I too wear 2 pairs of glasses. Reading and distance. I’m so thankful that my OVF’s and EVF’s have always worked for me using the diopter adjustment. So no glasses needed to see clearly.  Granted, ...

There’s nothing wrong with shooting wildlife at the zoo. If nothing else, it’s great practice. But to me it’s all about the journey and trying to raise the bar when competing with myself. Sort of ...

On the other hand, Bird Eye Focus works much better when the birds aren’t wearing shades. 🤪 Seriously, I can’t wear glasses of any kind when shooting. So my green tinted shades go into my pocket ...

I agree with the other two respondents. You really can’t get there, without spending much more than you want. Or, without retaining the extra weight. 900mms of effective reach is really nice for ...

Yep, this type of photography is definitely challenging. Especially when using a heavy set up. I handhold and I’m not sure you can do better with a monopod or tripod, when the subject is right ...

Yeah, AlephNull is correct. That setting doesn’t effect IQ. Leave it at the default or change it, it has zero effect on the image size (resolution) or quality. http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/myt ...

Yes, yes, yes! One of the best wildlife cameras EVER! And the lens ain’t to shabby either 😎 This is a great set up. But it won’t take the pictures for you. Given you’ve practiced, not necessarily ...

1Dx4me, Thanks for your comments 👍 Have a great weekend and stay healthy 😷 Cavig

Hi Dave, See my reply to LarryRC above. Pretty much the same old places. Unlike you I don’t travel much. Although I did go to Tracy (Burrowing Owls) and Sebastopol (Long Tailed Weasels). And I ...

Thank you Gautam 😊 Have a wonderful weekend and stay healthy 😷 Cavig

Hi LarryRC, Thanks for your comments 👍 These we’re taken in Milpitas, CA. Some at an elementary school that has a nest out front (Curtner School). Where we were able to shoot from school grounds ...

macro user, Thanks so much for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed viewing them. Stay healthy 😷 Cavig

Thanks Mikel10, Usually those huge wings hide the head in many frames. Today’s cameras with their absurdly high frame rates really help. Hard to miss nuances like this when shooting at 20-30fps Cavig

JerseySailor, Thanks so much for the kind words. 👍 I may have a couple of these printed by Fracture (on glass). I’ve done a few 16 x 24’s in the past and they turned out very well. And yeah, the ...

Hi folks, I recently got my laptop fixed/updated so I'm finally able to post process pics again. I am in the process of trying to catch up to recent shots. I think I have about 8000 "keeper" photos ...

Which caused your photos to be badly under exposed. Noise hides in the shadows. And brightening the shadows will make this noise more visible. Try opening the lens all the way (f5.6 or wider) and ...

Yep!  What Kevin said.  And they are seldom seen around my area too. TFS and stay healthy 😷 Cavig

The king surveying his realm from on high.  Taking in the view from the top of the food chain 😜 As mentioned, very majestic 👍 Good work and TFS! Cavig

I agree with Marty above 👆   Or, another way to tell is by price point.  Advanced products are usually in the $1500-$2000 price range.  Premium bodies range from about $2000-$4500.  And Pro ...

I’d suggest using Zone or one of the Flexible Spot options. I’d also suggest watching Mark Galer’s most excellent A9 videos. Like this one : https://youtu.be/2FYU6uMDFsw Stay healthy 😷 Cavig
