Re: Shooting the M6 Mark II into a sunrise

Another sunset from last night, this one with the EF-S 18-135mm IS STM at 42mm. It's tricky to get the right exposure to get the 'disk' --- in this case I set the camera on manual mode and just adjusted shutter speed until it 'looked right' in the EVF. The Sun's disk almost blew out to highlight.  I shoot a lot of sunrise/sunset photos, it's a great time to go out on the bicycle.  Slight adjustments to gamma, shadow, highlight brightness in DPP 4.0, a little noise reduction. Daylight balance but no color adjustments, this is pretty much what it looked like in person. No cropping or downsizing. The lens isn't the sharpest in the world, but it's pretty consistent across its range and very versatile.
