Morning kayaking on the Humber River. We saw ducks, swans, cormorants, painted turtles, dragonflies, butterflies, fish and a deer.

Good morning.

8 August 2025

I probably spend way too much on camera gear—but it keeps me busy. Just yesterday, I added a Canon RF 1.4x Extender to my setup, pairing it with the Canon R5 and the 200–800mm lens. That bumps my maximum focal length up to 1120mm, effectively bringing me about 40% closer to the subject—usually birds. I gave it a quick test last night with a snapshot of the moon (you can find it somewhere in my threads). I’ll need more time with it before I can judge how much it affects image quality, though everything I’ve read suggests the impact is minimal. I joke about overspending, but honestly, the gear gives me purpose. It’s like running a quiet workshop where no one pays, but the craft keeps calling—each photo a piece laid gently on the bench, shaped by light and patience.
