Couldn’t help myself had to mess about with these shots.

A couple from Snetterton, taken today.

Wasn’t aware of the blackout issue either, thought the screen stayed on.. Quite liked the idea of a 1DX3 but I’m not a pro and it would be so ATGNI and OTT.

No worries Amanda, thought I was missing a trick with the 5D.. would stick one on my wish list if so!

That’s interesting, thought you lost a stop regardless with a converter. I struggle with the 100-400 when snapping the rugby in fading winter light, otherwise it’s good for Motorsport, panning at slow shutter speed mostly, though I prefer the 70-200 if I can get away with shorter reach. Thankfully it didn’t cost me too much to upgrade, MPB are good and new 5D4 was a grey import. R5 looks good, nice spec too! Probably big price. Might go mirrorless one day, though want to grow into and get the most out of the 5D first. Not keen on changing lenses as well, not sure how well the mirrorless work with the EF system. As you Amanda, COVID came along and messed up my life plan figuratively speaking that is.. I’ve Just retired at 55 and looking to move, so not keen on spending too many penny’s, might have to look to returning to work while the world sorts itself out. All the best with getting through this. I’ll finish with another shot from Hastings..

Thanks Amanda, decided to go for it a little while ago and picked up the 24-70 and 70-200, absolutely no regrets, as you say glass is everything! Can’t get enough of the bokeh, though I’m sure the novelty will wear off at some point. I didn’t bother with completing the trinity with the 16-35 as I tend to go the other way with sports and the 100-400, which gets a lot of use. Trying to avoid the temptation to get anymore gear, though quite fancy a macro, some battery strobes, a 1DX3.... lol

Went along to Hastings old town today, my favourite shot is this hole in a boat..

Thanks Amanda, if you fancy the 90D let me know, after MPB trade in price for it. Linkage to original here. I used a couple of studio strobes, one with barn doors and blue acetate, the other with a long soft box and grid.

Quality shot Geof. Took this one tonight.

Picked up a 5D4 yesterday. Found a manifold to use as a model and had a quick go..
