Feedback / Question

OK,, so I used to post a photo a week for the past three year, but it got to be work.  This year, 2015; I decided to post when I photographed things, or had gear review to write up.

Having 3000 keeper Eagle Photos, I decided I would post one an eagle a day for the month of February.  So now for my question:

Do you want two posts a day on some days in February?  Like the vacation write up, or want me to wait until March one for extra posts?

Upcoming topics:

  • Canon 5D markk iii review
  • Me Foto tripod review
  • The 2 snow owls I found yesterday
  • Upcoming 1/2 price canvas wraps sale (in stock only, local pickup)

I have already lost two subscribers during the month of February.  Maybe there just here for the Canon 7D2 – 100-400 reviews, but it feels like 28 days of eagles might have ran them off.

Please use the comment section on this post for feedback and an open dialog.

Thanks in advance!

American Pelicans

You never really know what you might find when you stalk the banks of the mighty Mississippi.  During one of my recent eagle trips I was pleasantly please when a group of eight American White Pelicans showed up.

I was like “cool” I dont have any full frame in flight white pelican shots.  It wasn’t until I watched them devour every fish that was near the lock, and the eagles all left the area to roost in the trees.  (bummer)!

Lots of people take their dogs on walks around Smith Island, just North of the Lock & Dam 14.  I was getting the eye from this Bettendorf Bulldog!

with several days of sub zero tempatures, I am lookign forward to field testing new gear this weekend.  I picked up a 7D mark ii paired with the new 100-400 IS mark ii.  I will be doing a detailed review on this blog as soon as I get enough field time for an honest review.

My Gallery Debut

About Six months ago I was asked by my local gun store owner if I wanted to be the featured artist when he opened his new state of the art indoor shooting range.  Heck yeah I was all in!  Central Illinois Shooting Sports had their grand opening today.  You can follow them on Facebook.  If you do stop by be sure you tour the “Platinum Members Lounge” where my art is hung.  Make sure you tell Steve that I sent you!

I HATE getting in front of the camera, much more comfortable behind the lens than in autofocus cross hairs!  That does it, I need to go on a diet!

Update on my 2015 Wildlife Calendar project.  15 days down, and 30 days to go.  We have pledges of $948 on the way to $3,000.  One third of the time has elapsed, and the project has almost raised one third the funds needed.  It is going to be CLOSE, but you can help make the project a reality!  Pledge and share the project link!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and comments about my work.  It makes it all worth it!

More updates on the calendar soon, and I have booked my next adventure to go chase bugling Elk in the GSMNP.

Life is good, and I am blessed,
