Title: Bald Eagle outing in Delta
Post by: DragonSpeed on January 10, 2022, 09:26:33 PM: I took advantage of the beautiful weather to go out to the North 40 Dog Park area of Delta. Lots of Eagles and a few extra bonuses too.

The problem with the mirrorless is 3-fold:

1) cost
2) lens compatibility
3) battery life

I'm going to hold on firm to my DSLR as long as I can. Might have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. ;D

If your light compensation is wrong, you see it through the view finder and don't have the problem of an hour of photographs with the wrong setting so they are all over or under exposed as can happen with the DSLR if you are not paying attention.

I've got to admit - I HAVE made that mistake of not checking my settings before going out to shoot. ::)
