Silky Water — Handheld!
by Susan
What is this, some sort of magic? No, it’s not magic at all. In fact, it’s something that’s been around for a while. The Big Three camera makers, though, are just beginning to catch on to it and are now putting it in their newer cameras — you can buy these if you like, but it will cost you big time — be prepared … Read More Silky Water — Handheld!
McNature
by Susan
Having an affinity for nature photography, Diet Coke, and a bargain, I am a frequent visitor at McDonald’s golden arches. I can’t help but notice what surrounds most of their restaurants, it’s pretty nice. So, I make it a habit to bring a camera with me while I wait at the drive-thru for a large Diet Coke/light ice — a real bargain at $1.00 … Read More McNature
A Different Kind of Nature
by Susan
Human nature. I ran into some of it yesterday. Weird. Nobody likes being told what to do or when to do it, especially me. But these are hard times. CoVid-19 is a thing unknown. Extremis malis extrema remedia, no? When I left work yesterday around noon, horns were honking and cars were gathering in the shopping center parking lot across the street. “Oh,” I … Read More A Different Kind of Nature
Requiem for the 1100d
by Susan
Was happily clicking the shutter button when the dreaded error appeared: Easy enough, with a Q-Tip and some 90% alcohol. But the error message remained, even with the camera turned off. Removing and then reinserting the battery got rid of the message, but now I had a black screen. The problem wasn’t the lens; it worked fine on the 77d. So, there I was … Read More Requiem for the 1100d
Love ’em or Loathe ’em?
by Susan
I didn’t even know what a bridge camera was until maybe a year-and-a-half or so ago, when I decided to concentrate on nature photography. That’s when I yearned for a 400mm lens to replace my very-good-but-now-hardly-used 300. It wasn’t long before I wanted a 600 to replace the 400 — and that’s where I was stuck until I discovered bridge cameras. Sure, I could … Read More Love ’em or Loathe ’em?

Here’s Me
by Susan
I’m a short. round, opinionated old lady. You can distinguish me from other short, round, opinionated old ladies because I’m the one dragging my camera and gear around in a polka-dotted Kate Spade bag. When I am not roaming the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge or Sterling Nature Center or the marshes alongside Route 38, I am probably wishing I was. I don’t know why plants … Read More Here’s Me
