For practical applications I find the RX10 IV's closest focus distance at maximum zoom very useful. At one stage I did a comparison between magnification at minimum zoom (where you can get very ...

Gorgeous!!

Fantastic images!

Very much like the Heron! Well done.

Maybe I can qualify for the highly prized DM? FROZEN rain in town? Exhibit :-)

And coincidentally FWIW: this morning I took some shots of a Great Blue Heron coming in for a landing against a "busy" background. Note that the light was OK but definitely less than ideal. The ...

Tim, I think you will likely find people just about equally split on the tracking vs not tracking debate. I personally do not use tracking. Might I get as good or better results WITH tracking? I ...

I have never used the Mk III, only the Mk IV but the general consensus is that the Mk IV is way, way better in terms of AF. I have never really had the issue you mentioned with my Mk IV. Using ...

This has always been my concern with Expand Flexible Spot. I have never understood the attraction of this mode as it takes away control from the operator. I have never seen any point whatsoever in ...

Beautiful: I love Ospreys.

Wow, that is close!!!! Looks like he likes spicy food....

A few exhibits: Parasailing on Okanagan Lake, BC: And getting dunked... Before getting pulled up again Jet ski, Okanagan Lake When the Covid restriction on travel between different health regions ...

I think these look great: very well done!

This I think is key and again emphasises the importance of using and really paying attention to Live View. While using M you HAVE to be wary of the camera running out of ISO range (either too ...

Ellie, I am really rooting for you. Good luck with the simple approach and building on that. I truly hope it works out for you. As further encouragement: a few shots from our townhouse complex ...

Thank you very much for your very generous words David. Coming from someone with your known high standards, this is greatly appreciated.

Indeed, that is why, if you read my post, I said "In this case you had S mode, the aperture ring on F4 and ISO on 400 " Indeed, it is essentially ignored. Again, that is why in my post I wrote that ...

As mentioned in my response to Ellie just now: from the behaviour of the camera, one can infer certain things in terms of the logic/algorithms Sony uses under certain circumstances and you can ...

Ellie As other have since mentioned, Sony uses certain exposure algorithms with different Mode settings. I should have been more clear here. With Shutter speed Mode, the only guaranteed fixed ...

Guys, just a gentle reminder: to my mind, first prize will always be to AVOID noise through proper exposure. For me, removing noise after the event will always be a second, much less desirable ...
