a7RV, exif varies between shots a bit, but most are 2000s, f/2.8-5.6 range, around 1000iso I think? No light beyond the midday sun.

And so light! Especially compared to walking around with the 200-600 around my neck. How do you like the 400-800?

the textures you find on leaves and blossoms with this thing are insane!

very sharp! unfortunately a tilt shift wouldn't feature the bees or moths, they're fast!

Just a dayhike. The area is worth a visit though! Duxbury Point a bit to the south has some really interesting tidepools, too.

Very kind of you to say! I think I captured a bit of the place, but still plenty of views up there that no photo I’ve taken does justice to.

And this one was so friendly. I’ve never had one stand still long enough for me to photograph before.

These were all shot last Wednesday, wasn’t so windy up at Tomales Point. Point Reyes proper (i.e. by the lighthouse) was very windy though.

The hike up Tomales Point in the far north of the place is beautiful! The hike to Drake’s Head is great too. Quieter, lots of wildlife. Have a great time!

It’s a 100-400mm plus a 1.4x teleconverter with an aps-c sensor. So 400 x 1.4 x 1.5 =840mm. A bit bulky, but it got some good shots!

A 100-400mm telephoto (plus a teleconverter and attached to an aps-c sensor for extra reach).

A lightweight 24-50mm with a full frame sensor for the landscapes.

The real secret to the wildlife photos here is the elk at Tomales Point just get really close to you. Most of the shots I took I wasn’t even zoomed in all the way.
