I think it's time to go back to just doing photography. Not just your run of the mill wildlife and animal photography but high end landscape photography.
Yesterday I went to my local photography store and I bought a Sony A7R II camera body. Just the body. I have to wait a bit to buy the specific lens I want. I'll probably get it in the next week or two. I was thinking yesterday that Parc Omega isn't worth going to anymore as the entrance fee just keeps going up and up and up. The fencing is higher now that it ever has been so if I want to photograph the Arctic Wolves for example, it's virtually impossible to get them without having the fence in the way.
I want to get the Sony f3.5-6.3 24-240MM lens for the Sony A7RII body. I think it's wide enough and it has enough reach for me to get most things. The Sony A7RII has 42.4 megapixels so I can crop in to whatever I want. I think it's going to be the perfect camera/lens combination.
It's early March now and the snow is starting to melt away. It's supposed to be above zero starting tomorrow during the day at least. I have pretty much all the camping gear I need. Sleeping bag, mattress, pillow to sleep in the back of the car. All I need now is just a cooler to put my food and water into and I can now leave for the weekends to go car camping and do photography on the weekends with the new camera.
I will need to buy an extra set of batteries for this camera as the battery life sucks on this Sony camera. I'm seeing a picture of the Sony batteries not being so good on most Sony cameras. But if I'm just doing landscapes, I can just fire off 300-400 shots over the weekend and work with just one battery. I just want that lens.
