OR: Select an younger still spry participant to lightly touch the shutter button and get back into the front row.
If your camera has the Wi-Fi capability, the Canon App available for IPhone and Android solves teh problem without any out of pocket expenditure.

YUP! Except it doesn't involve expensive pieces of Phot print paper!

Typically, after basic editing in Lightroom Classic (straighten, crop, remove distractions, exposure adjustments, sharpening) I then export to NIK Silver Efex Pro. After using Silver Efex, the photo imports back into LR.
That's my "workflow," too.

I went from a 50D (The T2I's big brother to the 77D which is the 80D's lighter smaller brother, but with the same Sensor and Operating System. Both Jared "Fro" Polin and Tony Northrup have excellent step by step set-up and usage tutorials on You Tube. The touch screen and other controls will have you producing quality 24MPIX photos immediately. and with 2/3rds more resolution, you can crop more with the 80D. Great Choice!

Locking up the mirror is no big deal. Easy way is to use the delay feature. Also live view where you compose and actuate the shutter using the back screen, the mirror is safely and quietly outa tha way!

PS: AND YES!!! Pro's use lock up for tripod based landscapes and detail shots and others as required. At every Workshop I've attended, they emphasized mirror vibration as a sharpness killer, especially at slow, like 1/20th.

Hi Pat,
I always thought, and you very nicely illustrate, that Blue was the orphan cousin of the Primary RGB. And the physics show it by Blue's position on the refracted spectrum. In addition, the old English Christmas Hymn could very well be the inspiration of your first photo.

Subtilty isn't a word I've ever used to describe a sunset photo. The blaze of the setting sun on the horizon is the initial pull, but the dramatic, nearly monochromatic sky and clouds and the gentle reflections of the golds and yellows in the shoreline ripples contrasting with the blues would earn a prominent place on my wall.
Thanks for sharing. Perhaps those vets are who sent this opportunity to you.

E.L.,
I always appreciate your comments and observations, and in a case or two, corrections. Your use of the formation of "interphase" to express what the tech community define as interface is thought provoking. Because the artfully conscious manipulation of mechanical and electronic controls is a phase of activity get the desired physical results is what we do, after all. Your thoughts on equipment is ultimately practical, and it recalls come comments by a prominent Wedding and Portrait photographer who reminded her audience that she and others were making a darn fine living using 10 and 15 MPIX APS-C sensor cameras at the dawn of the Digital age. Of course the first "Full Frame" DSLR had 12 MP.

I like the interaction of the tree branches and the boards on the building and roof, especially.

Sunrise is for photography. and sunset is for cocktails..............
Nice middle ground. Those pesky leaves block so much of the view you woke up so early to capture.
Love It!

I agree. Removing them crossed my mind as well. But they ARE a part of the scene, and are therefore important.
In reality, how many snoozing "passer's by" do we see in the "neat and tidy, everything's picked up" spaces around town. Another important element is the gradient of the red color of the bench from sunlight to shadow.
Removing the debris crossed my mind, and then continued .......

Nice. Again, the colors distract from the scene, so it’s b&w for me.
I'm a B&W Bigot. But, the color image tells me more of the story. Some of the building detail is revealed in the color shades which are pretty subtle in the BW.

That is just gorgeous. We do not have fall colors like this in California.
Except Nevada City on HWY 49 East of Sacramento. The early residents imported Maples and other Oaks from New England. Otherwise we usually get Aspen Gold and some sparse scattering of reds.

Actually they did a very good job with the new Mill Ave bridge making it fit in with the original.
No, not a copy but a good compliment to the original design.

I know you spent some time here:
They did a nice job keeping the old look along with mdern methods when replacing the Reno Virginia Street bridge in Reno.

Yes, I was expecting to next month! Other primes such as the 400 2.8? I went for the 600mm because in Yellowstone you have to be 100 yards from bears, wolves etc. I got some ok photos with my 100-500, but wanted much sharper images….. this Eagle certainly was closer than the wolves in Yellowstone…
I don't have personal experience with big glass. BUT: These are about as sharp as I've seen. Even Download, the eyes and beaks are sharp. A slight rim lighting around one of the beaks. The feather detail is crisp. I've seen worse in major Photo Publications.
Be proud,
