Fun and hot time at the show in Sacramento...
113 on Friday practice and woke up to clouds the next day of the show...Clouds and I think 20 raindrops and a lot of wind for the show Saturday evening but was a dam good show and a fun time...Clouds on one end and patches of blue skies on the other end...Had a great time hanging out with jlambros and his family and got to shoot with Douglas Saturday night...Evening time was tricky to shoot and the smoke out of 10 planes was crazy and would hang around so long...A few...Show more →

Looking great, Bill!! It was truly a pleasure to shoot/meet with you and Jeff! As you know I went back to the show Sunday evening, better lighting than Saturday. I drove to Yosemite NP after the show, got there around 3:00 AM, napped in the car for about 2 hours before went out for the sunrise. Last night by the time I finished shooting sunset (just an OK one), it was already 9:00, I didn't want to drive 90 minutes at night on winding roads to find a hotel room outside the park, so I just found a place inside the park and slept in the car. I was really surprised I was able to sleep from 10:30 to 4::30 in the little Prius. I sleep for about the same length at home in my own bed. Maybe I was just too tired. Drove from Yosemite to L.A. after sunrise this morning. I will work on my files this weekend But I doubt they are anywhere nearly as good as yours.

Glad you're about done with your trip, can't wait to see what ya got, in all places. Glad the lighting was better next day, Friday was heat stroke and Saturday the weather was different every hour.

, but that made it a challenge and fun. Good luck getting back home safe

After an excruciating span of time with no information about Canon's new products, the flood gates are opening:

My intuition seems to be correct, the R1 looks very cool, but not for me personally. The R5II has a pleathora of new features that make a wonderful tool even better. One reviewer said that the II is a highly polished up version of the R5 and I think that accurately describes it. The ability to shoot 8K with new internal batteries is just one of the features, and eye controlled focus that exceeds the performance of the R3 is another.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on my II and running it through the traps. My guess is that I'll sell my R5 and add a second II. right be so good that I give buying the C400 a second thought, we'll see. Given the increased processing power the cooling grip seems like a no brainer. Kind of seems like the R5II is the real "flagship" of the Canon line up, but I'm sure that for some, the R1 will be an incredible tool.

Good Morning Boys!

I'm not sure when I'll get my first II, but the whispers that I'm getting lead me to believe it will be two weeks to a month at the outside. The set up will be the II, the new double capacity batteries and the cooling grip. I remember that the grip availability lagged a month when the R5 was released, we'll see how it goes this time.

Bill, as far as new features, one could say that the II isn't all that different when compared to the the R5, but if you go through the series of YouTube videos in the link that I posted I think that you will see that the improvements are substantial.

Ray, I think that having the R5C in the line up for you and I is a great thing due to the discreet still and cinema operating systems. I'd be willing to wager large on the fact that you will have at least one R5II in your hands sooner rather than later because of the refinements. The eye controlled focus alone will make it a smart choice for your subjects, no to mention the pre-roll feature and increased frame rate/lack of rolling shutter. The II is not the 80-100mp beast that Canon led us to believe would be their next offering, but given the thought that seems to have gone into the design of the II, I don't think we'll be disappointed.

Let's try to keep this a secret from Douglas............

if he gets any better I think I'm going to take up golf or something!

I'm off to wrap up the residential architectural assignments before the weather rolls in. I love this career, especially the fact that every day is something different, the variety keeps me fresh and constantly learning. The other day I was thinking about how frustrated I'd get in the early days when I couldn't figure out perspectives and lighting, it literally made me want to qive up. One factor was that I was biting off much more than I could chew with the equipment that I had at the time, lighting being a huge factor. I really thought that I'd never "get it", but then my personal style began to develop. Truthfully, if someone had gifted me all the lighting that I currently have when I was just starting out, it wouldn't have helped me at all. You have to work at it for a while and then you begin to realize where you need certain tools and what those tools need to be, then it gradually starts to come together. Sure has been an interesting journey, wouldn't trade it for anything.

All that white, including lights, starts to "conflict" your white balance. Masterful job here Jim!

I think the R5II is a solid offering, pretty much like the much more expensive Sony A1, it has some neat features the A1 doesn’t, like the pre capture in raw. the new sony A9III has it. but not the current A1, i am sure the A1II will have it and some other features that we don’t even know yet, they will be asking for $7000. the R5 II is priced reasonably, in my opinion

Thanks Douglas. Yes the R5II is nicely priced and will save me money with just adapters for my Canon lenses.

Looking forward to your air show and redwoods photography. Are you home yet? Hope not! It is MISERABLE here!
Thanks!
