    Canon users -are RF lenses worth the premium for hobbyists?

    I recently replaced my Canon 70D and 60D with a pair of R7s. I am looking to buy a 50mm 1.8 and a 10-18mm. The used RF versions of both are significantly more than their EF equivalents. I already own a RF to EF adapter. For someone who shoots for a hobby, is the quality of the EF versions good...

    Wasn't that helpful, as his software didn't actually work for me!

    Automatic tagging of cars and bikes

    I have had some success uploading a copy of the race results, a photo and a car number to Google Gemini and asking it to produce instagram titles in my desired format. I have also asked it to commit the process to memory so that I can upload the files with "Generate instagram titles" for it to...

    Automatic tagging of cars and bikes

    Having read the guide, I see I would have to pay for a Google Gemini account. Is there a risk of unwittingly running up a huge bill, like renting Amazon servers can do?

    Automatic tagging of cars and bikes

    It could be my system - it won't recognise my 1080 as an NVIDIA GPU. But I wonder if the reason why it isn't go live on Steam on 25 December is that there is an issue. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option to go back to a previous version. Nor does there appear to be an archive of...

    Automatic tagging of cars and bikes

    Tried this this morning, following the instructions provided, and I am sorry to say it didn't work at all. The first time I ran it, all it came up with for every image was "A scene or environment". When I stopped it and tried to run it again, it just hung on a single image and did nothing. I've...

    Automatic tagging of cars and bikes

    Tagomatic was supposed to launch on steam in December, but the link on the website doesn't go to anything. Did it not launch, as only the lite version is available. Where can I get this any vision.

    Canon R7 and R8

    R7 and R8 are the same price on Cotswold Cameras - £769. A used R6 II is out of my price range.

    Canon R7 and R8

    I have a Sigma 10-20, and going wider than that is mind blowing!

    Canon R7 and R8

    I have shot with a Canon 70D and 60D for many years. Before Christmas, I replaced the 60D with a Canon R7. I shoot predominantly motorsport and landscapes/urban. I am saving now to replace the 70D (which is currently my second body) and I am in a dilemma about whether to get another R7 or an R8...

    New camera!

    I have probably tripped over him, as it is my local. The thing is positively tiny compared to the 70D with a battery grip attached.

    New camera!

    Merry Christmas everyone! I have finally replaced my ten year old Canon 70D today with a Canon R7. Looking forward to finding out if the autofocus is as good as the hype suggests. The 70D will stay on as my second body.

    How do you carry your gear at the circuit?

    I am interested to know how everyone carries their motorsport photography gear at the track? I flip between a rucksack/a shoulder bag/a vest and belt depending on how bad my back is, with two bodies hung off a leather harness that my wife bought me from Estonia. I always carry too much gear...

    Flickr making another play to "entice" people to go Pro?

    I am not a fan of home NASs. I wouldn't leave any electrical equipment running when I leave the house, as it is a fire risk.

    Flickr making another play to "entice" people to go Pro?

    Mission Motorsport is a fantastic organisation! Clubbing together to buy a group Flickr account is a great idea!
