    Everything that's every been photographed now has to be re-shot with a drone. Apparently.

    How soon before drone footage of the Mona Lisa? Cameras getting it from all sides.... smart phones, and now super high quality drones.

    Canon RF 24-240- I expected it to be pretty bad, but....

    IT WASN'T. Not even close... I bought every other lens first, available thinking that, "My R5 walk around lens is my iPhone Pro Max". So, I bought a 24-240 last, just so I could use the same editing software, and half out of curiosity. And I was pleasantly surprised. And I mean "almost shocked"...

    Does a 5Ds do anything better than an R5?

    I own a 5Ds (and other Canon DSLR bodies) and a bunch of EF glass. I realize there is a reason to keep the EF glass going forward, especially with lenses not yet out in RF format. But, is there any reason to keep the 5Ds body or, (absent cost saving), just about any Canon DSLR body at this point?

    The new "Holy Trinity"?

    Times change, and technology advances. Lens quality that was not possible even a decade ago is now here. Before 3 years ago, a hand held high quality 500mm zoom was nothing more than a fantasy. With that, shouldn't the "Holy Trinity" also be updated to be (something like): 14-24, 24-105...

    I need a Black Friday plan for software. Lightroom / Topaz / DXO / Luminar Neo, Portrait Pro, etc.

    Well, I used to spend a lot of time on CR circa 2014-2016, but my house burned down, I moved to he Caribbean, helped start a crypto, and just got busy as heck. So, I've fallen way behind. Just updated all my gear, (even then there was nothing wrong with my EOS 5Ds and lots of L lenses). Bought...

    Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 low light focus

    Anyone else surprised that their 16-35 f/4 (on an EOS 6D) doesn't perform better at low light auto focus (that my iPhone 7 handled without difficulty)? More importantly, would a new 16-35mm f/2.8 done better on auto-focus? (Subject was a party of about 20 around a fire pit with several tiki oil...

    Last second (selfie) focusing on self timer- how to do with electronic focus??

    I should know this but I don't. How do you get Canon body (in this case 5DSr) to focus at the last second if you want to run around to the front of the camera for a passport portrait (or other selfie) with the shutter release on 10 second delay? (2 off camera speedlite flashes used). What I'm...

    Where is it best to use 50 MP vs 20 MP? Wide angle or standard focal length.

    Okay, so I HATE changing lenses when I am out walking around shooting. I'm allergic to dropping lenses, getting dust in the camera and/or lens, inconvenience of juggling expensive stuff, wasting time, etc. SO, I was waiting to see what the 5D4 would be like, and I've decided to buy a very...

    6DMk2 or 5Ds-R for landscape and portraits?

    I've got a 6D, which I adore, and a 7D2 for sports. Wondering which I should do to upgrade from the 6D in the fall- Watch for price drop on 5Ds-R? Get 5DMk4 (and sell the 7D2), Get the 6DMk2? You think 6D2 will have a better sensor than the 5D4 or the 5Ds-R? Anybody else wondering this?

    Best free online photo classes (like Creative Live)?

    So, I haven't sprung yet for any Creative Live classes, because I like to learn through trial and error, time is limited, and don't want to waste money if I bought a class I didn't like. So, I'm wondering, what are the best free online classes? I'd like to try a few free ones to see if I'd like...
