*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #2

Thanks Dave. I find myself leaving the Canon gear at home these days unless it is a dedicated photo trip. As long as I can get reasonably close and there is good light, the RX is an amazing camera that doesn't make my shoulder hurt after holding it all day.

Pintail Burst by lennycarl08, on Flickr

Ed, great pintail burst.

Here's a big 8x10 white-tail buck that presented himself to me this evening, right after sunset:

Big Buck In Cattails by David Stephens, on Flickr

I'm using the Canon EF 500/f4 II, with the EF 1.4x TC-III, on the Sony a9, with a Metabones EF-to-E t-adapter MkV. Note, this is ISO 10,000. Both my Sony bodies are super at high-ISOs.

Itsed65 · 12-12-2017, 11:49 PM

I had all my big Canon gear with me, but my best shots lately are all coming from this amazing little Sony. I see an A9 in my future eventually, but financially, I will probably be waiting until the next generation.

We made an unplanned evening stop to Niagara last weekend. Unfortunately, I only had my cell phone with me. I see a return trip with something that gathers light better in my future.

I was thinking about a 6500, but your shots with the RX10MkIV have me scratching my head.

Great shot.

Josh, great Niagara shot.

Ed, love Stealth Bomber. That little Sony continues to amaze. I think my business partner will buy one soon. I may be next.

New guy here. I've had an account for awhile, but never got on or posted until a few days ago. There's some great pictures in this thread from everyone! Looking forward to hanging out here in the photography section a bit!

I'll end with a picture I took awhile back in Los Angeles. In the foreground is Hollywood and in the background is downtown LA.

Reflections After Sunset

Calm Reservoir At Sunset by David Stephens, on Flickr

Got a new lens, the FE 12-24mm f/4 G. I'll be retiring my Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II, if anyone is interested.

This was last night. There's ice at this spot this morning.

Here's another one from my Winter Solstice (almost) Sunset attempts.

This is a 5 shot HDR (-2 stops to +2 stops) processed in Photomatix Pro and finished in Photoshop.

Oh . . . and perhaps I should mention the little bit of fantasy

The light was decommissioned a few years ago and it always looked so good when you could capture the light as well.
So I thought I'd try this

Itsed65 · 12-24-2017, 06:08 PM

Best wishes to all

Was there any left, after Santa left? I know he loves all those things.

Merry Christmas.
