The hobby has grown enough that I’m getting jobs on the regular, ie turning into a real baby whisperer. All the Moms are talking and I’m the topic so I figured I better make it legitimate. Introducing: Profiles & Light Photography www.profilesandlight.com I figure it’ll be easy enough for this to cover a vacation and some L glass every year. I’m not posting as self promotion as I think a lot of members are international, but I’m pretty proud. Happy to receive any feedback on the site...

I primarily shoot wildlife, and over the years, I’ve changed my shooting approach multiple times. Initially, I shot in manual mode, but I eventually transitioned to Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority. In both modes, I decided to leave ISO on Auto. This configuration allows me to focus on other aspects of photography, such as composition and white balance. At first, I set the maximum ISO to 1600. Over time, I gradually increased it to 3200 and eventually to 6400. These changes didn’t...

Bonsoir a tous, Je me promene beaucoup dans Paris avec mon RF 6 Mark ii et un objectif EF 27- 70 2.8 avec la bague d adaptation RF, je trouve que c'est tres lourd pour se promenade. Je souhaiterais faire l'achat d'une focale fixe j'hesite en un 50 mm et un 35 mm. Que me conseiller vous? Merci pour vos conseilles Bonne soirée de Paris

I'm not much of a nostalgia person, but I just started my 2025 folder and it made me wonder what I thought was THE photo from last year. I think it was this one, from last February - which sort of means I was wasting my time the rest of the year. :p I asked myself what was the WORST one, too but then I realized all the truly awful ones went in the bit bucket...so I looked through for the biggest disappointment. There were a bunch that made me ask myself "Why does this exist?" but I...

I want to get one of the RF extender units to use with my RF100-500 lens. Will mainly be used for solar and lunar photography. I doubt I would use it for much else. But with my R6 mkII, which do you think would be best? The 1.4x would give 700mm plus the 1.6 crop would effectively be up to 1,120mm. Or the 2x would give 1,000mm plus the 1.6 crop would give 1,600mm. But losing the 1 vs 2 stops of light, for solar eclipses I don’t think it would matter. For lunar photography, would the 2x...

I have been thinking about getting a Sigma 150-600 C to paired with my R6. Anyone using this combination? I’m worry about AF performance considering that the primary use will be bird photography.

Probably great for serious pro photographers with thousands of images a day https://www.chargerlab.com/first-and-fastest-review-of-zikedrive-usb4-ssd-enclosure/

Received this from Canon USA this morning. Not an issue for me, but may be for some. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/canon-product-advisories/Corrupted-images-captured-with-EOS-R5-Mark-II-and-certain-SanDisk-SD-cards Not much information at the link - it's essentially a note letting you know that certain cards can result in corrupt images, so don't use them (Doc, it hurts when I do this. - Then don't do that!).

I'm just glad this JPG file isn't any bigger. Lightroom was having a FIT on my poor OLD laptop.

I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for good online tutorials that would help me learn more about video. Of course, I’m interested in learning more about the video features of my R5, but also just understanding the different codexes and settings et cetera. So does anybody have any good recommendations for Tutorials to up my game in the video realm?

What have I turned on accidentally for life of me can’t find it. Or maybe it’s always there I always look through eye piece. It doesn’t show then. Two brackets?

Last few days I have had this really strange 'urge'. . . . HELP I have no idea where it came from, but I woke up and searched on-line and now ads for it are popping up everywhere - it's not even a motorsport set up so WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME????? can I just blame it on the flu / fever and hope the urge goes away

Hi—I am trying to understand the odyssey that involves the new Canon EOS R5 II’s autofocus functions. Is it possible for anyone to “translate” this entry (especially the highlighted text). What is meant by “any other setting box other than [AF area] whole area tracking off [key icon]”? and I do not see how you choose this.

with my R5 using firmware 2.1.0 When I put the camera in Focus bracketing mode it disables high speed drive mode and defaults to single shot or self timer. However, it still shoots the entire sequence. Which is contrary to what I have been reading. Is this a bug or is it operating properly? what I have read says if you don't set your drive mode to continuous high speed that it will require you to push the shutter for every shot of the focus stack. Maybe that is for Firmware 1.8.1, and fixed...

Happy New Year everyone 🥳 I sincerely hope that 2025 is filled with good health, happiness and lots of photos tied to great memories. Have you made any photographic goals for this year or planned any photo holidays? My life is so busy right now with family and work that my only desire is to try and take a little more time for myself with my camera, preferably snapping some beautiful wildlife. Let’s see how that goes!

Testing the RF 2X TC on the RF 100-300 f/2.8 I am amazed. appears to be no noticeable IQ degradation. So this lens with TCs is 100-300 f/2.8, 140-420 f/4, and 200-600 f/5.6.

When i bought my R6M2 it was the bundle with the RF 24-105 F4-7.1 lens. I'm happy with the lens and have taken some great photo's with it. But I've seen photo's that are taken with 24-105 F4L and i think they look amazing. Now i am thinking about trading in my F4-7.1 and getting the F4L What do you guys advice i should do?

Shipped from B&H Friday. Now I'll need to find a bigger camera bag!

Daughter said you need anything from camera store. Oh not really although ask the guys they know me see if you can find something sub $100 if ya want. Err unwrapped present a $400 backpack on special down to $300 32 litre. Sort of a "travel" one Tenba.
