Delaware River Scenics

Here are some scenics from a walk along the Delaware River shore between Riverton and Palmyra, New Jersey. These are all made with the Canon EOS RP and RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.

There is something about the RP and 24-105mm lens that doesn't seem quite right to me. I think I'm seeing a lack of contrast and dull colors from what I'm used to with my DSLRs and EF lenses. But, the RF zoom lens is a rental and I don't really want to take off the UV filter lest the front element get scratched. Also, I'm unable to use software I have lots of experience with due to the RP's .CR3 RAW files.

I'm now leaning against purchasing the lens from LensRentals rather than returning it. A problem is I've already sold my EF version of the same lens.  I have until Tuesday to decide.

Reading Terminal Market

I brought the EOS RP and RF 35mm lens into the Reading Terminal Market in downtown Philadelphia. The 24-105mm was to big to carry around in that cramped space and f/4 probably would not have been ideal.

These are single file images processed with Photomatix Pro 6. All are ISO 400, f/2.8 and shutter speeds ranged from 1/60th to 1/250th of a second. Here are some samples.

Christmas Morning Walk

I took a walk this morning over to and around Waterford with the EOS RP and RF 24-105mm lens. These are familiar scenes and the results aren't really distinguishable from the Canon DSLR bodies and lenses. But, five file hand held HDR images would have a tendency to even out the end product regardless of the equipment used. And not being able to run Canon's DPP software on my current MacBook Air leaves me without a lot of processing options.
