I spent a few days in Brugge and found the city to be rather photographically charming. A tripod is a must if you want to control water refections and not have to rely on hand holding / image stabilisers.
The weather was very variable which gave me a some variety. Cross over light was quite nice.
I found the food to be excellent and I was introduced a local beer caleld Kwak….very nice! The cafe culture is amazing and the cakes, chocolate and coffee options were a real treat.
Gear wise, I enjoyed my Canon R5 a lot, but apart from the higher resolution I far prefer the new er features and cleaner images from my Canon R6ii. So I might upgrade / sidegrade my R5 for a R6iii later this year. My keeper shot stats were 46 from my R5 and 262 from my R6ii. I clearly wanted the cleaner iso images. I got a lot of use out of my EF 11-24mm f4L. My EF 24-70mm f2.8 L was my most used lens and a managed a few shots with my long EF 100-400mm f5.6 II L. With come of the long exposure images, I made great use of my 5 stop drop in ND filters.
I took my smallrig travel tripod, I didn’t have the need for my big Sachtler Flowtec 75.
