Try asking in the retouching forum. I just searched "Photoscape" there and got some results.

If I think my subjects will be beyond 3m, which they usually are, I set the lens switch to the 3m-infininty mark, the autofocus is better. Also, I almost always use one point AF. Pump the focus ...

I don't know how far away your birds were, but perhaps you don't need the focus limit switch set to full.

Good point, they might still be hidden on the card. How about getting a starting place for a file name search by looking at a photo file taken before the holiday. Then estimate a holiday file number?

If that's the case, search your computer for an image file number. Take a picture now and look at the file number. Search for a file number that would fall into that group of holiday photos.

Especially with the OP's  80D.

Like I said previously, I use the same combo. I find them to be sharp enough for me. This was a tripod mounted shot. I thought beforehand of using live view to focus but ended up using single point ...

Very Nice!

New Hampshire, "The Granite State", looks pretty good.

You're not missing all that much.

I'm here in the NE and hear it often on the radio.

I have foam pipe insulation taped to the upper segments of the legs and just sling it over my shoulders.

Thanks. As just a hobbyist on a pension, this combination of gear provides images good enough for me (so far), way beyond anything I could have done with what I had in the mid 70's.

Your shot looks good to me. A white subject is tough. I also have the 80D + 100-400 v2 and the Canon 1.4 v3. What others said, you lose light so have to jack up the ISO to get a decent SS. I just ...

Thank you.

Thanks Cynthia, A friend painted this from the photo.

I also use my camera quite a bit without the strap. I like how the OpTech connectors serve an additional purpose of a useful handle when not connected to the strap. Yeah, ease of disconnect is ...

When I've tried my rig without holster, the points where the connectors attach to the sling don't facilitate swinging. They don't slide up and down the strap. It doesn't swing any more than the ...

I see that now, never ran into that issue. I never tried it on the right shoulder because being right handed, I prefer the camera to be by my right hand. I use these loop connectors on 2 bodies ...

I never tried it with just one attachment point, don't think I'd like it that way. I like that the neoprene shoulder part stays in place without slipping and sliding. The camera connectors easily ...
