A Good Way to Cool Off

[DanOstergren]

We had a heatwave this in the US Pacific Northwest this week. Temperatures got up to almost 100, which isn't that bad compared to other climates and much worse heatwaves that we've had in this area, but the AC where I live recently stopped working, so I'm very glad it's over now. It did made it much nicer to take some photos in the Columbia River this week though.
Canon 5D MKIII, Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II lens, natural light.

The photos should be visible now. I was editing the post, which I guess made the images not show up while editing the post.

Thank you!

GREAT set!

Thank you so much!

Cracking shots Dan! A nice themed set too. I've also just taken advantage of the drop in used lens pricing myself, I suppose it's got it's up sides with moving to the RF mount, though I'd have still liked to see an option for new DSLRs.

Thank you Pete!
Yeah, the drop in price for used EF glass has made so many lenses that were out of my reach available to me now. I'm debation my next purchase, which will either be a 35mm f/1.4, or a 24mm f/1.4. I'm leaning towards the 24mm.

Decisions, decisions!

At least you know whatever one you go for, it'll be a cracking lens. I've been using a 16-35mm f4 L for a lot of my landscape work (I don't need the super large apertures for that). It's absolutely wicked sharp! I've a 60"x40" pano print I took hanging in my living room from a single frame.

That's awesome. I'd love to see the photo.

I'm very excited to get a new L lens when I make my decision. The 85mm was a dream lens of mine and I still feel giddy about it almost a year after buying it. I used to own a 135mm f/2L and it was a wonderful portrait lens, but I found that I much prefer focal lengths that are shorter than that.
