Took these while the sun was coming up this morning. It was a bit chilly and frosty out, but I got some practice in. 🥰

new camera (Canon R6) is a colossal upgrade, to the point where the way you are meant to use it is completely different from my old mid-range DSLR. Went out to do some photography in the park and I am going to have to spend a while fidgeting with the settings so that I can switch between the useful options faster. Menuing in higher end cameras has always been a big deal and I've used high-end cameras briefly but never for long enough to see how much.

It is really nice to use a piece of equipment that is this well made. My old 600D was a "nice beginner camera" when it came out in 2011. The R6 is a professional full-frame optimized for serious work. You actually have enough dials to realistically run full manual under pressure! You have enough focus points that moving them around actually makes sense! To say absolutely nothing of the huge leaps in image processing that have happened in the decade between these two cameras.

I'm adapting my old 24-105 f/4 lens, which is even older than the 600D but optics age better than bodies, it feels great to finally use all of this lens. On APS-C it gets seriously cropped to the point where it can feel kind of awkward, on full-frame you can really see why everyone loves it so much.

I still need some time to get used to the controls, a lot of these were shot with far too slow a shutter speed because I was not quick on the ISO draw. It'll get there.

After a hard morning trying to photograph under steel grey skies just after dawn, this kind goldfinch obliged me with a splash of colour when walking back to the car. Thank goodness for the goldfinch and the low light capabilities of the canon r6 mark 2.
