Canon EOS R. Canon RF 800 X 2x (1600mm). 1/1328 - f/22 - ISO @ 4000.
Distance was 50-60 feet. Hand held.


There are many photos of birds on a daily basis, this one, in my opinion, is really good!

You are probably right, but even with my latest iPhone SE, I don't get the IQ that I get from my 16MP Olympus EPL 5. Maybe it's the photographer!!


Nicely put!!

This thing is nasty. A cure would be nice, but right now, avoiding it if possible is the best course of action.

Interesting! Certainly sounds more promising than intravenous Clorox.


Forget clorox, we need a cure and this one (for now) is not a proven cure or treatment, for now it is an interesting theory only.

I have not watched or listened to the entire clip, but as a former medical practitioner, I would prefer to see scientific proof from studies regarding the use of budesonide as a treatment or cure for COVID-19. What is reported her is anecdotal reports and will not hold up for acceptance by the WHO, CDC, or any major research group. It sounds good, but more information is required to rule out any potential side effects, adverse reactions, or potential harm from this drug's use for COVID-19.


I could not have said it any better.
A lot of "solutions" have been proposed and advocated.
We need statistics coming from the correct places.
How come nobody else knows about it?

One thing is for sure, it is NOT because of the hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, and zinc tablets along with homeopathic medicines."

I have an X-T3 and have it configured to use the front command dial to change the aperture (yeah I know that's very old school, and I'm happy to admit I'm still living in the DSLR world). But it works for me.

Overall I'm very happy with this setup but the only complaint I have is to use it in this way I have to set the aperture ring to "A" and it's just too easy to accidentally knock it off this setting.

I've been thinking of putting some sticky tape over it to hold it (or maybe some superglue ). Has anyone else come up with a smarter way to do this?

Thanks!

A thin strip of a good quality strong and clear tape will hold it forever.

How would one describe a "bad" photo? "Could be better."?
Just doesn't seem to get the point across as well.
Almost ALL photos could be better, it's just a matter of interpretation.
And who gets to say where a photo sits on a scale of 0 (lousy) to 10 (excellent)?


OK, so bad could be a bad composition, bad lighting, bad color (over or under saturated) and more = BAD
Now if anyone thinks it is a 3 or a 5 on a 1-10 scale, it is their own opinion, but most of us here on UHH know what a bad photo looks like.

Since I've watched everything on Netflix and Prime, I had to look elsewhere, and I found National Geographic through Disney+. I've been watching the series "Drain the Oceans." That ran for two seasons, and then they have other "Drain" series.

I've been watching this for quite a while now - fascinating!

1) You may have too much time on your hands.
2) Your "rational, thinking ...etc." comment can easily be construed as unfriendly, elitist, insulting or pedantic.
3) Cool off and find something useful and constructive to occupy yourself with.
4) Just trying to help.


In my opinion we are politically correct AD NAUSEAM, we should be able to write what we think with truthfulness and integrity without being abnoxious on one hand and without being so politically correct and so super sensitive on the other.
We are grown ups, so if you can not take a little heat, get out of the kitchen
Example... I had an argument with a lady here on UHH about telling the truth to the photographer of a bad photo, in my opinion this will help imrove his/her performance and picture taking, alas, she insisted that we have to say "good words and praises" even if that photo is not good at all...How is one suppose to learn (from his/her mistakes) if nobody will point him/her in the right direction?
I think we get insulted way too fast and way too easily.

Welcome to Your Forum. Good Luck With Your Choice! I would like to let you know that you may have opened a kettle of fish. Each one of us has our experiences, preferences and prejudices to share. You might have begun the age old word war. Pick a camera, any camera is good for starters. Play, Practice and Experiment. And, do it again!
To let you know, the camera doesn’t take photographs. It only does 2% of the task at hand. It is the nut in the viewfinder that does 98% of the photo.

Happy Shooting!

Best answer to the ongoing question that keeps popping up here, people need to research, here they will get a million different opinions which will be very confusing.

There are no "unsharp" kit lenses. That body is very capable of very sharp images. My crop-frame body and kit lenses have been every bit as sharp as my non-kit lenses. You can save the $600 by figuring out the reason for un-sharpness with your current set-up.


Well put!

Yes there is an improvement in IQ and performance between a D300 and a D850 (take any other makes and models over certain time spans) but this 'difference' does not mean you are automatically going to get preferable results.

A mediocre boring image taken with the best technology available will never be as good as an image with great subject and impact taken with lesser technology equipment.


Correct, and even though I have good equipment from Fuji, I still believe that - Mainly - it IS the photographer, equipment helps and that's about it.
I love to say "My opinion - your decision"

"I have a dream." My dream is that someday there will be a ONE post that doesn't result in an argument. I know it's a real long shot given UHH's history. If someone posted a message saying "the earth is a sphere,' there would be someone else who argued that it is flat. He knew that because he was the world's greatest self-appointed "expert" on the subject. Plus he had taken many photos with the horizon in the background, and it was clearly a straight line beyond which nothing can be seen, proving that it is a cliff dropping off to outer space. That one would have been good for a week-long thread of insult and anger for sure. My timeless question: what is the point?

Agreed, Alan, but, in my opinion of course, when a question as to which camera to buy, well, everybody has an opinion and most guys think that theirs is "the best camera to satisfy the question" so you are getting endless answers that will only confuse the person who posted the question.
One should research and research and POSSIBLY get to his own conclusion.
Here is a good site that will help a lot (the cameras posted may be changed endlessly....)
