Post your R5 Images Here

This police car was racing to an emergency. I didn't have time to think about camera settings, but fortunately my shutter speed was about right for a panning shot. Anyone know if there is a panning thread, please? I can't find it.

It's a fantastic sport for the spectators!

Moonset from my back garden:
It's winter here in New Zealand, so the sun rises late right now.
After looking out the window and seeing the position of the moon, setting in the west as the sun rose to the east, it was just the work of a moment to grab my R5 and RF 100-500 and get a shot of the moon setting above the morning mist hugging the hills of the nearby Waitakere Ranges.
One of the challenges of shooting the moon can be the very strong contrast between the very bright moon and the normally pitch black sky behind. Catching the moon as the sun rose reduced that contrast significantly.

Spot on Focus saves the Day

I was shooting at the Zoo with the EOS R5 and the RF 100-500, hand-held. One of the most elusive creatures is the Serval, a slender, medium-sized cat that stands 54–62 cm (21–24 in) at the shoulder and weighs 9–18 kg (20–40 lb). It is characterised by a small head, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its body size.

The serval is a solitary carnivore, native to sub-Saharan Africa and active both by day and at night. It preys on rodents, small birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. It has amazingly strong hearing which makes it a challenge to shoot because it does not like noisy humans, so it tends to turn its large ears away. It also tends to hide most of the time behind obstructions, so it is relatively rare to see it out in the open.

On this occasion I spotted it hidden in the undergrowth, excellently camouflaged by its striped coat. Because of the intervening vegetation it was barely discernable, but the R5's animal eye tracking nailed it. I used single point focus, servo along with eye tracking, so that it seeks the smallest zone possible.

This first image is the whole image - I was shooting with the 1.6x crop enabled on the R5
