Full-Frame Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Image Thread

Not the best but a little story behind it - On holiday in Canada, driving along and out the corner of my eye spot something sat on a fir branch 'omg - it's a tiny owl'. . . . . no other cars about so stop, reverse back and pull off the road, jump out open boot (trunk for our American friends) open camera bag - put lens on - hoping it's still there - yes! take a shot. . . . few steps closer another. . . . closer still and. . . . . gone! Moral of the story - keep the camera set up on the back seat lol.

Nice shots and a great story. And a good reminder to always get a shot/look first, then work on getting close. had to double-check, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Boreal Owl. Northern Saw-whet has a dark bill and a more diffuse border around the face. A very nice find.

On closer inspection, I agree. Thanks.

Possible - thought it might be a 'Boreal Owl' after a quick google search.

Yes. KD-Reno ( later post) points out my error. I agree with BOOW

Sunshine Beach looking towards Noosa Heads

This is the same location as the tiny tot surfing photo above. The differences, apart from the subject:

• 150 mm; not 500 mm
  — the 'short end' seldom used by me
• waves revealed for what they were
  — quite small; as was the surfer (post #29)
• pointed north rather than east
  — early morning, so this was relevant!

Quick 'daytime' moon shot whilst in Canada, handheld / deep breath and click - surprised it came out as well as it did - something to be said for Canon's stabilisation mode huh.

Highlighting a different aspect of the RF 100-500mm... its surprising short minimum focal distance lets it be used as a pseudo-macro. All were taken handheld in windy conditions on the first day that I got the lens.

I was out shooting birds in a place called Alvor salt marches (Portugal) and it was slow. I noticed planes taking off and landing. I went back to the highway and worked my way to the airport. They were taking sky drivers up. At the marsh I heard this wine and I thought it might be fighter jets. At the airport I heard it again and looked up. This time I could see them. It was the chutes in the wind. They land back at the airport. I was in the wrong spot for them but I set myself up for the plane landing. I was using s slow shutter speed (1/125) for prop blur but was not ready for the people.

I’m going back and now I know where to stand for the parachuters so I’ll do both them and the plane again. I managed one shot but had to crop it a lot so it’s not that great. A bit of a double header. The R6II has a 24mp sensor but it can hold its own. Not a very usable but an example. I know I was little concerned with 24. My sweet spot was 30mp with my R.

Minimum post processing. Both camera and "lens" still surprise me.

I picked up this lens yesterday from our local camera shop in Pensacola. So far, I have been very pleased with the results.

1st all just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their images of this this. Because of this page I decided to trade in my Sigma 150-600 for this lens and right away I was so happy with it. Took it to the Zoo yesterday for day 1 and right away I felt like I made the right decision. Couple images from the day attached.

Lastly how are you guys making the meta data post with the images you are sharing? Thanks again everyone!

 

[David Berry]

How are you making the metadata post with the images.

Beautiful photos!

The eager contributors to our forum can assist with the metadata issue, but we need to know what software you are using to process your photos and how you export or convert them to jpeg? Do you start with raw files (.CR3)?
