Well, actually Mark got a new camera and I got his old one.
There is a very nice walking trail (4 miles total, out and back) at the Alamosa refuge. Although we've been here for 10 weeks, this is the first time we've walked the trail.
These are all pictures from Mark’s new Canon 7D.

Hope you have enjoyed the debut of Mark’s new camera!
REALLY nice! What sharp images! If I hadn't just replaced my laptop, I might have to have one of those. By the way... what was that wonderful lens that Mark used when he was shooting photos of birds here at Aroostook? I miss a lot of good shots even with my 300 lens.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon-
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. This camera will shoot 8 frames per second, so I can get lots of bird-in-flight shots that I couldn't with my previous camera. It also has a much quicker focus system and some other nice features.
The lens that I use is a fixed focal length 300mm lens, in Canon's "L" (professional) series. It has a much larger front element than my old 75-300mm zoom, and is quicker to focus, track, etc.
I can also use 1.4x and 2.0x "extenders" on that lens to make it a 420mm and 600mm equivalent.
Now I have to go out and get more pictures!!
Mark
As usual, great pics.
