Some very nice images here, and a very capable camera no doubt. Makes me want to go on safari again. Thanks for sharing. My one observation is that you need to be careful with depth of field. The ...

Are you referring to the "Open Directly" plug-in? I have started using that recently. You still have to reimport the tiffs back into Lightroom with it though. I am interested in all this because I ...

Not sure if you are holding me out as an example of someone to whom DR is not important or understood? I appreciate the benefits of being able to uncover clean shadows in post, whilst exposing to ...

Many thanks for your response. I would be interested to get your take on this article: http://dslr-astrophotography.com/iso-dslr-astrophotography/ It broadly suggests that boosting in post is ...

Interesting - thank you. I see that at ISO 1600 the 6D performs better than the 5Div according to this matrix. Also interesting that the 6Dii is worse than the 6D throughout the range (particularly ...

Thanks for your response. I have looked at your photos and you are clearly a very accomplished photographer with vastly more experience than me in particular with regard to astrophotography. And I ...

Interesting that nobody in Ireland owns a gun and nobody needs one. I'd much rather have a few extra stops of DR anyway 😉

In the use cases you are talking about I would have thought that high ISO is required and is optimal irrespective of what camera you are using. For astro photography, even at ISO 1,600 or 3,200 and ...

Why do you think IQ is better with 5D3? All I have heard is that IQ should slightly favour the 6Dii but not so much that it should be a reason on which to base your decision. Fair enough. Lots of ...

That is a seriously drool worthy piece of kit. If I didn't own a stupid amount of L glass I would be seriously tempted. I might yet investigate further. I suspect a bit of research on Nikon lenses ...

Thanks for the response. I have not spent much time trying that mode to be honest - I have been put off making the effort by numerous reports of it being unreliable. I should probably give it more ...

Hi Jim Both will work well for landscapes. One factor to bear in mind is lenses - the 6D will allow you to take full advantage of the truly wonderful 16-35 F4 IS. That lens in conjunction with the ...

Thanks for the reply Anders. It is good to have that option. Little customisation options like that rarely get much attention but can make a big difference to shooting experience. Shane

Thanks Dave. I guess it can work so long as you keep autofocus on the shutter. Bit disappointing that it cannot be used in conjunction with back button focus, though. Shane

To owners of the 6D mark ii I noticed a change in the 6Dii manual regarding the assignable function of switching from Ai Servo to One shot and vice-versa. The 6Dii manual describes that ...

I like it. The way the dead tree is curled away from the sunset tells a good story. The unconventional composition adds to the sense that the dead tree has been marginalised. I'd be inclined to ...

Maybe it looks different to Vidau's stuff because it is not Vidau?!

Were you using Ai Servo or One Shot? If spot AF isn't good for non-moving portraits then it is hard to imagine what it would be useful for...

Keeping with your analogy, would you not suspect that the total light gathered in [large state - sorry I'm not from the US ] might be greater than the total gathered in [small state]?

Thanks for the info. I see that you didn't say anything about AF noise. Have you any comments on that? Shane
