My pick is "Ferryland Lighthouse" by NFLD Stephen, it is a beautiful lighthouse and I like the cloud trails. I really like the photo, but in my opinion it does not need as much rock as is shown in...

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

I think it is hard to make reasonable used lens market evaluation during the covid area. Given how well the EF lenses work on the new cameras I would predict lens value will surely fall versus 2-3...

It is nice to see people are enjoying the new cameras. I wonder what the DSLR phase out period will be and when many people have changed to mirrorless? When will the new RF mount lenses become the...

My pick is "Moulton Barn at Sunrise". I like the barn a lot and the time chosen to photograph is excellent. My only critique is I would have liken to see the foreground a little bit brighter.

I looked at a series of action shots from December 2018 @ late afternoon:

1/1600 f/6.3 ISO 320 400mm

If shooting at f/11 then roughly ISO 1000.

Maybe they'd clean up decent, but I think it...

Good God f/11 is slow. I'd say for photographing birds lenses that are so slow would be virtually unusable if you want to shoot at any reasonable ISO.

I take photos of bald eagles a few times...

Better bring a big lens if photographing birds using full frame. Crop sensors are better for the guy without big whites.

Cat fur is very demanding for resolution :)

You did a really nice job and I don't have any reason to be concerned about the quality.

I'm shooting through my sliding door window in these shots. I try to keep it reasonably clean to avoid affecting the image. I'm typically ~ 15 ft away.

Song bird photos that aren't staged in some manner are very difficult. I have a stick located close to a bird feeder. I wait for the birds to hit the stick and then take the photo.
