Not the best but a little story behind it - On holiday in Canada, driving along and out the corner of my eye spot something sat on a fir branch 'omg - it's a tiny owl'. . . . . no other cars about so stop, reverse back and pull off the road, jump out open boot (trunk for our American friends) open camera bag - put lens on - hoping it's still there - yes! take a shot. . . . few steps closer another. . . . closer still and. . . . . gone! Moral of the story - keep the camera set up on the back seat lol.

Nice shots and a great story. And a good reminder to always get a shot/look first, then work on getting close. had to double-check, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Boreal Owl. Northern Saw-whet has a dark bill and a more diffuse border around the face. A very nice find.

On closer inspection, I agree. Thanks.
 

A beach for jogging…

Sunshine Beach looking towards Noosa Heads
Queensland : Location on Map (zoom as necessary)

This is the same location as the tiny tot surfing photo above. The differences, apart from the subject:
  • 150 mm; not 500 mm
    — the 'short end' seldom used by me
  • waves revealed for what they were
    — quite small; as was the surfer (post #29)
  • pointed north rather than east
    — early morning, so this was relevant!

 
A few aviation shots.

Quick 'daytime' moon shot whilst in Canada, handheld / deep breath and click - surprised it came out as well as it did - something to be said for Canon's stabilisation mode huh.

Highlighting a different aspect of the RF 100-500mm... its surprising short minimum focal distance lets it be used as a pseudo-macro. All were taken handheld in windy conditions on the first day that I got the lens.
