At Continuous-Hi, shooting uncompressed raw, My A7R4 slows down after about 5 seconds, 33 photos.  I'd suggest you measure your own camera for number of seconds before it slows down. Then, ...

Thank you very much, Bob. That is extremely helpful.

I photographed an ISS transit of the sun at 1/1600 sec shutter speed last year and it turned out great. Without thinking it through, I shot a transit of the moon last night at 1/100 shutter speed, ...

I don't understand how configurable raw file sizes would work. I'd think the only way to do this pristinely (without de-mosaicing, doing some destructive filtering, and re-mosaicing) would be to ...

Thanks for the correction.  I'm curious, though, how does my A7II know the corrections to apply for lenses designed long after it's final firmware update?  Are the corrections in the lens itself, ...

I suspect the file formats are identical, but the camera model name in the exif data has changed to the new camera. Surely that has to be part of what's used to find proper lens correction, since ...

Thanks for the kind words, Jean. Yup, you're sure right about that 2nd shot of Brown School (the one in Barry County, for anyone following along). I've straightened it considerably. The shot to ...

Hi Jean, thanks for the comments.  I do favor my 55mm lens whenever I can get away with it for these schoolhouses (and many other subjects).  This schoolhouse is problematic for all but pretty ...

Thanks, Joini.  I straighten architectural shots all the time.  The amount prespective in that shot seemed natural to me so I left it alone.  However I did a half-way transform and like it more, ...

Thanks, Don.  That's an interesting thought that would never have occurred to me.

Thanks, blutrane.

I've just published the photos and descriptions of 191 Michigan Schoolhouses I've visited over the last 9 years onto my website. Comments, suggestions and bug reports are welcome.  Please visit htt ...

Consider millions of drinking glasses put side-to-side on the ground in a straight line running across a narrow rain cloud. The capacity of each glass is 110 raindrops. We open the gigantic lid ...

Thank you so much.  I've been fighting that 'feature' for a long time.

Hopefully someone will give you a better answer that lets you keep using your phone app when offline. But lacking that, here's my suggestion.... The North Celestial Pole (NCP) is a precise spot in ...

I agree. 2nd set is better since set 2 #3 is a more interesting shot to me than set 1 #1.  If set 2 #3 doesn't fit the mood of the others, work to make it fit better.  Make it a bit less intense, ...

1st photo is great. Wouldn't change anything. 2nd photo is better in color - the black-and-white doesn't force me to look at anything that the color doesn't, and the color seems more 3D to me than ...

My two most used lenses with my A7R4 are Zony 55mm f/1,8 Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 I use both for landscape and architecture and walks in the woods, and I've used the 55mm for portraits occasionally, ...

See https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html You should get the Creative Cloud Photography plan, $10/month plus tax, includes both Lightroom and Photoshop.  Not sure whether you're planning ...

No, it's Deneb.  Above that star is a horizontal line of stars that you should be able to match-up to the stellarium view and recognize as the wings of Cygnus.  The stellarium view needs to be ...
