Some periodic writings about wildlife photography and some of the things that I have seen in nature.
Testing the Canon EOS R5 Mark II at Narooma
After familiarising myself with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II with photographing around Canberra, I took it with me to Narooma, NSW, to continue to get used to it. I was hoping to find some good photography subjects and I was not disappointed. One of the wonderful birds I encountered was a juvenile Black-Shouldered Kite. The experience of photographing that bird alone was enough to make my time in Narooma worthwhile, but I also found a number of other subjects as well. I hope that you enjoy the photos in this post.
New camera - Canon EOS R5 Mark II
In January 2025 I was finally in a position to upgrade my camera gear and go mirrorless. The camera I purchased was the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. This was my first mirrorless camera and my first professional level camera. Of course I tested the camera in the garden as soon as I could but I really wanted to find better subjects to see what it could do. So early on a Sunday morning I headed to Callum Brae Nature Reserve. After just a couple of hours of using R5 Mark II, I was so happy with my choice and my only regret was not upgrading sooner.
