I just got back from vacation, catching up on a million emails. Plenty of deleting (of course) and quickly reading through the others. One that I quickly read had something to do with the Canon U.S.A. homepage, and how the next time I sign in I wou...
I went out to shoot the Milky Way a few weeks ago when we finally had clear skies. Not uncommon for me, but usually I shoot with a 15mm lens to get as much of not only the Milky Way in the shot, but also some foreground as well. While out there on ...
The Canon EOS 6D is reaching the end of its service life soon. Last day is October 31, 2025. If you have one, and it needs service, better send it in quickly.This camera was one of my favorite DSLRs for many years. It was a low light beast back in...
Thought I would share a few of the images I took at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio two weeks ago. It was our first time there. My wife wanted to go there for her birthday, so we drove down and stayed for 5 days. The park is stunning in its beaut...

"But I have to say shooting 30 or 40 FPS isn't something I could trade for film. When shooting action of animals or birds (or people or cars too, I'm sure, but not what I usually do) my skill of capturing that "perfect moment" will, I think, never b...
I have various adapter plates to use my old vintage lenses on my digital camera bodies... and the M42 plate is one of them. It does turn your camera into a full manual setting (adjust aperture on the lens, same with focus). While some of my film le...
Just do it! After 20+ years of being away from film, I went back into it heavily 3 years ago. It's a lot of fun! Besides, the biggest benefit is it finally got me away from the "take five shots and pick the best one" mentality when I grab my digit...
