Software & Accessories / Re: Joby Gorillapod for ground level Macro work?

Neuro, I actually just packed a beanbag (actually an aromatherapy lavender sack!) in my bag for tomorrow's shoot at the Arboretum. I'm going to try 2 sec self timer and my cowboy studio remote, I assume either will have a similar result. I thought of using MLU but probably won't notice any difference. Am I wrong?

I have heard, Print yourself shoot Adobe, print at a lab shoot sRGB.

Software & Accessories / Joby Gorillapod for ground level Macro work?
« on: September 24, 2012, 07:29:17 PM »
Anyone use this, either the Focus or the SLR Zoom models? I've been doing quite a bit of Lensbaby Macro about 2-6" mfd at ground level and need a small tripod to hold a 5D3 and an EF 100.
Any other sub $100 suggestions are welcome, Thanks

Lenses / Re: New Pancake Lenses
« on: September 23, 2012, 10:43:02 AM »
I'm curious to wonder just how fast Canon might be able to make a pancake. Is 1.8 out of the question for say, a 24?

Pancakes are usually 20-40mm but I have seen them as low as a 12.5 and as high as a 70.

I suggest a Lensbaby Composer at 2.0 for acid photos

Software & Accessories / Re: Recommendations needed for Compact Flash cards for 5D Mk III
« on: September 21, 2012, 11:15:33 AM »+1, cards aren't just about shooting! Plus I got my card for free, Extreme Pro 16GB , so my wallet only drained from the 5D3 I had to buy to get the freebies!So if you're not maxing out your camera's buffer with continuous bursts or video, a fast card will do nothing for you - except drain your wallet.
That is not entirely accurate. Faster cards mean spending less time waiting for the images to move from the card to your computer. This may not be important for some people, but many photographers will have hundreds or thousands of images to transfer and slower cards simply take longer. Time is money (to most).

EOS Bodies / Re: Best FF option
« on: September 21, 2012, 11:11:23 AM »
I am so happy to give up my 7D for the 5D3. After all, now I can crop instead of having the .6 extra reach. The high ISO IQ and other benefits outweigh reach any day for me. Sell it. I got what I paid for for mine.

Software & Accessories / Aperture 3.4 Issues
« on: September 20, 2012, 09:16:10 PM »
Aperture 3.4 crashes upon loading. The solution is to delete the plist file in your User/ Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist

Canon General / Re: Value for your money - has this ever been uttered by Canon ?
« on: September 20, 2012, 06:57:54 PM »
After spending 24 hours with my new 5D3 I honestly think it is a value at $3400. WOW

EOS Bodies / Re: Who really is the target demographic for the 6D?
« on: September 20, 2012, 06:57:02 PM »
I was holding out on buying a 5D3 because of the new FF coming and after spending ONE day with the 5D3 I am soooooooooo frakking glad I didn't pick up the Traveller's camera. This thing is worth it. I am amazed at the low light quality shots I got at dusk last night. ISO 8000 looked ten times better than my former 7D's 1600.

I used to use anything over 266x for my 7D but my 5D3 freebie pkg arrived today and I just tested the SanDisk Ext Pro UDMA-7 CF card and WOW is it fast! I have never seen RAW shots populate that fast before. Impressive.
