*** Your R System Images - December ***

[ratman42]

This might not look like much, but it I think it is a successful experiment. This is a composite made up entirely of EOS R5 images. All were taken through a 805mm f/7 telescope (115mm lens diameter). The background was a 1/2 second exposure at ISO 51k. The shot of Jupiter, Saturn, and Jupiter's moons was a stack of the best 500 images from an 8K RAW video, extracted from the CRM with Adobe Premiere Pro, and processed with PIPP and AutoStakkert. The raw background was "lightly" processed with DxO PhotoLab 4 (Deep Prime noise removal), and then heavily processed with Adobe Photoshop to further remove noise, adjust brightness, remove the glare of Saturn so Rhea was visible, and so on. The Jupiter/Saturn image from the video was then stacked on top with additional brightness/contrast adjustments.

I expect the video stacking technique could be further developed - Premiere Pro only saves 8-bit images; I really want something that can extract the full-depth raw Bayer array.

The second image is the same as the first, but with labels to help orient the viewer.

Thanks.

I"m enjoying using the camera. Still getting used to the EVF, there are times where I miss having an OVF, but overall very easy camera to use and typical great SOOC jpegs, which is something I think Canon has akways done well.

Just received my R5 this week and took it out for a wildlife shoot in the Netherlands! love the quality at 1.6x crop!






Uploaded from iPhone, hope the original quality is saved!

Merry Christmas!

Anyway, the clouds lifted last night and this morning, so we got a bit of frost effect, but well lit.

I have a thing for brick walls lit form the side. Can you tell?

Lily, not pink

Christmas lilies in the Christmas rain. First attempt at a hand-held 10-shot focus stack with my R6 and RF24-105. Merged in DPP4, tweaked in Lightroom Classic. Not unhappy, except about the weather...

I just got the RF 70-200, and wanted to test it out. Geese in the local park make good subjects, right? I'm really impressed with the fast focusing and image quality of the RF 70-200.

Here are the three family members who've had to endure even more photographic attention than usual over the last 9 months, and especially the last few days, as I try out my new R and lenses:

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.

Just got the R5 and indeed much better than my R. Now I got to get out more. Cheers!

Lucy here is a wonderful and very trusting subject to practice on. I've found many dogs understandably don't like having a big piece of glass in front of their face. Very little bothers her as long as family is nearby.

This was another of my regular trips to Bushy Park to photograph the deer; There's a herd of fallow deer that can normally be found in the same area of that park and tend to attract less attention from the other photographers than the larger, red deer might do (I think they're a lot more photogenic!)

All with the R5 + 300mm F2.8L IS MK2
