first post of an image out of my canon r6 from a recent saturday morning stroll through the phoenix desert botanical gardens.

although i've had the r6 a good couple of weeks, this was the first real opportunity i had to spend some time with the camera. first impressions of use and general handling, and image quality are FANTASTIC.

i've also been working to transition my post processing workflow to capture one, and this is literally the first image i've edited and exported. so far, i'm also very pleased with what i'm seeing from capture one.

image was intentionally edited to be somewhat matte and vintage in appearance so my wife and i can display this along with some other images previously edited in a similar manner. true-to-life colors were spot-on and possessed that "canon look" i've long desired.

lens used for this shot was the canon rf 35/f1.8. lovely little lens.

"Tack sharp" in more ways than one! 😁
 
Nice shot! I'm in the Phoenix area too. I keep wanting to go to the Botanical Gardens but have yet to make it. I'll make it there one of these days.

welcome! you absolutely should make time to go (especially before summer really cranks up!) - evenings are also really nice. i'm looking forward to returning soon as well.

If you want to mix both plants and animals, the Sonoran Desert Museum is also an excellent place to explore with your camera. They are very camera-friendly for non-commercial photography.
 
The Desert Museum in Saguaro National Park is a great place to visit to do photography too. Amazing opportunities to photograph hummingbirds as well as many other kinds of birds and plants.
