Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Wouldn't that be awesome! I'd love to give an underwater drone a try ❤️

Ha! Be careful what you wish for 😂 Hope the video was helpful though.

Absolutely, I love to do two exposures and combine them in post processing to bring out some of the details in the foreground while maintaining the colour in the sky. Just go lightly, and brush in some of the detail from the longer exposed image. You don't want to take it so far that it looks unnatural. Also, make sure you use a tripod! Have fun, it is beautiful there.

I would have considered using a Muddy Waters soundtrack.

Thank you so much for your kind words Vaclav, it means a lot to me! ❤️

Thank you so much Valerie, I appreciate the kind feedback. Next year I should be able to get around better and I hope to hike in a bit and then get my drone in even further. It's absolutely gorgeous as is the Valley of Fire.

Much appreciated, thank you!

You are most welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much Julio, I really appreciate it!

It was the G2 - it is in the description (buried somewhere in the middle). Hope your lens turns out great. I know there are good ones out there.

So what is that a 5mp 6mp tops? Body, and given this was 2004, thats being both highly optimistic, and or highly high-end for the day. Heck FWIW I don't even think the 1D was even Full Frame at that time either, as the 5D (Mark the nothingth.) Wouldn't even be out until a year later. And, that had what 12mp? Ok at least you could resolve an A4 sheet on that.

@@Ichijoe2112 It wasn't the high end model or the highest resolution one but it works well. I have many 8x12 prints that look fantastic up close and have viewed them at even larger sizes. I even got payed jobs in 2024 with it and no one ever knew it was old or low resolution. They were all blown away by the quality and detail.

@@fixedfocusmediaofficial Yeah I am aware of that. Little dirty secret about Megapixels, at least as far as FF goes, most 'Normies' (I should jolly well indeed include myself as such.), can do most of our work well enough in exactly 6mp. Anything above that is just space to let you zoom in, and crop, and still walk out with a usable image. Well that, and Marketing hype. Funny though that Camera Sensors, haven't seemed to have moved on very much since the 5DRs though. Or how people are equating their 1cm 50mp sensor on their Phones with a 50+MP 35mm sensor on an actual Camera. Not banging on your Body, but it's also why you really wouldn't use such a lens as this, or indeed one of the infamous papayatzee Canon L Primes on an APS-C Body the compactness of all those Megapixels will not only screw you over, trying to work out the Maths in you head. (If your a 35mm Dinosaur-brained dimwit, like me), but also work the resolution of your lens to the near breaking point. .

@@Ichijoe2112 It is a crop sensor camera. I do have some much nicer lenses for it too but it doesn't need them as much as my higher resolution camera body. It still picks up magnificent amounts of detail with a nice lens though. I believe in getting the best lenses I can for all my cameras and it definitely makes a huge difference.

@@fixedfocusmediaofficial I agree get good glass, and graduate to a better body after you mastered the last one. Or, you're just tired of having to face 'round with crop factors. That's what drove me off APS-C. Sometimes I just want to live in a perfect 1:1 world, where 50mm is 50mm and not a 50mm with an 85mm FoV.

I've never used Helicon Focus so I can't give you a recommendation there, sorry.

Did we ever stop to wonder exactly which version of the 150-600 was in dispute here, are are we exposing our G2 expectations on what was likely the original eleven herbs, and spices edition, which was widely known to be a bit sh17 compared to the closet Sigma Contemporary, at the time? 🤔
