I originally purchased a 580EX ii for taking pics of birds. It has the most reach of Canon's flashes. With a better beamer on it, I can get an effective flash to about a 100 feet.
But I'm really starting to enjoy shooting with a flash more and more. So...I got another one. A 430EX ii and Pixel King's off camera flash triggers. The Pixel King's are much cheaper than the Pocket Wizards and other flash triggers out there. The only thing they won't do is adjust flash ratios in ETTL in the camera menu. But you can do it when the flashes are set to Manual mode through the cameras menu. No biggie. They are so simple to use. They also use a different frequency than the Pocket Wizards do. Apparently this is the crux of the PW's as Canons 580's and 430's transmit some radio interference causing the PW's to malfunction. So that and the price factor steered me to the Pixel Kings. I got one transmitter and two receivers for less than the cost of one PW transceiver.
These birds of prey are relatively large in size. The length of the bird is about 1-½ to 2 feet, and weights are about 22 oz. for males and 28 oz. for females. Wingspan is from 40 - 50 inches and body length ranges from 17 - 24 inches. The Barred Owl is named for the feather patterns, which are barred with the alternating colors of white and brown, located on its head, chest and back (Figure 1). The belly is streaked lengthwise with white and brown feathers. The eyes are big and dark brown and look black in the field. With a yellow bill, the face of a Barred Owl has a pale gray disc around each of the eyes. These discs are outlined with a dark brown line. Just behind the facial disc, the white and brown barred pattern begins and continues all the way down the bird's back. ...University of Florida IFAS
Someone left their B-B-Q on the snow by this frozen lake. Probably the same time they left their ice drill after ice fishing for the day.
Another shot from my recent trip to the Middle East.
I was pleasantly surprised with some of the shots from my little Samsung P&S and this one is ideal for the theme.
Shot 17 / 113 = 15.04% complete
Today Day 55 / 365 = 15.07% right on track!
we left our books because they bored us, because a subconscious rememberance of the sea and the real sky destroyed our faith in study, we were tired of thought
we wanted action.
Year ago, someone proposed a challenge: Shoot the year 2020 with one camera and one roll of film.
The pandemic is visible in the absence of crowds, hoarding groceries, making sausages at home, in empty malls and meeting friends in video calls.
Looking back, I wish my shooting had been somehow magically coherent, but this kind of random shooting works against it. Also, I hadn't made up my mind whether I would focus on annual cycle, zeitgeist & phenomena or a personal chronicle. As a result it is a bit of each.
In August my Chinon got stuck so badly I had to switch cameras in middle-roll.
This was a fun project!
If I had my own notebook I could tell you whose. It was from the Edison exhibit.

A shot we did at Sis. Brenda's house for a post card going out this season from the church. Three prepositional phrases in quick successions...BOOM! Howdaya like that?
When we drive/get a ride in to work, this is what traffic usually looks like on Lake Shore Drive coming from the north into the city. If you don't leave before 7 a.m., you're usually stop-and-go for most of the way...
Never mind, I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you, too. Don't forget me, I beg. I remember you said,
