At North Park, near Pittsburgh, PA
Lugging my Canon 100-400, EOS R, tripod, etc.

I've been trying for a long while to get a shot of one of these guys.
Yesterday, after receiving my new Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L is II, he just popped up at the birdfeeder and posed for me.
Must be the lens. 😁

This is the startup for Christmas shopping.
All taken from Mt. Washington - Point of View Park.

Thanks everybody. Now I want to get a moon-rise shot!

Just seeing what I might be able to do with my new Canon EOSR
1/30 at f/8
ISO 1600
105mm

Go to the Canon support website for EOS R and download Digital Photo Professional for Mac OS.
It is free and it is good software. You should also register your camera there.
I also have the Canon R.

Thank you. Now I need to experiment.

I've stepped up to trying to use 2 Godox TT685C Thinklite slaves triggered by the Godox X1C. Question: If both lights are set for TTL radio wireless slave (and pointed at the subject from slightly different angles), and I use the camera FE Lock to meter on the subject, does the trigger "know" that 2 flashes are being used, so it reduces the power on each flash proportionately?
I experimented with this setup, and got bad overexposure every time. What do I not understand? Are there any (free) videos out there to show me the fundamentals of multi-light triggering?
Thank you.

That's a great find! Thank you for sharing.

I recently was trashing through my old camera equipment and found this filter - along with 15-20 others.
Who knows... I might use them!

Thank you everybody!

This was done in 1984 using a Canon A1 SLR, and a Cokin "Double Exposure" filter. The filter was a half-moon solid mask. You exposed half the frame, turned it 180 degrees, and exposed the other half after the subject moved. And you hoped the background and lighting didn't change in the 30 seconds it took.
Of course we also did a lot of wizardry in the dark-room, also.
Now we have Adobe, et al.

I am on a mission to get good hummingbird photos. Still working on tight tracking focus. But I had to share this pose.

😁👍👍
