Photography

Shot on an old Nikon d5100, edited on photoshop. Had to scale the image to 25% of it's original size as i dont want to waste 50mb on people's instances.

The front image is a comparison of my new lens and old lens on the same settings from a tripod with a little lighting, it's an adorable platelet figure from 働く細胞 which is a great cute manga or anime series if you looking for a new one!

I recently got back into photography, I like to take photographs of aircraft overhead, I haven't been to an airshow yet but I think that would be fun.

Anyhow, I've been taking photos with a very old canon 600D my grandfather used to own. I have been using a Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 LD Di Lens. But it's basically dead as the zoom control doesn't even work but I did manage to take a couple pictures with it!

But what just arrived was a Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.5 DG OS Lens which is a nice small upgrade since it has image stabilisation and a much sharper image possible! So hopefully I can get some nice pictures with it soon! Sadly weather hasn't been good yet and nothing cool has flown over :(

This is just a upgrade I'm doing so I actually have a usable lens while I save for what a really want, a Sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens or even a Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens.

Hopefully I'll get some nice pics real soon! Thanks for reading

I'm pretty sure this is Choke Cherry (Northern Ontario), but if it's something else, please let me know!

Sometimes all you find are common birds and you can't always get close to them to get a good framing. This is my experiment on minimalism.

I'm growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its "scene referred pipeline" took some time, but now that I'm getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom.

Combined with digiKam, which is excellent for photo collection management, I'm a very happy photographer :)

He's apparently been a nuisance in the nearby gardens. Pictured here plotting his next move I do believe.

Unfortunately there was a shadow from the branch in front, so I did my best to adjust that in post. I had just showed up and wasn't really ready with the camera. Was able to snap a couple shots before he/she took off.

What do you think about the tri-photo format? I think it looks cool, but not sure what others think.

New camera, nube photographer.

In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center?

Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

First up yes I'm a camo nerd. Metal Gear Solid 3 awakened something in me! Anyway every now and then I take different camo patterns into the woods and take photos as a reference to help people choose what works best for them. This one, Pencott Wildwood looks way too brown in most photos. Check it out!

But with the selfie cam it looks a lot closer to how it does in person

Maybe it's just the phone software that's only used in the main camera? I've messed with some of the settings with no luck. Here's a closer view of the pattern to show you what it's like up close

Any theories?
