See my Sony mirrorless wishlist and Nikon mirrorless wishlist and Canon mirrorless wishlist.

This page looks at whether shooting a much shorter exposure at ISO 400 can produce better/worse/comparable results to shooting a much longer exposure at ISO 64. Long exposure noise reduction was enabled for both.

These Quaking Aspen trees are the largest I have seen in the Eastern Sierra. Special soil conditions submerge the creek below the creekbed by mid-summer, making these aspen save from beavers.
