This software could be useful for me, removing my own watermarks before uploading to Getty Images. It looks like it'd be quicker than reprocessing the file without a watermark; however, the...

How do you know your "viewing size?" I never know which images I will print as I take them. I post my work on Flickr, FB, Instagram and consider that only the beginning of the life span of my images. ...

Sounds like a fantastic rig for the usage that you describe. In 2017 I moved from Canon to Sony due to the superiority of the a9's Tracking AF for birds-in-flight. I've never regretted the move. ...

Around here it'd be a male house finch.

Who uses a lens like this without a teleconverter sometimes? On an a1, the AF performance of all the others fails in comparison. The Sony 200-600mm can't match the IQ, even with the 1.4x TC on the ...

This image has DxO PhotoLab DeepPrimeXD applied. If I print I'll run it through Topaz NR and Sharpening. DxO does the best with global NR, but Topaz is better at masking the subject and not ...

You remind me of my fortuitous introduction to photography at 11-years old.  In 7th grade "Graphic Arts" class we constructed our pen-hole cameras, loaded them in the darkroom, took pictures of ...

NO

That's still pretty amazing. I did MF in the '60s and '70s, then all my Pentax gear was stolen and I went to point and shoot for a few decades, Bought my first digital camera in 2007 and took a ...

Danny, I'm truly amazed at your ability to MF BIF with super-telephoto lenses. My keeper rate would be so low that I'd probably give up BIF photography if that were my only choice. BTW, what is ...

No one said that "you can't get good shots at 10fps with a 600GM. You might try FastRawViewer to cull your files. It speeds the process very considerably.

Talk about ridiculous! We're talking about the SONY  a1 and and the a7rV here, not Canon. BTW, I'm sure that your buddy's dslr is shooting with a mechanical shutter with no rolling-shutter distortion.

20 or 30-fps will yield more keepers when shooting BIF, no debate possible. Neither of these bodies will track a BIF 100% accurately. Also, you'll get shots that you won't get at slower fps. The ...

Show us one or two 600mm MF BIF shots please. Your skills must be incredible.

The V's poor rolling-shutter performance disqualifies it for serious BIF shooting. The mechanical shutter is too slow for BIF usage. However, for the very occasional BIF shooter it can do in a ...

This is the first lens that I bought in 2017, when I moved from Canon to Sony with the purchase of an a9. The lens is wonderful in many situations, with great IQ on versatility. It's great for ...

Ye, you're being over protective. I change the lens when I need to. Shooting two a1s since early 2021. NEVER had to clean the sensor on either.

View at 100% and you'll see that the eye is OOF in the fourth one. Not unusual for the a1 to slip off the bird-eye here and there. To freeze the wings, try 1/4000-sec. I prefer some wing blur, but ...

I don['t see a problem. I've been using Sony OSS lenses since 2017 and never even thought about this. The switch on the lens is quick and easy to find and change.

I use the switch on the lens with no issues.
