I guess people post mostly when they have problems, so I thought I'd share a positive experience I've had, just for contrast. I do know that not everyone has it all go smoothly, but I did, so here's my story.Also I seem to see a lot of posts from pe...
This question comes up a lot, so I wrote an article explaining all the issues and combinations. Here it is:https://moonblink.info/MudLake/gear/lensesIt turned out a lot bigger than I wanted, but this turns out to be kind of a messy issue. Anyhow, the...
Canon just released firmware version 1.6 for the EOS R5; the big add in 1.6 is the new "Auto power off temp" option, with settings "Standard" and "High". Since the release, I've been testing how the new option affects overheating. It seems to be a bi...

If you're looking for software that has a specific feature to composite pictures of an eclipse into a sequence, then I think you're going to be out of luck. You need to use a photo editor and do this manually -- position each picture in turn to make...
Yes, that's a very nice sentiment and everything, but I really disagree here. You aren't going to get many chances to see a total solar eclipse in your lifetime, and if you try to dive into photographing the eclipse at the last minute, there's a ver...
Focus breathing is an optical property of the lens you're using. It has nothing to do with the camera, or with firmware; it's caused by the way the glass elements in the lens move when focussing. Some lenses have it more than others. Cine lenses a...
