Wow - it's been six months since my last post. No excuses, just haven't been feeling creative. However, earlier this month, I decided to dust off the Canon 70D with my Tamron 16-300 zoom and nudge my creativity back. [I've been using a Canon G9x high-end point and shoot for taking quick "snapshots" recently. At times, a little disappointing.]
As you all know, I like to take photos of things that fly (birds, airplanes, UFO's, etc). Here's a new one of a mockingbird (although not flying). Taken at the Kings Park Bluff, Kings Park, NY on June 9, 2022. Shutter: 1/400. Aperture: f/8. ISO: 200. Focal length: 300mm.
PHOTO TIP: I normally don't like taking photos at the maximum zoom of my lens. Primarily, I'm not as steady as I used to be and secondly, I'm a firm believer of not using maximum zoom. Photography 101 advice: If you zoom in on your subject, then before press that shutter, zoom back out a little. You can always crop things OUT of your photo to your liking (the above photo used significant cropping), but if you zoom in too much, you cannot crop things IN to your photo. Post processing is your friend!
As always, feel free to contact me with any of your photography questions or to simply comment on the above photo.
Happy Shooting!
