Sunday was one of those days. The morning photography session was not too good. I did not do any work on the R5 Camera User’s Guide. I did not do any work on the RawDigger Guide (though I did get the information that I needed from Patrick to go forward. I did not do my bursts. And I did not do my swim. I was a couch-bum all day. All of the NFL teams I was rooting for lost. <\/p>\n
Today — Monday 28 December — is a new day and I am up and at ’em. I will be working long and hard on both guides today. <\/p>\n
This blog past makes eleven days in a row with a new blog post.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I sold the last of my remaining Nikon gear to a single buyer: the 70-200mm f\/4 VR and the Sigma f\/2.8 150mm Macro Lens for Nikon mount. <\/p>\n

I felt it was much sharper than all versions of the Canon 24-105 lenses. And the VR allowed me to create sharp images handheld at silly-low shutter speeds like 1\/8 second. This one sells new for $1,096.95 so you can save a very cool $697.95 by purchasing William’s lens.<\/em> artie<\/p>\n All three images in this Photo Mechanic screen capture were created on 3 November 2020 at the Laguna Seca Ranch<\/a> in Hidalgo County, TX. I used the Induro<\/a> GIT 404L\/Levered-Clamp FlexShooter Pro<\/a>-mounted Sony FE 600mm f\/4 GM OSS lens<\/a>, the Sony FE 1.4xteleconverter<\/a>, and the 61-MP Sony Alpha a7R IV Mirrorless Digital Camera Body.<\/a> ISO 800. Exposure determined by Zebras with ISO on the rear dial: 1\/2000 sec. at f\/5.6 in Manual mode. AWB at 7:56am on a sunny morning. <\/p>\n Tracking Flexible Spot (M)\/AF-C was active at the moment of exposure and performed to perfection.
