Adding close focusing capabilities to an otherwise useful focal length and max aperture combination adds versatility — and fun. The Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Lens is one such lens.
Here, the RF 28 gets close to a honeybee, with a bright cloudy sky creating a high key background.
From a composition perspective, besides getting close, an overall balance was the goal for this (and most) images. The sunflower was itself worthy of being photographed, but the honeybee added another point of interest to the composition.
Bees will often work their way around the flower. Figure out their plan and make yours accordingly. While the bee was farther back on the flower, I positioned the lens for what seemed the optimal composition and timed the shot when the bee arrived.
For a long time, I have been sharing my camera setup guides and including a link to them at the bottom of each relevant review page. These pages have become quite popular, so now a "Setup Guide" link is included in the top navigation for these camera reviews.
The guides are free, but please remember to support this site.
Here is the complete list of setup guides (as of this post):
The Canon EOS R50 is here, and it is time to set up this camera for use. Following are the 36 steps taken to prepare an out-of-the-box EOS R50.
I make additional menu and other setting changes based on current shooting scenarios, but this list covers my initial camera setup process.
To copy this configuration means you intend to shoot as I do - including in RAW-only format. While this setup works great for me, you should adjust the setup to your needs.
If you can't remember your menu setup parameters, keeping an up-to-date list such as this one is a great idea. Anytime the camera is set to the factory state, such as when serviced or when acquiring an additional camera, you will be ready to create your setup quickly, while ensuring that an important setting is not omitted.
