I really like how the feathers look. Beautiful bird.

R7 with RF 100-400mm ƒ/8.0 1/640 ISO125 400.0 mm, slightly cropped and auto exposure in DPP

I was helping a friend set up his R7 for birds a while ago and took some shots as well. Just a gull, taken late in the day.

Hey all,

Is anyone else having the issue that when you view vertical CR3 files from an R7 in Windows file explorer, they will not auto rotate once they open? The thumbnails are in a vertical orientation and they will start to open correctly, then flip clockwise 90 degrees, ( and you cannot rotate them once they open. The option is greyed out). I did not have this issue with CR2's from the 7D2. Thanks for any help with this.
The raw files will import into Lightroom classic and are oriented correctly once in Lightroom..

Do you have the Auto Rotate menu item under Set Up Tab #1 adjusted so that computer auto rotates?

Double checked that first and auto-rotate is, "on for computer".

I just downloaded FastStone image viewer, which I had to use when I first got the 7D2, before windows supported the raw files for that. The vertical CR3's open just fine on that program. So I guess we'll use that instead of file explorer.

Two more... R7 and Canon 400mm f5.6L.

Anyone has used screen protector on their LCD? If yes, please could you share.
TIA

That is a great catch. Gull is looking at you like you are lunch!

The gull may very well have been looking at her to see if she is carrying food, as gulls tend to do when they live close to lots of humans that eat outdoors.

Thanks! I love these big gulls. They have such stern and even aggressive looking faces. It’s probably the yellow eyes.

You’re not wrong in that gulls do do that. But in this case I shot him from home and he just happened to fly towards me to land on the roof right above me, where they like to hang out.

Sorry to bump. (It may have got lost.. hence)

Gulls are masters at deciphering human body language, and implementing it. I once sat at a park picnic bench, and a gull with an injured leg came and perched on the other end of the table. He held his injured leg up and cocked his head at me with a long stare, *asking* for a bit of my sandwich. Quite interesting to see how he manipulated people like me into giving him food. Gulls often just snatch and run, but he could not do that with his vulnerability.

This was definitely a well-practiced action on his part. They are smart birds. Of course I gave him some!
