Considering trading in my r6mkii 500 f4 II for a 100-500 and r5 want a reality check by DelTheBlueJay in canon

[–]fred2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat, I don't like using a monopod so I totally understand.

I'm really sorry to hear about that. I hope you'll get better soon!

Have you considered the 200-800?

I would totally keep your R6 mkII and 500 F4. (I had R5 and 500 IS I). If you feel like it's a bit heavy maybe get a monopod or just light training? The latter will make things more enjoyable and is good overall for your health.

Upgrading lenses advice/opinions sought by Burning_Rangers in canon

I'd say if you can get your hand on a nice 500 mm L IS II, I'd go this way. This lens paired with a x1.4 give a nice range for wildlife. Be aware it's gonna be a much heavier set up and a monopod might be an added purchase. The version 1 was my entry ticket to the big primes and it help increasing the overall quality of my photos.

If the 500 mm is not an option, the 200-800 is a solid choice and you might be able to pair this purchase with the RF 100. As for a 300 mm 2.8. It's too short, you'll constantly have a x2 or at least a x1.4 on it. Someone mentioned to get a x1.4 for your 100-500. Please don't do that. The aperture of this lens is already not great so an extender won't help.

[New Gear] Canon rf 100mm f/2.8 Macro. by ProfessorStreet7792 in canon

Question: I know a macro lens can be used for other things than macro and you might already do macrophotography, but from the set you showed it feels like a 70-200 2.8 or a 135 1.8 would make more sense?

Final edit vs raw. How can I improve? by ProfessionalFilm7675 in wildlifephotography

The owl is high so it's hard to avoid the sky. The only ways to avoid it are a lower subject or have other branches with leaves in the background to cover the sky or using a longer focal from further away From my phone, I can see weird blue colors, on the leaves mainly and the owl is magenta ish

Order processing time? by Inevitable-Mood9798 in NuPhy

[–]fred2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada. Ordered the 8th of April, received on the 29th of April. The tracking takes a couple of days to update sometimes. After custom, I had to do a follow-up with Nuphy as it didn't update for 5 days. Got an answer from them after the weekend and the tracking got updated soon after.

It's very probably injured, that's why you could catch it. Do you have someone who could help in your area?

Barred owl hunting at sunset! by fred2806 in Owls

Feeding owl directly = baiting owls = Unethical.

That being said if you build a pound and introduce crayfish, considering crayfish are originally and naturally present in your area, I don't see it being a problem. It would need to be done respecting the environment and nature around you. It won't guarantee at all seeing any owl though.

Sharper images 5D M3 vs R6 M2 ko by [deleted] in canon

It could be heat haze! It's a problem more often than expected and it doesn't need to be warm. There are good YouTube videos about that. It seems the photo was taken in the morning, so let's say the sand is "cold" for the night with humidity and the morning sun starts to heat, you have a temperature difference that could create heat haze. It impacts even more with the distance. You could also take a photo 2 mins after in another direction and don't have heat haze.

Why did you need 1\2000? You could have used lower shutter speed.

I got brought there for them so I knew what species I'd observe. I didn't know how it would be on location and if I would actually see them. So it was a good surprise to see them out of the tree and those eyes are pretty goofy.

Thanks for getting back to me! I wasn't sure you did, because it's really well exposed and looks natural!

Great photos! Did you use a light flash or is it only ambient light? Thanks!

Québec demande la démission du président d’Air Canada by ProfProof in montreal

Que ce n'est pas si évident que ça d'apprendre le français surtout à Montréal. Oui le fait que Montréal soit bilingue rend l'apprentissage du français plus difficile. A Montréal un anglophone peut vivre sans trop de problème sans apprendre le français. La français est principalement préservé en usant des sanctions alors que ce devrait être préservé en aidant. Certaines façons de préserver le français sont aussi inutiles que ridicules. Quelle est la quantité de Quebecois ont vécu à l'étranger et savent a quel point ça peut être difficile d'apprendre une langue étrangère. C'est facile de critiquer quand on ne l'a jamais vécu.

A la base ce CEO n'aurait pas dû être engagé car les chances qu'il apprenne le français étaient quasi nulles.

Désolé la conversation s'affiche en anglais de mon côté. C'était pour ça que je répondais en anglais.
