The damselfly larvae in my mini pond have started crawling out!

I find it amazing how they go from nearly transparent to fully coloured. Watching the wings unfold is mesmerizing as well.

R5II+RF100L and the later in the session an EL-5. 1800 shots in 2 hours, took a while to sort through edit!

And this damselfly didn’t get snatched by a sparrow a meter into its first flight, yay!

Looks like Canon is beginning a push for sell offs of their reconditioned stuff. The R5MkII now for $3500

Beautiful shots, Alan.

I am eagerly awaiting the photographer forward release. Enough video cameras....

I suppose it depends on who’s buying P&S cameras these days. I suspect it’s not mostly photographers.

And, most excitingly, a Norfolk (Green-eyed) Hawker, which is very rare here.

My first Scarce Chaser of the year.

A good day yesterday. Four-spot chaser and Emperor in Flight (R5ii and RF 100-500mm).

Well done, Alan. Not an easy shot.

I don't care if they call it Mark or just Powershot G1.

But please Canon, please for the love of God:
- a fast lens (what we had in the G1X Mark II or G7X III).
- useable zoom range (what we had in the G1X Mark II or G5X II)
- newer 4/3 sensor with dualpixel AF

And then you'd have a camera that would sell like hotcakes even if it costs $1499.

Very nice shot, dpc.

This designation seems to be more about bugfixes. And maybe not the important bugfixes. But who know

The bug fixes seem good to me at the moment, R5 MKII is good, no camera is perfect

As in you use LR to manually go through and view each image to decide whether or not to cull? Or as in letting LR automatically "decide" which ones are "bad"? Does LR even have that functionality? There are several apps that do. I haven't used LR in years.

I have used an addon a couple of times, but was not overly happy with the results. I generally do it manually and only remove out-of-focus shots, then sort by event. With the R1, I have very few that are not in focus or otherwise bad.

but I'd probably crop out the foreground blur which I find a little intrusive.

For composition reasons I didn't. The mushroom would be too close to the bottom.
A disadvantage of the longer focal length: it is more likely to get something in between.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt: EF200-400mm f/4L 1.4x + EF 2xTC + Commlite + RF 2xTC = 2240mm.

Don't make me whip out the Kenko 3X Teleplus Pro 300. Because I will.

Here I was shooting through the soccer goal trying to get some visible netting in the photo. I was about 10 feet back. In the top photo pressing the camera to the net may have resulted in camera damage or bodily injury. They seemed to be targeting me.

Lovely shots, WarrenJ.

Speyeria cybele on Bull Thistle. R8 with EF 100-400, cropped and lightly processed.

Those old conspiracy theories are, frankly, garbage.

So is this new one by @mimbu and the fact that he cannot produce any evidence to back up his claim is telling. But some people like to attach their tinfoil hats to their heads with cyanoacrylates.

Next you'll tell me that Microsoft didn't intentionally break compatibility of Lotus 1-2-3 to push Excel.

They may or may not but I will and since I was at Microsoft at the time I can state absolutely that not only did Microsoft not break compatibility of 1-2-3 but they bent over backwards to make sure 1-2-3 ran and ran cleanly even to the point of detecting the version being run and enabling emulation of old OS bugs that Lotus expected on those versions.

Those old conspiracy theories are, frankly, garbage.
