I'd love to see businesses put their money where their mouth is.

So it's been some time since I last printed on my cloggy Epson, you all know how this goes, but I was happily surprised when I saw the results, now if you'd excuse me I'm going to "power flush" it. As a start, have you seen ants as clear as this one? Think bokeh's overrated? Try more context...

Here are the first shots I've taken with the newly arrived Tamron 17-70 2.8, I'm really impressed by how confident and reliable the auto focus is, even in very low light.

I have my monitor and printer calibrated and the output from them match pretty well almost all the time. The problem is, I think, due to the more limited dynamic range of printing with my Epson L805, unless I'm viewing the photo with very good light source, low key photos usually don't look...

I've got this from this morning

Start Date Aug 3, 2020 End Date Aug 24, 2020 The 36th Cameraderie Challenge theme is: dominant colours. My apologies if the theme had been covered before, which I can't find. As usual, this challenge will consider originality, technical merit, and artistic vision. In my mind, the most...

First I have to point out China is not a coffee drinking nation, therefor it's not as usual you'd get a tasteful cuppa as you get something drinkable from the fast food chain. There's the nice bakery my coworker and I sometimes go to during our break, where they serve Americano, cappuccino and...

That's right, the lens that many own but not talked about, I'll start with this.

The end is (probably) nigh: After almost 22 years, Imaging Resource is set to wind down in early 2020 It's a bad news, I don't know how many of you read IR but when it comes to gear review it's my favourite site, not even "one of". I don't know what to say, just sad.

I know some people prefer the name "chicken", but that sounds too much like food to me :-p Just joking, I call them chicken too, and here they are.

Slightly cropped, both taken with the 30 1.4 stopped down, lens firmware upgraded to the v03 and AF is about the same or faster than the Sony 50mm 1.8 OSS lens, which is not ideal for fast moving subjects.

Does anybody have experience with fully electronic 3rd party lens on Sony bodies, if a lens like for example the Sigma 30 1.4, provides embedded correction profile, does the live view apply distortion correction? I'm not asking about jpg or raw corrections, but the live view as that will affect...

This was the first lens I got for my Sony system. I took this photo at the subway during peak hour, the lady wearing a speaker probably has got the easiest job, to tell people to wait for the next train, luckily we don't have those "pushers" you see in Japan or even Beijing these days. Here she is.

You might know those things that no reviews ever cover but can really make a camera system undependable for certain types of work, and when you ask, people tell you "that's what manual mode's for", or "that's just the way it is", it shouldn't have to be. And TTL flash has long been the worst...

I'll start with one I took today with the a6400. I'm a little surprised that besides maintaining excellent contrast and sharpness, this lens seems to deliver neutral colours, and I'm skeptical about Sony colours.

Hi folks, why let FF gets all the fun? Let's see your Sony APS-C images. I got my a6400 yesterday and I'll start with one I took for testing the animal eye AF, it works even on a wandering dog. Now please show us yours.

Sold my Canon, got the Sony, no, let me rephrase that in the correct order. I already hate the Sony colours. Bought the Sony a6400 and 50 1.8 OSS to see if the animal eye af is as good as I wanted, ended up going out in a rainy day today to sell all my Canon gears and was originally set out to...

I've read people complaining about Sony's stop down focus accuracy issue, unlike Canon that opens up the aperture fully during AF, Sony stops down the lens during continuous AF if you set a smaller aperture value for capturing, e.g. studio work. The reason being Sony does this to avoid heavy...

Hi folks, here we have the final one for SiJy 2019, it's been an amazing experience for me. Let's see your photos. Here's mine, I realised after I came home to process the photo when I took a look at the details, that this street rehearsal was probably for their Army Day (1st Aug.) performance...

Hi folks, tomorrow we will have the final SiJy 2019 thread, hope you're saving the best for the last. Here's my picked one today.

Hi folks, Day 29. Many of us now, me included, are living in such a weather that's not helpful for anything, I thought I'd not be able to shoot anything outdoor today but decided I could at least do "minimal shooting, maximum post processing". So here it is, clearly overdone.

Hi folks, Day 28, only three more days to go, let's see your photos. My friend's 2 years old son loves to pose while eating blueberry, he checks his photos after I took them.

Hi folks, Day 27, I'm proud to share my work today, messy and lazy, taking a photo of the photos I took along with the tools used to create them, what a nice loop, didn't even bother cleaning the desk. Anyway, it's got context, here it is, didn't even edit the raw.

Hi folks, Day 26 thread here, let's see your photos. Very hazy today and I took three shots to make a panorama, faked the sun and reflections, hope tomorrow can get a better weather.

Hi folks, post your photos to the 25th. This is mine, I spent too much time on this one and wasn't really sure how to get it right, so here it is.

Hi folks, Day 24, we are almost there. Here's mine, I find it easier to take photos NOT during the day.:D

Hi folks, your photos please!

Hi Folks, hope you've all enjoyed a nice weekend. I took this one with my M50 and 32 prime when I was doing some interval shooting with the 40D. Update: here's the link to the final result of the 40D shot.

Hi Folks, 10 more days to go. Here's mine today.

Hi folks, post your chosen ones and have a great weekend. Here's mine, this is a place I've always wanted to photograph and I hope this time it works.

Hi folks, let's see your photos for Day 19. I'll start with mine, too tired today to be any more creative than this, a last minute snap.

Hi folks, Day 18 thread here, I'll start with mine. This is my third attempt following the last two days, hope it's getting better. I learned the potato dish from a YouTube video last night, and it definitely doesn't taste any worse than the photo shows.

Hi folks it's Day 17, let's see your photos. i tried yesterday's genre the 2nd time and it's with my M50 and 32 prime.

Hi folks hope you're all doing great. My challenge today has gone a little unexpected. Originally I shot something (boring) with the M50 and 32 prime that I'll share later in the outtakes thread, and then this video got my attention and had been my source of inspiration for my challenge today...

Hi folks, we have reached the 15th. It's been challenging for me but fun, let's see what you've got. Here's mine, it's been raining here today and I had nowhere to go, luckily my willing model insisted we take a few shots and after some tweaking, here's how it looks.

Hi Folks, Day 14. Sorry I had to shoot today's photo with the camera that was available to me, my phone, however with the square mode I was shooting in it's a similar FOV to the standard prime I chose for the challenge. OK, enough excuses, here it is, edited with LR on Android.

Solved! Turns out the Epson L805 is really nothing but a budget product, the solution is a forced installation of R330 driver and let PS do the colour management, and now I can sleep knowing I didn't throw away nearly 300 Dollars. With the R330 driver alone it behaves more reasonably than its...

Hi folks, another weekend has come, hope we all get good ones to show. Here's mine, I have a few others that I've worked on harder to get right however this one takes more luck to get, and also looks more interesting to me. I had to do some perspective correction which doesn't look too obvious...

Hi Folks, here's the Day 12 thread, I know I'm not the one to judge but I can definitely see the photos getting better, keep them coming. Mine today, for a few days already I've been editing raw files on Lightroom for Android, quite usable. I missed focus on this one, was originally aiming at...

Hi folks, 20 more days to go, I'm not bored with the gear of choice fortunately. Let's see your lovely photos. Mine today has to be cropped a lot.

Hi folks, Day 10 is here, let's see your photos. Here's mine, I call it the "tree house". Edited with LR on Android, then synced and exported to the desktop, I hope the colour isn't too far off.

Hi folks, it's the ninth day, and 9 is 3 times the charm! Here's mine, Nino always brings me happiness no matter what happens in the day.

Hi folks, it's the first day in the second week, hope you're all doing very well. My photo today is heavily post processed, shot with my M50 and 32 1.4 at f/5.0, this lens can focus really close, a versatile choice for the challenge. I took my computer apart to clean dusts and this is the...

Hi Folks, sorry I have to post the Day 7 thread a lot earlier than usual since I'm occupied later today, take your time and have fun. As part of my weekly routine, I get lazy on the weekend and that means minimal efforts spent on shooting, and lots more post processing. This is what I've got...

Hi folks, Day 6 is here. I'm posting on the go as it seems suitable for my photo story today. Photo shot with M50 32 1.4, camera JPG. 2019 is in my opinion, the year that our "post-internet" lifestyle matured. Motorbike delivery diversified, meal, fresh, flowers, medicine, grocery or even...

Hi folks, it's the fifth in a row, thanks to Matt we now have two spin-off threads one for discussion and the other you can post your silver and bronze ones to. Have fun. Here's mine, with the originally planned M50+32mm 1.4. With limitations comes my action to work on my years old to-do list...

Hi folks, the 4th thread is here, anyone feeling the pressure? I can't do without dogs or changing lenses. Here's mine, falling back into my comfort zone fast. Shot with the 40D and EF 85mm 1.8 USM lens.

Hi folks I'm doing this a little earlier than usual today, please take your time. Here's mine. 3 days, 3 lenses, this one's shot with the 40D and 24mm 2.8 STM lens, I cloned out other people to bring emphasis to the remaining.

Hi challengers, I know many of you are still enjoying your bright sunny July 1st, I'm posting the Day 2 challenge and as always, you make it shine. Here's mine. My original plan for another product photography didn't work, but I'm having great fun with the 12 years old Canon 40D. This one's...
