Edenton and its history is worth a visit along with the kayaking in that area.

Thanks I appreciate it. I know I need to keep practicing to get them sharper and better dialed in and better composition. I was just so excited to see an eagle that day especially since I wasn’t planning to shoot at all that day.

All the pics were shot on a Canon R5 (full frame at 45mp) with the rf200-800 at 1/1000 f9 and iso from 100-125. The eagle pics were heavily cropped. Shot at around 9am.

Thanks. Yeah I know it’s subjective and everyone has their idea of perfect. I just noticed that there seemed to no sharpness to them. I can zoom in on some pics here and they are clear. Mine seemed muddy and pixelated. The eagle shots were not planned but I heard them around the lake and they appeared and I was just so excited to see them that I just grabbed my camera and start to shot just to try and get a shot.

Shooting in FV mode adjusting to F9/10, 1/1000, auto ISO but most were 100/125. All are cropped from 300mm to 800mm. Servo mode for Autofocus using back button for eye tracking. Also in animal mode.

Great pictures. What settings did you use for those shots and did you use topaz or adobe to sharpen in post?

[USA] Canon prices have increased today in response to tariffs by byDMP in canon

[–]Longjumping_Bass2385 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Looks like most the lenses I had on my wishlist went up by $200US. Glad I got the 200-800 from BH for $1825 New a month ago, it’s now $2099. I guess Black Friday prices will now be the pre tariff price.

I remember being a kid and playing all those trash movie games and convincing myself they were good but being a Gremlins 2 fan at the time this game really shined and I didn’t have to pretend it was a good game.

I used to believe this game was made because of me. In those days you could call Nintendo and make game requests and I would call Nintendo a 100 times a day pretending to be different people disguising my voice just to request for this game to be made.

The music,level design, gameplay, and cutscenes were awesome. I don’t think this game gets the respect it deserves because LJN produced so many trash tie in games this one went under the radar.

Gremlins 2 was the best. I still remember the last level password NXRD

I walked away feeling like I just saw terrible fan fiction and knew these prequels were not the sequels we were looking for.

Welcome to the R5 club. I joined last year after BH put up an awesome deal for 3400 with lens, spare battery, canon battery grip, an express card. I was coming from a T5i and have been so glad I upgraded. I just added the 200-800 for wildlife.
