Then just before sunset this evening we got this beautiful double rainbow. Just a quick grab shot from my front door.

Then, to round off a good day, I managed to capture just the palest of Aurora on a very clear and moonlit night.

We had an iridescent cloud at sunset the other day:

You'll see a lot of excellent Canon images here, but don't feel like you need to change brands. You can get great results with either and Sony, Pentax, Fuji, etc., etc. aren't so bad either. Dave

Thanks! No saturation boost or any other crazy PP. It's rained so much here everything is unnaturally super green. Saturday was awesome with crazy cool clouds that we don't often get here so i was out and about with both my Canon for wildlife, and my Fuji for landscape.

As mentioned Balfron, if you do go to Flickr you will find the full EXIF info there. But for convenience here is the kit I use for these shots - Canon 5DIII + Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L lens. As Dave mentions, a sturdy tripod is the key to a good, steady night shot with long exposures. My favourite tripod for these shots it a very ancient Linhof tripod. I actually inherited it from an uncle of mine in 1989 (!!!), so I've had it for 27 years and I've no idea how long he had had it before that. It's marked as 'Made in West Germany'. It's so heavy and sturdy that I always joke that I think it was probably made from leftover bits from a Panzer tank. The other 2 shots, Lossie Estuary and The Rainbow, were taken on my little Fuji X-T1.

Ed, it's great to see California green again. If you only had a place to put all the rain, you'd be fixed for the next five-years.

Ed, love your "Ghost" shot. I got a similar look from a red-tail hawk yesterday:

Thanks Dave! Nice red-tail. The 5DIV auto focus is amazing. The only downside is I am still a bit reach limited in some situations. I'm going to try to get a 400 DO through CPS and see how it works at 800mm with a 2X. The combo works well on my 300 2.8 for 600mm, and I have seen a lot of guys using a 1DX2 with that 800mm setup.

Portrait of a mallard and her uninterested mate. Taken at Lake Crescent, Olympic National Park, WA on a typical rainy day using a 55m lens at f2.0.
