    It hung around for about 4-5 minutes. It knew I was there but was not afraid. Of course, I respected it and avoided anything that could be intimidating.

    Backyard Bobcat

    This bobcat was about 100 feet away in my backyard. I was hiding behind the barn and managed to get several shots. R7 100-500 @ 500 cropped to about 75% of original.

    Canon R7 R7 AF issues - no sharp images

    The single, most effective way to increase sharpness is to have fast shutter speeds. For stationary birds at 500mm I try to have at least 1/800. For birds in flight at least 1/2000.

    Canon R6 I Electronic vs Mechanical Shutter

    Let me address the BBF question. My wife and I shoot wildlife, birds and animals. BBF is particularly useful in our R5 and R7 cameras. We have the AF-on set for animal eye servo tracking so we can quickly acquire focus on the critter's eye. As long as we hold it down it will track anywhere...

    When is My Wife Coming Home

    This what we think is the male of the family looking around for its mate. Nurturing those eggs can be a chore. He would rather be out hunting. R7; 100-500 @ 500 cropped to 75% of original. Enlarge image to see details.

    Guys and Gals with glasses

    Have you thought about contact lenses? They can solve a lot of the photography with glasses issues.

    New firmware for R5 and other R camera Bodies.

    Serious question - Can you set it to do les images and therefore less MP? 400 is huge, but maybe 100 would be great.

    I would hand carry your gear aboard then you won't have to worry. As long as you are with the official cruise tour companies and don't go off on your own you should be OK. I would never place your gear down and turn your back. A camera strap similar to a black rapid that goes over your neck...

    Mammals  Hyenas

    One of the most aggressive animals we observed in Kenya is the hyena. Hyenas will sometimes chase lions from their kill to get a meal for themselves. We encountered several during our safari, mostly roaming the desert. One was eating a meal it recently caught early evening so the light was...
