I use cRAW rather than full RAW on my R5 so the file size is 17MB rather than 45MB - much easier to handle and no discernable loss in image quality! Russ :)

I took these shots for my son. Natural light, standard zoom lens at 80mm, F13, 1/320s hand held: Russ

...you obviously now need an R3 with it's vehicle focus feature!! ;) Russ

That's one hell of a hit rate, Tim (y) Russ

Firmware Version 1.4 now available for R5 and R6. It contains some useful improvements for stills as well as video. For those into bird photography, this video from "Whistling Wings" explains the improvements for birds-in-flight shots: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJgTQ2JeUt4&t=5s...

I believe Kevin @cruso is using that macro lens with his R5. Russ

I made the move from 1DX2 to R5 and, although it took a little time to become familiar with the mirrorless parameters, the move for me was amazing with the animal eye AF for tracking in-flight birds. Go for it (y) Russ

I feel your pain, Les :) - but do you really have to cancel your trip for the sake of a missing monopod? Russ

I've voted yes to a subscription (and I'm a Yorkshireman ;)) on condition that TP removes the Like button from the Photo Genre sections to encourage more critique of images. Russ

Never a truer word spoken, Roger :plus1: Russ

Another big thank you from me Marcel for all the hard work and commitment you and the various team members have given willingly over the years. TP has become a big part of my on-line activities, and if it were to disappear completely it would leave a big hole in my bird photography life! It's...

- it would have been nice if the latest R5/6 FW upgrade had included a facility to have an adjustable ES shutter speed (rather than being permanently at 20fps) and also had introduced a simulated shutter sound for ES (rather than absolute silence). It's alarming how many exposures I take in ES...

Still experimenting with the R5 + adapted Canon 400mm DO F4 ii lens for moon shots. This single frame taken on 24/03/21 with Canon x1.4 TC iii attached, and tripod mounted. Processed through Lightroom CC and Topaz DeNoise AI: R5; 560mm; ISO 1250; F/5.6; 1/800s Russ

Paul, I use Lightroom CC on a new Windows desktop PC. I moved from a 10 year old PC earlier this year and find that LR now really flies. My new PC spec is nothing special (Intel i5 6-core 106000; 32GB DDR4; 4TB hard disc and 2x SSDs). I put the LR application itself onto the fast SSD (Samsung...

- Although my shots are mainly of wildlife, I remain permanently in Servo for all my static and moving shots. I see no reason to use One Shot at all, because even a posed person/ animal can move slightly. Russ
