Jun 19, 2016 07:49 | #10 Your pictures are stunning! Thank you for sharing. I hope you dont mind me sharing mine...they provide a different perspective, but in no way near the quality of yours.
Had I know of this possible launch, I would have rented a longer lens, but thankfully I had my 250mm with me on my 70D.
