I think the Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens is nice and sharp at f/1.2, at least at moderate distances. Yes, the out of focus backgrounds can be a bit busy. This shot isn't a great example as the trees aren't all that far behind the monument.

In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

Testing out an RF 100-400mm lens this morning at #VischerFerryNaturePreserve in #CliftonParkNY. I've twice previously owned this lens. It's useful, but not great. A "bargain" lens. Maybe third time's the charm. #Photography

It was a gorgeous morning at #SaratogaNationalHistoricalPark this morning. Here are some scenes along the Wilkinson Trail. Tomorrow is the 249th anniversary of the first battle which took place in the fields and woods below the current visitor center location down to the Freeman Farm.

The rain (and clouds for the most part) held off for a great night sky event at the #NeilsonHouse at #SaratogaNaitionalHistoricalPark last evening. NPS and #Saratoga250 provided the #livinghistory.

It did happen here. Here are some photos of sites in the Sprouts visited by the northern army in 1777. The article is well worth a read. August through October is anniversary time for Bennington through the surrender in Old Saratoga (Schuylerville). Get ready for next year. Captions in ALT.
