(1/40 sec @ f/7.1; ISO 800; +2/3 EV; AWB; FL 66mm)
… my new Canon 5D Mark II and me.
The new camera arrived yesterday (purchased from Adorama – see affiliate ad on left).
I won’t bore you with the details but it was a long and winding road that brought me to this point. But as they say, all’s well that end’s well and I am very happy with how this has ended.
As we are all wont to do, I wanted to check the new camera out. So I pulled down a flower and started to snap away just to check that everything works as it should.
I made this image under bare bones conditions using the new Canon 5D Mark II; 24-70mm f/2.8L w/ 500D close-up lens; handheld. Lighting was just overhead indoor lights.
Image was processed with Nik filters.
Congratulations to your new… friend
According to this photo it looks really promising. The gold/orange colours is very nice – is it result from AWB and indoor lighting or was the bloom really of this colour?
A beautiful friendship indeed. Enjoy! (Don’t forget your old friends wallowing in the trenches…LOL!)
Congrats on the new camera!
Beautiful golden tones here.
Beautiful image and processing. Love that camera. Just got mine a little while ago and it’s been great.
Congrats on your new Canon 5D Mark II. That is on my wish list… and Preston’s too. LOL I’ve only had my Canon 50D for 14 months and I’m quite fond of my camera. Gorgeous lily… I’ll have a bunch of those kind blooming in about a month. Enjoy your new camera!
Congrats for your new camera Ed, I guess this is gonna be a big change, and it already proves to be a good one with this sharp picture;-)
Lovely image! I like the warm glow. Congratulations on your new camera. What fun!!!! That lens sounds faublous, too.
