Canon EOS-R5 images

RF 85 L , f1.2 , 1/1000s, iso 12800.

it was very dark, and I tried the electronic shutter for the first time. I’ve had poor hit rate with the mechanical, but the electronic was very impressive. Cropped quite a bit.

this not processed the way I usually do it, it’s from camera to iPhone and upload.

I've been impressed with the low light to the point I was pushing it as much as I could to see what I could get away with.. so lesson learned.. at 12800 ISO there isn't a lot of dynamic range in low light to bring out shadows ;-) while this shot is not particularly exciting.. didn't think it was possible except with a tripod. This was handheld for a full SECOND..... ISO 160 F 5.6 yes there is some blur, but a fair bit of that is the wind as the cars go by.8U4A0704 copy.jpg

Tried out F/11 autofocus with the 2X teleconverter today. Insane reach at effectively 1,280mm when you see the crop mode through the viewfinder. Hard to spot your target at that focal length!

Autofocus worked great, sometimes would lose track and end up searching through quite a long distance, but I normally corrected that with the manual focus ring quickly. Rough ISO outside of daylight, but totally usable with the EOS R5/R6. I think this experience today makes me totally understand the F/11 lenses. Even in the shade, it was totally usable for social media and really made for some impressively long reach. For the vast majority of amateur photographers who just post to social media, I very little reason why they wouldn't be happy with the results of a 800mm f/11.

EOS R5, EF-RF Control Ring Adapter, 2X teleconverter III, 100-400mm F/4-5.6L IS II. ISO 5000, F/11, 1/200th. 17 megapixel 1.6X crop mode, effectively 1280mm F/11. Somehow, even at 1280mm, bit of a crop in post as well.

The high wing with the engines underneath is very distinctive and I don't know (though I'm no aficionado) of anyone other than Antonov who does that for civilian airliner-sized planes.
Well when you consider the fact they were designed as military transport planes then look to the worlds military transport options to see many other similar designs. The Lockheed C5 Galaxy springs to mind, but the C17, Airbus A400 etc etc all have the same layout. The difference is ex military planes in the West don’t tend to be civilianized the civilian need is satisfied by converting end of passenger life commercial aircraft to civilian transport duties.

Usually shooting bands in dark and dingy bars and nightclubs, never used the eye focus that much.
Spent the weekend at the Hua Hun International Jazz festival where it worked a treat under stage lighting.
R5 and the RF 70-200

For the dude on guitar I had to switch back to spot focus as his specs causing some confusion.

Lunar halo a while back.

EOS R5, EF-RF control ring adapter, EF 16-35mm F/4L IS. Handheld to try to find the right angle, ended up too low for a tripod. ISO 2500, F/4, 1/5th, 16mm.
