Love this photo. My older brother had a red one with the 318 ci engine. It was an amazing vehicle. I think it was Motor Trend’s Car of the Year for 1965.

I know this post is reviving an old thread but it seems appropriate since my search for ibird produced this single thread. Years ago I purchased the iBird Pro app for my iPad and another purchase for my iPhone … around $20 each. It has been quite a while since I tried opening it but this morning I did … only to find that it appears to now require a monthly paid subscription. Can anyone confirm this or am I missing something?

Yesterday there was a herd across the road from the golf course in Estes Park. (Near the Safeway)

I’ve been blessed with the ability to own about 30 bodies and 60 lenses over the past 18 years. I used mainly Canon for many years before switching to Sony Mirrorless. I still have some Canon gear DSLR gear.
I have been drooling for Sony to come out with a lens like the Canon RF 28-70 f/2L. It’s not cheap though. If you can afford it, it’s worth researching.

Not a specific idea but sensor/algorithm issue.
My godson is from Micronesia so relatively dark skin. I had a canon camera that without fail would render his face a pale disc each and every time. The camera always had the correct skin tone for the rest of him. A few years ago one of the computer companies had an issue with laptop web cams that could not
render people of African heritage correctly or sometimes not at all.


WOW, that’s another weird camera issue - and even more disturbing!

Do any of you have an explanation?
I’ve photographed the paintings of several artists for them to use digital images of their work for prints, websites, and book publishing.
I had a job a few years ago when I encountered a situation that I still don’t understand. This was on two of the paintings. Both of them were of deer and the antlers were painted in gold as the last paint added. These gold painted antlers were clearly visible both to the naked eye and on phone photos. However, when I photographed these with my Sony a7Riii, my camera ignored that paint and picked up the underlying paint color. I think the paint was some kind of translucent paint.
I’ve cropped the original photo in the two attachments to protect the artists creative work.

In the early 1960s, my grandmother gave me this 1865 two-cent coin that her father gave to her.

I beg to differ. I believe that mine is a juvenile Cooper's.


Your bird, your call 👍🏽😄

By the way, I for one (among many others) sure enjoy the frequent humor you post.

The only other hawks we get around here are the red shouldered hawk which are a lot bigger. This one that KI shot I believe is a youngster and not full developed. Thanks for the comments and yes send me a photo of yours.


My guess is that your hawk photo is of a red shouldered hawk. We have a lot of those around my house here in San Antonio too. It’s hard to know for sure if yours is without seeing the topside of his wings to show the reddish portion. The chest of both the RSH and the Cooper’s look the same … at least to me.

Here’s the Cooper’s Hawk I got a few weeks ago.

Very nice! I love seeing birds of prey. You captured its regal, stoic look. It posed nicely for you.

One point though … and not meant as a criticism in any way. This doesn’t look like a Cooper’s Hawk to me. It has the speckled wing feathers instead of the Cooper’s Hawk’s more solid coloring. Also, it’s missing the extra-long tail feathers of a Cooper’s Hawk. If you (bcheary) like, I can post a photo of a Cooper’s Hawk I came across on a recent hike near my house.

This is great advice. These are two of my favorite cameras. I have three a7Riii bodies and recently traded in my a7Riv for the a7Rv, despite the financial hit. I never fell in love with the iv but quickly did with the v. Also, I bought the Kindle version of Friedman’s book for the v. It is really good. So, reading Desert Gecko’s post really rang true for me.

(Note: I do write this realizing how blessed I am with not rich but well-off resources, unavailable to many. I do remember those days of necessary restraint.)

Using an a7Rv guide would probably not be helpful and might confuse more than anything. I recommend two things: Downloading the "Help Guide" from Sony's website and purchasing Gary Friedman's camera-specific book. I think they run around $30 and are available on Amazon and on the Friedman Archives website. His books cover everything, and for most settings he explains when, how and why we might use them, plus his preference.

I'll add that aside from Friedman's casual and personal style, his books really don't have anything that the Help Guide doesn't -- but the Help Guide explains camera operation in a sterile, no-nonsense technical style. Oh, and the Help Guide has much more than other Sony documents, much more than the User Guide. If I recall correctly, the User Guide even refers us to the Help Guide for certain topics, generally advanced settings.

The link to a downloadable Help Guide can be tricky to find, so I grabbed it for you: https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/print.pdf

BTW how are you liking the a7Rv? I'm about to upgrade from the a7Riii and am torn between a used (but mint condition with warranty) a7Riv and a new a7Rv. I just can't decide whether the a7Rv is worth $1600 more than the a7Riv. The fully articulating screen and in-camera focus stacking are for me the most compelling reasons for choosing the newer camera, but I don't think that's enough to justify the expense.

I’ve used it many times. You do get an immediate credit equivalent to the amount of tax. Tax is paid but you do get credit for the amount of that tax.

My only issue is that I don’t seem to get timely notice or statements, either paper or email, of when my payment is due. Fortunately, I have logged onto my account before the due date and paid online, thus avoiding penalties.
