One of my favorites from last weekend

Here is one of my favorite pictures from last weekend photo shoot.

RF 200-800

Tony & Chelsea have reviewed the new Canon RF 200-800 Zoom lens. 

I think that is a good option but I prefer the RF100-500.

As a photographer you need to be prepared

As a wedding photographer, you need to be prepared for anything. Outdoor events, in particular, pose unique challenges since you have little control over the weather. If the couple decides to proceed with the ceremony despite unfavorable conditions, it’s your responsibility to adapt and carry on with your work. And this is what happened at this event.

I absolutely love this photo I captured a while back

This image evokes a peaceful and reflective mood, thanks to the soft, golden lighting and the subject’s contemplative posture. Here are some thoughts about the image:

1. Lighting and Atmosphere: The golden-hour lighting enhances the warm, serene atmosphere of the scene, with a gentle backlight creating a pleasing glow around the subject and the surrounding environment.

2. Composition: The subject is positioned on the wooden structure with ample negative space to the right. This creates a sense of solitude and draws attention to the lush natural surroundings. The soft blur in the foreground adds depth.

3. Subject and Emotion: The person leaning on the railing appears introspective, adding a narrative element. Their casual attire complements the natural, relaxed feel of the setting.

4. Technical Considerations: The background blur (bokeh) is beautifull, isolating the subject and emphasizing the tranquil setting.The photo was taken using a Canon R7 and a Zoom Lens EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, the use of a Zoom Lens add compression which give the picture an extra touch adding more details to the background.
   

5. Foreground Elements: The blurred plants in the foreground add a layer of depth re-enforcing the 3D effect.
   

Overall, to me, this is a strong image that captures a quiet moment in nature, with excellent use of lighting and composition to convey a peaceful mood.

R1 review by FStopper

 FStopper has published their review of the Canon R1 which you can read here. 

Their major complain, the 24 MP of this camera. And I ask, who needs more than 24 MP? And I ask them, are you planning to print billboard size banners or so? Otherwise, 24 MP is more than enough for 90 of the shooters out there. 

Compared to higher MP cameras, 24 MP images have manageable file sizes, making them easier to store, edit, and share without requiring excessive storage or powerful processing equipment. Images are easier to edit, especially on standard computers, as they don’t require the processing power and RAM needed for handling massive files from cameras with higher MP counts.

In short, a 24 MP camera strikes an excellent balance for amateur and professional photographers alike, delivering high-quality results without the trade-offs associated with either extremely high or very low resolutions.

If I have any complains about this camera is the price: $6300 before taxes. If anyone out there wants to donate one to me, for sure, I'm not going to complain about it's 24 MP.

Yes, it was taken using an iPhone
