This one came up today, might kick this off again. https://thedriven.io/2020/04/06/li-ion-co-inventor-patents-glass-battery-that-could-upturn-auto-industry/

A bit of rain over night and the front yard here had mushrooms popping up all over it, So a good four hours later I had several variations of at least nine different mushrooms today, so I went a little wild with gels, this one less so. So some …

Another Autumn flower shot from the front garden, a Smaller Grevillea, but of water spray and bit of lighting. its only about 20mm (3/4") so little one.

Sorry to say @StephenL I haven’t got any UV set up to give it a go, so for now just playing with normal lighting, it’s on that rather long one day list. Thou under the current global situation one day maybe sooner than we all think. For now I don’t …

Staying put at home these days so no trips to the botanic gardens for a while, but that doesn't mean no photography, This was taken in the front garden today, a little Flannel flower.  Lighting, two speedlites main on the flower, and a second on …

This weeks post is taken a week ago with the current situation down here now, only leave the house for work and food shopping, next week working from home we are rostered one week home one week on site now, though looks like that will change …

This ones the image most people will take. its right in front of you from the car park, it has the sign etc, but the background is not great for the shot. Just like today the current situation is not great but theres hope down the path. Look after …

Australia is slowly crawling to a lockdown. Bit by bit we are feeling the various effects of the virus on our daily lives. Be it people friends we know getting struck down by the virus itself or just the effects of no longer being able to go out to …

Things are a little slower down here, Work is still going on as normal for most, I'm still at work five days a week, thou from tomorrow they are spliting the workforce so half at the site and half from home and each week they will rotate so the …

Taken today in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan. The area I take these is one of the areas of the gardens very few people visit, no one was there when I took these today.

The articulated screen is a definite plus, I have it on my 60d but sorely miss it on my 5D4 and 7D2, when you have the tripod up high or down low the articulated screen really comes in handy.  I’d really be hard pressed to buy a new DSLR without …

Autumn here down in the Southern Hemisphere here now, so I can start to add to this feed now. We don't get the big colour changes with the trees here as most of our trees here keep their leaves during winter, in summer the trees shed their bark …

This ones about 40mm high, which is about the average hight of the mushrooms I shoot some are smaller.

Yes looks like they are throwing everything at the R5, Animal tacking as well, inbody stabilasation as well, One to watch as Canon built up the hype with the drip feed of specs, But certainly sounding good so far. We just await and see, I suspect …

Yes the last of the fires were put out by the rains that brought the flooding. We've actually had some good rains here for the last few weeks with some most weeks, some of the rivers in western New South Wales are just starting to flow for the …

Another good morning Fungi wise in the Australian Botanic Gardens this morning, managed to find a few to shoot, not so many people about today, a shower before I left home and rain from about 2:00 pm onwards probably put a dampener on most people …

looks like there maybe a firmware fix coming up soon with the delay hopefully before they ship. https://www.canonrumors.com/reports-of-the-canon-eos-1d-x-mark-iii-going-to-sleep-briefly/

Bit of rain here last Thursday bought all the Mushrooms out again, so a good day shooting mushrooms again here today, So a good collection for the day. This one's a plain simple one, so add a bit of soft lighting and a bit of post-processing magic …

The still Images of the birds cut into the Video worked well, it was good to see all the bird Species you found, compared to the ones I'm familiar with down here in the land of Oz, Some were similar while others we just don't get here, So comparing …

Last day of Summer here yesterday, so now officially Autumn in the Land of Oz. this one Was shot yesterday so technically still a summer shot. Taken in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan, South west of Sydney, This Botanic gardens only has …

The only Mushroom I managed to find today. Looks like some one found it first.

Intersting conversation goes for 47 minutes, its also part two. Interview with Michael E Mann as part of a Juice Media Podcast. https://youtu.be/EfGQI98liVw

Another Real world review this time Fro with 1DXmkIII Vs Sony a9 II. Certainly not the best way to hold a camera, the sony they could have held normal where as the canon has to be held this way. https://youtu.be/VaYQ5yphhsE

For a 1DXmkIII or the R5 I'm be replacing my 7dmkII for Bird photography with a long lens currently the sigma 150-600 usually at 600. So at times lowish light and certainly erratic movement. I wouldn’t be parting with any money until I physically …

Looks great, be interesting to see if the same auto focus makes the R5 Still need to see the full R5 specs before working out which way to jump, no doubt the 1DXmkIII is a ripper, its down to how much of this they put in the R5. Either way the …
