views on a driftless prairie

For this set, I took my Canon T7 on the road to visit a local praire. I also took my Sigma 150-600 mm lens, as well as my new Canon EF-S 10-18 mm to experiment. I have grown to appreciate landscape photography, and typically use only my Pixel 7 Pro's camera...but a friend at work recommended the EF-S. Here were a few shots with that.

Noticing that a pair of red-winged blackbirds were hovering over menear the tree above, I went back and grabbed my Sigma lens. I must have been near their nest, as they both worked in tandem to keep me away.

No worries, little ones...I mean no harm. I always struggle with the males...they are so black...it's hard to pull out any detail from their heads/beaks/eyes from the rest of their bodies.

I also managed to capture some of the detail of the wild praire plants near me.

As well as a young white tailed deer!

The light was low as it was around 6:30 AM Central, my time, but the lens were fun to experiment with. I will definitely head back as the season change.

Thanks for checking them out...and any feedback / criticism is appreciated!

I know, I know...boring, lol. I am definitely noticing a "light" with Canon cameras...almost like a "Light haze", if that makes sense? I really need to get another brand or try another brand to compare contrast. I still like the Canons, but i am curious about others.

Well, I couldn't think of "boring", not at all. I love nature and the absence of sounds and noise of human/industrial origin, lmao.

With regards to that haze you mention, was the lens hood on? It really makes a huge difference. Also, the Canon "L" series, that's the pro series with the red ring on the lenses, has special optical groups to make the light processing much better. I may be wrong but I think only the EF-mount Canon lenses have "L".
