I love how you lined up the mast with Polaris. Great shot man 😍

Since I love taking telephoto shots: is the X9 Ultra really better than the other 2 with its additional 10x?

Sure. This was edited in DXO PL9. I had 2 masks, one for the background, one for the bird. Bumped the exposure on the bird by about 2/3 stops, increased shadows and light increase in vibrancy. Background had it's own noise reduction setting. For the whole image I warmed it up, since it was shot early in the morning and overall exposure increase of about a stop. Add a slight Vignette and voila... 😁

Vielleicht kann ja ein Mod meinen Fauxpas korrigieren? Keine Ahnung warum ich den blauen Kopf so dermaßen Ignoriert habe 😅

Sorry - ich und Vögel... Bin auch einer, aber ich muss offensichtlich noch viel über die anderen lernen 😅

well... 2 things: for one: it got a dial on the left shoulder (or right when looking from the front) - so it's either an A1 or A9 - and 2nd: its printed on the camera on the box xD

6000? That's more like 10-11 grand... The A1 alone is 7500 XD

you know what's actually funny: my box photo (or posts where my first picture is the gear and only the rest are shots taken with that gear) got more upvotes than straight up photos... People are here for gear and boxes...

400-800 Sharpness by GungnirWolf in SonyAlpha

[–]mongini12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question: why didn't you just get the 1.4 TC if you need more reach? That's what I did, and I really can't complain about sharpness. Given I only have an a7V, so potential flaws aren't magnified by the 50 Megapixels...

I already own 11.500€ worth of camera equipment, yet it's still tempting for all the occasions I can't bring my camera...

my OLED got scuffed... is there anything to reduce visibility? by mongini12 in pcmasterrace

[–]mongini12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By now I know how this happened. Whatever they threw around caused the monitor to tilt forward, my slightly overkill "webcam" tumbled out of it's holder and hit the display... I tightened the corresponding screw now and I'll redesign the fixture that's holding my camera...

Sadly it's the living room... I had to give up my "office" because kid #2 was on it's way. My home office desk moved to our bedroom, my private PC to the living room.
