Having woken up at 4AM to make a sunrise trek from New Jersey to Ricketts Glenn, I had tripod in hand and was ready to capture mirror-like images of the morning sun hitting the horizon over Lake Jean. However, that wasn’t to be, the dense fog rendered visibility to about 20 feet. Not a problem! When interesting atmospheric and weather conditions occur you just roll with the punches!
Long exposure landscape photo of a foggy morning at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania.
The above photo was taken with the Tamron 18-270mm VC Lens and the Canon EOS M Compact Systems Camera with the shutter at 5seconds, an aperture of F/13, and ISO 100. Taken in Aperture Priority Mode with -1/3 exposure compensation dialed in. Carbon fiber tripod, Spot Metering, 2-second delay, Auto White Balance, RAW image format.

Wonderful atmosphere and framing, Dave. How do you like the EOS-M? I considered purchasing one.. But once the Sony a6000 was announced, I settled on that.

Aaron – I bought two EOS M’s when they went on sale on eBay. $249 new in box that came with the 22mm F/2.0 lens. I will probably sell the lenses, but I purchased an aftermarket Canon EF to M adapter to mate my current lenses to it. I did have autofocus hang once yesterday, but it might be a faulty adapter. At ISO 100 (base ISO) my landscape files came out very sharp and noise-free. I tried to do some macro photography on a 2cm butterfly recently, and found that the touchscreen and lag of this model are not ideal for macro wildlife. I still find great value in the camera for an 18mp sensor, 1080p sensor, and standard Canon hot shoe.

Thanks for your observations.. If they go on sale again, I’ll most likely purchase one. I have a few EF lenses I could use with it. (after purchasing the lens adapter)
I wish Canon would get serious with their Mirrorless offering(s) and announce the EOS-M3 and Pro-sumer version. And announce a few native lenses (like that elusive 11-22mm that is only available over seas)
