Unsharp can be from inaccurate focusing or shake - sometimes its hard to tell which. First - if your camera has a "Aperture Drive in AF" setting - make sure its set to Standard. Otherwise this can ...

I shoot mostly manual with my A1 , but have a custom button with spot focus and a lower shutter speed and ISO - however with birds backlit against a bright ski - I sometimes wish I could dial in ...

Here's a link that will explain why you might want 32GB on the newer mac's https://www.macrumors.com/guide/16gb-vs-32gb-macbook-pro/ Ive been using 32GB on my M1 Max 16in MBP (its the minimum on ...

We had fairly gloomy overcast light at the Marsh this Sunday morning - but as it hadn't started raining we decided to give it a try. With the lower light I decided to take the 100-400GM The fly ...

Is this a recent change - when I last tried to use this with my A1 the browse made the stabilization worse.  Sony support told me that Browse statbilization and Active stabilization on the A1 were ...

Thanks - thats good to hear - I met a Sony shooter on the trail last week that said he felt it made focus accuracy for BIF worse - I had installed it last Saturday and still questioning if some of ...

I have the 100-400 GM and the 200-600 and shoot with the A1 and the A7R4. If I had to keep just one, it would be the 100-400. Especially for travel. You can always get a 1.4 TC in the cases you ...

The Irvine Marsh is a coastal bird preserve with a variety of environments. Located along the southern California coast, It is in the migratory pathway for many birds - so we get the usual ...

A side question - i note you are using the 200-600 with the A1.  Have you updated the Lens Firmware to version 2 - and did you notice any difference with it when shooting BIF? Glenn

I have these same three lenses in my Sony travel bag along with my 100-400 GM. Sometimes I would consider swapping the 24 1.4 for the 35 1.4.

Nice work ...Fantastic Light and variety...

It rained heavily again this Saturday , but on Sunday morning the sky cleared for a few hours so we took off to the Irvine marsh. As with last week there was a lot of activity. And although the ...

Thanks - I use both Topaz Sharpen and Denoise - and yes the denoise in the sharpen is usually adequate.  Occaisionally - especially with Birds in Flight shots, I'll use the Denoise first, before ...

For 12,800 these cleaned up very nice - are you using Topaz denoise or something else?

Thanks Danny - waxwings are seasonal - and arrive only during the ripening of the red berries.  One thing Ive been trying to catch is the intense red wingtips that they sometimes exhibit - only ...

After a period of wet, we have a pick up in the insect population, and this did not go unnoticed by the fly catchers and other varieties that feed on them. The migrating Cedar Waxwings were still ...

In December and January the sun sets over Avalon as viewed from the Newport Beach California Coast. While it was overcast at sunset, the sun lit up Avalon as it passed under the horizon. Here's a ...
