Photo by #CanonExplorerOfLight @erinbabnik: “I remember the days when photographing even moderately low-light scenes while handholding a camera required a sturdy posture with arms pressed against my sides, exhaling slowly as I gently pressed the shutter button. In addition to using those techniques, I would fire off a high-speed burst to ensure that at least one frame would be acceptably sharp. Thankfully, it is now possible to get even better results in such light without going to such extremes.
On this morning in Death Valley, I held my camera aloft as high as I could reach in order to frame up a composition without interfering with any of my students who were enjoying prime positions in front of me. My usual approach during workshops is to be available for instruction while also staying out of the way. Therefore, when the scene looked too beautiful to resist, I grabbed a quick shot while extending my arms above a row of heads. Relying on the IBIS of the Canon EOS R5 combined with the IS of my lens, I raised the camera to a height that even my tripod would be unable to reach. Thanks to the great stabilization, I was able to come away with a perfectly sharp image, and the convenient swivel of the LCD made it possible for me to see what I was composing. In this instance, I can say that the capabilities of my gear enabled me to create an image that would not have been possible even a year ago.”
