Here's some shots from the the West Chester Cross Classic on Sunday, November 5, 2023.
I drove back to the shop a few hours later, and bought the 35mm.
My Sony a99, after a hot day of photographing the Great Valley Crit, starting acting up. After about 40 minutes or so of shooting, I would get an error saying that the IBIS (SteadyShot) was no longer working.
For some reason I got out the macro lens in early May and have rarely put it down! I took a few landscape shots since then, but mostly I've been playing in the macro landscape.
Always keep this in mind when photographing nature. April isn't the cruelest month...March is.
I spent most of January not going out into the cold.Â
Recently, two lenses and a flash popped up for sale locally on FB marketplace for $30, and I took notice.
I’ve spent the past month thinking a lot about gear.Â
 The Phoenix (Cosina) 100-400 slide zoom lens has such a 1980s vibe about it, you feel like making a mix tape and drinking a Zima the moment you use it for the first time.
Sometimes I need to force myself to leave the big lens at home and focus on something else. And, if I see a coyote, or a mink, or a Pennsylvania sasquatch, out on the trail, I'll just have to settle with trying to capture it as best as I can with whatever the hell I've got.
Spent another morning at Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River trying to get a few photos of eagles. A bit more successful this time!
I think I've become a discontinued Sony fanboy.Â
Froze my butt off for three hours, no great eagle pics, and, to top it off, my Sony a77 died. Stuck shutter curtain.Â
