. One feature was watching a herd of elk go through mating behaviors. October is ending with a special hour that a Great Gray Owl allowed us to observe while he was hunting. Lucky experiences all around. Here’s a few samples. Complete collections, including a pelagic trip 40 miles off the coast of Washington are available at mrtk.smugmug.com

Great set...thanks...Great Gray Owl was my favorite.

Thank you for the kind comments. As a point of interest, I never use flash...just eyeball and make corrections. To be candid I don't know how to use flash.

A bit more detail...I shoot with a Canon R5 and its 100-500 lens...the R5 has a setting to lock on to the eyes...I have had good results with birds...Do not know how it does it with dragonflies, but it does.

I lightly use LR Classic and Topaz Noise Reduction and Sharpening...as I previously mentioned...no flash.

Hope this helps.
