Brisbane had a pretty big storm on Saturday afternoon. This is the storm front moving north over the northern suburbs of Brisbane.

The Canon EOS Ra is aimed at the Astrophotography community. It's main difference compared to the normal R model is the moddification on sensor IR filtering to produce better images for deep nebulae. "Positioned in front of the CMOS imaging sensor, The EOS Ra's infrared-cutting filter is modified to permit approximately 4x as much transmission of hydrogen alpha rays at the 656nm wavelength, vs. [ 236 more words ]

The Panasonic S1 sensor is awesome, I suspect in part as it uses the same Sony sensor the A7III uses. There is not a lot difference between the tested results for these cameras. The S1R is, well, different. The first sign there is no shared sensor with any Sony camera is the MP count. Sitting at 47.3 it is quite unique in the 40MP+ space. [ 250 more words ]

"Half Half Dome Face", For some reason I really like this shot, I think it's the lighting, where the trees on the face had just started to get morning sun. It also shows just how huge Half Dome is.

There has been a lot chatter about the A7 mark 3. Both the previous models were excellent low light performers, although there was some discussion in the Astro community they were eating stars. With the introduction of a BSI sensor could this be the camera for you? Having recently tested the Panasonic S1 I was very interested to see how the A7 III performs, as most people are saying it's currently a 2 horse race between these two cameras. [ 321 more words ]

A friend of mine recently purchased an S1, so it was time to test. I must say I'm pretty impressed. The low light sensitivity is generally one par with the Nikon Z6 for what most would consider "Sport" low light photography. Even Dx0 only shows a 4 point (0.011%) improvement on the Z6. Depending on the body you get it could easily fall either way. [ 236 more words ]

There have been at least two Upper Antelope Canyon shots sold for over 1 Million. I think the last sold for 1.6 Million. But I'm not greedy. Considering offers over 1 Mil for "The Flame" ;)

The next big shot from the Canyon? Offers over one million considered ;) How good is the D750, 12800 ISO handheld at 1/30.

Canon have improved the sensors in the EOS R and RP. The R sensor is based on the same sensor we see in the 5D mark 4, and the RP is based on the same sensor in the 6Dm2 and Canon have managed to squeeze a little more out of both for some good results. EOS-RP v's 6D mark II … [ 395 more words ]
