Today Brandon and I went to the ROM with Estelle & Georgia, we go often and thought it’d be fun to have some company and it was great!  Little G was so cute there were times she was scared but she persevered and I’m proud of her. While we were there Brandon did kid’s exploration game that encouraged children to explore the museum and I have to say it was rather fun to go and find specific artifacts and displays!  He earned 3 pins for all the running around, something he was proud of and I loved spending the time with him.

He had the Canon Rebel SL2 around his neck and snapped some pics as well, I think the pictures are great and he’s got a real eye for composition.  He’s much more artistic than I am.

Brandon took more photos but for some reason I was having a hell of a time uploading pictures, not sure what the problem was but it was damn frustrating.

As you can see the kids had an excellent time and we ate lunch at the ROM too.  Estelle & Georgia left a bit after lunch while Brandon and I completed the tasks to earn the pins.  We got home just after 2pm and relaxed the rest of the day.  I did some cleaning and just before dinner I took this picture of the moon and it turned out great!

That’s with the Canon 6D MK II, 70-200 F2.8 IS II w/2x extender @ 400mm, F8, ISO 100 & 1/40 sec.  I had everything set up on a tripod but at that shutter speed I might have been able to hand hold it!  There’s going to be a super blood moon next week, I hope the skies are clear like tonight so I can get some great pictures.  This is also as close as I’ll be able to get with my hardware, I’d need to buy Canon’s super expensive lenses to reach any further and it ain’t worth it since I won’t have any other uses for them so that’s out.
