Well, for some people, the hobby of photography is mainly about owning the latest and greatest, as bragging rights or just to bask in the warm glow of knowing that you're a winner and everyone ...

I might move one or both to Exhibition, if I get some more interesting shots. I'm hoping for some scary Halloween shots soon.

Well, you said you had the upgrade itch, but weren't considering mirrorless, because of the "insane prices". I hardly think it's off topic to point out that there are excellent mirrorless upgrade ...

The M200 with 22 F2 is almost as small as the Ricoh, considerably cheaper, has just as good image quality, is a stop faster, and can take other lenses, if you ever get tired of shooting with just...

If you're interested in the 90D, you should seriously consider the M6II. In many respects, it's a mirrorless version of the 90D, and is considerably better in some areas, notably the amazing AF. I ...

If you mean the 17-40 F4L, yes it will, though most people with an opinion would recommend a different option. I had it years ago on a crop DSLR, and it worked very well, but I haven't tried it on ...

Beautiful. It's in Exhibition.

OK, but you can't really be suggesting that there is a noticeable difference between the 50MP of the 5DsR and the 45MP of the R5. In fact, several reviews say that the detail from the R5 is ...

Definitely a 70-200 F2.8, as many others have said. That range was built for indoor sports (among other things). I have the 70-200 F2.8L IS II, which is simply amazing (I've read that the ...

I'm not sure what you're asking. I had both the 7D and the 7DII, and neither one has a touchscreen.

Very Halloweenie. I've put it in Exhibition.

The 7DII is still a great camera. I had mine for six years, and got thousands of great shots. Regarding cropping, it’s funny that nowadays 20MP is regarded as low. My first DSLR was the 6.3MP ...

I only use exposure bracketing when I want to combine multiple exposures for an HDR output. I find that works best with RAW in Lightroom. Likewise, I find I get much better results using an ISO ...

Very colorful, and on theme. I've put it in Exhibition.

Thanks everyone. I think I've set up the new galleries correctly, but if someone with more experience could check on that, I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

CIC 223: Autumn/Halloween Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness ( https://poets.org/poem/autumn ) and Things that go Bump in the night ( http://holyjoe.org/poetry/anonS.htm ). This is a seasonal ...

OK, I have an idea. I'll get to it in the morning.

It will also be a good time to sell used cameras. In fact, I expect used prices will rise considerably.

One of them I took a couple of weeks ago, but have only just had time to process it. The other two are focus stacks I took and processed this afternoon, taking advantage of some rare free time.

I usually shoot in servo with face + tracking, where I pick the point to initiate tracking. I find this gives good results most of the time. If the subject is at a fair distance, I might switch to ...
