Very helpful.

Thank you!

Now I just need to learn how to do a proper "quote reply".

That makes sense and really helps.
Thank you!

Thanks, Chicago Canon Guy. I knew you would be able to help me! Trying to figure out why my rf 800mm f/11 has a challenge locking focus on birds in flight. Sounds like that is just the trade off for all that length.

You da Man!

What makes a "fast lens". Does this refer to the speed at which the lens can lock focus on a subject?
Regardless of the brand, is a fast lens one that has the lager aperture?
For example, if I have both a 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 100-400mm f/5.6 lens and I try to catch a bird in flight using a focal length of 200mm and set my apurture (manual mode) to 5.6, will both of these lenses have the same "speed of focus"?
Maybe I am way off base here, which is why I am calling on your expertise.

Thank you!

Probably too general of a question, but I'm visiting Key Largo near the end of March (escaping Minnesota for a week).
I am aware of Everglades National Park, John P Coral Reef and other tourist sites.
Any suggested hot spots to jump in my car and shoot various wildlife, or any photo groups that meet around there on a regular basis? I did download the Ebird app, which should be helpful.
I will be bringing my Canon R6 mark ii and lenses ranging from 16mm up to 800mm.

Thanks!

Great advice. Thank you!

Love the list.

Now I just need to figure out the difference between "reply" and "quote reply".
Switched to morrorless in 2023.
With a Canon R6 and the Canon R6 mark II in my arsenal, I'm going to devote more time in 2024 to learning the movie modes. Apparently, I have great gear for the task.

Thanks for your continued guidance!

When I shoot birds in flight, I crank up the shutter speed (around 2500) to get a clear shot. I also like to keep a constant aperture. Auto ISO allows me to not worry about the amount of light in a given shot. My shots come out pretty clean and the auto ISO helps me get proper exposure without messing with compensation.

Admittedly, I did not read all 5 pages of the post. Sorry if you already provided this info. Just curious, how much did you pay to have this custom canvas created?

Same happened to Me.
Adobe was great I guiding me through a fix by downloading the DNG converter. Converts an entire folder of RAW images quickly. Now I can open and use in PSE.

Indeed, my PSE updates automatically, but I was impressed to get a call back from Adobe support and a live person to walk me through the "temporary" solution.

I was surprised to learn that Photoshop Elements (2022) was able to open RAW files from my Canon R6, but not from my Canon R7.
My workaround was to open each R7 RAW file in Topaz Denoise, process as RAW and save as DNG. After that, PE was able to open the saved RAW/DNG file.
Adobe support was very helpful in explaining that they are working on supporting the R7 RAW format and they helped my download and test the Adobe DNG Converter. This allowed me to quickly bulk process my R7 RAW files for editing with PE.

The Adobe support rep did tell me they were working on the issue and would include a fix in an upcoming software update for Photoshop Elements.

The same issue might exist for RAW files that come from the new Canon R10.

Awesome! Well done and thanks for sharing!

Sounds cool. Can you show us?
