    Remote switch RS-80N3 and starting exposure

    I use a remote switch RS-80N3 in combination with a Canon 6D Mark II. The camera is in Bulb. I can AF when I press the button on the remote switch. But, I can't start exposure by pressing the button. Nothing else happens. Solved: it is a problem with the remote switch. After the remote switch...

    Swap TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II or not

    After some testing I have doubts whether I should exchange the TS-E lens. Unfortunately I have no comparison with another TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II. I did do the comparison on Digital Picture with some other lenses at 24mm. It seems that my TS-E lens scores lower than it should for a prime and T/S. I...

    Impact of using a clear filter on TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II?

    In a few days I will receive the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II lens. On all my other lenses I use B+W 007 clear XS-Pro filters. Because this is a Tilt/Shift lens, I wonder if it is wise to use a filter here as well. This concerns the B+W Digital MRC Nano XS-Pro 007M clear filter. Does the use of...

    For my photography I use the Canon EOS R6. Among other things, to photograph birds from a bird hut. A situation with varying contrasts and speeds of the birds.

    Reviews Canon 6D MK II

    I just came accross this review: http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/canon-eos-6d-mark-ii Interesting: "In manual mode you’re forced to go into the main menu or quick menu to access exposure compensation, which is a bit of a faff. It’s possible to reassign a button to exposure compensation...

    Arrival of Canon 24-105 f/4 IS USM II

    On August 26th, I pre-ordered this lens (€1279). Altough it reads that this lens may be delivered by the end of October, the camera dealer believes that the lens will be available beginning of September when the first 5D MK IV's are delivered. According to the camera dealer this is due to the...

    Kingfisher - what a bird

    I really got fascinated by this bird. I am sure others too. In my country it seems to be one of the most interesting birds. I went to a hidingplace close to the water and there was a lot of activity going on. I was hoping to capture the kingfisher in action but those birds are difficult to...

    Puzzled about exposure effect

    While I was going through some of my photos I encountered a - at least for me - strange effect. I made some 900 photos in this shoot and most of them are not affected like the attached photo. But maybe someone can explain to me what this is and how to avoid it. I don't think it is related to...

    Canon 5DsR and panorama photography

    How do I solve this issue?

    See attached a photo which is a merge of a 5 shot exposure. Also attached a detail in which you can see spots. Down left from the electricity mast and on the trees on the otherside of the road. It looks some kind of flare from the sun that is present in each of the 5 exposure shots. After I...

Advantage is that it is easy for me to adjust height - if needed. Sometimes I use it from a sitposition (walkstool) and pick things up to move to a...
