Some new pics

Been a while since I have posted, but here are some favorites from a recent shoot with the Reisbeck family - their girls are just plain adorable so it was a lot of fun to shoot.

Canon 5d Mark 2 pics

So I picked up my 5d Mark 2 the day it came out and have been very pleased so far. Here is a test shot I did of my brother-in-law as we were preparing to shoot his senior pics - since he was making "big eyes" it showed off his eye detail nicely. I cropped down the image at 100% so you could see the level of detail it is capturing, even at a decent distance from the subject. First, the original image for a "distance from subject" reference - this shot is straight out of the camera except for a slight exposure bump.


Now here is the 100% crop of his eyes - this is straight out of the camera with a Sharpening Amount setting of 25


Here is the Sharpening Amount at 75 with no masking

Now a setting of 100 with no masking:

Now a setting of 150 with no masking!

And finally, I added a Masking setting of 70 with the Amount still set at 150



Of course these are lossy jpeg images, but hopefully you get an idea of what this camera is capable of. I couldn't get this amount of eye detail with my old 10D using a macro lens! I wish I would have shot some with my 5D for comparison, but I am sure that with 75% more megapixels the Mark 2 would definitely outshine it, especially when you consider how well the Mark 2 held up to sharpening.

I hope to post some high ISO comparison images soon as I was very impressed with this camera at iso3200.
