Moose Podcast #167 – “Light of the Season”

In this episode “Light of the Season”
The reason for the season starts with a light from a star. That story is over two thousand years old and to this day, the light from our star, the sun, still makes our storytelling come to life. How do you understand the power of the light better? I have a thought or two.

I love the phone calls that come in, they make me laugh at myself! We just had a call from a lovely lady wanting to give her husband a Moose Workshop for Christmas. She asked if we do such things and of course, we do (why is it wives are always “gifting” this for their husbands … hmmm). This is what we have to offer for 2020

Moose Podcast #165 – “What Scale?”

In this episode “What Scale?”
Photographers love to know, is there photograph good or not? In this life long quest, the one thing I don’t think is looked at enough is, what scale are these judgment calls being made by? Do you know? You should!

The Venerable 80-400VR

Baby Moose :-)
captured by 80-400

I’m constantly, and understandably so, asked about the 80-400VR2 lens. It has been around now for a while and in the dust of new releases, kinda gets forgotten. Yes, I still have an 80-400VR2 and yes, it still gets used all the time. When do I/we use it? It’s primary use now is for video. Its smooth and sharp focus and compact size make it a killer lens for all our video work. We do use it though for so much more than that!

Oh heck yeah! When I need a light lens to hike back into the backcountry for Moose, it’s the 80-400VR2 is that goes along with me. It’s a great lens for birds and big game. At the feeder, the killer MFD and range is essential. When I’m going an air-to-air mission and I have a formation in the que, the 80-400VR2 is THE lens! That 80 to 400mm range and aperture closing down past f/32 makes the magic come to life in the viewfinder.
