Nature's Moments No 16

 A new release of my short movies about nature.

What would you buy for your current R camera

Suppose you came across some extra cash and decided to buy something for your R-series camera—what would you choose?

Tough question, right?

As for me, what would I buy to pair with my Canon R6 Mark I? Since I spend about 80% of my time shooting wildlife, it makes sense to invest in a lens suited for that purpose. If you want to stick with Canon, there aren’t too many options—so the lens I’d choose is the Canon RF 100-500mm.

To complement this lens, I’d also get the RF 1.4x Extender. You might ask, “If you’re getting the extender, why not just go for the RF 200-800mm?” Well, here’s my reasoning: the RF 100-500mm paired with the 1.4x Extender gives me a range of 140-700mm. I actually prefer that range, especially on the lower end. For the kind of work I do, 140mm works better for me than 200mm.

Now I’m curious—what would you buy?

 

Electronic First Curtain Shutter

From all the shutter modes available in the Canon R6 Mark I, the one that I always use is the Electronic First Curtain Shutter or EFCS. In the Canon R7, I was using Electronic Shutter most of the time, but I stopped using it in the R6 because this camera is totally silent in this mode, and I love to have the sound feedback from the shutter. 

Here is a nice video explaining the differences between the Electronic, Mechanical, and EFCS.

For no reason at all

I can’t stop going back to this news, watching the video and looking at the pictures. It’s heartbreaking—this reporter was shot for no reason at all, just for someone’s cruel idea of entertainment.

I’m absolutely pro-police—I believe in law and order and the vital role officers play in keeping our communities safe. But respect has to go both ways. It’s a two-way street, and trust can only exist when it's mutual.

 

 

Lightroom Classic June Update

 Adobe has released an update for Lightroom Classic. What is new? Well, Denoise has been updated and now it does not create a copy of the original. Beside that a New option has been added called Remove Distractions. This feature includes two options, remove reflections and remove people, this last one useful to remove people from your landscape photos. You can see these changes here in this video. 

 

Squirrel posing like a pro

Last weekend, I took three pictures of a squirrel that I absolutely love. To me, the lighting and composition were perfect, and the squirrel was posing like a pro.
