Few landscape shots

So, what are your favorite sources of photographic information and entertainment? Very Obviously, our own Tim Mayo’s RF Shooters and Alpha Shooters top the list! (y) :cool: 🎉 But being the hardware-agnostic heathen that I am (Canon, Sony, Nikon AND Fuji), I hang out at several other sites as well… So here’s my list… KenRockwell (very biased towards Canon, but LOTS of good reviews and other information!)

So, as a Christmas present to myself this year I fell whilst hiking and completely destroyed my right arm. Which is my dominant arm. It looks like I am going to need a shoulder replacement. This means no photography and editing is very limited since I have to use my left hand. Has anybody had experience with the tour box for Light Room Classic that I've been seeing advertised all over the place I'm wondering whether I can use that to work a bit on Lightroom and at least feel like I'm doing...

If you need a new CFexpress Type B card then Amazon UK has an offer on for the Lexar Professional SILVER Series 256GB CFexpress Card, Type B. It's currently priced at only £83.28 at Amazon.co.uk (affiliate link). I'm guessing this is old stock as most other online retailers are now selling this for around £175.00 It is a limited offer with 30% already claimed, so I'm not expecting it to last very long. With the way memory card prices are going I wouldn't be surprised if this card costs...

I am seeking advice from all the gurus out there for the following. Recommendation for one easy to carry, easy to open camera bag, to carry R7 with attached Canon RF 100 - 400 lens f5.6 - 8 IS USM and R6 Mk 2 with attached Canon RF S 18 - 150mm f3.5 6.3 IS STM LENS Ideally, I would like to be able to access one or the other without having to repack the bag. I do not want a back pack Please and thank you

I've found over the years that with the sun at 90 degrees to the right or left of the target ends up with a soft image. This shot is a good example. at 1/8000th the image should be tack sharp, but instead it's soft. The image display shows the camera was locked onto the bird, but the eye tracking did not lock on, although if was on... Any suggestions would be helpful. I first found this problem with my 5D Mk II and Mk IV. Thanks in advance!! Bryan

After just over a year happily using Sigma's RF-S 18-50mm f/2.8 on my R7, I traded it in on Sigma's new RF-S 17-40mm f/1.8 Art in August. Yes, it's more expensive, bigger, and heavier, but wow! (It's about an inch longer and a bit less than 1/4 pound heavier than Canon's RF 85 f/2 and 28-70 f/2.8 lenses.) Sharp at f/1.8, it's a stop and a third faster than the f/2.8 full-frame standard zooms, more than overcoming APS-C's one-stop low-light and bokeh handicaps - which is why I've given it...

I've had my new R6 III camera for a couple of weeks now and can't work out why during a shoot about one in three videos that look like they are recording properly have 0 bytes and only a thumbnail when I take a look at the CFexpress card or download them to the computer. This seems to be a random failure and as my shoots are not repeatable I can't go back to re-shoot them. I've updated the firmware to 1.0.2 but that has not fixed the problem. The card is a 512GB Lexar Professional...

If you are planning to buy memory cards, SSD drives, laptops, mobile phones or anything at all that contains DRAM or NAND memory then the time to do so is either today or preferably yesterday. Prices are really starting to shoot up much more than I think anyone was anticipating. I received some updated price lists from card suppliers just before Christmas and their prices are up over 50% on last months prices. Transcend has apparently not received any new NAND Flash shipments from their...

Going though MacBook and deleting photos and quite a few duplicates in various folders etc Time consuming guess theres a programme that searches for duplicates and removes one clik method but maybe not And some edited saved photos are in a few folders as well. Presume nobody else on here has a jumble like this

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with my Canon R6 Mark II. After I turn off the camera, the lenses (RF 24-70mm f/2.8 and RF 100mm f/2.8) continue making sounds and adjustments for a short period, even though the camera is switched off. The LED light on the camera also occasionally flickers after turning it off. This used to happen just once with a quick flicker, and then everything would be quiet, but now it keeps happening more frequently. I’ve already checked the latest firmware...

24th here we start today. Merry xmas to the ragtag bunch on here worldwide, enjoy photos tips engagement and friendship.

Has anyone edited files with both bodies? Do the girls edit similarly? Color science, noise, etc?

This is probably a well worn question, but maybe asked in a different way. A year ago I bought a R10, with the 18-45 kit lens, my first "proper" camera after years of point-and-shoot. It took a while to get the hang of aperture, exposure, and ISO, and how they inter-connect with each other. I've had a couple of UK holidays, took some decent photos, oversharpened them, and learnt a lesson. I got some OK autumn colour photos late in the year, a few of them posted on the forum, and even got my...

Question about the new R6 Mk III With the new 32.5mp sensor, I'm assuming that the Mk III has a crop function like the original R6 and R6 mk II did. What's the size of the internally 1.6x crop on the Mk III? The R6 mk II is like 9mp, iirc, right? So the Mk III should be a good bit higher res than that.

The Nikkei Industry Map 2026 has revealed the 2024 camera market share by units for each manufacturer. Canon: 3.53 million units (43.2%) Sony: 2.33 million units (28.5%) Nikon: 960,000 units (11.7%) Fujifilm: 740,000 units (9.0%) Panasonic: 280,000 units (3.4%) OM Digital: 160,000 units (1.9%) Ricoh Imaging: 70,000 units (0.8%) Ricoh is Pentax isnt it?

I'll keep looking, but the manual doesn't really say much about this except, "Note: You can record movies by pressing the movie shooting button during still photo shooting." Can anyone add some value here? I assume it will shoot video according to whatever video settings are set if I flip the switch to video, right? Who does this, and what else is there to know about it? Will still mode and video mode get into autofocus fights or something? :) What happens to the aperture? My wife is going...

I've just finished testing 50 memory cards in the R6 III, 23 CFexpress Type B and 27 UHS-II SD cards. The R6 III isn't writing to the CFexpress slot much faster than around 505 MB/s. So because the vast majority of CFexpress Type B cards can sustain this speed and more, they mostly perform the same in-camera. There were only three cards that dropped below these speeds, which increased the buffer clearing times. There is definitely no in-camera benefit to using the newer CFexpress 4.0...

I made the mistake of clicking on an InstaGram ad for Tiffen Black Soft Glow Filters. After doing a bit of searching for reviews, I see they are on sale at B&H. So my question is - are they worth it? If so, what strength(s) would you suggest? 🤔
