Another recent Great Gray Owl image made with the incredibly versatile Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens as I zoomed out to 210mm. The Sony a9II eye autofocus locked onto the eyes immediately and tracked the owl with ease.
Rechargable hand warmer battery pack review
I have accidentally found an incredible solution to my cold fingers that result from Raynaud’s Disease. The OCOOPA Fast-Charging 10,000mAh back-up battery and handwarmer with PD & QC 3.0 has three temperature settings and heats both sides of its excellent Ergonomic Design: The upper-wide, lower-narrow design is more suitable for grasping than the oval shape, fits the natural curve of your palm and is anti-slip. High-grade silicone oil surface coating, soft and delicate to the touch, also has superior thermal conductivity.
The hottest setting is almost too hot to handle and the units I tested lasted for nearly four hours on high, and more than 12 hours on the lowest setting.
Recharging is super fast; I used an 18W USB wall charger, and it only took three hours and 12 minutes to charge a completely drained unit.
These are an excellent power source and back-up battery for your mirrorless camera and mobile phone as well.
I have now have four of these with me at all times while in the field: one for each loose fitting mitten, and two extra fully charged units as backups in case I accidentally forgot to turn off or charge them. On the coldest of days, I can use the two extras as heaters in the inside pockets of my parka.

Male Snowy Owl WHITEOUT
Here’s a male Snowy Owl in a blizzard; it’s a white bird flying in the snow in a snow covered field. I really needed those eyes to make something visually compelling.
With the snow falling and wind howling from our backs, frost on my glasses and in my viewfinder, I realized that there was no way I could have focused and followed the owls in flight without the awesomeness of the Sony Auto-focus system. I simply kept the green boxes (the green focus confirmation boxes that locked onto the owl’s eyes) in the middle of the viewfinder, and the Sony a9 II Camera did the rest!
