ISO 6400 in my quite dark home office this morning. Shooting at f2.2 helps too of course.

I took this on my kayak, floating past my dock a couple weeks ago. I love the finger lakes.

Thanks, I have so many of these pics that I wish I had my dslr for instead of taking on my shitty blackberry phone cam.

Taken from my Phantom 3 4k drone.

I tended to bring full on canon kits or fuji kits with me on vacation. I bought an x70 for it's pocketability (esp for an aps-c sensor size) and instant posting abilities(these images were out of snapseed, didn't get around to full LR/PS editing yet, hence the slightly low res). i slapped the wclx70 on it which gives it a 21mm equivalent FOV which for stuff like this is fantastic.

I always tended to shoot primes except for with my UWA or my 70-200 so i was fine with just 2 focal lengths.

dcstep · 10-20-2016, 08:58 AM

Wow! I didn't look for a few hours and there are tons of beautiful pictures up.

I want to particularly congratulate Alan on 50-years of wedded bliss. She's still a beautiful lady.

The more I play around with this secondary auto focus setting on a different button for auto point selection, the more I like it with the caveat that it is only for certain situations. I have now set up the * button on my 7D2 the same as my 5dIV. You hit the * button and it starts with your pre-selected point, then the camera takes over and tracks for you.

Wow, right on my way home today not 5 minutes from my house (not to mention 5 minutes from a high school and Trader Joes! Shot with what I had in the car, my 7D2 with an all in one Sigma on it, that I usually use for trains.
