Yes the 70-200 is your best choice. Your 16-80 will work well for sideline huddle shots and wide shots of players near the net.
Nice photos. You might try creating a shadow brush and dodge the dark areas a bit.
“floats like a butterfly, stings like a ??? Works every time.
Very nice photograph. The water doesn’t appear to be frozen, which is surprising for -27 degrees. Is that black ice?
I like the second better. The whole dining area just tells a more interesting story to me.
BebuLamar is correct. Exposure simulation allows the viewfinder to show correct brightness as per your exposure settings. If you’re shooting flash in the studio for instance, your settings will usually be several stops below ambient exposure, so the viewfinder will appear dark. Turning off exposure simulation allows the view screen to mimic ambient light regardless of settings. I believe this won’t occur if you use a dedicated canon flash, only for manual flashes synced from the hot shoe (R6) or pc socket on the R5.
