M6 II + Adapted Canon EF 70-300 II IS: SpaceX Night Launch
6

...hand-held from the beach behind our Cocoa Beach hotel. Google Maps estimates we're 16 miles south of the SpaceX Launch Platform 40 (where the liftoff took place early on the evening of Dec 16, 2019).

I brought this lens (and the M6 II) instead of my favorite EF lens (the 100-400 II) hoping to get decent results.

These shots (and the moonrise shots) were my first with this lens...I think it's a keeper.

Simple cropping with Picasa--total editing time five minutes for straight-out-of-camera jpegs.

Shooting with any of Canon's recent M-format cameras...is fun!
