I was actually about to head out, saw him running across my front yard. Of course, I ran to get my camera. Must have jumped my neighbors fence and I caught him in my backyard.
A few last images of my trip to Banff National Park. For those wondering, there is a conference I attend regularly in Banff in October. It went virtual in 2020, but was back on in 2021 with pretty stringent protocols. But, I was able to attend this year. A few last pictures....
This is the Three Sisters Viewpoint. Which cracks me up a bit that you can find it officially on google maps as it is not really an official viewpoint, but rather a bend in the river created by floods a few years ago. When Jonathan first showed me the spot a couple years ago, there were a couple other people there. The Saturday morning after the conference, it was a wall of people....but..

It's always fun to hang out with a guy who comes for a visit and completely kicks your butt with the photos he gets :p. Looking forward to next year!Quote:

A couple of other pics of the Snowy Owls:
High ISO shot. I did clean up the background noise but did not touch it on the Snowy.

Also, just to talk about it, below is one of the way I envision using tilt-shifted Mamiya lenses. This is the 45 f/2.8 at f/2.8 tilted and trying to run the focal plane along the path and into the sun. While I think some creative portraiture will be the more common use of this, I can see a few instances where they would have been fun like this, waterfalls in a canyon, etc.
