About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Catbird Photo Taken with Sony a6600 Camera & Minolta 500mm f8 auto focus lens

I snapped this Catbird in the garden at our home in Chaumont, NY. This is the first one I've seen a 2 or 3 years. I used a Sony a6600 camera with a Minolta 500mm f8 mirror autofocus lens. It was attached to the camera with the Sony La-EA5 adapter. What a great combination of equipment. The camera was handheld. Amazing sharpness, in a big part due to the 5 way image stabilization of the Sony a6600.
Here is a detail cropped from the above photo.
