Desert Cottontail Rabbit<\/p><\/div>\n

With the advent of camera phones photos popping up everywhere, we think it’s refreshing to see a Real-camera™ image once in a while. Given that Camera-Phones® do some seriously good work from time to time, we feel that stand alone equipment, such as our Canon EOS R10 and\/or Canon EOS Rebel SL3 with assorted lenses and equipment, perform better and more reliably than the pocket-sized phenomena. <\/p>\n

Case in point: I took the above photo this morning with the R-10 and its 55-210mm lens (@210mm) of a young rabbit in our desert back yard. The subject was some 10 meters away from me and posed quietly as I snapped this shot. Only one take was needed and I can see the details of the little guy’s whiskers, eyes, the detailed veins in his ears, and mottled fur as if it were only three feet away.<\/p>\n

I usually carry one of my two Canon cameras in the morning walks, and often get a good enough photo to post online or show to the wife, etc. We’re very satisfied with the equipment and accessories. In the near future, I need to swap out lenses and do some more dabbling into various modes of photo taking. We have multiple lenses suitable for astro telephotos to macro close-ups and everything in between. Stay tuned. Both Verna and I will be posting our work here and on the CapnBob<\/a> website.<\/p>\n
