Hi Andreas — What a sight ! And IQ is superb as always. Great work.
Loved the framing here, the Bears are nicely placed. You have also made
most of the nice light inspite of the fog.
Looking forward for images from the new gear whenever it arrives.
TFS.

Nice to see you posting at 1900, offers a better view of things.
The low shooting angle works, likewise the framing, always nice to get within the bears, they are such cool animals. I appreciate the mist issue, but perhaps I might have expected a bit more from you, LOL, did you push the blues?
I was just reviewing some R3 files yesterday, good luck in setting it up, as some settings may appear to look like 1DX, but to get Animal eye detection to work there are some settings you definitely need to change and how you configure, EVF menu can be a minefield in its set up too, but it is awesome.

BTW R1 might be around 10k this time next year!!!!

Thanks Steve ... sorry that I did not reach your expectations , mea culpa , try to process better with the next one..... maybe it was I was using my limited intelligence instead of the possible AI , LOL
. The blues are not specially pushed in terms of saturation ... I just gave them a slight kick by darkening them through a selection of the blue tonal range .
I just think it perhaps isn't as good as previous, no 'pop' at the PP, just thinking based on your PP skills, but then sometimes it simply comes down to the file and the surrounding weather conditions. I can sympathise very much, as with the PB's, as you don't see the small snow particles falling, yet the file does. Looking forward to seeing more Bears, you can't get enough bears, a bit like Tigers too.
I am guessing you had preproduction files to look at , right ???
No, actual production files from someone who got their hands on one, courtesy of Canon. The AF just gets better, but Cars as a Custom option, not something I will use, unless Flavio Briatore invites me back onto his boat at Monaco, which was nice. If you can, get either 256 or 512 card, or two 256 and the EF/RF Custom adaptor as you might find it's beneficial. On a full day with the Raptor and Electronic shutter I was close to running out of cards!!!!
The ideal scenario is a 21-24mpx & a 45mpx, ie R3/6 & R5, from what I saw yesterday re R1 the Press officer needs shooting with a conflicting message, along with the Nikon person re Z9 (over $2bn sales ), they then said they put a zero in too many times, or a decimal point, LOL.
Don't ask me re settings, apparently I know nothing, just remember how AF works, you then will have a better grasp on eye detection. I still think the 1DX MK3 is sharper, Animal Eye detection makes it feel as if you are cheating.

Ok Steve ... no question of skills , just thought and think it is well processed . For sure ( as most of the times) always room to process it with more punch/ color / tone and so forth .... actually did not want to get rid of the hazy look & feel in the lower parts of the image .

Yep, agree, it's just that main bear for me, but lets move on...

So Canon boys getting back to the image! (Couldn't resist! After all, It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use. ) Only kidding!!
Firstly it looks like a 1600px image to me??? Colours and details look great, I am not sure if the OOF bear actually adds, it looks rather static and yet draws attention. Having said that I think it is a high quality image and it makes for pleasing viewing.
I wish you the best of good fortune with the new camera, if you get equally good results then OK if better - well even better.

Thanks Jon and Gabriela for your kind comments ... much appreciated .
@ Jon - i am fully with you , not a question of the used gear . For me the second bear does not detract from the main subject .....
@ Gabriela - it would not be necessary to get the latest gear , when it comes to the output for my photography . But I like to have it .... so I ordered it , because I can at the moment . Life can be short , as I discovered this year . And running again into the next Covid disaster ... with a lot of limitations , so I thought why not be a boy and get the latest toy . Useful or not ....

Truly beautiful imo. Amazing just how sharp and packed with detail. I think the 2 tones in the background (blue and green) add nicely and personally don't think the back ground bear detracts from the image
