Ten ways to do this and five ways to do that, are popular types of posts, and can often be a bit corny, which is one of the reasons why I don’t do these very often, but a number of things have been on my mind recently, so I thought I’d pull these...
This week we continue with our tribute to a lens series, with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens. Once again, I'm going to share 10 photos made with this lens over the last six years, with some commentary on why I found this glass to be so very special. To give you a...
Many, many moons ago, way back in July 2008, I released podcast episode 147 as a tribute to my old 100-400mm lens. I'd just sold the lens and felt compelled to share some images shot with that lens, in honor of its passing. Although I've sold lenses since then, that I...

Following on from my First Impressions review of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, today we're going to dive in a little deeper, and see how this new offering faired during my Winter Wonderland Tours here in Japan over the last few months. Although I'll touch on some of these...
Canon recently released a long awaited Mark II version of their legendary 100-400mm lens, that was loved by many until the resolution of our cameras out-grew it. Today we're going to take a look at this new lens, to see if it was worth the wait. As the megapixels of...
This week is the last of a two part series to walk you through a selection of photos from my second Snow Monkeys & Hokkaido Tour for 2015. We pick up the trail on day seven, with one last Whooper Swan photo, before the majestic sea eagles, and a surprise visit...
