Lots of editing to do but here’s one teaser from Sandy & Chad’s wedding this past Thursday!

Congratulations Sandy & Chad! My only snaps on the iPhone but got so many epic photos on my proper gear, and while these look cool on the phone these same shots on the Canon proper gear are *epic*. I’ve known these two lovebirds for 10 years and they’ve been together for 12 years. Happy to see them finally married!

Finally catching up on editing North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) 85 conference photos from beginning of June. Sunday photos are done and I switched back from Apple Photos to Lightroom as Apple Photos kept doing funny things to blowing out certain areas when all I was changing was white balance. Trust Lightroom to the rescue thankfully! Overall Apple Photos has come a really long way though since it's early days, but that was one quirk I just couldn't live with on these. (PS if you do like editing in Apple Photos, the new MacOS Ventura beta added a few improvements there too!)

The RF 28-70 f2/L lens is soooo sharp! Works like a dream on my Canon EOS R5 body. Loving my move to mirrorless!

My new precious has arrived! Canon EOS R5. My control ring adapter to let me use all my EF mount lenses on this new RF mount won’t be here until Friday, so no example or test shots from me until then…. Stay tuned for this weekend when I will be able to play around with it 🙂

Pretty excited, going to be doing my first wedding in a long while for a friend/co-worker. As a result going to upgrade my primary camera body to a Canon EOS R5 and finally get into the world of mirrorless. Thanks to the lens adapter I'll still be able to use all my existing lenses!
