Looking forward to the Starved Rock photo shoot which will be April 30th thru May 2th. This park is described as Hocking Hills on steroids! Really looking forward to this. Many waterfalls, caves, wild flowers and I am sure some birds.
I also plan to head back to Iowa to photograph the Northern Pelicans. Oh, Starved Rock is in Illinois. Will be posting photos soon afterward.
As you know I am a Nikon shooter.... and I love my Nikon! However, I became the proud owner of the Canon 7d. Along with the 400mm prime canon L lens.. There is a method to my madness.. This past winter I traveled to lock and dam 14 in Iowa to shoot the Bald eagles that migrate from Canada to the Mississippi river where they have plenty to eat all winter.. I did use my Nikon camera but my shots were not as clear as I wanted. I borrowed a Canon camera which is 18 megapixels and I have much shaper shots. Sometimes you need to crop in to get closer to the eagles... well, the 18mp's allowed me to do just that and keep the quality and the sharpness where my 10.2 mp Nikon could not do that. So I now use Canon for birding. Spending the day to day learning the inns and outs of the 7d... I hope next year or the year after to own the 500mm canon prime lens.. Over $6,000.. so we shall see how things go.
Many photo shoots all summer long.. So stay tuned to this blog.. Dena
