Still Learning

I’m continuing to adjust to using my Canon Mirrorless R. Today I went out for a walk with the camera and my go-to 100mm lens. It’s heavier than the 35mm that I recently purchased, but I am used to it, I like how close I can get, and I just find it more satisfying. I do believe, though, that I need to rethink an acceptable shutter speed. I find I have to trash a lot more photos when I review them.

This image is from today’s walk. I think it will suffice, but had I been using my Rebel it would have been sharper, I’m sure.

Canon EOS R Mirrorless Update

I’m still learning about my new camera. I made very few shots on today’s walk: there just wasn’t a lot that caught my eye. I was using the 100mm macro (which requires a mount adapter), and in order to show you how things are going at the moment here is a photo that included a few ants. (And yes, this camellia really is called the Yuletide.)

Tomorrow, weather permitting, I’ll head out with the 35mm lens I received just today. (Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM Lens) I’m curious to see how it does with macro work. It’s certainly not the 100mm, but it’s definitely smaller and lighter and might suffice for travel.
