One of the few disadvantages of photography in North Yorkshire is that you are often operating under steel grey skies just after dawn. In my case I am also usually under a canopy of trees. Although not ideal, this does bring the low light capabilities of the Canon R6 Mk2 come to the fore. 


A pheasant stands on lush green grass, facing right. The background is a mix of blurred foliage and branches. The bird has speckled brown feathers.

A robin with a bright orange breast perches on a branch in a lush, green forest. The background is blurred, creating a peaceful mood.

A squirrel with a bushy tail sits alertly on grass, surrounded by green foliage. The mood is calm and natural.

This weekends experiments showed that images at 25600 were struggling with a pixelated background, but that images at ISO 16000 were perfectly usable. This will be my new maximum variable ISO limit in future. 😊
