BassMan11 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) great pictures that first bald eagle pic, he grab a small musky? I sure hope not. Muskie anglers will be all over that bird for an improper hold. Great pictures! Edited December 4, 2014 by BassMan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Right now I have 3 cameras, but my fave is the Canon 60D with the 100-400mm zoom lense. The T3i is okay, not as good as the 60D. The other one is is just an old point and shoot. If I wanted to get a new camera, it would be the Canon 7D. But the lense is the mainframe, you need a zoom if you want good pics, so save your money and pay for the lense and get a T2i or T3i. Thanks so much. I still have a 2" format Hasselblad from Sheridan College days believe it or not. $3500.00 in 72'. The new digitals for much less surpass it's quality and capabilities for sure, amazing. Great art Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks so much. I still have a 2" format Hasselblad from Sheridan College days believe it or not. $3500.00 in 72'. The new digitals for much less surpass it's quality and capabilities for sure, amazing. Great art Joey. Wow, that's so cool! $3,500, jeez, that was a bit of money back in 72' eh! The canon lense I have now was $1,400, on sale. I think it is normally $2,000 or more, so when the sale came, Paul said to go get it at Henry's and it was one of the best decisions we both made. Being in the boat all the time I see alot of birds, but then my passion took me to other places, ponds around my area, parks etc. and I just go and look all the time. I'll drive an hour and a half just to see if I can find a kestrel or a snowy owl. So many places to find these beautiful birds/animals. Have definitely enjoyed buying that lense and would recommend it to anyone interested in photography. Thanks so much again everyone for the kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickOnt Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Fantastic pics there Joey. Is the last one a Snowy Owl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Joey, YES you are. I haven't done any since my Pentax SLR went and film went out the door! I do have a camera collection and some of the old ones I got to work when film was available! My best is a 1904 bellows camera! I also have one made out of wood and it works too. But no film. Gosh, made out of wood, that's cool, do you have a pic of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Fantastic pics there Joey. Is the last one a Snowy Owl? Yes, it is a snowy owl. Every time we went ice fishing on Simcoe, we drove up the 400 and I could see them at the Holland Marsh, but of course you can't stop on the highway with a truck and trailer, so I went back one Sunday on my own in my car and just travelled down each road of the marsh looking, then found one. I even went back the next week and found another. Here was the first one I found, but I didn't get him in flight.

Ralph Field Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Amazing pictures as always Joey, you've got a real talent with a camera. x2 amazing Quality ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavertail Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Those are great shots of the Snowy's....especially against that blue sky background. Joey, do you have any other pictures of birds of prey? I've been fascinated with them since I was a kid, I'd love to see more! If I see any raptors while driving I'm always compelled to look, surprised I haven't gone off the road yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Very inspiring and amazing photos Joey. Out of curiosity, do you frame some of your favorites for your walls at home? You'd certainly have a one-of-a-kind collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd certainly have a one-of-a-kind collection! Thanks, actually, my aunt was so thrilled with the snowy owl pics, I framed them and gave them to her for her birthday. My walls already have too many pics on them, no room for anymore, so I don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
