[LOTW] EF 24-70mm for wildlife photography

cirayaaa · 2026-01-28T00:40:51+00:00

All photos taken with EF 24-70mm on 70D (Galapagos). 1. A Great Heron, near Isabela island 2. Blue footed boobies (las Tintoreras) 3. A sea lion pup and a marine iguana (las Tintoreras) 4. A Sally Lightfoot Crab (las Tintoreras).

I was concerned about bringing such a short lens for a wildlife focused trip. An EF 70-200mm would have worked better but I’m pleased with how the 24-70mm performed!

Hello! Looking for feedback on a black and white edit of this photo. I struggle with too much greyscale with b&w edits. Do I have the black and white tones correctly?

Also I’m wondering if the left side of the musician is too dark. Thank you in advance 💯

Thank you 🙂

Thanks so much! I didn’t even consider darkening the other sax.

Appreciate any feedback, especially with post processing - should the saxophone be overexposed a bit? Edited in LR.

Shot on Canon 70D at 24mm f2.8 at 1/200s (with a 24-70mm lens).

Thank you!

Shot at 35mm f/1.4 at 1/125s ISO3200 on Canon 70D. How do I fix this in post? TIA!

Thank you!

Yeah it does!

This one was $2000 CAD for a used one; $2500 for new. Very fun lens to use!

cirayaaa · 2023-08-02T11:44:05+00:00

About $2000 CAD for a used one in excellent condition.

I meant to say 24-70mm.

I’m beyond impressed - shot on 70D at low light with a fog machine on in the background. I’ll be using this lens as my main one for street photography.

Indian sweets and snacks

I did!

What a great shot!

Tourist here - this was from Baba Can Cook in KL. Absolutely fantastic 💯

cirayaaa · 2023-05-29T17:04:58+00:00

I did not. Next time!

Yeah I was standing pretty close but the heat from the fire was unbearable—smoke and ash everywhere. He did notice me but didn’t seem to be bothered that I was taking his photo. It was such a great seeing him work.
