A stark, leafless tree stands alone in a vast, open landscape under a cloudy sky. The tree's twisted, gnarled branches reach upwards, creating a dramatic silhouette against the muted backdrop. The trunk is thick and textured, showing signs of age and weathering. The surrounding area is a flat, expansive plain with sparse vegetation, suggesting a remote or desolate location. The overall mood is somber and contemplative, evoking a sense of isolation and resilience.

I'm not *crazy* about this shot...yet. It's a composite and I'm not usually a fan of composites. The tree is on my street and was struck by lightning a few years ago. I removed the houses it was next to and just extended the sky. Meh. Shot with #Canon #R6MkII

2/3 Shot with #Canon #R6MkII, 50 mm lens with 36 mm extension tubes. Denoised and color corrected in #Lightroom. Lighting provided by clearance-sale #Xmas lights from last year that I strung up around the porch.

Pretty sure the resident spider photobombed me when I was going for the web.

Common Carder Bumble Bee on Purpletop Vervain ... really enjoying trying to get these bees in the best possible poses with my 90D and 100-400mm as that works better than the R6mkii + 100-500 with macro photography #wildlifephoto #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #wildlife #bees #90D #R6mkii

A detailed photograph of the Moon in its waxing gibbous phase, set against a deep blue sky. The Moon's surface features, including craters and lunar maria, are clearly visible. Dark, scattered patches resembling clouds or digital texture are dispersed around the Moon. In the bottom right corner, there is a circular watermark with the name "BRIAN RAGLE © 2025."

Not terrible. Shot this handheld, from the hip with a mediocre 75-300mm on my #Canon #R6mkII. Did what I could in #Lightroom.

A close-up of a cat sitting on a soft surface with its front paw extended. The cat has a calm expression and is looking slightly to the side. The image is in black and white, and the cat is surrounded by cozy indoor furnishings.

Dice is shown here taking advantage of a momentary respite in the ongoing Struggle of the Chair and who will eventually sit atop the Cushy Throne. #Caturday

All images taken with the R6 Mk II and either the RF 24-105 f/4L IS or an EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens.

New rig, who dis?

Seriously, though, the colors right out of camera on the @canonusa.bsky.social R6 Mk II blow my old 5D Mk IV out of the water! So much lighter and faster, also! Can't wait to try it under the night sky this summer!
