Can you post the RAW image of the robin? I would love to take a look at it. I'm glad you are happy with your new camera!

EOS Bodies / Re: Big Megapixel Development Announcement in the Fall? [CR2]
« on: March 25, 2013, 09:08:58 AM »Thanks bud, suprisingly....not much snow! Looking out my window today and I'm trying hard to imagine that it's late March....lol!
It's funny that you say that. We are WAY under average snowfall in the DC area this winter too. The overnight forecast called for a possible dusting of snow. I woke up to a very unexpected 4 inches of snow on the ground. I took some quick shots of the woods behind my apartment before heading to work..a pleasant surprise. In keeping with the recent conversation about DR in this thread, I will push a single shot exposure and post to show that even with shadows and snow the Mk III does just fine.

Thanks! Credit to Color Efex Pro 4 for making the cheetah pics pop. I probably ought to re-edit the others at some point.

I love your pictures. I've not tried a 6D, but I think having 61 AF points to choose from in single point mode was critical to me nailing focus when using my 400mm f/2.8. All of these subjects were moving at the time I took these. I just don't see how I could have nailed focus without the Mk III.

5D MK III Sample Images / Re: Cherry Blossom festival
« on: March 14, 2013, 02:39:07 PM »
The forecast for peak blossoms is March 26-30, so I think you have a good chance of getting some good shots. My picture in this post was definitely after petals had been falling for a couple days. As far as lens choice goes, your 17-55 will be great. There may be a couple of creative shots you could try with a wider lens, but honestly none of mine were keepers. That being said, I'll tell you that some of the monuments are fun to shoot with a really wide lens...like standing in front of Abe or under the dome of the Jefferson Memorial.
Out of curiosity, I had a search for conferences with those dates. Fruit fly genetics? Who knew?! EDIT: I should say, "Who knew there was a conference for this?". I've long known the species genetics were studied.
If you are interested in meeting up, I'm happy to play photo guide over the weekend.

Street & City / Registered for Google I/O. Anyone else attending? Let's take pictures!

I'm staying through Sunday and wondered if any other people from this board would be there.
I'll be shooting the city while I'm there and hope to make it up to Muir Woods for some photos as well.

EOS Bodies / Re: Dynamic Range vs. Exposure Range, and why the difference matters
« on: March 12, 2013, 09:18:31 PM »I don't really see the point of trying to diminish the importance of the dynamic range as measured by DxO by assigning to it a term that no-one is familiar with (aside from "advocating" for a particular brand whose sensors have weak dynamic range, that is)
He says he's using a D800, so I doubt that is his intention.

I've never been to this guy's blog before. It's very interesting. I wish it was better indexed.

Landscape / Re: How Would You Edit This Landscape Photo?
« on: March 07, 2013, 07:32:31 PM »
Here's my take. There are some good renditions here and some frankly awful ones (even ones that didn't intend to be)
