Went out for a skyline shoot after the rain with a new-to-me Canon 70-300L and Metabones V adapter! It’s taken me about a year to “upgrade” from the CZ 100-300 in favor of this lens, which affords me AF, OSS, and weather resistance. It’s passed the Flickr test many times with rich colors and contrast, isn’t much bigger than a 70-200, but is quite heavier. Hope to try it on my A7R2 after this shot with the A74.
We got snow (geese) today. Actually these are swans in the last picture. The park estimated there were about 80,000 snow geese today at this location. The most they counted was 200,000 in 2018. When they blast off at the same time, it's like a tsunami.

At Lock Ridge Park (the site of an old Iron Furnace works), Alburtis, PA.
I posted several images of dead trees from Deadvlei and here is an image from above. The trees and several people are clearly visible in the first image on my monitor. FYI, the trees grew there some 700-800 years ago when it was still a marsh area. Slowly, the water of the marsh disappeared into the ground and the trees became relics since then…
