A bit early, so processing isn't really top-notch, but I managed to snag a couple of warblers migrating back to the south over the weekend, while visiting friends in Cleveland, OH.
A couple of snapshots. Haven't really been through everything yet. Struggling to grasp the camera's operating characteristics (versus my fumbling about as usual)...
At least with the photo sizes and samples on the forum, there's little difference if any between the R5 vs. a 5D mk iv, 5DS R or EOS R.
Really goes to show that the R5 and R6 may be more about luxury and a few extra features than the nuts and bolts of photography.
But still glad to see the new body on the market. It's usually more enjoyable to have more to choose from than less. For however many who are not system-jumpers, I suspect a good number of R5 owners will be hanging onto that camera a little longer than some other models they've owned.
I'm really beginning to enjoy the R5. These were all taken with the 100-400mkII in Cuter State Park in South Dakota. The Wildlife Loop offers more than just animals. This camera is a great landscape tool beyond its reputation as an "action" camera. All handheld.

On one hand, the image sizes on this page would probably be served not just by the 5D4 or 5DSR but arguably by the D30 as well, and I may enter some images in that context. One can also attribute the lots of "back yard photos" to the fact that people are kinda trapped these days, although some have better photo back yards than others

I went to the redwoods the other day. But I'm thinking of driving just 2 miles from home here, where 2500 houses burnt to a crisp before FEMA begins cleanup.
It would make a good documentary to keep on hand. Water heaters remain like monuments, motorcycles torched and sitting on the rims, block walls, etc.. Maybe early morning or late day when the light is soft. There's also fire smoke wafting in from distant forest fire too, adding a look to the sky.
Nice ones. DB?
The cormies always seem to have their heads slightly angled away from me in flight so it is nice he was nodding in your direction for these two shots.
A couple more from last weekend. Slowly, I meander through them.
First one is a catbird, but I took it at ISO 12,800, and had to raise exposure about a stop in post. I probably would have tossed it, but its nice to play with the images and see what can be done. Had it needed any serious cropping, I'm sure that the detail would have been crushed through noise reduction.
