That's a mirrorless camera, yes? I've no experience with mirrorless.
That's my GX8, but mostly I use a GX85, because it is smaller, and has better stabilization.

I had huge technological gaps to jump. I went from film to digital point and shoot / cell phones to my mirrorless. Three years ago I didn’t even know what a mirrorless camera was, nor had I heard the term. This thread and conversations with Bob and Dave are why I ended up with my current camera and newly rediscovered joy of photography. I’m better for it. Thanks gents.sigpic

A site called Birds of North America states the following:
"There are two species of juncos in North America. The Yellow-eyed Junco, and the Dark-eyed
Junco. The Dark-eyed Junco has at least seven sub-species in its group. They are the Cassiar Junco,
Gray-headed Junco, Oregon Junco, Pink-sided Junco, Red-backed Junco, Slate-colored Junco and the White-winged Junco"

So far so good! I'm getting used to the bigger tank, and of course the lack of L bars (I do like those crazy L bars), and the chain/shaft difference. It runs real good, though the throttle feels a teeny bit gritty, but that could be my imagination. The display does not indicate what gear I'm in, but that's not hard to get used to. The seller changed the oil before selling it, so I don't have to investigate that for a while. Also the seller threw some Chase Harper saddlebags in, that was nice. Easy on and off, too.
I think the turning radius might not be as tight as the GS, but I haven't really had a chance to put the bike through any good twisties yet.

Ya. I've gone mirrorless as well over the last few years and after a foray with Olympus and seeing how Bob loved his GX85 I also ended up with one.

When its 11PM, you're still a two hour drive from home, have to work tomorrow, but you want to do a quick check out of a spot....
The train was a nicely timed surprise. As always, I need to work on my panning game. As usual when a train arrives I'm not properly prepared, or second guess myself.

This is what caught my eye when Googling the area around the Susquehanna State Park. A dam that has a road over it.

Rt 95 bridge over the Susquehanna. I recently photographed this in the day and from the boat launch across the river.

I haven't seen anything specific to panning. The pic was taken using a kit lens in autofocus and rushed so its hard to say if it was poor focus or poor panning- probably both. I'm sure that the low light situation didn't help. I've found that train pics in low light are difficult due to the intensity of the train lights. We have a train in town that goes right thru the middle of town once or twice a week that I want to photograph, but I miss it most of the time or catch it later at night at the dark edge of town when its switching a couple of cars.
A few times I've stood nearby the highway at home practicing panning and had a bit of success, but the pictures were boring. In those attempts I was using the manual lens and either set the focus on the highway divider or the lines on the road.sigpic

Glen, this is just some random website I found on panning but it speaks to what I was getting at. Shutter priority mode is what I was trying to remember. I don't know what that equates to on a mirrorless camera but maybe it's something worth looking into.Ryan

I saw Bob with two Panasonics MicroFourThirds (gx1? gx85? gx8? gh5? gh-something) at Brown County rally, and was impressed with the small size, great for carrying on bike. At first I was concerened about sacrificing photo quality for the size, but then said, hey, its 16megapixle and got a used GX1, and then I got a used GX85 (after I dumped the GX1 out onto the highway).

I have adapters so I can use my SLR lenses from the 1970s and 80s on my MicroFourThirds camera (manaul focus of course) (camera in ApPri only, set Ap on the lens).
Maybe with the lenses for you DSLR you can have focus and all exposure modes.Last edited by Redman; 11-30-2021, 02:03 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg
