I’ve seen a meme going around of “uncle Bob will also be taking photos” and uncle Bob is a professional wildlife photographer with a $20k lens.
This got me thinking, does anyone actually do this as a service; having a third shooter with a long lens for more candid, non-posed shots?
They use this car door for demonstrations at work, i always wondered what it is from.
I have been shooting jpeg plus raw to get some quick results out of camera.
Is there any reason to store the jpegs long term when I have the raw files which contain the same and more information?
Thanks!
Hello, I have been searching and I’m unable to find an answer.
I have an S5, and there are times when I would like to quick toggle between single and burst mode, without turning the dial. For example, if the camera was normally in burst, but when holding a function button it would switch to single.
I went through the customizable menus and I didn’t find what I was looking for.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Edit: the use case is photographing cars arriving at a car show, some drive by at speed, captured in burst, some stop, which I want to capture in single to frame the shot more carefully. I don’t really have time to flip the mode switch back and forth.
Panasonic S5
TT Artisan 500mm f/6.3 with UV filter

When shooting with this telephoto, I regularly get these weird lines showing up in the bokeh balls. I have tried with and without IBIS, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I have cleaned the sensor, lens was brand new and glass appears clean.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!
Hello, I am curious how folks approach situations where extreme reach is needed, such as photographing ships out at sea, distant birds in a nest, cities from a mountaintop, space station transits, etc. Situations where you would be on a tripod and just want the longest reach possible.
I currently have the Panasonic S5 and TT Artisan 500mm which has been great for getting into wildlife (even with manual focus, I’ve been hitting some bangers). But I find myself wanting more reach!
From my research, it seems like extreme telephoto was more common with film cameras back in the day, I’m assuming because the modern pixel density allows additional crop.
I have also experimented with mounting the camera on a Celestron C90 MAK, which was not a good fit due to extreme vignetting, difficult focus, and poor color quality.
What do photographers typically do in these situations?
Thanks!
