Sony RX10 mk IV share your thoughts, interest, images.

A couple of Spotted Pardolotes. Very small birds.
1DXII and Sigma 500 with 2X were set up and I did get some shots with that combo.
The better shots were from the RX10 though.

Took the RX night rig out. It works! Took a 3:4 portrait crop out of the landscape original.

Powerful owl with Grey-headed flying fox.

My first time trying an 8 frame composite shot from RX10 Mk iv stills. I started out with a few frames and kept adding until I ran out of room on the canvas. I probably should have just split this into two separate 4 frame composites, but this is my first attempt at this so here it is. Suggestions for improvement always appreciated. I subtracted the green color of the water and boosted the black and white levels for dramatic effect.

Cool, that's excellent. I need to have a go at that with my osprey shots...

Top work.

Thanks Gary! Yes, I'd love to see a composite of some of your shots from the Horn Mill Osprey Hide.

It sure does work. Great shot.

Is that prey a bat? Never heard of a Grey-headed flying fox...???...

Fantastic life capture, or death in this case
I've seen another owl, the Black and White Owl, in Costa Rica that eats bats specifically.

No studio stuff, he was sitting in front of my Weber

Pteropus poliocephalus. It's a megabat. Wingspan up to a metre.

I would rename him Fang.

Take off... work in progress...

While these shots are no testament to image quality, they are an example of the value of portability.

Week before last, in the middle of the afternoon, I heard a bunch of sirens passing our office and then stop right outside. When I looked out, there were multiple police vehicles, an ambulance, and fire investigation truck. Naturally, having my RX10 in the car, I figured it would give me the benefit of extended view so I grabbed it. Little did we know that someone had found a missing mother who had disappeared from a car accident the previous day. She was in the field out back, and unfortunately, she had passed. :-/

Here's the news article on it: https://www.dallasnews​.com …plano-woman-drove-freeway

I captured these photos from our dock, about 80 yards away.
