Trumpeter Swans
It's finally starting to feel like spring here in central Ontario. Much of the show has melted and the long sunny days are setting in!
There are some great wetlands near my place with Trumpeter Swans that originated from a reintroduction program. I had some fun photographing the swans on Sunday. The wide-angle shots were taken with my new Canon 24-70/2.8 lens. After using the 17-40 f/4 lens for years with the full-frame sensor bodies (1D series) - and always being disappointed with the soft corners, light fall off and barrel distortion - the 24-70 is a refreshing lens. Amazingly sharp and much better performance with a full frame sensor body.

A bit of fun with the wide-angle lens....

Here's my friend Ian with his wide-angle lens at ground level to shoot exaggerated images of the swans.

Feature in Outdoor Photography Canada
Be sure to check out the latest issue of Outdoor Photography Canada magazine to see a feature profile on me. In the interview I talk about how I got started in nature photography, what my favorite subjects are and how I philosophically approach nature photography. The interview was done from my cellphone while shooting Pine Grosbeaks in Algonquin Park - the ideal setting!
The magazine is out in select stores (ie. Chapters) across Canada or you can subscribe online at their site: Outdoor Photography Canada
This is a solid magazine - a fine showcase of Canadian landscapes and wildlife.
Happy spring!
