Summer 2021 – Wisconsin Dells

I have enjoyed taking photos for awhile, but started to focus more on wildlife over the summer of 2021. I wanted a way to better capture our two puppies we got earlier in 2021. In learning more about sport/animal shooting I realized the importance of using the right lens and having the proper lighting.

There were a couple of old Tamron lenses that went out to 300mm that I have used to get shots of squirrels and birds, but I was never happy with how they turned out. Someday I will probably post those, but I have not made nearly enough progress to do something like that.

I ordered a 55-250mm lens that allowed me to get a closer focal length on my camera (Canon 70D at the time). This lens was a game changer, it had more reliable auto-focus and was much sharper.

Here are some pictures taken with that lens at the International Crane Foundation:

These spiders were also found along the Dells area:
