Shooting with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II

I have been on a video shooting kick in the last few months.  I have been shooting with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II camera and the Canon RF F1.8 35MM lens. I went out yesterday and shot this

Shot at various depths of fields on the R6 Mark II with a 35MM f1.8 Canon RF lens.

Butterfly

I decided to go to the Experimental Farm yesterday to see if there were any nice flowers being grown.  I think it was too hot during mid day to capture anything nice.  Due to the extreme heat this summer and lack of rain, the flowers were a bit wilted.  I did manage to capture a nice butterfly.  Photography and taking videos for sale makes me happy.

Junior Egret at Mud Lake

Today was a fantastic day in Ottawa.  We're having great weather on the weekends.  Sunny and warm.  I on occasion go to Mud lake in Ottawa to do some photography since there is a variation of birds at the lake from Owls to Great Blue Herons and egrets to chickadees, nuthatches and robins.   WIth the shallow waters this year, you can get to places that you couldn't before.  This junior egret has been hanging around for the past several weeks.  I've managed to get some really good photos and video of this amazing bird.  He is not skittish or shy around humans and will completely ignore you.  Which is good for us photographers.  :)

Glad I went!

I seem to be shooting a lot of video lately.  More video than photography.  I didn't even bother taking my cameras today.  Only took my Canon Vixia HF R62.  I'm glad I went to the Gatineau side of the Ottawa river after work today.  There were big puffy clouds that were moving at a quick pace over Ottawa today.  

I'm sitting at a Timmie's right now editing the videos while listening to a YouTube video on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC and the Google Nik Plugins.  Pretty cool software.

Shot some new video today.

Went on a walk today at lunch with my Canon Vixia HF R62 1080p 60fps camcorder.  Shot some video of stuff I never knew Ottawa had.  I kinda like discovering new stuff in my own city.  A lot of my stuff is getting approved on the various micro stock sites but some of it isn't.  Some is selling.  Some is not.  Just gotta keep shooting and uploading and hope for sales.
