Another busy little bee! Taken with the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I preordered the new 100mm macro that’s an L lens and has image Stabilization. Can’t wait for that to arrive it’s gonna be awesome. @canonusa #canon #canoneosr5 #eosr5 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #naturephotography #floralphotography #flowerphotography #pnwdahlias #dahlia #dahliasofinstagram #dahliagarden #sunnyjimsfarm #honeybee

My new EOS R5 is getting a good workout so far. The bees over at Sunny Jim’s Farm were super busy as bees should be. Taken with the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

Spent some time today over at Sunny Jim’s Garden. They have the most beautiful Dahlias. I’m planning on stopping by tomorrow to bring home a few flowers for studio shoots. I’m so thankful to have such a wonderful garden like this close to home that is tended by two super lovely people who are kind enough to allow me to wander around the garden to take photos. @canonusa #canon #canoneosr5 #eosr5 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #naturephotography #floralphotography #flowerphotography #pnwdahlias #dahlia #dahliasofinstagram #dahliagarden #sunnyjimsgarden

Ok so with any new tool there’s always things to learn and growing pains. My major issue with the @canonusa EOS R5 is that @adobe does an absolutely crappy job with the color profiles. It’s extremely gross and I’m so disappointed that I just upgraded from @adobe Photoshop CS 5 to the new subscription platform only to find out it can’t offer the same color quality I’m used to achieving with the 5D Mark II. I’ve tested several methods and so far the best solutions are @canonusa’s Digital Photp Professional but I have to convert each photo one by one which is inefficient OR I can splurge on $24 a month to subscribe to @captureonepro which seems to do a good job but is way too expensive especially when I just subscribed to @adobe @photoshop and @lightroom . I tried a 3rd party profile Color Converge and I was not impressed. I just spent another $25 on Color Fidelity… we’ll see how that compares when the color profiles get to me. I’m using an Einstein strobe by @paulcbuffinc with a color temperature of 5,600K. I pride myself in my color consistency in my photo projects that span over several months allowing for the photos to be consistently the same despite the coverage of time. I need my colors to be true and I need to achieve this consistently with ease. #canon #canoneosr5 #eosr5 #canonphotography #adobe #adobephotoshop #adobelightroom #captureone #captureonepro #colorfidelity #colorconverge

First photo to share taken with my new Canon EOS R5. This was shot with the 135 f/2L. I love the buttery soft backgrounds this lens provides. I’ve got a lot to learn with this new camera and going to go do some studio shoots to get to know it more. The outdoor shooting was a bit of a challenge with the heat and breeze. Looking forward to more shooting outside when this heatwave settles down. @canonusa #canon #canoneosr5 #eosr5 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #naturephotography #floralphotography #flowerphotography #pnwdahlias #dahlia #dahliasofinstagram #dahliagarden #sunnyjimsgarden
