First Steps

I did the first steps with the R5: firmware upgrade, settings, sooo many settings. Overall this is a new setup to learn and it will take a while to master. Especially the Sigma seems to behave slightly differently with the EF-RF ring.

Nadine and Tilian spent the afternoon at NABU for their annual open door day, so I was busy with Kellin. In the evening I did a test shot with my favorite subject, the starling mother roaming around NABU. There were supposed to be barn owls in an old transformer house a few villages over, so at dusk I went there but had no luck. Found some poppies next to it instead.
