I don’t often shoot landscape images, but I was so taken with the stark beauty of the ice-covered world that I encountered on New Year’s Day at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge that I decided that I should attempt to capture a sense of the moment. I used the wide-angle capabilities of my Canon SX50 superzoom camera in the first two images below and shot the third one with the Tamron 150-600mm lens, the lens that I use on my Canon 50D for a significant number of my the photos featured on this blog.

I like photos of ice – nicely done, Mike.
Beautiful! I bought the Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens last summer. I love it.
Thanks. I have the original version of the lens and have been really happy with the results. I have used it enough to be familiar with both its advantages and its limitations and its is on my camera a more than any other lens that I own.
