With an infrared camera, I got to see my local park in new light. Here are a few photos from my walks this week.

WB on tree, R / B swap, G split R 50 / G 50.

Just got a used full spectrum Canon T5. EF-S 10-18mm lens with a 670nm filter. Learning to edit and still trying to find my style.

I got the Sigma 17-40 for my R7 and found this combo to be perfect for travel, street, landscapes, and portraits. Sharpness and micro contrast are unequivocally outstanding. AF is instantaneous and silent. For landscapes, I use MF with focusing peak to check DoF; the focus ring is smooth and perfectly placed. With the weather-sealing, I have used it in light rain without worry. The lens is amazing for blue hour photography, and sunstars are beautiful starting at f/8. Bokeh is generally good, but there are slight onion rings. With the IBIS of the R7, I did not mind the lack of IS on the lens; all shots here were handheld. I rarely found myself wanting to go wider, but I have wanted to go longer (this is where the new Tamron 17-70 might be competitive). The lens does look intimidating from the other end, which is a consideration for street and portraits. I have tested it for infrared and it is unfortunately unusable; huge hotspot at all focal lengths and f-stops. The internal zoom is nice, but I sometimes find myself not knowing what focal length I am at when I pick up the lens. So I reset to 35mm when I put it away. Overall, I am very happy. Did I mention it's star-bursty?
