Pre eclipse capture of the wolf moon. Manually focusing in live view was a joy due to the silky smooth focus ring, especially compared to my Siggy 150-600C, which is much tighter. My one dislike with this lens is the lack of a traditional zoom lock.

Interesting to see the slightly different angles as seen from the UK and the US.

The main dam to the beaver pond breached in the rain storm Saturday night. It's been a wet year and the latest round was just too much. Here a young raccoon feeds in the mud. Stayed late but didn't see any busy little beaver. The red shouldered hawk flew over looking also.

I saw this Great Blue sitting back under the canopy. He had this very pretty light on him and he looked like he was about to move. So, I waited for him.

The problem is.....I've seen these guys sit motionless for hours. But, not today. He hopped from one branch to another shortly after I got there.

I love the little dust off of his feet after he lifts off.

Pretty guy.

Nice series, Bob.

Thanks, Mike.

I wasn't aware you could get infinity focus with the 12mm tube. I have tried that sort of stack before, but only on a 70-200; I should try it again.

Got my work order yesterday that I knew would take me by this fenced waterworks that is known for harboring trophy bucks so I packed my camera along. Glad I did .

Hi Annie. Nice sharp moon shot. Your part of the UK is more devoid of light pollution than mine. I had a very good friend who lived at Dalwhinny on the bank of Loch Ericht, the night sky was so unbelievably clear. He then bought a house on the bank of West Loch Tarbet, again unbelievable clear skies - and lots of wildlife too.
My moon shots were a not really presentable - too much cloud cover.
