2013 was a great year for me - shooting humpbacks bubble fishing off bc coast, bears in prince rupert, hiking in tombstone park, chasing muskox on King William Island above the arctic circle, shooting northern lights in Whitehorse.
I just bought the a7r and metabones and some native lens for it and am ready for more resolution of banff area pictures. But I am still not sold on the body. Between the battery performance and bad menu options and shutter vibration, I should have just bought a d800 and 14-24. Heresy! I am hoping for a canon replacement to it for my ts17 already.
I am not ready to retire with 3 children in University (Engineering, Architecture and Business) and one more pending talking about medicine. And I like my job too. So my time is swirls around my job. But in a perfect world - a trip to Patagonia soon, a weekend trip to Mt Assiniboine for snowshoing in March, a cruise/off cruise wife trip to Alaska in June for grizzly, a trip to Pond Inlet in July for icebergs calving/kayaking, and a helicopter trip to Tombstone for northern lights and fall colors early september. And lots and lots of Banff/Kananaskis bears, moose and landscape. Obviously with only 5 weeks vacation something is not going to fit in.
My goal is to slow down and be more deliberate in landscape this year. Less but with more quality. More foreground and lower perspective with the tilt lens. And finding some time for nightscapes. ...Show more →
Hey Scott,
Yeah, I remember those days of having to spread out 5 weeks of vacation. It takes some smart planning, and using lot's of long weekends to spread the days out longer. As for the A7r, I think from what I have read, you would have been much better off with a D800E and the 14-24mm... just saying....
