Good light, good shutter speed, good aperture.......good image!

It's a feature handed down from the 1D range, my 1DsII has the scale to the right, but that has a bigger viewfinder, I think the problem is that Canon have shoehorned the full frame display into ...

Heat haze. I also use this lens on the 7DII, I try not to shoot beyond 500mm as I find the quality drops off above that and I'd also recommend using an aperture of f8 and accepting a higher iso. ...

I have the Sigma 150-600 with the 7DII and have used the combo for about a year now, I find it performs well in bright well lit conditions but struggles to give good quality when the subject is ...

One of the very best wildlife photographers here in the UK lives by the maxim of getting a sharp image first and worry about noise later if at all. I guess many of us have grown up with the first ...

I'd get the 3 stop hard grad from Lee. I use the 3 stop more than any other even though I own the set. There are just some occasions when blending multiple exposures can be difficult and you want ...

You're using an f5.6 lens in very low light, which is really stretching the capabilities given that af happens at the largest aperture of the lens. Get some good light on the subject with a bright ...

Just updated the firmware and it does indeed seem to be noticeably quicker.

I use it on my A7r with a metabones IV, though to be fair as it's a fully manual lens in focus and aperture, i'm not sure I'd spend the cash on a metabones if I was using just this lens. The A7 ...

Both the umbrella and softbox will soak up photons, bare flash at maximum power is the best you have.

I'd love to see a 2 and a half second exposure that's hand held?

To be fair, you've said you've always wanted to get Full frame and in body stabilisation, so forget about the 6300, it hasn't got what you want. The 6300 looks impressive for a small apsc body but ...

I tend to agree, why pay £2500 for an A7rII  and then put inferior glass on it? Good glass for that camera will cost a lot, so to compare it with a system that's  around half the price and less ...

It's the lens, any tree branches, grass etc in the oof background will look rough, the sigma 150-600 is the same.

As you've already got a 24mm, I'd  suggest the Samyang 14 mm 2.8. Very good value.

I agree, I've had one of these for years and now use it on the A7r with metabones IV, gives the shallow dof at f2 and gets very sharp at f4, combine it with in body stabilisation and you've got a ...

Lucky you, We certainly wouldn't get those speeds here, I've tried a few other random sites at the same time and they come up straight away so it points to that site being slower than the average ...

Worth getting in some practice before the event, and I agree that keeping it very simple is key. Things never go to plan particularly when people are concerned, have a look at Neil Van Niekirk on ...

I use manual mode, and a tripod. My priority becomes the aperture for depth of field, I want base iso for quality, the tripod takes care of shutter speed which gets longer as the light fades. I use ...
