I talked with someone at the Olympus Photokina booth this morning and they also confirmed "No handheld hi-res". As a "work in progress" I asked if it might show up on the M1ii in a SW update and ...

I'd like to see a 200mm f1.4 that is about the size and weight of a pancake lens and as sharp as the Oly 75mm. Don't suppose. Actually I'm pretty happy with what I have now. But I would like to get ...

I have an Acratech GPS tripod head. When in portrait mode it operates as a gimbal which is great for panoramas. I do the HDR first using Photomatix. I tested doing the stitching first and it didn't ...

Actually, I have "faked it" as well. But not on the Full Moon-Jasper print. I try to keep the pasted moon about the same size as the original in the mountain shot. There is often a glow around the ...

I should have mentioned that I used a 75mm lens for my Full Moon-Jasper shots. I used a micro-4/3 camera, so this lens has equivalent coverage as a 150mm on a full frame camera.

The longest lens you have. Otherwise the moon is a little dot. TRIPOD!!! HDR if possible. There will be no mountains except a black outline unless you use HDR. Or else the moon will just be burned ...

RMNP is not known to be a great aspen color location, but there are pockets. The peak is usually between the last week in September and the first week of October. If you are planning your trip in ...

We, us pano folks, have all been there. The only true way to make a pano like this work is to get out the focal point brackets and tripod. I have one of a mining trestle in SW Colorado that took ...

I'm not the OP, but do a LOT of pans. I use ICE for most of my stitching. It is free from Microsoft but doesn't run on Apple, for obvious reasons. For some particularly difficult stitches I use ...

I'm a pano guy (see my site listed below). And this is an image you should be very proud of. I could say "not bad for a first panorama". Only I predict that you will be proud of this image years ...

Very nice. I have tried to take shots like this and rarely been happy with my results. Most recently in a lighthouse. You did well. Here is my stairway to heaven, taken in Lake Louise, Canada this ...

I have a Sirui T1205X tripod and like it very much. The legs fold backwards so it is short when packed. Here is a link to the company page: http://en.sirui-photo.com/productshow.php?productid=74

I have used my 75mm with my extension tube and liked the results.

Great resolution. Very nice. The Olympus 75mm isn't bad either (on a GH3). Of course the moon is smaller. :-)

I carry my camera and 4 lenses (one on camera) plus other accessories in this: https://www.thinktankphoto.com/collections/retrospective-series/products/retrospective-5?variant=1237470007 It doesn't ...

Yes, it is supposed to be this way. "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

How strong are you? Here is a solution, but it isn't light (3.2 lbs. and more if you get a solar panel). I have one of their larger battery packs to use my computer at a cabin that has limited ...

I can't help with comparison of images; I don't own the Summicron. But I tried the Summicron and the Summarit f2.5 on my Monochrom at Photokina in 2014. The new Summarit had just been announced. ...

I think you are saying if Lightroom 5 reads in the DNG file from my camera everything is fine. There is nothing in version 6 that will "more properly" read in the file? If so, all is good. I do ...

Yes. It opens. I just don't know if it is properly reading the file since Adobe says version 6 is required. No, I don't have the converter. I don't know what profiles. I am just wondering why Adobe ...
