Loons, the moon, and some others

[brandon]

This weekend I went up to my family's property near Kirkland Lake and tested out the new cameras and lenses a bit.

 

Most of my time was spent with Canon, my 9 wk old female Chocolate Lab so I didn't take a whole lot of photos but here's a few...

 

may as well start off with one of Canon

 

 

Now for some Loons. The loons were I guess the best test for my 1D MK IV and 500 lens + 2x extender because they were all shot handheld from a kayak. So IS and autofocus did really well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a shot of the moon on a cloudy night. Canon 1D MK IV with 500 mm lens + 2x extender on a wimberley head and Gitzo cf tripod

 

 

Here's a 30 second exposure well after sunset...anybody guess how I got the trees to be so lit up?

 

 

and lastly 2 sunset shots

Awesome Brandon. Looks like the new investment will pay big dividends.
