A recent addition to my camera bag is the Micro four-thirds Olympus OM-D EM1 Mark II camera and now the 300mm lens that go along with it. With the pair, it gives me a mind-boggling 600mm focal range as a 35mm equivalent. I am hoping that this will […]
Spring time is such a wonderful time of renewal and rebirth. Best of all is when all the babies start to come out. Mom and dad proud to promenade their little ones, while carefully keeping an eye out for trouble. There are now two Canada goose families that […]
