[Dueling Cameras for Wildlife and Landscape]

For years I battled a heavy case with 2 cameras - one for wildlife and one for landscape. Changing lenses in the field was also difficult and requires more time than is available for sudden wildlife shots, especially flying birds. I tried backpacks, but trying to get a camera out in time to catch wildlife was difficult. Now, I carry two cases criss cross one over each shoulder. One has the A1 with a 70-300 mm lens and sometimes the 100-400 mm lens and a few accessories for wildlife. The other case has the A7RIIIA with 24 mm lens and a water bottle for landscape. With this setup, I find myself using both cameras more often. 

I use the OP/TECH USA S.O.S. Curve Strap (Black) # 0901312 adjusted to 48" length.

[Photography - A Path To Healing (Free Course)]

The emphasis of this study is on self-discovery. Photography is used as a medium to express and explore our inner-self and to connect us to the world around us.

 

We usually render in art what we relate to the most. We will explore the relationship of photography to issues of ourselves, our relationships to others, and the world around us. These issues are a part of us and will be present in our creative artwork.

[Swans in Winter]

It is rare to see wildlife in the park in winter. These two were at a distance. Then, came closer to me.

[Seagull at NY Sunken Meadow Park]

This was taken with the Sony A1 and 70-300 mm lens. There isn't much wildlife in the park during winter. Seagulls are always there near the water. This guy flew in front of me and said okay, take my picture.
