Honeysuckle I kind of like how this one was framed. Steve Thomas

I was doing a little reading about using a color polarizer in monochrome. Somebody is going to catch it later tonight. Steve Thomas

It's interesting. My T8i has in body movie image stabilization, but not still photo image stabilization. I wonder why. i got to thinking. I've got a 50mm 1.8 that doesn't have IS. I'm going to have ...

Dig, In your shots of the jets flying through the sky, do you remember what shooting mode you were in? Was it AV, or TV, or Manual? Steve Thomas

My wife tells me this is a canna lily. Steve Thomas

Mowing has its own hazards. You've got downed tree limbs and overhanging branches, and steep inclines. And. oh yeah, you can't forget the turtles. There's always the turtles. Steve Thomas

Dig, The picture is a deliberate photographic technique. It mimics what the human eye actually sees. Look across a room and focus on objects at the far end of the room. Now hold a pencil up at arms ...

I've been through a couple of tornadoes. The last one killed 22 people about a mile from me. They are not fun. Steve Thomas

Mr. Groundhog is out foraging. That's nice. Steve Thomas

I decided to experiment with my 50mm for a while. Both of these are cropped, the black and white more heavily so to eliminate a lot of sky. I like it. I had to crouch down to focus on the far ...

Jethro, In 4K and time-lapse modes, the T8i uses contrast detection. DPAF is only available in the HD modes. Steve Thomas

Jethro, Here's a short video taken with a 50mm STM lens at 30 fps (IPB light). You can judge for yourself how rapid the focus changes from near to far. I learned along the way that 4K autofocus ...

Jethro, Yes. I asked around. I wanted to see if anyone else experienced the same thing at really long focal lengths, or if was just a fluke with my 55-250. I never really got an answer from anyone ...

Jethro, I have a 50mm 1.8 (it's probably an STM). I think I'll give it a try for a while and see what I think. I know when I was testing movie servo at long focal lengths, the 50mm seemed to ...

Decisions, decisions. I'm trying to decide between a 24mm f/2,8 and an 18-135mm f/3,5-5.6. I read that the 24 is good for video, but that the 24 is soft at its widest, or lowest aperture numbers, ...

Nutsnut, I think all you'll need is an OTG cable that plugs into the charging port of your tablet, and then plug your card reader into the other end. Then all you'll need is an app like My Files, ...

Dig, You'd want to read your manual about configuring your wireless settings, and if you want to connect to your smartphone, Canon has a free app called Canon Camera Connect. I do not know if it ...

Dig, One quick note: When you first go into your wireless setting, the manual says. - QUOTE - - ENDQUOTE - Notice the phrase, "Other dedicated software". Canon, by default, defaults to the EOS ...

Dig, It's also useful for someone with a bad back, who finds it difficult to hold a camera up to eye level for a long period of time. You can also sit your tripod out in the hot sun, while you sit ...

Dig, Yes, that's the idea. The range depends on a number of factors... Whether you've got a clear line of sight, how much other wi-fi interference might be around, etc. I've seen various estimates ...
