Splendid! Thanks for sharing, RF

Thank you for correct species name. They really look like a flying shrimps. Here is a photo of Hummingbird Moth I recently took at Chicago Botanic Gardens. You can clearly see the difference...

I purchased 70-200 F4IS at the time of introduction. Along with 24-105 F4 IS it was my preferred traveling combo first on 5DII, later on 1DMkIV. Then, based on hype, I bought 70-200 F2.8MkII....

Looks like contrast and sharpness across the frame are first class. Nice color rendering as well. Beautiful scenery. Have fun! Richard

Laurence, I find the aerial photography remotely controlled from the ground fascinating in terms of gear and techniques. You have started describing it in some details but your post (among others)...

Yes it seems to me like a CA. RF

Perhaps it would be better if you've left Laurence's response to your post in this conversation intact, instead of removing it. Such manipulation puts my second sentence out of context. It was...

"Nice one" don't do this picture justice, especially when one care looking at it at original size. This is where oversharpening artefacts and CA raise their ugly heads making it substandard for...

Another testimony of capability and versatility of RX100 in hands of skilled photographer. Great PP as well. Thanks for bringing back the memories from 15 years ago. Waiting for more. Thanks...

Kudos to DPReview for collaborating with other industry insiders and linking to such a great read.

I spent most of my life in hi tech machining environment and I'm astonished to see such...

Richard, This is really spectacular capture in amazing details. I really like the muted colors of a cloudy day which contribute nicely to overall mood of the scene. Thanks for sharing Richard

Rick, This is correct to some extend. In case of Canon EF24-70F2.8 MKII, they were able to reduce the weight of new lens by substantial amount mainly by using engineered high quality composites for...

The most incredible from the list would be 24-70 F2 OS in terms of full frame compatibility. I have Canon's MKII version of 24-70F2.8 and the results across the FF coverage have to be seen to be...

Initially, I thought that it was Rick but you have corrected my mistake a long time ago. There is a lot of truth (in my mind) in "Nutella" theory as far as Bayer sensor technology is concerned. It...

Locked/removed threads and recycle time of the first page says it all.  Cheers Richard

It is plastic.

Well, what else can I say. If you've did not do that already, it is a time to hit the other forums with your quest. Hope, if you don't want to do that for yourself, eventually someone will find...

Just afterthoughts. I have spent many hours (fish not baiting) laying on the bottom of my boat being drifted by the wind across the lake and observing forming of the cumulonimbus clouds. I think...

The pictures are what they are. Straight from the camera JPEG taken in "tourist" P mode, hand held by my non photographer wife, without further manipulation. Having said that the colors are fairly...

O.K, a couple more, this time undercooked DP2M clouds: Do they look natural enough for you? Best Richard
