Shot this on the way home the day I got my Canon EOS R5 this was one of the test shots off the new camera, while at the camera store I also bought a new carbon fiber Gitzo tripod, and a Gitzo ball head to go with it, so had a great time with a new camera and tripod :) forgot to get a cable release while i was there so this was shot on self timer so it would not get camera shake from pressing the button , shutter speed at 8 seconds. I would like to note all my shots are setup in manual mode, I do use auto focus, but that is all, so it felt strange to use the self timer to fire the shot. Canons auto focus is lightning fast and works great so mostly do use the auto focus, it does have a problem with very low light focusing. so like on my 5d mark IV in very low light have to manual focus, A, three stop glass graduated neutral density filter was used to even out the light in the sky to the light in the darker zones, final corrections done in photoshop
The day I took this photo I witnessed the entire city engulfed in fog. There was a stunning sunrise to go along with it. And to make it worth while, the fog stuck around all day. I took advantage of my monthly car payment and hit a plethora of spots I've wanted with fog. I might post a couple others...

On the first day of 2019, after taking the fireworks shot at midnight, I didn't decide to do more photography at the beginning. However, in the afternoon, when I saw the cloud in the sky (mix of high and mid cloud), I knew there should be a good sunset and thus I decided to go back to this old location and shoot the skyline at sunset and blue hour. It didn't let me down, and I was able to capture a very vibrant sunset with Seattle downtown in the background.
I dont usually do this but I am actually posting a Night HDR for the purpose of telling you how happy I am with my new Canon 5D Mark II. This shot was at 3 exp at 3200 ISO. I have uploaded the entire image so you can see just how little noise is actually generated. I will post the iso 100 shot as well but I am going to work that image a little more. Just very impressed with this camera. Also impressed with Seattle. Love it here every time I come. Its a beautiful city and a blast to photograph at night. Can anyone guess where this was shot from? location wise.
