I'm pretty sure this is Choke Cherry (Northern Ontario), but if it's something else, please let me know!

Sometimes all you find are common birds and you can't always get close to them to get a good framing. This is my experiment on minimalism.

I'm growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its "scene referred pipeline" took some time, but now that I'm getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom.

Combined with digiKam, which is excellent for photo collection management, I'm a very happy photographer :)

He's apparently been a nuisance in the nearby gardens. Pictured here plotting his next move I do believe.

Unfortunately there was a shadow from the branch in front, so I did my best to adjust that in post. I had just showed up and wasn't really ready with the camera. Was able to snap a couple shots before he/she took off.

What do you think about the tri-photo format? I think it looks cool, but not sure what others think.

New camera, nube photographer.

In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center?

Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

First up yes I'm a camo nerd. Metal Gear Solid 3 awakened something in me! Anyway every now and then I take different camo patterns into the woods and take photos as a reference to help people choose what works best for them. This one, Pencott Wildwood looks way too brown in most photos. Check it out!

But with the selfie cam it looks a lot closer to how it does in person

Maybe it's just the phone software that's only used in the main camera? I've messed with some of the settings with no luck. Here's a closer view of the pattern to show you what it's like up close

Any theories?
