Switching between them was a reminder of the tradeoff between resolution and speed. Because of this, none of these cameras was a true “flagship” camera.

Photo By Clayton Peoples Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Moonset over Mt. Whitney” by Clayton Peoples. Location: California. “Since capturing the moonset near the Whitney Crest in my photo ‘Transition,’ I had hoped to get a photo of the moon directly above Mt. Whitney itself—particularly given that it’s the tallest peak in the contiguous 48 states,” says Peoples. “After a lot of research, I chose this particular weekend to attempt the shot.
