Much of my thinking was affected by things like this, but I have to say that I didn't see actually it before pulling the trigger. Note that she uses a polarizer. ;-) I'll have to see how fast the ungodly expensive one I bought really is. I have a monopod, but dunno if that would be stable enough if I need really long exposures with the polarizer... We'll see how it does with Jpegs. I have shot some RAW stuff (and know the importance of it for PSing), but I haven't seen the benefit with it in my (extremely limited) workflow yet. Such as it is. Thanks for the exposure cheat sheet. :-) I can't pick where the sun will be on these trips - J's itinerary isn't based on best natural illumination for wherever we're going. :-/ ;-) Cheers, Scott.

You see a lot of monopods at motor racing events, frample. ETA: pro tog in "takes incredible pictures" shocker! Edited by pwhysall May 5, 2018, 04:36:29 PM EDT Expand All History

Thanks for all the info. - (Another Scott) - (3) - May 1, 2018, 08:29:11 AM EDT

A polariser will not fix your exposure issues - (pwhysall) - (2) - May 1, 2018, 08:59:51 AM EDT

We've talked about some of this before. - (Another Scott) - (1) - May 1, 2018, 10:24:18 AM EDT

For what it's worth, Consumer Reports just "check rated" Canon PowerShot G3X. - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - May 6, 2018, 05:57:41 PM EDT
