    After the A7RII, What does the 5D4/X need to have?

    So, I'm probably going to purchase a A7RII but I'm still looking forward to the 5D4. If canon still puts a decent product, I could be swayed to hold off my purchase of the A7RII for native mount lenses/flashes. This is what I'd like to see. 1. 32mp or higher MP with improved IQ. 2. AF &...

    Skipping the 5D-s. What do you want in 5D4?

    The 5D-s will be $4k and a premium studio camera. Great for those who have the need and Canon responded in a way to the two year old D800. For those who aren't going to buy this camera, what does canon need to do in the 5D4 to consider an upgrade? Assuming that the 5D4 will have no less specs...

    Do you flick your camera off when setting it down?

    I tend to do this when I put my camera down. Bad habit? Situational dependent? Or just muscle memory? Do you do this? And why/ why not?

    Why haven't you left canon?

    Explain. I added a MF system but I don't think that counts as jumping ship.

    How to get Rid of Heat Simmer in your landscapes.

    I discovered something really cool today. I was shooting some Fracking platforms and noticed how bad the heat shimmer is here during the summer. Unfortunately, a Daytime shot was required and the simmer was making it difficult to use longer lenses to flatten the subject against the sky. But I...

    Adopting a MF system.

    *Double Facepalm's Face. Once I took the petzval outside for 30 minutes, I knew this was going to be a love-hate relationship. Kickstarter funded a New Lomo Petzval Lens designed for 35mm Cam's last year and I signed up for the limited run from serial # 50-200. I paid 500$ for the lens and...

    Direct Image Competition - pixoto.com

    Pixoto.com is a neat site when it opened two years ago. It's a site where normal people pick photos over another photo and rank photos through votes. I left a handful of photos there about a year ago and completely forgot about it. I checked back in and was quite surprised some of my photos were...

    Post! Post! Post! (Why you should post process... and about DR.)
