A Time To Stay Put

This was captured from across the lake at the equivalent focal length of about 300mm. It wasn’t cropped in further as I had wanted to include the subjects’ environment.

Flower Blood Moon Whitewater, CA, USA May, 2022
It was much too windy out here in CA to use the intervalometer nor the tracking mount, so these are gimbal only with my best efforts to steady each shot.
First image is 600mm without teleconverter, all of the rest have a 1.4x tele applied.

Here’s a fun bird I tried so hard to capture last year and finally got a good shot of this January, a Belted Kingfisher!! As their name suggests, they are great fishers, flying along waterways and diving for fish once spotted! Their calls are distinctive once you learn them but they fly so fast it can be hard (for me) to get good pictures of them unless they are perching 😂😅💙 . . .

Shooting Sports: What's in The Bag?
(This article is re-posted from 2021. Gear update coming soon.)
Tumblr media
(Photo by Hernan Bernal)
I've been making pictures for over two decades now, and I still work on improving my photography every day - and improving the gear I use. I have found sports to be the most demanding field I've ever worked in, it being tougher - and ultimately, more satisfying - than even chasing wildlife in the Florida Everglades.
Any good photographer will tell you that you can get great pictures with any decent camera, and when I started covering cycling races, I had just come back from a short photography hiatus with a new-to-me Nikon D80. It marked my return to DSLRs after having sold all my Canon gear some time before. The D80 got me hooked on Nikon, and I sold a bunch of good photos from it, but I kept on "trading up" until I got to the kit I use now. My biggest reasons for upgrading included faster autofocus, weather-sealing on the body and lenses, and a more usable ISO range.
So what do you see me shooting with now out at races? I am a hardcore minimalist, but I still use two camera bodies, one with a wide lens and one with a telephoto. The Nikon Z 6 has become my primary camera - a big surprise to me, considering how many people want to talk down its sports capabilities. I may think differently about it if I were shooting 150mph race cars or motorcycles, but it does extremely well when photographing cyclists whizzing past me at 30+ mph.
My Nikon 70-200/4 VR is almost always attached to the Z 6 via the clunky FTZ adapter. The 70-200 is a staple in almost every sports photographer's bag, and that's why I resisted it for so long - trying to be different, but I was going about it the wrong way. I now see why this incredibly versatile lens is so damn popular. I picked the f/4 over the f/2.8 because of weight. Endurance sports are the only sports I shoot, and they are almost always out in the open and in the daytime - so I don't really need that extra stop. And after running from one end of a criterium course to the other all day while carrying almost 30 pounds of gear, I realized I needed to lighten up the backpack. The secondary body is one that I had wanted even back when I was still shooting Canon, having been released in 2012: the Nikon (former) flagship body, the D4. Tough as hell, and it shoots 11 frames per second - rat-tat-tat-tat! Ergonomic even with its considerable heft, it looks and handles the business. Mated to a Nikon 16-35/4 and hanging from a Peak Design Slide strap, it's really not bad to carry around.
Tumblr media
The 16-35 is the newest addition to the kit, having traded in my beloved Nikon 16mm fisheye and the utilitarian Nikon 24/2.8 lens I used for a while. I don't get the awesome distortion from the 16-35 that I did from the dedicated fisheye prime, but then the same distortion could easily become gimmicky at times. So the fisheye stayed in the bag more often than not. The 16-35 gives me that amazing wide-angle perspective I love, with a very useful zoom range.
Rounding out the lens selection, I held onto my Nikon 300/4 with a 1.4x teleconverter, for when I really need more reach. It's a cracker of a lens, but it has made less appearances at race courses since I have had the 70-200. What else is in the bag? Snacks, tons of batteries, a Think Tank Pee Wee Pixel Pocket Rocket case for all the memory cards, a Think Tank Hydrophobia rain cover for the unpredictable Sunshine State weather, a Nikon SB-900 flash, and a few other odds and ends. A rugged WD My Passport SSD hard drive serves as a backup and storage for second shooters. The pack itself is a Mindshift Gear (Think Tank again) MP-7 v2.0 backpack. It's pretty light and fits everything just right, laid out in a way that makes sense for an active outdoors photographer.
Tumblr media
Finally, hanging defiantly from an exterior zipper is a French keychain of the lion mascot from longtime Tour de France sponsor Crédit Lyonnais, to remind me of determination and pushing past limits; just like I can always ride my bike faster, I can always make an even better picture.

A Day of Birding
(Click the images for larger views)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I couldn't help but notice the Moon as she made her way across the afternoon sky, occasionally semi-obscured by some high whispy clouds. As I continued to wander into the golden hour however, I spent more time looking for birds catching some nice golden side light; the more dynamic the pose in which I found them, the better. The Northern Pintail shown above was catching full golden hour light, and looked to be opening it's wings to embrace the sunset.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Occasionally I came across a bird I could readily identify, such as the Great Blue Heron above on the left, however there were some that gave me difficulty in their identification. The semi-sleeping duck-like bird on the right is one such example. Basically, I can tell you it's a Scaup (a type of duck), but there are Greater and Lesser Scaups and the difference can only really be found in the head, with the Greater Scaup having a bit of a pompadour shape to its coconut, while the Lesser Scaup has a more classic duck shape to its head but with a small peak at the back.
Because this one wouldn't raise its head to give us a proper look, I don't feel I can properly identify this as one or the other.
Tumblr media
I managed to capture this California Brown Pelican as it was in mid-takeoff.
With a wingspan of about 6 and a half feet, they are impressive to see flying about, and maneuvering in and out of the water.
Tumblr media
"This is mahhhh buuuuutt."
It seemed to say.
I shot all of this (except for the Great Blue Heron above - that was on my Nikon D810 for comparisons sake) on a relatively new set up to what I typically use when out birding. Traditionally I have used the Nikon D810 with the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens as the Nikons 36 megapixels and autofocusing system make for very sharp, detailed and cropable photos, and 600 mm is a decent level of reach when it comes to wildlife. But this time I was looking for a little more reach, so I used my FujiFilm X-S10 with the Sigma lens on an adaptor giving me about 900mm of long end focal range (because of the FujiFilms APSC sized sensor). Additionally if I felt I needed a little more reach I attached my Sigma 1.4X teleconverter to the set up giving me a total reach of a little over 1200mm.
Naturally when extending out that far there is some loss in overall image quality, but the X-Trans sensor on the FujiFilm is an a outstanding chip and handled the challenge fairly admirably. The only real issue I had was some low light/high ISO noise in some of the shots as the sun dipped lower and lower in the sky. In the end however, I would rather have the shot with some digital noise, than no shot at all.
All-in-all it was a plesant afternoon out and about among the birds for a golden hour wander thru the local wetalnds.
Let's go exploring.

The background was originally a bit rough so some noise reduction was applied in post to smoothen that out.

Canon’s New Teleconverter Might Have A Hidden Surprise
Canon’s New Teleconverter Might Have A Hidden Surprise – Zoom lenses are great, but what do photographers reach for when they need extra zoom and don't have a longer lens? A handy little add-on lens known as the teleconverter allows them to get closer to the subject without sacrificing resolution. So far, teleconverters come with a fixed magnification capability, usually either 1.4x or 2x. But if news about Canon's upcoming teleconverter is accurate, it might just be a dream come true for many photographers. (Read More...) ≠ promoted by #NewCanonInfo
