One late evening around 10pm while setting at the pond at one of our cabins in AK drinking a cold refreshing adult beverage as the last light was almost gone.
All while listening to the sounds of common & Pacific loons, a GHO and a few Sandhills off in the distance.
First week with the R5. Lots of learning but starting to really enjoy it.
In contrast with the D850 it is no comparison in terms of versatility and quantity of sharp shots. IQ appears to be right up there with the iconic DSLR but still lots of shots to capture and compare.
I didn't see as much varied wildlife as I anticipated during my recent trip to the Tetons, Yellowstone, and the Wind River range, but there was certainly no shortage of bison to be found...
Pius, great series and in my neck of the woods, I saw some lady Mergansers for the first time this year. Unfortunately, I had a 100-400 so it was more of an academic exercise in identification.
Geoff, fantastic images and I see you’ve found the old 400 DO and are making it sing. Interestingly, this is the first weekend I’ve been able to make it to the shore and was very impressed by the R5’s performance in this setting. Though there weren’t any “interesting” shore birds, the R5 tracked gulls admirably as they swooped against the water and gray skies. Also the AED performed very well shooting dark coots swimming and diving in opaque water with a long prime+tc. Experienced the first “freeze” where an image froze in the evf and the camera became briefly unresponsive with the 100-400 is ii. Turning it off and on did nothing and the image persisted. Was about to pull the battery but the camera suddenly became responsive after pushing a couple random buttons.

Armd, I find when that happens I just keep pumping the back-button and it usually kicks over...
Just curious were you in MS or ES, I find mine locks up more in MS since the firmware upgrade.
