Wow! Stunning clarity.

Can you give us an indication as to whether you have cropped the pics? Or what lenses you've used.

From the advertising, they say you can blow the photo up to 6ft x 4ft and count the fibres on fur! Alternatively use very heavy cropping to get good photos from a distance that you can't see in the lens (like facial expressions of a sports person on the other side of the pitch.

This is the hawk full-size, all photos from 200-600. The hawk was shot with the 1.4tc

Sadly, my α1 is already headed off to the repair shop. When I first got the camera I noticed a constant humming sound. I assumed it was a cooling fan but it does not have one. The battery was also draining very fast.

I contact Sony this morning and they told me to send it in for repair as it’s not supposed to do this. The sound is clearly audible in video record as well.

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
