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
Early morning moodiness and reflections of the Seattle skyline on Lake Union with fog hovering above the skyscrapers. The image was captured around 5:50am. The conditions were very foggy, but with just enough fog hovering in the sky to reveal the skyline with the downtown buildings below, complemented by their illumination reflected on Lake Union in the foreground. This was a 30-second exposure which creates the long streaks of colorful lights reflected on the surface of the lake. In effect, the goal was to capture the mood, which contrasts with the feel of a sunrise or sunset. This mood or atmosphere is darker, more gothic, and enigmatic.

Happy Saturated Saturday!
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.
