On a recent trip to Canada I visited Grouse Mountain, Vancouver. On the mountain there are several Grizly Bears in a very natural environment, which had recently came out of hibernation. The bears were very active in their environment and it was a great venue to get many natural images of these magnificent creatures. The… Continue reading Grizly Bears From Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

In the past the Nikon 300mm f/4D lens was my favourite lens for my animal and bird photography but with the passage of time things are changing. Don’t get me wrong the 300mm f/4D lens is still great, but occasionally it was not quite enough. Since using the new Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 lens it is… Continue reading The Nikon D810 Camera with the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR AF-S Lens

The camera has a timeless style but when you look closely it also has the latest technology in many respects. One thing that strikes me is that it… Continue reading Nikon Df Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera
