The winner of the tele photo wars is the guy in the middle. Gary, the guy between the Canon 500 at the front and the Sony/Minolta 600 at the back, with the small narrow white tube. It’s a 1200mm digiscope. It’s mounted on an Olympus micro 4/3!
The previous summer was extremely rich in mice, rodents… in the arctic. The Snowy Owls had many off-springs (the more mice rodent, the more snowy owls offsprings). They (mostly the young) couldn’t deal with the -40° and -50°! (both in Fahrenheit and in Celsius), so some moved south to the Lower Mainland, BC for an easier winter and for finding more food. A grand total of 24 of them!
Canon Rumors in conjunction with Lens Rentals have written a long article on:
Lens Rental, like their name says, rent lenses for Canon, Nikon… They have a fairly high traffic and a big turnover on both cameras and lens. People rent the lens for the weekend or a few days… and inevitably, people complain that the lens, they just rented, is a dude. Why is it soft?
I spoke to this lady after she took her ‘blurry’ photos. She was very unhappy with her Canon camera and she was talking about switching to Nikon. She was blaming the camera for taking all these blurry photos.
The main problem with her Canon camera was how she was holding her camera and her lens.
Digital cameras have changed photography. In the “good old days” you bought a film: either black and white, with an ASA (ASA begat DIN which begat ISO) of 125 or of 400 or a color film with a specific sensitivity with an ASA rating of 50 like the Fuji Velvia 50 or Kodachrome 64… And that was it. For the whole roll/film. You could push the sensitivity a little bit by changing the processing but if not the ISO was fixed.
Nowadays, in 2024, almost all raw processing software, from Lightroom to Darktable passing through Luminar and Capture One, support these three functions:
They kind of do similar things but they have different effects and different purposes.
The Fujifilm cameras numbering is:
Reformatting or changing the SD memory card may not reset the frame numbers. The keyword here is “may” It depends on the settings of:
It’s all in the serial number. The manufactured date is embedded in the serial number.
That depends on which Fujfilm camera model.
And now it gets complicated:
For me, the most important for me is to have my photos in focus. My clients would not be happy if I delivered out of focus photos. In my defence, I could blame my Fujifilm camera that was set to priority focus :)
The other day, my Fujifilm X-H2s went dead. Almost nothing worked. I could turn the camera on and off and that’s it.
Was it dead? Did I need to send it back for repair?
