Always have a camera ready...

[Drew_Geraci]

If there's one thing that I have nightmares about it's not having a camera nearby when I want to photograph something -- thankfully that wasn't the case for this photograph! We rarely get any snow in northern Virginia so when it snowed I was so excited to try to capture something contrasty outside of my house. Within just a few moments of bringing up my A7RV + 70-200mm from my office, I found my subject -- a beautiful red cardinal that contrasted perfectly with the new snow and flat lighting. 

Do you keep your cameras close by when you're at home or out on an adventure?

In the words of the Great One - Wayne Gretzky - you'll miss 100% of the shots your don't take. Excellent advice Drew

Agreed. I get squirrels and rabbits frequently on my porch and side patio.  I caught this one with the a7 IV and the 90mm Marco lens.
