1D X Sample Images / Re: Weddings

That's why I bought a reverse adapter 

If you want full control while reversing the lens you may have a look at http://www.novoflex.com/en/products/macro-accessories/reverse-adapter-eos-retro/. This provides full AF and aperture control. Just a "liitle" more expensive than your solution  (299,- € + price for lens adapter).

BTW Great wedding photos!

French lady

Great catch.

Did you try to get more DR out of the blacks to visualize her body. Otherwise the head is "flying" over the guitar.

Or maybe it's just my monitor hiding this?

This is my first contribution to the cr forum. I have been admiring all of your works for some time and have finally decided to share a few of my own.

Glad that you decided to share this lovely pic. Like it very much.

Waterfall Autumn

That is beautiful. Beautiful colors and beautiful composition. What camera/lens combination did you use? Any post processing?

Shot with 5D3 + 70-200 f2.8 IS II
4 sec at f/32 ISO 100 200mm
Basic post in lightroom 4 to boost the oranges and greens, then applied some filters in color efex pro. I think i used pro contrast + sunlight filters on this one.

Thanks param for the explanation. You made the best out of the scene. Again: good eye!

EOS Bodies / Re: Any actual photographers out there?

« on: July 08, 2012, 07:50:58 AM »

Love this site and the various topics that seem to get people hot under the collar. But am amazed at the rather low level of knowledge out there on the subject of photography and the poor quality of work being showcased in these forums. Is it just me or do others agree?

Show us some of your marvelous knowledge, and post some images.  Your first time post did not quite manage to convince.

I didn't think, the OP wanted to offend someone, I think he is just asking, if others see it the same way. Maybe it would have been helpful if he gave an example of what he thinks is poor quality.

Maybe we can agree when saying there's a great variety of image quality.

I would rate myself as a poor photographer, but know pretty well the difference between a good and a poor image. IMO there's no need to be a good Photographer to discuss others images.

Snowy Owl in Ontario

This is an outstanding composition.

The owl is placed perfectly in the frame.

The yellow eyes are the magic in the else black and white and blue picture.

The long wings are getting more emphasized by the chosen angle of view, the short body looks even shorter when compared with the long wings.

Is this a real wildlife shot or supported by a animal trainer and a tame bird?

Any idea why the lens specs aren't printed on the ring?

And how about reflections caused by the specs when used with a filter? Not that I know that there will be refections. Just wondering if there could be!

I think 3 types of pro bodies make sense. 1) high res, 2) high speed and 3) high DR

I don't see a reason why you can't mix your options #2 and #3 in one bottle. You can use the same generation of sensor to have high speed / high DR / good ISO performance in one camera (such as 1D X) and high res in another (rumored Nikon D800 as an example).

+1

So there could be:

1D X for pros (12fps, 18MP)

5D X for pros, semi-pros and amateurs (same sensor as 1D X, but much lower fps, say 4 - 5 fps)

5D S for pros, semi-pros and amateurs also (new sensor with 30+ MP).

X series adresses wildlife, sports and so on.

S series adresses studio, landscape, architecture, macro and so on.

Too bad for me, I'm on wildlife, landscape and macro, so I have to buy both 5D X and 5D S, though can afford none of them 

@nightbreath: nice website, like the style of your photos.
