Today's blog is going to be short and sweet. Warm temperatures. Blue skies. And finally photography after work.
I went to Mud lake today which is located just off of the Ottawa river in Ottawa's west end. I just needed some fresh air and clear my mind. I always like going to Mud lake as there are plenty of varied wild life to watch and photograph from small birds to big birds, turtles, and small woodland animals to deer.
Since my longest lens is the Canon EF f2.8 L 70-200MM, I will be doing a lot of cropping of some of my photography since I got rid of the Sigma f5-6.3 150-500MM lens to get another Canon EOS 6D body.
On my way around the lake on the walking path I met a friend and fellow photographer. He will remain nameless as he shoots on a competing camera line which will also remain nameless. Now, I met my friend on a bridge which crosses some water. From this vantage point you can shoot a lot of water fowl such as geese, ducks, musk rats, beaver and very friendly turtles who will gladly pose for you for a small fee.
I spent about two and a half hours shooting the sh*t just talking photography and various other topics. For not being a people person that is pretty good. As I am a solitary photographer meaning that I love going to do photography by myself most of the time so I can stop, think, take pictures as I please without any interruption. I also like doing photography in small groups with other photographers.
Yes, this is a convoluted blog post as it's late on a Thursday night and I work early tomorrow morning. Plus I wanted to do some astrophotography tomorrow night since I don't have to get up any time soon on Saturday and I could actually sleep in.
By the way, have I mentioned recently that Canon rocks?
