The Viltrox Spark Z3 flash is now available at B&H. Here’s a review: https://dustinabbott.net/2025/09/viltrox-spark-z3-flash-review/

Yesterday I lead a group of photographers in shooting local on our Scott Kelby Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. Just about every photographer knows who Scott Kelby is as an ambassador for Adobe PS and LR, he started the Photo Walks in 2008 as a way to bring photographers within a community together to take pictures on a specified day all around the world. This is my second one to lead, we walked in a park within our community and had 20 participants. Most of those who came were also members of...

Opinion please for a lighter weight Canon, than the original R. R50 w/RF-S 55-210 F5-7.1 IS STM vs Rebel T7 w/EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM This is for my wife who want's to take good snapshots and will probably not shoot in Manual Mode and video is not a selling point.

I have a question, if anyone knows answer please tell me. When creating a mask in LRC, i usually select subject, then refine it using a + and - brush, until i am happy with the mask and all of the subject is masked. i then invert this mask to adjust everything except the subject. The issue i have is that sometimes when in invert the mask it is not the opposite of my refined mask, but is all over the place with bits missing, bits added etc. Doesn’t happen all the time but winds me up when it...

1R5 and 1R5MKii The R5 on a 600mm APO and the R5MKii with a 200-800mm lens at800mm Why is the magnification greater on the telescope?

I have had my R5 for 4 years and 6 months ago bought the RF 100-500 but for awhile my aviation just does not look sharp from other photographers that I have seen, what am I doing wrong? Should IS be switched off when over 1/2000th? It was a 108 degrees outside so am I expecting too much? 1) AF-1 photo was FL 450mm - Auto ISO400 - 1/2000th - F/7.1 - Electronic - Crop/aspect ratio 3:2 (is this the issue) - Case 4 with Eye detect sect to Vehicles - Metering Mode Evaluative Metering 2.)...

Hello, I am just setting up my R6 mkii and I'm uncertain which focusing mode to use. I typically shoot landscapes, not the grand landscapes but landscapes that I call intimate landscapes. They are a small portion of what might be a grand landscape. I also shoot natural abstracts involving trees, rocks, etc.. TheR6 mkii camera seems very complicated but I chose it for it's low-light capability. Hopefully someone can suggest a focusing mode that will give me the best coverage for my type of...

Has anyone tried to ream out an ext. tube to make a 1.4 or 2x extender fit so the 100-500 mm could be dialed back to 100? If so what were the results? I have read that it could not be done because the contact traces were exposed before the opening was large enough for the extender to fit.

I was not sure where to place this thread. Version 26 as Apple is now going by year. I updated both my Mac Mini M4 and MacBook Air M3 and all is fine. I knew my 2019 iMac Intel would not get it but I'm only using it as a monitor. The 2019 Mac Pro will get it but no Apple intelligence (whatever that is) I don't think. One benefit. Tahoe is easier to spell :) Warning. There is a short ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXpuPgO5-tY

Canon can and will do what they want wether we agree or not. Im happy in the system got what I want good for 10 years or till death do us part. Scroll up goes straight to comments not sure why https://fstoppers.com/business/genius-canons-rf-mount-lens-lockdown-711104#comment-thread

I had some spare time today and wandered down to my local wildlife watering hole (aka the 'suburban water retention pond'). After a vast expenditure of photons and electrons, I have a few pics that I deemed 'worthy' of processing and potential sharing with family, friends and community. Most of my pics basically really 'suck' for all of the reasons we all experience. Out of focus. Too much noise. Can't be cropped properly. It just isn't 'right'. And so on... So. My question is...

I’m just wondering how people determine their settings when they’re doing focus stacking. I’m sure it depends on what lens and what have stop etc. etc..

Android phone: is there a way to import on phone photos in RAW format instead of JPG using Camera Connect?

I am considering upgrading from my EOS R to a R6MkII and am interested in any thoughts from those of you that have either owned or used both. I really like my R, but wish to have better AF capabilities. I am also interested in image quality comparisons, and especially would be very interested if anyone did an comparisons between the two cameras where raw files of the same subject were created with the same lens. Other than that, any opinions would definitely be welcome and appreciated...

An extension of the PL9 thread. I've really have not figured out if upscaling or cropping is better for wildlife. This is strictly for web presentation. LrC now also offers Super Resolution. I tried it once but I'm still at an impasse between cropping and upscaling. Since I paid for Topaz Gigapixel I can re-install it. I think I tried it once. I only purchased it so I could get Photo AI v1 for free. Do I have lifetime updates for Giga? I know Topaz dropped lifetime updates for Sharpen and...

Bonjour à tous, Je souhaiterais avoir votre avis, je souhaiterais acheter un objectif 70-200 / 2.8 pour mon R6 Mark II. J’hésite entre le Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM et le Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM mais malheureusement les prix ne sont pas les mêmes. j’ai la bague d'adaptation pour objectif EF vers appareil EOS R Avant de faire cet achat je souhaiterais avoir un retour d’expérience de votre part. Bien Cordialement Joao
