Upon finding this whitetail buck eating berries, I knew the shot I wanted. Patience paid off, and he eventually chose to eat the overhead berries to check that box.
I frequently talk about the background of an image, and here the green lichens-covered tree trunks add color that is indicative of this park. The lens took care of blurring those trees and the rest of the background, making the deer and berries he was eating stand out.
I was alternating between the EOS R1 and the EOS R5 Mark II on this trip, looking for performance differentiators, especially in regard to AF. The two cameras' AF systems performed similarly, with little difference being realized.

PROGRADE DIGITAL™ ANNOUNCES PG20 PRO THUNDERBOLT™ 4 HUB
Customize and Organize Your Workflow Without Compromising Performance
San Jose, CA January 7, 2025, 8:00 am PT — ProGrade Digital™, founded with a mission to provide the highest quality professional grade digital memory cards, workflow solutions, and solid-state drives announces its new PG20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub. The PG20 Pro Hub is based on the latest Thunderbolt 4 technology which is designed to achieve 40Gbits/sec transfer speeds. It is equipped with one Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 85W charging upstream port, three Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 15W downstream ports, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, enabling users to have additional ports available for use. Its unique design offers a magnetic top base, specifically engineered for attaching up to two ProGrade Digital readers which can be connected using the 6” custom-designed, high-performing short cables (sold separately). The PG20 Pro Hub is also equipped with a patented magnetic base and comes with an adhesive metal plate that allows users to mount the hub to any work surface. The PG20 Pro Hub is also supplied with a high-quality certified Thunderbolt 4 cable – assuring the maximum performance possible. The hub can also be combined with the PG10.5, Pro Mini SSD that also mounts seamlessly to the top of the hub. The PG30, Ultra-Portable SSD can utilize the Front Type-A port or the back Type-C port for quick file transfer. The PG10.5 and the PG30 will be shipping in Q1. The PG20 Hub is shipping now.
“We are extremely excited to be announcing our entry into the complementary category of Thunderbolt hubs to our line of professional workflow solutions”, said Wes Brewer, Founder and CEO of ProGrade Digital Inc. “While the marketplace of Thunderbolt 4 based hubs is fairly crowded, we have spent the time to think about how professionals work with our card readers and what they need to maintain a clean workspace in designing our new PG20 Pro Hub. Utilizing our patented magnetic base, we have enabled the customization of how professionals can mix and match their card readers while also enabling a very clean workspace. With the three downstream Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0 ports, the hub can support two of our USB readers while still having one port available for attaching other peripherals like our PG10 Professional SSD.”
ProGrade Digital PG20 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Hub Features:
Like all ProGrade products, each hub contains a unique serial number to ensure best-in-class after-sales support and tight quality control of the components used inside. Using this serial number, a customer can register their product at http://progradedigital.com/register
