I don't have a use for it, but it looks super cool.

Hmmm. Tough choice.

Zach. For the deer photo, I have no idea how you have more visible here than when you click through the Flickr. That's just odd. Your recent shots have a strong noise...

You missed an option Stephen. It's obviously taken while zooming around a rally track, with a high shutter speed to freeze the image.

That should be the next feature to build into the camera. Automatically identify what you're shooting. While we're all going by "blue-jay sized" vs. "crow-sized", and a vaguely described color...

You have too much data to make SSD viable. You need cheap long term storage, so I would suggest 1 and 3. Get a large external drive. Copy the contents of the 3 internal drives to it. Replace the...

Currently seeing 147 pages while viewing this thread, but only 146 pages on the forum view. Trying to go to page 147 doesn't work, and thread remains permanently "unread". This post is just an...

Joel, it's a very nice duck, but it's a very common duck. I'm curious if the lighting in "Valley in Yellowstone" is natural. It looks overly cross processed to me.

Brant, the "Galactic Core" is...

Congrats.

Thanks everyone. I'd also like to thank the owl for the opportunity, my neighbours for not minding that I'm in their yard with a big lens, and for Bella who first noticed that all the crow and blue...

Thanks everyone. We did get super close! There were crows and blue jays that had been screeching for 20 minutes. We decided to go see what all the fuss was about, and there was the owl, just...

Thanks Kari. And thanks Owl, for dropping by on the last day. ;)

Love Stephen's photo. Action, Wildlife and Landscape all in one shot.

The more top-notch images you post in one week, the better everyone else's odds are in the following weeks, when you can't enter these shot again, so you're doing everyone a favour really.

I'm going with Patrick's Redwoods. The person in frame really shows off the scale of the trees. The foreground tree isn't doing anything for me though. That could be any sized tree with the camera...

And it's not like they were smoothly panning on a tripod or monopod, following a BIF's glide path. The image was bouncing around everywhere. There's no way any predictive autofocus could assist...

I was surprised how close the 5DIV and M6II 10ft shots were. The 5DIV looked to be a bit better resolved, using the 600 marker on the right as my guide. In the 5DIV image I could see the white...

Compare M6 II vs. 5DIV both at 10ft, as this is often the real world situation. You cannot get closer to the subject without one of the following:

a) Falling from cliff, in river, off boardwalk,...

Nice set Brant. Joel is finally getting some competition again. ;)

Joel, for the Hummingbird, he used a 5D4, 500mm F4L IS II + 1.4x Extender III (Flickr shows it below the image, along with...

The key part of that video is to make sure you have a backyard in Botswana.

Another positive of it will be a spike in indie apocalypse movies. Think of all the footage of empty everything all those aspiring movie makers can get right now. You used to need a massive budget...

It appears to be a bit of a light week this week.

Dave, love the eagle, but the background is a bit too distracting to be my pick, which instead goes to... (drumroll)... Danny (Minerve101) for...

Yup. The thing that got me thinking IR might be too low-res to use as freely as the "color" channels, is that on the IR birding page I linked to, all the standalone IR imaging devices are super...

Cool. So they are using the color data as I imagined they would use the IR data, to help decide which focus points to use. Unless the IR data is too low res, noisy, or otherwise unsuitable, I'd...

No idea. You'd think they would find a way to leverage any data available, but they don't really discuss how their AF tracking systems work. Even if IR data is not be dense enough to help with...

I thought that was what the IR in the RGB+IR metering sensor was about. It will track warm bodies, so if it is temporarily obscured, or against a cluttered background, it will still stand out and be...
