Thanks. I shot most between 24 and 35mm as we were right under them. F/11, ISO 100 in bulb mode. I was on a tripod with IS off using a corded shutter release. Anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds depending on what I saw. I also had long exposure noise reduction turned on, which meant an equal pause to exposure time between shots as the camera takes a closed shutter shot to eliminate sensor noise. I processed in DPP4 and had downloaded Canon’s picture style editor earlier. So instead of the standard picture profiles, I applied the “Twilight” profile that came with the style editor with AWB - Ambience Priority. A quick gamma adjustment, then remove any shadow lifting. And done.
Oh yeah. Cropped to 5x4 or 4x5 ratio as appropriate.

Son-in-law asked for some photos of his bike race today, an hour long criterium. R6 and RF24-240 did great - I used the entire focal range and had very few out of focus (even though I haven't upgraded the firmware yet). The 1DX2 stayed in the car - it would have required a few lens changes. Overcast day, but I'm pretty pleased with the results for my first sports event with this combo.

These are RAWs processed in DxO PL5 using some global settings across all images for the lighting to create 50% proofs. I didn't take the time to go back and clean up the individual images other than some cropping. I'm waiting to hear which images they would like to print or use online.
Camera settings included Auto Lighting Optimizer Medium, Picture Style Fine Detail, Clarity +1, Peripheral illum corr ON, Digital Lens Optimizer standard. So it looks like I modified two of them.

I recently purchased the RF 24-240 as a travel lens. Before buying it, I was somewhat concerned about image quality as I would be with any 10x zoom lens, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the lens. It pairs well with the R8 and delivers a very useful focal length range and very good IQ across that range. Examples of the versatility, from the towering redwoods at the Muir Woods National Monument and Alcatraz Island seen from the ferry, to a distant view of Sutro Tower from Alcatraz and a closeup of a butterfly.

Absolutely lovely, Neuro.
I sold mine a few years back, but ever since, I keep getting tempted to buy another copy. I nearly pulled the trigger last week.
I mean, it lacks a certain 'pop' some of the other (more expensive) lens have, but ... There's just not much to match it in the R mount when it comes to sheer versitility as a travel lens. Not to mention how compact and light it is (for a 10x full frame lens)
