Went on a short photo trip

Went on a short photo day trip to Algonquin park,
so of course the temperature was a birsk


Too chilly to take out the tripod for any length of time so did some hand-holding of the rather heavy gear, usually not recommended!
Here is one shot of a Gray Jay, taken with a handheld 600mm at f/5.6 @ 1/1000 second using a Canon EOS 5D MKII which held out in the cold a lot better than we did.




Image created using an older non-stabilized Sigma EX 120-300mm f/2.8 lens and a Sigma EX 2x teleconverter.

Lots more photos to follow, once I thaw out!

For tunes listening to David Gilmours Remember that Night blu-ray.
