This Vervet Monkey was peaking out at us in a Kenya tree stand. R7 with RF 100-500

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...

This cub and mom lion were peaking at me from their resting place in the bushes. R5 with RF 100-500 in Kenya Masai Mara one week ago.

I just got back from a medical mission in Kenya. While there did a short safari. The Vervet Monkeys greeted us at our lodge. They took their posing responsibilities seriously. R5 with RF 100-500

Antillean crested hummingbird is prevalent in Antigua where we vacationed last week. The hummingbirds have a beautiful bright iridescent crest if it is seen from the top. Images of that to follow.

Hi All, I just thought I would post that we bought a second RF 100-500 for Gail, my wife. She was using the adapted EF 100-400 II and 1. felt it was heavier on her R7 than my 100-500 and she missed the extra reach. Sold the 5 1/2 year old 100-400 to MPB for about $850. We are now completely...

Here is a second image from the encounter we had a few days ago with the juvenile bald eagle near our Corning NY home. It was certainly looking for prey, but we didn’t see any sign of it. I was about 40 yards away using our car as a blind and shot with a total of 700 mm on a full frame camera...

As many of you know, our area has many bald eagles living with us. This juvenile was in a field about 1 ¼ mile from our home. We never saw the prey it was seeking. RF 100-500 @ 500 with 1.4 converter for a total of 700 mm and cropped to about 70% of original full frame of my Canon R5. ISO 6400...

This is my first image sent in 2023. It was taken over the weekend in Corning NY. Eagle about 50 yards away. It didn’t stay there long flying away just after I photographed it. 700 mm and cropped to about 60% of original full R5 frame file.

Gail and I wish everyone on this Forum a Happy and Healthy New Year.

We are still going back through our summer 2022 images. This one caught our eye. Clear Wing Moth (hummingbird moth) feeding on or butterfly bush in our Corning NY backyard. Please click on image to see details best. Happy New Year!

This image was made in Scotland a few years ago. It was in an arboretum, so I really don't know if the flower is native to the UK. It is beautiful, bit I just can't get a positive ID. any assistance would be much appreciated.

In my DSLR days I routinely cleaned my sensor with the Artic Butterfly. Our R5 and R7 seem to get a lot less dust and the built in cleaning cycle seems to do a good job. However, if we do get dust that hangs around is it safe to use the Artic Butterfly on the sensor?

This may have been covered before, but I didn't find it. I use one of the back buttons for back button focus single point. I want the point to be in the center of the frame all the time. However my nose or something else seems to move it to other locations when I don't want it to. I have...

I know the R7 is backordered, and delivery is not certain. However my wife has been shooting with an 8 year old 7D2 and it's time to upgrade. Everything I read says this is a good move. We love the R5 we have been using fort he past 2 years so looking forward to crop sensor mirrorless. It...

I went out the other day to try to get some images of fall colors. In our neck of the woods the “good colors” are few and rare. So, when I finally found some suitable subjects I decided to spice it up a bit and add my “Baby” to the scene. Canon R5 with RF 100-500 @100. I particularly used...

Last night Gail and I were on our deck enjoying the warm evening well after dark. As we were going in I decided to see just what modern tech could do for us photogs. The attached shot was made Hand Held with my R5 and RF 100-500 @ 100 in crop mode. Only light was from the low voltage yard...

The Female Red Winged Blackbird is one of the most misidentified birds in my yard. I love this image with the tail feathers spread out. 100-500 @ 500. ISO 12,800 F 7.1 1/1000.

This image from south of Athens PA . The road we were on is on a ridge allowing our vantage point to be about eye level with the nest which is about 100 feet away. The eaglet featured is the sibling of the one lying down and just looks like a pile of fluff. R5; 100-500@500, F7.1 1/2000 ISO...

Each year we get a bloom of these little flowers in both white and these blue/purple colors. I believe they are Chionodoxa and stand only 1-2 inches high. They only stay around for about a month. We always enjoy it when they sprout as it is a sure sign of spring. R5with 100-500 @ 300.
