Thanks all !!!

Thanks! One perk of living in the woods is lots of woodpeckers ..... downside is ten tons of leaves to be dealt with annually and constant roof maintenance. Trees shed unbelievable amounts of stuff...

Northern Flickers are visiting my feeders quite often now ... I have seen as many as 6 at one time:)

I took these images this morning with the R5 + EF 100-400mm II + 2.0 TC III + EF-RF adapter.

It was heavily overcast so I had to use higher ISO and lower shutter speeds than I would ordinarily...

The Version III 2.0 TC does have upgraded electronics compared to Version II.

I think the overall performance is somewhat dependent on the lens you are using.

I have a version III 2x TC and...

Congrats from me too!!!

This weeks winner is "Green Gardens". A beautiful scene well captured with great composition, color and depth. There is a lot to look at and enjoy in this image.....congrats!

This is wonderful .... great detail in the red feathers (not an easy task), the weathered stump is so cool. If this were mine I would try to eliminate the out of focus diagonal branch that is just...

Thanks Zach and Brant!

I really liked the pose on this one with the tail angled down .... I think he was just about to launch.

Interesting from a technical point of view but I've never been a "live view" shooter so no impact on my personal style.

The 1DXIII, when using the optical viewfinder, does use a separate focusing...

Ah .... that makes more sense to me now:rolleyes:. With mirror up in live view the 1DXIII is functioning like a mirrorless camera but instead of contrast detect focusing like many prior cameras used...

I guess I am a bit confused about this issue. Did you take photos with a 1DXIII and an R5 when you noticed this difference or was it some other camera compared to the R5 or 1DXIII?

I think dual...

Jonathan what an amazing set of images .... wow, fabulous!

Thank you so much !!

You really got some great images from Yellowstone....I need to go back for a pure photo shoot!

My photo experience highlight of 2020 was the trip to Ecuador in early January before the full nature of the pandemic was known.

It was a bucket list type of thing having read about Tandayapa...

Certainly the R5 is part of a new breed so to speak and is not like prior SLR's in many ways.

Of course it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

For me, the way that the LCD and EVF work is not a...

Under the "customize buttons" menu there is a way to assign a button of your choice to switch manually between the LCD screen and the EVF. There is also an option to assign "display off" to any...
