Just pulled the trigger on an Autel Evo II Pro - pretty excited. Lots to learn but hopefully some fun aerial imagery and video eventually. ML

So I am very excited to have my gear back under the stars in Southern AZ where I can remote control it from here in still snowy and cold Colorado. It looks like right now I will be able to use it through the new moon week of May, so hopefully some new data and ultimately images to post here. But...

So I have a fancy wide gamut monitor that I like a lot and use for photo editing. Up until now though it has had one feature that I did not see a great use for. It has some buttons that let you quickly change between different gamuts. I have used the switch between sRGB and AdobeRGB a lot, but...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used one of these systems? I am seriously looking at trying out the Freewell system, but I know that Kase also makes a system that is similar. The concept is to mount a very thin magnetic mount ring on the front of the lens and then any filter (or multiples of...

So I originally wasn't even sure where to post this - is a landscape image, or perhaps an astro image? Since the Sun is really what makes it anything even worth a second look I decided to post it here. In reality it is really kinda just a 'trick of the light' or perhaps more accurately a...

So I am getting excited for another few months of remote astro for me coming up, perhaps as early as about a week from now. My firiend delayed his travel to get his 2 COVID shots (2nd one this week) and will then be heading back down to his place in Southern AZ where my astro gear is situated...

Still finding what I feel are post-worthy images form my 2020 CO National Monument trip that were passed over. This one is from the scoiuting drive I made the night before I went back out to Ute Canyon for the sunrise. can't quite remember where on the road this is, it was pretty scenic along...

As my transition to RF continues, I am selling my other tele zoom lens, as my newly acquired RF 100-500 allows me to offload this lens as well. I am the original owner of this lens, and it has been a wonderful performer for me since March of 2013 when I received it. I would rate the condition as...

So after renting this lens initially I went out and ordered one, and mine finally showed up yesterday after a 5 week wait. Between the rental and a day with my own copy of the lens I have not had much time with this lens yet. I did post a couple of shots I got with the rental in the Wildlife...

I took this view from Colorado National Monument with 3 differing focal lengths. I have posted my favorite of the other 2 here earlier, but on further inspection I also decided this shot has some merit too. This is the closest view of the 3: Monument Canyon Sunrise #3, Colorado National...

Came across this today while looking through some images from 2019, and realized I liked it. Not sure why it didn't click with me at the time. This is a late day shot from a trip down to Mesa Verde National Park in 2019. I do not recall now if this was while we were still driving to the park or...

So I was out yesterday late in the day and shot a couple more test time-lapses I will call them. Technically they came out well I think but the subject isn't compelling. I was planning on posting them here anyway, but even after letting YouTube 'work' on them all night, the 4K one is still not...

So these are maybe a bit dated, as I think I have learned some things since these were made that might have improved my results. They are perhaps still fun and maybe a little informative on a few things NOT to do. Like @JimFox recent post where he had multiple cameras running on the moon, I...

Hi, With my new R5 in hand and an RF 100-500 supposedly just a few days away from shipping to me it is time for me to put my lightly used Sigma 150-600 up for sale. The Sigma is in perfect working condition but is just a little too large for me to hand-hold successfully whereas the lighter RF...

Here are a few more images form down here in South Padre Island. This was late in the day as the Sun prepared to make a rare appearance. Unfortunately, we were on a beach on the side towards the mainland which faces due west, so the backlighting was causing no end of exposure headaches. Both are...

So our visit down here has so far been met with lackluster weather, but I have still been able to do a little more wildlife shooting, splitting time handheld with my trusty EF 70-300 L IS and then also using the Sigma 150-600 braced on a car door safari-style one day, both running on the R5. I...

Landscape Photography Magazine is a very cool publication, and it is very fun to have an image posted on their website for the 2nd time, this time as part of their 'Desert Land' assignment. Guessing a lot of other folks here who might have something very appropriate for that topic too...

So I was lucky enough to catch 2 immature bald eagles in a tree on the path behind our house, with some decent lighting for a change, right at the end of the day. I almost screwed up the shot, as I had seen them while walking the dog, and then dashed back out after we were done, proceeded to get...

With my new R5, I have started to re-experiment with time-lapses. This was shot a couple weeks ago, and originally put together as a 4K video. I then reprocessed it using LRTimelapse software, and saved it as an HD video. The fun part was that it is an experiment to try for an unattended video...

So I rented an RF 100-500 to see if I was going to like the image quality, and to also see if I could shoot with it handheld in certain situations with the R5. The answer to both of those questions is a yes, I think. So while this is not a National Geographic image, and while slowly swimming...
