The RF 100-500mm is my first choice. There are less expensive options like the 600mm and the 800mm but I really love the 100-500mm for wildlife.

Great video Kathy and insights. Trying to decide between the derby and the international atm. The extra wheels seem cumbersome but they appear to win the roller experience. The international is a bit more "stiff" whereas the derby seems more flexible, which I prefer. Also interested in the (green-ish looking) pouches that you use ... where are they sourced? I'm in Australia.
@KathyAdamsClarkАй бұрын
@kathysportfilmphoto thanks for the comment. The green pouches are from LensCoat (lenscoat.com/) They are called Lens Pouches. Love the. The International is big. I've touched it a few times during my trips. It's bigger than the Roller Derby so be aware that it can be heavier. I love the Airport Advantage because it's lighter. The Roller Derby is my second choice. Let me know what you finally decide!

@@KathyAdamsClark thanks for the reply. Went with the International. Good for storage. Not sure how much it will get used on the road because I have the Advantage too and smaller bags are great as I get older. The Canon RF lenses are chunky and mobility takes bit of thinking & planning. Will see how it goes. The lens pouches look fab, thanks for the info.

To apply the same changes to a selected group of photos in Lightroom Classic, in the Library module, select the images you want to edit. Switch to the Develop module. At the bottom of the right panel, click the tiny switch to turn on AUTO SYNCH. If you don't turn on auto synch, then only the picture you see in the preview in Develop will be changed. The remaining selected photos will not be changed. When you are finished with editing all the photos, be sure to TURN OFF AUTO SYNCH or Lightroom Classic will continue to apply all the same settings to the next group of pictures you select.

Hi, Ms. Clark! I just discovered and subscribed to your channel; lovely info. - - thank you! 2 Questions as to the R6M2... I prefer to shoot primarily birds, some other wildlife... have a Canon 7DM2, and more recently shoot with Canon's 90D... most frequently with Canon's 100-400mm IS ultrasonic lens along with the extender 1.4 III - - great images, and if cropping is required, still gr8 - - However, the R6M2 is quite appealing for wildlife. Would you recommend the R6M2 using Canon's adapter (for use with my EF lenses? ... already in-hand, quite a few, like the 100-400mm 4.5-5.6 L IS II, and the similar 70-200mm L lens, and others ) If to spend more $$ - - ?much better may be the R6M2 with the RF 100-500mm 4.5-7.1 L IS for most "go to" bird uses?? (and having the adapter on hand for use with EF lenses, worthwhile?) Much appreciated! Be well, be happy!!
@KathyAdamsClark3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind comments @BanyanRanchStudios. Appreciate it! A friend recently switched to the R6ii and he said the auto focus "is like a heat seeking missile." I have to agree. I'm always going to recommend that you put the new RF lenses on the R cameras. That's new technology on new technology. The combination of new technology is always going to work better. So, yes, if you can afford it, put the RF 100-500mm, RF 1.4x, and R6ii together. That combination is amazing for bird and wildlife photography. An adapter will work. It does pretty well. Go with that if that is your option based on finances. My recommendation is to sell the old equipment to finance the new. Photographers will gladly buy your older equipment. It's good! I hope that helps!

I often start out with Auto and then modify the settings to suit my taste. I'm curious to know why you always use Texture and increase saturation. I understand here's no wrong way to do this. I almost never use those settings in my processing except to use the Dehaze filter to increase mid-tone contrast on occasion. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the commment @DavidSwarthout I used to start with Clarity, Vibrance, and Saturation but the Texture slider was so much better.

@frednorman1 thanks for the comment. Both have an outside pocket for a 15" laptop. I'd never travel that way, though. Once the bag is loaded, add the laptop in the laptop pouch, and. . . The laptop is pressed pretty tight against the contents of the bag. It looks to me that the laptop is going to get broken. I've never tried it but it doesn't look right to me. I put my laptop in the small backpack on my back when I travel. So the answer is "yes" there is an outside pocket.

Hello Kathy, please forgive me for being off subject from your video, but I was hoping to catch your attention. At 68 years old, I’m a brand new photographer and I just bought a Canon R6 Mark 2 and am currently waiting for my back-ordered 200-800 Cannon lens to come in. I know just enough about shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to get myself in trouble. I was wondering if you use back button focus and if I should even worry about it in my learning the camera for bird photography. I have decided to only use full manual mode from the start to hopefully grasp the fundamentals and build on a good foundation and go from there. I’ve also heard that manual with auto ISO is a good choice. I appreciate your videos and your instructional style, which make it easy to follow along. I have tons to learn but have decided to jump in with both feet and your channel has encouraged me to give even the small things my full attention. Any basic recommendations at this point in my journey would be appreciated. All the very best. Joe
@KathyAdamsClark5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind comment, @JdilpkleRS Yes, I totally believe in using Manual mode until you feel very comfortable choosing f/stop, shutter speed, ISO for bird photography. (I teach a Basic Photography class online that concentrates on this.) Regarding back button focus, it all depends on your hands. My hand didn't work well with back button focus on the DSLR cameras. My thumb was busy moving the focus point around on the DSLR cameras so it was occupied. On the R6ii, my hand hits that button very well. My thumb doesn't have to do many other tasks so back button focus works well for me. Back button focus all depends on your hands and the egonomics of the camera. Good question!

Hi Kathy, thank you very much for your detailed video. New version of Bridge and ACR has many new features that I've seen for the first time. Your video was VERY helpful. I have one question though, and there is no answer in your video.. In the Camera Raw Preferences, Workflow tab - you have set Space to "Display P3" value. Could you pls explain why you prefer this color space? Thanks a lot!
@KathyAdamsClark5 ай бұрын
Good question, @duboweek. I used to use Adobe RGB as my color space. A year or so ago, I switched to Display P3. The greens and reds are supposed to be more vibrant. Most of my work is seen on a screen by my editors, students, and creatives. I project most of my work during programs on large screen TVs versus the older digital projectors. I rarely print an image so don't need that color space. Publishers convert the color spaces on my images to meet the needs of their projects so my processing color space isn't a big concern to them. So for me, the Display P3 color space works. Change that to the color space that meets your needs.

In P, a lot of menus and functions are grayed out or not visible at all. Features you paid for are gone because you're in the P mode. Learn how to shoot in TV, AV, and M so that you have total control of your camera and have all the features you paid for." Hope that helps and thanks for the completely valid question.
