Sunflower Reflected From Our Pool
May 22, 2023 23:10:00 #
Yesterday I noticed the sunflower's image in the water when I looked out the back door so I took a few shots.
Then I processed the heck out of it, clarity, tones, saturation, contrast, vibrance etc. etc. and cropped, it was shot in landscape mode.
Create 52 on FaceBook the theme this week is reflections.
The second shot is the sunflower itself, about 6-7 inches and a really nice one.
Then a 2 shot stack showing the entire scene out the back door. While 1 & 2 were with an R7 and 150-600; this one is with an RP and 100-500L done just now.
This shows that the white ??? in upper right is light reflecting off a hummingbird feeder, the vertical white aras are the beams of the old swing set and the horizontal blue is the tiles around the edge of the pool and the dark masses are leaves and vegetation.
Doing these shots has reinforced my sad conclusion that the R series mirroless cameras suck for me when shooting on bright sunny days. Great Cameras, and great images but:
1. can't see the image on the rear screen at all
2. with my glasses light gets in through the view finder and washes out that image also = I have to frame and shoot by guess and by golly, trusting that the AF latched onto the right thing and did its job.
3. I often use my camera with tele as a spotting scope; dslr no problem, mirrorless you have to keep the screen(s) turned on and use battery power to do this.
I will be keeping my 7DII and 5DIV, the 80D and 90D are still questions. Of course I keep almost all my EF lenses since I have two EF to RF adaptors for my two R bodies.
