I'm sure someone can calculate how far apart those sources must be to achieve the proper effect. And it will change depending on apogee or perigee.

@4Photos if they are good, they calculated the position of the sun (Elevation, azimuth) in relation to that point on the moon at the exact time the "image" was acquired. Couple that with a...

I suppose one could take several 0.25m objects that look similar, and place them at a distance. Then, on a clear day, take your m43 camera with, say, the lightest lens you can find around...

I'm guessing "zoom by pixel" aka digital zooming. At least there is only a couple dozen miles of atmospheric aberrations to deal with when shooting from directly overhead, and it's getting thinner...

As primarily a stills shooter, I would forego PDAF on a new camera if it meant I could get 8k shooting modes as well as actual "in-camera" image stacking. Yes, I know we could technically have...

I suspect they are leaning toward PDAF mostly to bolster their video side.

They have probably also realized that they are fighting against myth and marketing with regard to DFD performance. That...

First, create a backup or several copies!

Use a utility, such as Bulk Rename Utility to give some meaning to file names. If you like it, make copies of those, but always keep an original...

Phones have definitely replaced most P&S cameras, except for maybe the likes of Nikon P1000 😀

I'd say, for 98% of my shooting, a modern smartphone gets it done. For the other 2%, still can't...

How will we know if pictures are real? :)

When can we get a medium format camera with the processing power of a modern smartphone? Other than what the three-letter agencies are using, that is.... ;)

Montana has mountains of oysters!

IIRC, you can set most Panasonic cameras to manual focus, turn the camera off and then back on, and focus will be automatically set to infinity.

More, please!

I've been using Panasonic since the FZ20 (still have that one!), also have an FZ200, a GX7 and a G85. As for lenses, have the 25/1.4, 20/1.7, 14-40mm, 12-60mm, 45-175mm and 100-400mm.

I'll buy my...

That Carina Nebula looks like it might be close to Asgard. 😉

In the scientific world, we like to say natural colors are basically eye candy for the masses. NIR color provides much more information for research purposes.

Only if you buy phones that don't have microSD slots. Without a microSD card, phone mfrs are free to bend you over the barrel and charge an extra $200 per 128gb of internal memory.

Now, if only Samsung would make a super zoom bridge camera with this sensor (and associated tech, computational algorithms and processing power). I would finally give up my Panny FZ200...

In...

I like it. It provides options. Shoot a scene with sharp contrast, then add a filter or two to get a totally different effect.

The soft filters are great for shots posted in a relaxing setting. ...

Like bikinis, you pay more for less.

I just say "Graphics Interchange Format". Yeah, it takes a little longer to say, but I am blessed to have the energy to do so.

BTW, I think GSW takes more effort to say than "Gunshot...
