Duck Hunting with my Canon 5D MarkII

Duck hunting can be an exciting and challenging activity, and capturing the moment can be just as rewarding as the hunt itself. With the Canon 5D Mark II camera, you can capture stunning images that showcase the beauty and power of these waterfowl.

The Canon 5D Mark II is a professional-grade camera that features a full-frame CMOS sensor, which produces high-quality images with exceptional detail and clarity. Its advanced autofocus system allows you to track moving subjects, such as ducks in flight, with ease. Additionally, the camera’s high ISO capabilities enable you to shoot in low-light conditions, making it ideal for early morning or late evening hunts.

Winter Prep For Spring Camping

Winter may seem like an unlikely time to think about camping, but it can actually be a great opportunity to prepare for your springtime outdoor adventures. There are a few things you can do during the winter months to ensure that you’re ready for your next camping trip.

Firstly, you can use the winter months to research potential camping locations. Look for campgrounds that are open in the spring and summer months, and read reviews from other campers to get an idea of what to expect. You can also research hiking trails and other outdoor activities in the area to plan your itinerary.

Secondly, use the winter months to check and repair your camping gear. Inspect your tent, sleeping bags, and other camping equipment for any signs of wear and tear, and make any necessary repairs. This will ensure that your gear is in good condition and ready to use when you head out into the wilderness.

Going Wide Angle!!!

That’s right all, I am going wide angle lens with the 5D Mark ii. Hopped on KEH to look for a 200-dollar or less lens and found the Canon 20-35mm F/3.5-4.5 USM EF Mount Lens in excellent condition. Boy howdy was this thing clean as hell, looked almost like new. So I tossed it on the 5D the day after I received it and took the shots below. The first two shots were shot at 20mm.

20mm

The next shot was at 35mm.

35mm

So going into 2024 I will be shooting some cool super wide angle shots and amazing landscape shots. So thanks to Ashley at KEH for suggesting the lens hits the spot.
