Fall color in Kalispell has been weak also. The larches are still mostly green, likely due to the warm weather we'd been having. We had snow last night, though, so the yellow is now coming on fast.

The original Panasonic S1R had, charitably, a lousy focusing system. Panasonic greatly improved it in the S1R2, providing the kinds of subject detections that we've come to expect from modern mirrorless cameras. Combined with a 40 fps electronic shutter and excellent high ISO performance, I...

We've had a lot of clear blue skies lately, and snow and rain forecast for most of the next week. Tonight's sky was clear, but there were some clouds to the south east. I figured this nearby barn would work well with the clouds. Any thoughts are welcome.

Wow, that is just beautiful color! I lean toward the first but would be happy with either.

This was from just outside the park so I could have used a drone. My Mini 4k pro is back in California but I do have my Neo with me. I didn't bring it when I went exploring, like a dummy.

This area of the North Fork Road has beautiful views of the mountains in Glacier, sometimes with the river snaking in the foreground along with fall color. On the downside, after looking for hours and doing some painful bushwhacking, I couldn't find a clear view anywhere. The best I could do was...

I spent yesterday afternoon exploring the area between Columbia Falls and Polebridge near the northern entrance to Glacier NP. I had seen some nice fall color in this area before but had never really spent any time looking for good places to snap a few photos. Here is one of my favorites, with a...

Looks more like a "fire in the sky"

500mm from inside a vehicle - no concerns regarding safety

I do like me some reflections... It took me a while to cut down to six images to share. I tried to go with some very different locations. 1) Lion in Botswana 2) Mono Lake 3) Schwabacher Landing 4) Lake Matheson in New Zealand 5) Valley View in Yosemite 6) Kirkjufell in Iceland

Not much - it is a crop sensor lens They do have a 28-45 f/1.8 for full frame, but that isn't wide enough to be interesting to me

I have a love-hate relationship with the Samyang 24/1.4. When it works well, it is nice and sharp and produces good looking stars. For some reason, though, it is very finicky when it comes to focusing. I don't trust the distance scale on the lens and if you go past infinity things get blurry...

I'm not sure what forum to share this one, so I picked the post-processing forum since it kind of fits and needs some more traffic anyway. @JimFox made a recent post where he captured a night-sky image with a 14mm lens and cropped to a 24mm equivalent. My first thought, and I commented this way...

I think you mean the 6D - which was an excellent camera for astro although at 20MP may be lacking in pixels at this point. The ##D series are crop-sensor DSLR bodies and the 90D seems reasonably good deal compared to the R7 or other of the newer, mirrorless options. It has the same resolution as...
