This ram is the king of the mountain.
When composing an animal, I like to leave extra space in the direction the animal's body is pointed toward and extra space in the direction the animal's head is facing. In other words, the animal's body should be coming into the frame vs. exiting, and the animal's head should be looking into the frame vs. out of the frame. Usually, this strategy provides a visual balance.
Sometimes, the body and head point in opposite directions, and in that case, a centered animal may be the optimal choice. Another scenario calling for a centered animal is when it is directly facing and approaching the camera (or the opposite), providing symmetry that balances well in the center of the frame.
The ram's raised right-front leg adds a sense of movement, giving this frame an advantage over the many others captured during this encounter.

Delkin Launches NEW CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 – NOT THE REAL STORY
Poway, CA, May 1, 2024 – Delkin Devices, a manufacturer of flash storage solutions and camera accessories, is excited to announce the launch of their brand-new line of BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 Memory Cards, but that’s not the real story. The REAL story is why you should TRUST Delkin by learning why they choose to use pSLC flash in their cards.
NAND flash is a non-volatile memory chip that can hold data even without power, and it is the heart of all memory cards. Manufacturers have tried to make it more dense and smaller in order to store more data for less money, but the ultimate result is a reduction in longevity and performance. This is quite the opposite of what is good for NAND memory cards. Photographers and videographers need to store photos and videos quickly, yet on a robust card that has longevity.
SLC flash is the most rugged and expensive type of flash due to its incredible endurance and performance, although its biggest downside is high cost and relatively small capacity size. The latest version of SLC that keeps the longevity, but improves the capacity (and price), is called pSLC (Pseudo SLC), which is what Delkin uses in their line of BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 (as well as Delkin SD BLACK Rugged V90) memory cards.
pSLC can read twice as fast as TLC (Triple-Level Cell) or even QLC (Quad-Level Cell), which is used by most card makers today. In addition, it can also be written up to six times as fast. pSLC has a life span between 7,000 and 28,000 TBW (Terabytes Written) depending on card capacity, in comparison to other flash types that only support 300 to 2,000 TBW before they begin to lose data and slow down. Yes, NAND flash does not last forever – something the industry does not talk about.
For the greatest value, a BLACK CFexpress™ Type B 4.0 memory card will provide maximum reliability, performance and endurance, compared to other cards on the market. It will even generate less heat, as it programs faster and will run fast longer. pSLC uses 1/3 of the NAND in the card and in all cases has more chips and blocks available. For example, a 4TB card is used to build a 1.3TB capacity BLACK card – the added flash offers more spare blocks, as well as better management to keep the card working at 100% performance. This results in less frequent reformatting.

I had to go back for a second attempt.
Just outside of Badlands National Park is the small town of Wall, SD. Wall is best known as the home of the massive roadside attraction Wall Drug Store.
Describing the Wall Drug Store is beyond the scope of this post but calling it unique is a vast understatement.
Inside, the narrow Wall Drug traveler's chapel seemed inviting to the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens's ultra-wide-angle view, and I spent a few minutes capturing it.
I had this image queued to share, and as I was preparing the post, I realized that the room was not squared in the frame. I had carefully leveled and centered the camera during the capture and didn't otherwise pay much attention to that aspect of the image while processing it.
With that realization, I was no longer satisfied with the image. Considering the age of the building, I even wondered if the problem was caused by the structure itself. A quick search of other Wall Chapel photos shows similar crookedness.
Still, I was bothered. So, a second attempt was made a year later.
This time, I was acutely aware of the first attempt's shortcomings, and while the second attempt's results were better, I still wouldn't call them perfect. Photoshop to the rescue.
This image required HDR compositing due to the bright lights and stained glass windows. Layer opacity adjustments handled that task for this image.

TAMRON announces development of first CANON RF mount lens
The compact, lightweight, fast-aperture F2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom
April 23, 2024, 12AM ET / April 22, 2024, 9PM PT, Commack, NY – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shogo Sakuraba; Headquarters: Saitama City, Japan; “TAMRON”), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the development of TAMRON’s first CANON RF mount lens, 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A[1] RXD (Model B060), an ultra wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras.

The goal for the middle portion of the total eclipse was to capture a wide range of bracketed exposures to pull out the distant corona. This image shows the result of one optional HDR processing technique.
The exposure bracketed images were loaded as Photoshop layers and manually aligned. Next, the opacity of each layer was reduced, allowing the next-lower layer to show through. The lowest included layer's opacity remains at 100%.
This image was modestly cropped from the top right to center the sun, but it shows an expected result from the 840mm focal length. This angle of view fills a substantial portion of the frame with the corona.
Want to contain the corona streamers within the frame? Do not use the brightest exposures in the HDR stack. The center image in the Total Solar Eclipse Phase Progression image illustrates this strategy.

Most of us photographing a total solar eclipse capture images throughout the partial phases. While partial eclipse images are interesting, I quickly get bored of viewing circles with a bite out of them, including mine. Create a progression composite image that tells the "full" story, and you will have my attention. Thus, such an image was one of my goals for the 2024 total solar eclipse.
Aside from the center row, these images were captured 2.5 minutes apart. Even with a modest crop from an 840mm focal length, the individual Sony Alpha 1 images are large, and 77 of them in a single PS file created an unacceptable processor load. A 50% overall size reduction made the processing tolerable, and this image still weighs in at over 266 MP, enough resolution to print massive.

This composite image was my primary goal for the 2024 total solar eclipse. What I didn't foresee was the effort required to get the shots.
The weather forecast was the problem, and the over 1,000 miles added to the rental car tell only part of the story that included a day-prior relocation from an ideal shooting location in central TX to north central AR — storm unchasing.
Fortunately, the clear sky chase was successful, and the second-darkest exposures from the C1 brackets described in the Total Solar Eclipse Photography Plan provided the optimal exposures for this image.
The images in this composite were captured 1-second apart, illustrating how fast the favorite Baily's Beads stage passes.
The individual images are straight out of Lightroom with the default settings, with slight shadow brightness and clarity increases added to the final image in PS.
The left and right-side images are independently rotated to enable a horizontal format that retains clear visibility of the progression.

Shiprock, named for its resemblance to an old clipper ship, is surrounded by a vast desert, with clear views from nearly all directions. While the enormous rock formation provides a dramatic subject over the flat desert, I found the tall, narrow, naturally formed dike leading to it especially entertaining and a great foreground subject to include in the frame.
On a clear day, the first sunrise light casts a golden color on this landscape, and this light angle's contrast emphasizes the texture of Shiprock.
I planned, flew, drove, lodged, got up early, drove farther, and then hiked. That effort and expense meant no settling for second best on the camera and lens. Why were the Canon EOS R5 and RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Lens selected?
The R5 is currently my preferred Canon camera. It continuously delivers beautiful, accurately focused, high-resolution images.
The light shown in this image only lasts for a few minutes, and the RF 24-105 had the optimal focal length range to rapidly capture a variety of compositions, including some with Shiprock more isolated in the frame. Since a narrow aperture was needed for increased depth of field, a larger, heavier, and wider aperture lens was not necessary or desired, and this L lens feeds the R5 the impressive optical quality required for stand-out images.
