Outdoor adventures and photography with A Montana View: Belted Kingfisher on the Bitterroot River, Montana

Belted Kingfisher we saw while floating the mainstem of the Bitterroot River.

About my cameras

You will see photos using various cameras. The three I am using most are:

Cannon EOS 7D: The 40D was my entry into EOS digital. I have moved to the 7D now and love it. I am really liking the ability to manually adjust my photos and use the RAW image feature. It is heavier, bigger, less rugged and more expensive. I use it when ever I can, but sometimes opt to leave it in the car.

My current lenses: a standard EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for Macro and medium length shots - added a SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Aspherical DF Macro SLD Autofocus Lens; using a Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS for wildlife and birds. My newest lens is a Canon EF500mm f/4L IS USM.

Pentax Optio: It is rugged, sort of waterproof, small and takes reasonably good photos. I carry it in my pack and use it on more difficult ski, hike and weather situations. It isn't as good at zoom and focus, but I don't worry about hurting it. It is great for the river.

Olympus SP500 UZ: This was my in-between camera for a few years before it was stolen in Argentina. It's in the middle for size, price, focus, weight, zoom and focus capabilities. I would still be using it on hikes if I could. You will see some photos I took with this camera.
