Good morning all, I am Dave, ex-Canon, currently shooting a A7R5 and several lenses, mainly wildlife. I also use Fuji because I love their film sim options for travel and general stuff. Retired engineer and trade union official. Most of my shots are uploaded to FB and instagram, I don't have a website. I edit (very basic) using Luminar Neo and also use Topaz. Looking forward to sharing shots and joining discussions. Best wishes

When I was young I attended both places of worship, but the atmosphere was better at Anfield and Emlyn Hughes was from Barrow, so I follow the Reds. Barrow are the only blues that I follow - i was disappointed by their recent narrow 5-0 defeat by Chelsea.

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. I like the photograph you posted. Just to let you know, you can post full size images, not just thumbnails.

A couple of years ago I went to a kingfisher photography workshop in Staffordshire, and one of the other photographers was from Walney, like me.

Hi Richard, love the R5 but hate the file sizes Did up to recently consider switching to A1 but have resisted, the mk2 may sway me, and a few others I would imagine.

 

[Richard A]

Personally, I don’t have a problem with the 61mp files. Having said that I often shoot in compressed Raw. For my time lapse videos I have settled on medium lossless. The A1 doesn’t have anything important to me that the A7RV doesn’t have. In fact the A7RV has a few improvements & for A$3500 difference I got a 24-70 GMII & still had cash left over for other stuff.
