When I have been shooting real estate interiors, I've been depending on PS to provide me with strait 90 degree lines. Now, I'm thinking about investing in one or two tilt shift lenses. I've looked on KEH and other photo dealer's web sites. I see all different specs. Most of the rooms I shoot are 10' x 10', 10' x 12', and an occasional 12' x 16' As I look at the different lenses, I see a variety of specifications and I don't know one from the other. I'm open to feed back.

This is probably a well-known phenomenon and a well discussed topic, but it’s interesting to me since I just observed it firsthand. I went on a photo shoot on a very cold day in Chicago…..shooting from a breezy high-rise roof top which made it even colder. I started with a fully charged battery in my Fuji X-T2. As I shot multiple exposures, I notice the battery (charge) indicator declined rapidly and went red, indicating complete exhaustion. (At first, I couldn’t believe what was happening because the decline was so fast). I switched to a (warm) battery from my pocket and put it in my (now) colder camera. After a few minutes and a few exposures, the same thing started to happen. I ended the session with about half the shots I usually get from the batteries….(and my freezing hands). So, my observation and conclusion…battery life declines rapidly, as much as 50% in very cold weather. The exposures appeared mostly normal since I stopped shooting before the battery indicator went red. And yes, these are rather new, Mfg labeled batteries. My new practice for cold weather shooting---carry multiple batteries in warm pockets and expect to change them😊 Any quick thoughts would be appreciated…thanks

I remember watching the Winter Olympics in South Korea. It was very cold over there and I noticed that all the photographers special cold weather coverings around their cameras. Perhaps you might look into getting something like that.

I have a Canon Rebel EOS T2i which I use as a walkaround camera and photoshoots which require minimal processing. I bought a new battery, a Canon battery less than a year ago. And lately when I leave it in the camera for any extended period of time the battery becomes completely drained of power. I always turn the camera off when not in use. Is the problem in the camera or the battery or both? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Hello guys,

This morning I tried using my camera in video mode. It turned out ok, then I received the err 20 message. the mirror wouldn’t go back to its position although I’ve already tried removing the battery, swapping lenses and turning on and off the camera several times. I can hear twice a moving sound when I try to turn it on.

Anyone here ever faced this error? Living in a small city northwest Mexico does not make it easy finding an authorized canon repair center and the camera is way out of warranty.

Thanks in advance for any insight. Stay safe.

Go with Canon Repair. They'll service their equipment from anywhere in the world. I've sent my Canon 6D in for repair over there. they're prompt and reliable.

I did a search and did not turn up anything specific even though I sure it has been beat to death and I just couldn't find it. Will the current crop of high end Mirrorless cameras make the SLR obsolete. It seems that the mirrorless does everything the SLR does and more. Sorry for what I am sure is repetition.


Look at it in terms of dollars and cents. When the market gets flooded with mirrorless cameras, think of how the cost of SLR equipment will plummet. Imagine getting bodies and lenses that now cost three figures for a third of the cost.

does this work with a Canon EF or EF-S mount?

You do not have to upgrade to continue using as long as you want. The $99 will cover all the Topaz programs you might have. If you still have free upgrade time on a product, they will give you credit towards the upgrade price. Adobe charges more than that for a year of upgrades and when you stop paying you can no longer use the products.


I have Topaz AI Sharpening and I think I'll cancel it. It is way too slow. The last photo I submitted to them, it took over two hours before it finished. This is ridiculous.

Think about it....

While it makes sense to auto adjust the flash coverage to match the lens focal length when the flash is "on camera"... It doesn't make sense to do the same when the flash is off-camera and being remotely triggered. The remotely triggered flash's coverage requirement is likely quite different. Depending upon where the remote flash is located in relation to the subject, it could be right or it could be wrong for the off-camera flash to emulate the coverage of the on-camera flash. The remote triggering systems have no way of judging what's correct, so leave it to you to manually set the coverage for the off-camera flash. The "safest" manual coverage setting of the off-camera flash would be its widest, unless that causes underexposure problems. (This is different from the system handling exposure TTL.... To accomplish that, all that's needed is a low power pre-flash and meter reading, that's then used to adjust the power of the flash.)

Stick with the major brands, Nikon, Canon, Sony, and alike, You buy off brands you get what you pay for.

Back in July of 2007, I took a picture of another museum goer as he approached me between two gigantic steel panels of a Richard Serra sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. I guess it was sort of street photography, but he's the only person in the picture. Could I get into any legal trouble if I put this image on flickr without even knowing his name?


Due to multiple answers to your post, this is what I would suggest. New York has laws on there books that probably go back to the days when New York was a Dutch colony. I thing that the best way to deal this this situation or any other similar situations that might arise in the future it would probably be a good idea to contact a lawyer if for no other reason to have peace of mind.

I have two Canon beginner cameras. And they all have a problem with the memory card inserts.
1: my first DSLR camera, a Canon Xsi. the memory card won't connect when I insert it. That's no big deal. I I've upgraded to more sophisticated cameras
2: a Canon T3i. I bought that one used because one of my clients is an asset management company where I'm hired to photograph vehicles and real property where their customers are behind on their payments. There is obvious risk involved and I don't want to use my very best cameras for these assignments. Now, this camera worked great for several months. But now I get an error message on the screen telling me, "Card's write protect is switched to lock." I've tried several cards and I make sure that the lock switch on the card is where its supposed to be. But I get that same reading. I like that little camera, but what seems to be the problem and can it be fixed?

If your lens hood is a screw mount that goes inside the lens. You won't be able to mount a filter. But if you hood is a bayonet mount you shouldn't have any trouble.

I must be doing something wrong. I have had very bad luck shooting outdoor landscape with wide angle lens. I don't know if the posts on this topic refers to close range or in general. but when I try to shoot outdoor scenic shots the color of the sky always fades out and the shot looks awful.

Usually! You will have to use your imagination.
I am driving in the park, slowly!! Always looking for some action. I see a hawk in a tree and all of a sudden he sees a 🐿 and goes on the pursuit down in the grass area. I park on the shoulder and run 🏃🏻‍♀️across the street.
The squirrel dodges her predator, is up in a 🌳looking down at this hawk taking a drink of water. I jump back in my 🚙 which is out on the street and I park in the parking area.
I jump out again with my 📷 in hand and by the time I get to them the hawk always aware of where the 🐿 is, takes a couple hops over to where this squirrel is up in tree in plain sight.

To my amazement the squirrel jumps down the tree, startles the hawk and starts chasing the hawk.😱 The hawk is hopping away before it throws its wings in gear and starts to fly to get away from the new predator and I am behind them running 🏃🏻‍♀️in hot pursue with another hawk besides me. I don't know where he came from but he was after this crazy squirrel.
The prey becomes the predator. Squirrel survives!! The photographer misses the shots but enjoys the moment. The end.

Hope you enjoyed this one.

three cheers for the squirrel!

I use two (2) HP printers. Since retiring, I tend to pay more attention to costs. I have always bought OEM HP ink. Now, I am considering “refill cartridges” and/or “compatible cartridges”. They are much less expensive! Any thoughts?


Yes! I have and HP printer. And I have tried off brand cartridges once! It really messed up my printer and I had a bear of a time getting the ink ports cleaned. Stick with the HP cartridges.
